On Twitter there are many accounts that are called “social projects”, where their popularity lies not precisely in the things they publish, but in the reactions they generate among Internet users. One of them is “Earth Updates“, where, as if it were a video gamethey announce “updates for earth” and measure the reactions of the people who follow the account.
Curiously, one of his most recent publications is also one of the most popular in his entire career: “THE LOLICONES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED“. With more than 1.2 million interactions, it was immediately a trending update on Twitter and, without a doubt, has the most reactions in the account’s history.
“Lolicon” is a term that comes from Japanese and is used to refer to a genre of manga, anime or visual culture that presents underage female characters in situations with sexual or suggestive connotations. This term is a contraction of “Lolita Complex” and is associated with sexual attraction or interest in fictional characters representing very young girls.
It is important to note that lolicon involves fictional representations and not real people. However, this genre has been the subject of controversy and criticism due to concerns about the sexualization of underage characters, even in fictional contexts. Opinions on lolicon can vary significantly, and discussion about its ethical and legal implications continues in different communities.
But the most important thing is to check the reactions of Internet users:
- «A bad update of the world, to be honest».
- «I don’t know what you mean, but it definitely sounds like something positive.».
- «Lolis are not always girls. Lolis are a fictional body type of women who look like children, but are mature. Plus, for anyone scared of this kind of thing, they’re practically everywhere now.».
- «In Japanese popular culture, lolicon is a genre of fictional literature in which girls appear in sexual situations.».
- «The true definition of lolicon is a body type in Japanese culture, specifically in literature. It is not to represent minors, as many people claim, and it has nothing to do with anything sexual or romantic. People have simply generated a complex against it.».
- «Gosh, this video game “Earth” has been having the best updates, keep up the good work developers».
- «Shotacon is a subgenre of lolicon, so they disappeared too».
- «I am 18 years old and I am only 1.60 meters tall. I am below the “height of consent”, because that is how things work now, am I a minor according to you?».
- «This is the second time they’ve released an update that doesn’t work, look, the lolis are still here!».
- «This is not the first time they have published this. It was a failed update and will remain so today and tomorrow. Lolicon is still legal in the United States and there is nothing they can do about it».
- «I know a lolicon who saw real CP and was traumatized, it goes without saying, but obviously he stopped being a lolicon».
- «Remember guys, this update does not remove the material, only the offending ones».
- «I was about to start reading the reactions until I saw the patient who was offended by this publication, how disgusting».
- «Yes, I like lolicon. They’re cute and cuddly, but it’s not something you’re prepared to discuss.».
- «Genshin Impact fandom unexpectedly became 99.9 percent reduced».
