Lolicon is short for Lolita Complex.
Alot of it is quite sexually suggestive, though I wouldn't go so far as to say that anyone that's into it is an outright pedophile.
Anime such as Lucky Star are pretty blatant in the fact that the creators knew the whole Lolicon style would attract people, and some aspects really are sexually suggestive in it, and please no one tell me they're all 17 or something, it doesn't change the fact they all look like 8 year olds.
Quote:
| Lolicon (ロリコン, Lolicon?), also romanized as rorikon, is a slang portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex".[1][2] In Japan, the term describes an attraction to young girls,[3] or an individual with such an attraction.[4][5] Outside Japan, the term is less common and most often refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are depicted in an erotic manner. The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book, Lolita, in which a middle-aged man becomes sexually obsessed with a 12-year-old girl.[6] The equivalent term for attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young boys is shotacon.
