Which is "Lolita" in which is a book that the original description comes from, which is young girls in fiction, created for the specific reason to draw in those who have a sexual attraction towards it. As mentioned above, how this is portrayed depends on how each writer use it. But the idea behind it is to provoke a sexual attraction from the audience. Which is why "Lolicon" manga and anime are directed towards a younger audience, it was never meant (originally) for people who are 20 plus in age. While yes it is a man-made word, it still has a specific meaning. The logic that "each person defines it differently and thus it is differently" is stupid.
By that logic I can go to the President of the USA and yell; "I am going to fucking murder you and your family!" and then sue the Secret Service/Police for arresting me for saying "Good day, Mr.President" in my own definition of the words. Words have a specific meaning regardless of what the minority means. "Loli" is derived from "Lolicon" which is taken from "Lolita" and is a genre of fiction to refers to sexual content featuring underage/young girls. No matter how people define it, that is what it means.
Yes, the original idea behind it may have been to provoke sexual attraction; but just like the original rules of a sport changes, or the original design of a phone changes, the same can be applied here. Everyone can take it a different way, and just because the original concept of loli may have been to provoke sexual attraction, it doesn't mean it's permanently going to remain that way.
Also that reference was terrible to say the least, not to mention very over the top and not at all in accordance with the alignment of the current topic. At least do something on the same playing field. Telling someone you're going to kill them is not at all equal to saying loli is non sexual versus saying it is.
