I sometimes check twitter for mentions of jmdict/jisho and I've noticed that this entry frequently comes up for discussion. It's apparent there's a sizable contingent of anime/manga fans who are into "lolicon content" that are adamant that being sexually attracted to prepubescent girls is a completely different thing from pedophilia. I don't know anything about Kevin in particular and am certainly not accusing him of anything, but I think we need to be aware there are a lot of people online who are very strongly opposed to "ロリコン" being defined as "pedophile" solely because it makes them feel personally attacked. Here's an example of a recent (June 24) Twitter thread where you can see how this usually plays out: https://twitter.com/COEofTypo/status/1539386476537970689 (there's a lot of replies but here's one that leads into this discussion of our definition as it appeared at the time on Jisho: https://twitter.com/ElFazendobarra/status/1539858524548632576 )

The argument that people on Twitter are making (that it seems Kevin is similarly arguing for) is that "ロリコン" should not be translated as "pedophile" because there are other words in Japanese that are also translated as "pedophilia/pedophile" and there is a distinction between those words (ペドフィリア/小児性愛 etc.) and ロリコン. While this is no doubt true, that it's only ロリコン that is used self-referentially, this doesn't mean that glosses like "male pedophile" or "male pedophilia" don't also belong here. We are not only concerned with getting the nuance right but also conveying the actual meaning of the word. Kevin changed "male pedophilia" to "sexual attraction to young girls" and "male pedophile" to "male with such an attraction", but are these really closer in nuance and meaning to ロリコン or just wordier and wafflier ways of saying the exact same things? That's a rhetorical question - it's obvious to me its the latter. It's hairsplitting. Look up the definitions of "pedophile" and "pedophilia" in any English dictionary. Notice also that ALL the kokugo definitions for ロリコン mention "性欲" - that an otaku-dominated wiki site like pixiv disagrees ("特別な感情" is what they call it) seems entirely irrelevant to me. This isn't a case of "Western bias", it's a case of looking at reliable sources instead of user-generated content.

I agree that "lolicon" rather than "male pedophile" should lead, for nuance etc. reasons, but that word will be meaningless to a lot of people, so we need to also include glosses that pithily explain what this actually means. We always strive for the most economical definitions so why exactly is it that we shouldn't call a spade a spade here?

Another point about the other reference Kevin posted is a blog post written by a person calling himself "初老のオタ" and the argument he is making is that ロリコン IS in fact used to refer to male pedophiles/pedophilia in Japanese media but that he finds this usage "wrong" because he has personally somewhat convolutedly decided that a "ロリコン" is somebody who is "sexually or romantically attracted to underage girls but doesn't necessarily want to act on it in real life" and that a ペド on the other hand is somebody whose "ultimate purpose" (最終目的) is to have sex with underage girls:

"ロリコン、ペド、チャイルド・マレスター……
これらの違いが曖昧な日本ならではの報道だなぁと。
...
少女・幼女に対し性的嗜好や恋愛感情を持つ事で、
最終的目標が性交の有無であるか否かは関係ありません。
...
●ロリは必ずしも性交を最終目的とはしておらず、
　ペドは性交を最終目的としている。"

We should really not be concerned with what "otaku purists" consider the correct use of the word (which by the way still would translate into "male pedophile" in English) but with how it's actually used in mainstream Japanese society. For more on that, see the multiple links I've previously posted.

We always appreciate input on definitions but the multiple accusations of "cultural ignorance", "Western bias", "chauvinism", "strangeness" and  "glibness" are not at all appropriate and if you wish to continue participating in the discussion on how we should define this word, I would hope you would afford other editors more respect than you've done so far.

Many of the references given by others below, despite their intentions, clearly imply a distinction between the concepts of lolicon and pedophilia. Some of them, such as the Wiki quote, literally state that they are different concepts. Despite this, this same reference was somehow used to justify including the gloss of "pedophile"? Truly strange, and obviously Western bias.

The pixiv article clearly states that lolicon is not necessarily sexual, which is not something that can be said about the different concept of pedophilia. Indeed, the very fact that "pedophilia" has entered the Japanese lexicon in katakana implies a core difference.

The blog article I provide underscores the fact that this is, at best, a debated topic. The current entry glibly sides with one side of this "debate" in a way that is unscholarly. Japan has a big cultural preference for the young and 未熟, and understanding that at a deep level is essential to understanding why it's inappropriate to glibly label lolicon to be pedophilia.

Honestly, they are quite obviously similar but different concepts, and it's culturally ignorant and chauvinistic to include this gloss.

The definition of "lolicon" is 
problematic, and I'd like to persuade you 
to update it since it is misinformation 
and sexist.

The definition erroneously uses the 
definition of male paedophile. A 
paedophile is the attraction to 
prepubescent individuals, and pedophilia 
is the attraction itself to prepubescent 
individuals. The term "Lolita" comes from 
the novel and is only about an early 
adolescence girl. Lolita was depicted as 
12 in the novel, and 14 in the film. 99% 
of the depictions of fictional minors in 
the lolicon genre have small breasts. 
Prepubescent children don't have breasts. 
They're flat as a board.

The shotacon entry doesn't say "female 
pedophile". This is sexist because it 
implies only men can have attractions to 
minors. Women can be attracted to female 
and/or male minors and men can be 
attracted to male minors.

