While examples of lolicon and or hentai (or moving lolicon) very rarely<br />

portray the Gothloli, they do exist and therefore she is nonetheless attached<br />

by association due to the fact that she is both a child and <strong>Lolita</strong> (Figs 87 &<br />

88). *<br />

Figure 84: Lolicon<br />

* I have periodically trawled through online lolicon and hentai imagery to ascertain how much<br />

material appropriates the Gothloli identity. This is a dangerous task that should be carried out with<br />

care as these types of images are often attached to viruses and can cause the computer to freeze,<br />

crash or worse. However, I feel confident that I can make this statement in regard to the internet,<br />

having attempted this type of research numerous times. As far as what is available in Japan, in other<br />

formats such as printed material and moving-image media, I cannot say. I imagine though that the<br />

relative scarcity of online examples would reflect the same ratio elsewhere.<br />
