I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss in this.
Now of course, most of us would know what a loli is and someone who is pettanko.
BUT it seems like there's a lot of debate on what a loli is, some say by age, some say by appearance or both... whatever. That's not the point. xP
The point is, have you seen certain hentais of women that should've been labeled as "Loli" rather than "Pettanko"? For example the series "A sister for each season" (which is amazing!) the elder sister is the one that looks rather young and petite for her age. So the fact that she's short AND young looking, wouldn't that qualify to be a "Loli"?
Or how about the president of the Futa Club, the book that just got released? Short? check. Young looking? check. In some other hentai sites they'd consider her as a "loli" rather than just "pettanko" like in here.
Of course there are good examples of someone being flat without being young looking/loli (Take examples of many GY's characters).
But what it really boils down to is:
How is it determined when a character is a loli or just pettanko?
Clearly there are Legal Loli hentais out there ("Let Me In" as a good example) so it's CLEARLY not by age. So is it a specific type of look that determines it? if so, what would that be? When does the "line" between "Loli" and "Pettanko" meet?
In my opinion, I'm a pretty simple person to determine really. If it looks young and is short, it's a loli. If it's JUST flat, then it's pettanko. (In other words, I personally have a disagreement on certain characters being classified as "pettanko" instead of "loli".)
What do you guys think? Lemme know please! (I might consider doing a video on this topic as well)
