I am really confused as to why people are thinking that "loli" is refering to some type of child porn or the sexual exploitation of young children.
Loli, if I am correct, refers to "lolita", and lolita is the style and feeling of being young again. Cute dresses with lots of lace and frills that you could wear to a tea party with your teddy bears.
I am a HUGE fan of the lolita style. My understanding of it, thus far, has been that it is about modesty and cuteness, not sex. There are different lolita styles, gothic lolita being one that might incorporate a more grown-up feel to the whole style, but not enough to make it obscene.
I hope that those who are not familiar with this will do some Wiki or Google to learn a little more before they write a comment stating that they don't want porn in *color-me-club.
The "porn" edition of lolita is called "lolicon" and it is quite offensive to those who are sensitive to that kind of thing.
WHAT?!?! And risk having the Color Me Club page being obliterated from dA? Has anybody forgotten what happened to 14-bis? He was allowed to return under the compromise not to post stuff like that anymore.
It's like asking if Kodomo no Jikan fanart should be allowed on DA since it IS a loli anime itself. But I've seen so many fanart from that anime on here so I honestly don't see why loli art shouldn't be allowed...I guess as long as it has warnings on the previews or something I guess. And as long as they're not too 'hentai-ish'. I wouldn't have any problem with it.
Vest, you might have opened a can of worms with this one. <.<
If you mean Lolita (Also known as Sweet Lolita or Gothic Lolita, depending on colors and details), which helped to spawn the alternate/DIY fashion trend, then sure. I don't see anything wrong with Lolita-style.

Lolicon however, will earn my ire.