Here is my proposed updated definition 
with better parity to shotacon:

ロリコン (lolicon) sometimes shortened to 
ロリ (loli), is a Japanese slang 
portmanteau of the phrase "lolita complex" 
and describes an attraction to early 
adolescent girls, or an individual with 
such an attraction, although it has become 
a blanket term to refer to any minor 
attracted person/attraction to a minor. 
Outside Japan, the term is used less often 
with this meaning, and is used to refer to 
a genre of manga and anime wherein mostly 
preadolescent or early adolescent female 
characters are depicted in a suggestive or 
erotic manner.

Daij and jawiki say "lolita complex" is wasei. Enwiki has 
no article on "lolita complex", only on "lolicon"

I'll accept that pedophile/pedophilia are probably accurate glosses, but I note that the JEs avoid that term. I suspect that in Japan there is a view that lolicon and pedophilia are slightly different things, but if you look at the actual definition of pedophilia, they are really the same.
Is there a problem with including "sexual obsession with young girls" in the glosses?

English language discussion where a manga translator suggests "pedophile" can't be the correct translation for ロリコン because the word "ペドファイル" (a pretty rare word 
in Japanese) exists. I disagree.


Daijs: "幼女・少女にのみ性欲を感じる異常心理"
Daijr: "性愛の対象を少女にのみ求める心理"
Koj: "性的対象として少女・幼女を愛すること。"
Shinjirin: "性愛の対象を少女にのみ求める心理。"
Nikk: "男性が、性愛の対象として少女に偏執すること。"

I think it's remiss to not include the glosses "male pedophile" and "male pedophilia". It's obvious that in Japan, this is how the word is used.

I agree 1 sense is actually better, but 
the previous glosses "male pedophile" and 
"male sexually attracted to prepubescent 
girls" align much closer with what's in 
the kokugos. The new glosses on the other 
hand skip out on the "性愛／性欲” part 
(which is in all 3 kokugos) and on the "男
性が、” in nikk. So I don't see how that's 
an improvement.

i don't think it's sexist, but i agree that it's too limited.  also, i don't think it's two senses.  we usually put the person in together with the action, etc.

The definition of "lolicon" is 
problematic, and I'd like to persuade you 
to update it since it is misinformation 
and sexist.

The definition erroneously uses the 
definition of male paedophile. A 
paedophile is the attraction to 
prepubescent individuals, and pedophilia 
is the attraction itself to prepubescent 
individuals. The term "Lolita" comes from 
the novel and is only about an early 
adolescence girl. Lolita was depicted as 
12 in the novel, and 14 in the film. 99% 
of the depictions of fictional minors in 
the lolicon genre have small breasts. 
Prepubescent children don't have breasts. 
They're flat as a board.

The shotacon entry doesn't say "female 
pedophile". This is sexist because it 
implies only men can have attractions to 
minors. Women can be attracted to female 
and/or male minors and men can be 
attracted to male minors.

Here is my proposed updated definition 
with better parity to shotacon:

ロリコン (lolicon) sometimes shortened to 
ロリ (loli), is a Japanese slang 
portmanteau of the phrase "lolita complex" 
and describes an attraction to early 
adolescent girls, or an individual with 
such an attraction, although it has become 
a blanket term to refer to any minor 
attracted person/attraction to a minor. 
Outside Japan, the term is used less often 
with this meaning, and is used to refer to 
a genre of manga and anime wherein mostly 
preadolescent or early adolescent female 
characters are depicted in a suggestive or 
erotic manner.

daij　gg5 jawiki
Daij and jawiki say "lolita complex" is wasei. Enwiki has 
no article on "lolita complex", only on "lolicon" 
(interestingly, that page does not show up in Google 
searches)

I don't think ロリ and ロリコン should be the same entry.

Adding 剝 to entries with is harmless, but not a high priority. 剝 came into JIS in 2000, not 1983. If you look at http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=剝 you'll see its JSource is "J3A", i.e. JIS X 0213:2004 level-3 addendum from JIS X 0213:2000 level-3.
Recently the JSC decided that 剝 was the genuine glyph, but the code-point for 剥 is the one that's in all the text up to that point. I wish the JSC hadn't done all those glyph swaps as it's going to mean a lot of pain in text canonicalization in future years.

The official 常用漢字 document has 剝 in the main table.
The entry refers to a footnote, that says that 剥 is a permissible variant.
I agree we could add the 剝 form to all JMdict entries with 剥.
There are 75 of them, and it seems 10 already has the 剝 form,
so it should not really be that much work.
I don't think we need a script.

剥離	15438
はく離	1546
https://kotobank.jp/word/剥離・剝離-357716

About 剝: After reading a bit on Chiebukuro, it seems that 剝 was only added to JIS in 1983. 剥 was only used as a 俗字. So the correct character is 剝. Could be useful to run a script and add 剝 automatically to all entries that contain 剥.

anyone can make up ateji for anything.  it's like documenting intentional puns or misspellings in an english-english dictionary.  there needs to be good justification for including an ateji as a kanji headword, esp. if it is the only one.  (such justification being "it appears as the headword in a kokugo dictionary", etc.)

this should be a note at best.

so i would dump it as well, and i think that makes three of us who are at least iffy about this.

How common is this? I'm also uncomfortable with having obscure, non-standard ateji in the kanji field.

You need to ask Anon who proposed it that way last month.
In general I'm a bit iffy about recording odd-ball ateji, but this is hardly a key part of the lexicon. I'll draft that in and see if the others like it.
