Tips

culture
Loanword from Japanese ロリ (rori), itself shortened from "Lolita" (after Nabokov's novel). In Chinese ACG (anime/comics/games) culture it generally describes a small, cute, young-looking female character - not necessarily sexualized. The Japanese fashion subculture "Lolita fashion" is also called 萝莉 or 洛丽塔.
register
Internet/subculture slang. Use carefully outside fan contexts - the term carries problematic connotations to some readers. Counterpart for boys: 正太.
