They'll complain about underage, aka 16-17 anime characters too, then about just any "young looking character

It has been moving this way for a long time. Paying attention to various sites over the years where user-added tags are a critical aspect of how to search and find things has shown a very clear trend of the "loli" tag expanding in scope over time. It used to be just blatantly pre-pubescent girls. Like 12 and under. Now you are liable to see the tag on anything where one could potentially suspect a girl to be under 18.

Loli is absolutely what they want to be the first major domino to get their foot in the door to police anime. It's absolutely reasonable to think its disgusting but anyone letting them take an inch is a fool because there is zero way it stops there.
