The way to get around all of this nonsense is just to acknowledge that loli and lolicon means something specific in places like this. Words change meaning over time and cultures. Even if lolicon means pedophile in Japan, that doesn't mean it does here. Frankly, in places like this, nobody but anti-loli posters use it as a synonym for 3D pedophiles. People who like lolis literally never use it to mean pedophile. Since the people who like the thing use the word in a specific way, I see no reason to say it must mean something they don't intend.
A great example of this is the term bitch. A word that comes from the English language, but is used in a completely different way in Japanese. Nobody has any problems or issues with it. LITERALLY just screenshot this and use this argument to shut this kind of shit down and post cunny. That's all it takes.
