    Probably worth making a distinction between "moe", the hypercute smol animu girls, and loli which usually has a sexual connotation, coming explicitly from "Lolita"

      In Japan Lolita is also the name of a fashion style ( very frilly dresses) so I think loli came from that and not the book. In English though it's probably referring to different things

      Like in the anime Oshi No Ko there is one girl who is a bit taller than her senior at school, who she teasingly refers to as Loli-senpai
