lolicon stands for lolita complex, in reference to a Russian Novel 'Lolita' where the 40 year old main character falls in love with a underage girl. In that case, when the main character was young, his first love and him often had dates, but his first love died early. And somehow Lolita reminded of her or something.
Lolicon merely implies pedophilia or pedophile, but you won't find this meaning in a dictionary on Japanese.
Loli means the girl in that case. So, if someone says they are a loli, they are either real pedophiles who doesn't know any Japanese. Or either you hit the jackpot in some people's (not me, I would never be interested in sexual relationship with a non-anime children. not legal, and not moral, there must be a reason why humanity came up with that conclusion, and I wish to respect our ancestor's decision in this case)views.
On the other hand, Shotacon or Shotaro Complex is derived from the name Shotaro of Tetsujin 28-go. If you don't know what this means, lulz to you.
