There's two types of lolis:
1.) the actual little girls that are underage, and;
2.) the flat-chested adult women with short stature.
In this case, the author probably refers to the 2nd one, since those type of girls are common in Asia (East Asia specifically) due to genetics (I am one of them, albeit a SEAsian but I have mixed EAsian genetics lmao). In a way, it's also related to Japan's age of marriage since it's only been moved up recently (2022) for them. They could get married at 16 before. The age of sexual consent is more wild-- it's 13 before 2023 and moved up to 16 due to crime rates. Rn, there's still countries with much lower age of consent, the lowest being 12.
Idc if they're a girl,a boy, or trans. If they're gay, straight, or lesbian...I just support them for who they want to be and it's good for them if they want to be in a romantic relationship or just stay as friends (just keep it well-written) but what kinda bothers me is...why did they have to draw almost all the girls as loli...and I keep reading in the author's note that the author has a kid so it makes me wonder why they're drawing little girls/teens in a sexual way... It's just that the story is keeping me from not dropping this lmao
