GM_Steam: Offensive Name

[FlameGirl]

If im not mistaken a lolita is slang for underage porn star.

[Lackluster]

No. Lolita is a style of dress, popular in Japan. it involves dressing up in "little girl's clothing" but by itself has nothing to do with underage porn. Hentai perhaps... but lolita hentai is legal.

you cannot say "clam" on fiesta (which i never knew to be slang)... so why is "lolita" allowed?

Obviously because the Gms went overboard on the filter.

It doesn't matter. The word itself is still not offensive. It's not their problem if your mind goes directly to young underage porn.

[Yosei]

Lolita can be a lot of things =\

[+Tequila+]

Because its not offensive unless read into like you're doing besides shouldnt you be sending this information on Outspark forums? This is'nt really the place to complain about offensive names. You should: 1: ) Make a post on Outspark forums 2: ) Pm [Gm]Steam/Kalaan ingame and last but not least 3: ) Stop making the name into something its not. Lolita could mean any of the things people have listed above me for a GM to change it as it being *offensive* would be grossly unfair. I could see if it was some racially charged name or a sexual innuendo but its not.

Even a site that gives steps on how to dress in the modern japanese style of lolita notices the slang meaning of the word:

# Throw away any pre/misconceptions you may have! Gothic Lolita is not necessarily related to what you think of as "Goth". It is not a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel Lolita and followers of the style do not consider it to be a sexual style. Instead, adherents present themselves as young victorian girls and consider it necessary to look "cute," "beautiful," or "elegant" rather than "sexy."
