No, this is dumb. Loli doesn't have an age range. Loli, in context of anime, pertains to a certain body type/appearance. The 1000 yo dragon-loli is a loli, too, despite being 1000 years old.

And if we're talking about the age of the apparent body, loli goes up to ca. 12 yo, basically what this vampire loli looks like. If you go up in age, you usually have girls with bigger boobs, pronounced waiste lines and thick thighs, not loli at all.

Shinta, I just want to add (now that I can type on a keyboard instead of my smartphone ....) that I'm a super strong opponent of censorship. I don't want to ban any content. I even publically defend innocent aka non-offending pedophiles on Twitter, because I hate the irrational, unfair discriminaton and condemnation these people receive in the year 2019, where society claims to be progressive blabla. BUT: I just hate how widespread these (sexualized) loli depictions have become. And I feel uncomfortable when a girl with a pre-pubescent body (and EVERY non-weeb that I could show that scene would call it that) is shown naked AND making sexual avances. I remember when anime had loli that were infatuated with the hero, but that's it. No nude scenes, no actual sex.

On top of that, I just find it trashy and shallow. If you have a pedo-relationship in a show, do it in a serious way. Show why they love each other, show their thoughts, and DONT show nude scenes. Arifurete did it in the worst way. Hero stumbles over loli, loli instantly loves hero, now nude scenes. Sigh.

Conclusion:
Lolis in anime are okay. Just not with sexualized nude scenes and not in such number. This is not a case of "stop caring what other people think", no, it's me myself feeling uncomfortable. And your attempt to rid the pedo-label here was really weird. Fictional vs Real doesnt matter here. If the Pocco-anime had sexualized Pocco, it'd have been pedophile content, too. Fictional content still evokes real feelings. So let's call it what it is - and then we can talk about issues/benefits.
