"Lolicon"

I suggest changing the word "lolicon" (describing a character) in the lead to "pedophile". I think "lolicon" is just an unnecessary euphemism here.--109.65.226.147 (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

That would imply there is some kind of real child molestation going on, rather than a virtual one. Please use the correct terms. 79.226.208.84 (talk) 13:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I had trouble understanding what the meaning of lolicon is here, I think I agree with 109.65.226.147 we should change it to pedophile as upon further investigation I see no difference between the two, and the later term is more commonly used. 2001:5B0:21FF:1CF0:0:0:0:37 (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I'd say there's a difference, but the argument is meaningless since I don't think either really fits here. Different or not, both terms refer only to a person's attractions or desires. There's no actual law against being attracted to kids so long as the person doesn't do anything about it or collect images related to it. The school would not have suspended a team because of someone's secret desires. The reason the team was suspended was because they had reason to believe the captain had acted on those desires, laying his hands on the team advisor's own grade-school daughter. The suspicion wasn't of pedophilia, it was of child molestation. That said, with the team suspended on account of such a thing, Subaru has to be extra careful and avoid any suggestion of risk if he wants the team back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.50.240 (talk) 09:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I have read up the background and it seems Subara's former basketball captain ran off with the principals daughter to engange in indecent acts with an underage girl. So yes, he did act on his urges.80.187.106.9 (talk) 18:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I object!

It's better to leave the word "lolicon". From my perspective, the word "pedophile" is to sharp and agressive. If someone would start reading the atricle, then that word will be the first thing that the eye could catch. And people would think, that this anime is about pedophilia, and nothing else! And afterwards, they would think bad about it!

And that is wrong! So it's better to leave the word lolicon in the plot. DayKey (talk) 09:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

We can't help what people might think. It's up to them to read the rest of the article to see that it's not about pedophilia (although truth be told, it kind of is). Lolicon is too much of a niche word that only a select number of people would understand what it means at first glance unless they've encountered it before. WP:TECHNICAL should be taken into account, hence why it's piplinked as [[Lolicon|pedophile]].--十八 10:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Furthermore, It's supposed Subaru studies "preparatory school", that in Japan is from 15 to 18 years old... Even It could be that he was 15 when he flirted with the 12-years-old girl... I mean, he is not a "old pedophile man watching dirty pics on his computer", what is that most of people think when in the news says that the Police has catch one of them. No, I think the term "lolicon", which is not the same, could describe the situation quite good. Any, the best we can do is look for a good reliable reference for this.

This whole discussion is utterly absurd. Regardless of the differences in meanings or perceptions, the club president's scandal (and I would imagine expulsion/arrest) was not for pedophilia or a lolita complex. Both terms merely mean that one has developed a deviant desire for little girls, or that one wants to molest or rape children. Desire and imagination are not crimes, are not outwardly visible, and would not raise this much of a scandal, no matter how much of a pervert he was. The reason he ended up in a scandal is because he acted on those urges and tried to run away with or otherwise take the club advisor's grade-school daughter and rape/molest her. Rather than saying he was suspected of being a pedophile or lolicon, the statement should reflect the actual action and state he's suspected of (successful or attempted) kidnapping, chlid molestation, child sexual abuse or sexual assault on a child. A simple statement of the suspected crime should be placed in the opening, and the specifics of the suspected act should be in the plot summary. This way would clear the confusion completely, as he wouldn't be under fire for being a lolicon OR a pedophile, but for being a child molester and/or rapist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.50.240 (talk) 10:18, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't believe that's any actual evidence he molested or raped anyone. Any "reading between the lines" analysis would be original research.--十八 11:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

It's hardly "original research". It's clearly stated in the series that he was accused of sexual crimes against the club advisor's grade-school daughter. It's entirely irrelevant whether there's any evidence in the story that he actually did kidnap/rape/molest anyone, because the sistuation that started the story was caused by a suspicion or accusation. That's why I said the opening and summary should state the suspected act. The scandal wasn't caused because the captain was accused of looking at the grade-schooler wrong or wanting to do something to her, it was caused by accusations that the captain had really tried to kidnap or molest the child. That's why neither pedophile nor lolicon is appropriate here, because he was suspected of actual sexual crimes, not a deviant desire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.50.240 (talk) 09:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Group of 10

Ranging from 4 to 13 (nobody with 1 or 2 or 3 on Jersey I think) there are ten members... I know a group of 8 is an octet, a group of 9 is a nonet, but I am not sure what to call a group of 10. It may be a basis for a category if discovered. --184.146.6.191 (talk) 17:05, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
