The following makes only one reference and example of the term, in a sexual setting. The next following comments explain the origin of it and the meaning within Japan and as a genre, that is a sexual setting. So you just provided me with more ammo. (Great job.)
As far as the genre cares, "Loli" refers to young girls or young looking woman aimed towards a audience to provoke a sexual response from them. Also, yes words change meaning over the years. But as of 2016, "Loli" in Japan and in media means what I just said. If you want, then I can probably check for you when I go to Japan in a few months, if you are bothered enough by this to wait that long.
I'll answer all your points in a reply later, I first wanna know what do you think is on this picture: https://u.nya.is/gzszow.jpg
Now say it in 1 word, coming from Japanese origin, which is used widely in manga/anime etc.
