    For reference, these “woke changes” include translating a character asking an adult character whether that character is attracted to underage girls as “are you a pedophile?”.

    Here, ‘pedophile’ is the translation of the Japanese word “ロリコン”, which is a shortened transliteration of “Lolita complex”, referring to the literary work Lolita about a pedophile attracted to underage girls and the Freudian term for a sexual obsession. (compare Oedipus complex).
