Kyoto Firefighters have just confirmed that 33 lives were lost in the arson attack on KyoAni. This has become the largest single mass murder incident in post-war Japan. Absolutely heartbreaking. This is the worst day ever for Japan's animation community.
Translating the Japanese usage of the word "lolicon" into English is normally relatively straightforward. In the context of most Japanese fiction, lolicon means "someone that like cute young girls." In Japanese fiction, lolicon usually does not have strong negative connotation.

Today is a very black day for us in the animation industry.
