Pretty well developed breasts, so I'd say not loli.

Loli and shota are gender-based tags. Loli refers to a teen female who looks like a child while shota refers to such males.

Do you even read what you type before posting? Honest question here.

Yes. Lolis are for teen human females (say 19 years old) who look a little younger than they are (say 11 years old) and normally have a flat chest (take Shana for example). But this is not the case of shota, where teen males look a little younger (say 12) for their age (say 18), and look more innocent (take Kagamine Len for example).

You could just say you don't know what you're talking about, that would save everyone's time.

Hansen, do you even understand the purpose of this thread? Hint: It isn't "post the definition of loli and shota". Additionally, the definition you give is at odds with Danbooru's policy: any character that appears preadolescent in a sexual situation is either loli or shota. Their canonical age (and how innocent they look) has nothing to do with it.

Hansen's definition is also at odds with the etymology of the terms.

"Loli" (short for "lolicon" = "lolita complex") comes from "Lolita" as in Nabokov's novel about a relationship involving a man and a 12-year-old girl (not 19-year-old). Shota is short for ("shotacon" = "Shoutarou complex") and named for a 10-year-old boy in the manga "Tetsujin 28-gou" (not an 18-year-old).

Interestingly both "Lolita" and "Tetsujin 28-gou" were written at about the same time in 1955-1956.
