Anthony,
You may be pleased to hear that pedophiliac priests will shortly be finding life tougher even in Japan. --ED " Lolicon also romanised as rorikon, is a Japanese portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex". In Japan, the term describes an attraction to underage girls, or an individual with such an attraction. It is also commonly used when referring to lolicon manga or lolicon anime, a subset of manga </wiki/Manga> and anime </wiki/Anime> wherein childlike female characters are often depicted in an erotic manner. A number of anthology manga magazines have been published since the 1980s which focus exclusively on this subset. Outside Japan, the term is in less common usage and usually refers to the manga and anime. The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book Lolita, in which a middle-age man becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl, and is an outgrowth of the shôjo manga </wiki/Sh%C5%8Djo_manga> style of artwork. The equivalent term for attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young boys is shotacon </wiki/Shotacon> . Laws have been enacted in various countries, including in Japan, which regulate explicit content featuring children or child-like characters. Parent and citizens groups in Japan have organized to work toward stronger controls and stricter laws governing lolicon manga and other similar media. Critics say that the lolicon genre contributes to actual sexual abuse of children, while others say that there is no evidence for this claim,or that there is evidence to the contrary. A recent law passed in Tokyo on what material could be sold to minors takes effect in July 2011, and has directly affected the long-running Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) as multiple large and small publishers of manga and producers of anime have backed out of showing or sponsoring the fair."
