Remove Category:Pedophilia from article
The use of Category:Pedophilia on this article considered offensive and defamatory as lolisho is not considered pedophilic, and I would like to see it removed from the article as such category is considered extremely charged in this context.
Disclaimer: Like most people I condemn pedophilia, and any claims to the contrary are considered highly defamatory and are therefore reportable to site administration. AbleistSL (talk) 14:08, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Do you always announce which categories you add or remove in an article's talk page? Volunteer editors do not typically ask for permission. Dimadick (talk) 17:03, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
I can't edit it because the page is protected, someone else will have to do it.Disregard my last post I was confused by a notice on the site, I will make the edit myself. AbleistSL (talk) 20:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Remove images
We should remove the revealing images on this page. Ykwue (talk) 20:34, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- This image has been discussing lots of time on wiki commons, the consensus there, only for reference, is not revealing. -Lemonaka 07:48, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
Credit Card Companies / Palpal
In recent months a recent major controversy regarding lolishota has been significant relevance regarding recent practices of "censorship" regarding the credit-card companies mastercard, visa, as well as online transaction companies in general such as paypal on sites such as pixiv and many hentai, anime and video-game platforms, should this not also be deserving of a mention in the article considering how impactful it was/still is? 209.227.175.102 (talk) 11:21, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- It doesn’t really seem that impactful to the genre as a whole. A brief mention would suffice. ShyGuyFalls (talk) 01:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
Removal request of recently added paragraph.
The recent addition of an entire paragraph in the "1990s-present" section related to Shadman seems utterly irrelevant and unrelated to the history of lolicon as a genre. One internet artist who did not influence the genre should not be mentioned at all, let alone in the history section of the article. I would like to request it be removed, if possible. TransMagicalGirl (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- Agreed that an entire paragraph on a Brazilian lolicon artist most known amongst the 4chan set shouldn't have a whole paragraph dedicated to himself in a 2 paragraph section covering from 1990 to now. However, the paragraph is well cited but is entirely overblown for the sources it actually cites. Definitely needs a lot of rewording for context and to not be such a prominent part of that section.

- Seconded. Shadman was a controversial artist known only in niche internet circles. His inclusion in this article is questionable. Maybe a brief mention at most; a paragraph isn't warranted. SIMSIMCITY (talk) 12:43, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Delete this paragraph under the "1990s–present" section.
The artist Shadman became known online in the 2010s for his lolicon depictions of video game and film characters, including those from The Incredibles, and of politicians such as Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein.[77] He announced that he would stop creating lolicon artwork in July 2019. Rolling Stone described him in 2024 as "controversial" due to his lolicon artwork; he had accrued more than 727 thousand followers on Twitter and more than 321 thousand YouTube subscribers by 2021.[78][79]
Although the paragraph is well cited, the recent addition of an entire paragraph in the "1990s-present" section related to Shadman seems utterly irrelevant and unrelated to the history of lolicon as a genre. SIMSIMCITY (talk) 12:53, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
Done. There might be something to say here, but this certainly went into unnecessary, excessive detail. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:05, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
