Hm... I wouldn't call a person "lolita complex",
it's like telling a person "you are flu/pest/AIDS".
( i don't mean it's spelled wrong, it's just not nice, even if "lolicon" used as adj. )
Even to say "he/she has lolita complex" in public wouldn't be nice,
at least if you can't be sure that it's not just a fantasy for him/her
( and in real world he/she has an adult partner & is quite happy,
or wishes he/she would find one )
since a "complex" is a psychic abnormality,
so you are saying that he/she is has an abnormal psychic based
just on his/her fantasy
( and who has right to judge others in public? )
I know, there are brave guys & gals who call themself "lolicon"
and have no problem with it.
Anyway, if there would someone who called himself/herself
< insert here any labeling for gender/race/nationality/etc. that often is seen as offensive >
this still wouldn't make it "alright" to call just *everyone* by this labeling.
I like adult-looking anime characters as well as lolita-like characters,
but even if i would hate breasts one day ( i hope not ), i still would find it offensive,
if someone would say in public "he's lolicon" / "he has lolita complex" about me.
Also what do you mean by "young childs" ? :/
We aren't talking about real children, are we ?
And why can't i call some kind of anime/manga/doujinshi "lolicon"?
"Lolita complex" hentai manga is manga, that is likely to appeal
a person with lolicon complex.
A hypothetical person ^_^ so no one's feelings will be hurt,
if you buy a "lolicon manga", you aren't neccessary "lolicon"
( oops ^^" i mean you don't neccessary have some scary complex or alike ^^ )
Here is a Japanese shop that labels a hentai manga category "Lolita Complex"
