"loli" is a 4chanism for a sexual target who is underage
Not quite. It's actually used to refer to anime characters that have the physical characteristics of young girls. You know, weeaboo territory stuff. The theme has become increasingly prevalent in anime as of late.
It has nothing to do with 4chan though
My fault, 15+ years or so ago some kids who were interested in /b/ explained it to me, and this was a while before it was widely understood.
not 4chan but japanese manga & anime culture.
The origin is russian though.
Not really; Nabokov was born in Russia but left at 19, and wrote Lolita in English while in the US.
Well... yeah, always forgetting about this.
The term is indeed from a russian book named lolita, but the term 'loli' has evolved via anime to mean something a bit different than the original.
Just otaku stuff. not just 4chan
