Ilina here, i am a mute and undersized but married female who is highly afraid of cameras and happens to be in need of a Text based play by post campaign that doesn't involve cameras
i deal with a lot of post apocalyptic, and would rather take a break from it, i need a group of players and a GM to play under. and i like playing petite cute female characters. i come from a background involving lots of murderhoboing, so it may take time for me to adjust
and if you desire, my husband can play on the same account with the same computer, being we have to share a desktop.

I'm sure others can suggest various fora, but I'll jump in here and suggest you check out RPOL (though you and your spouse will have to create separate accounts, even if using the same computer -- site rules don't permit the sharing of an account). Lots of games, using many systems (or no system at all), in lots of genres. It can take a while to find a game that (a) you enjoy and (b) doesn't die early out of the gate due to either player attrition of GM flakiness. But stick it out and you'll find something that lasts.

by loli. i mean the anime definition, rather than the lolita book. which refers to a small framed and cute female who can pass for a really young age, typically somewhere under 18. arguably, if you are a 26 year old woman who has a small frame that gets you mistaken for a 12 year old girl, you technically count as a loli. at the same time, a girl under 18 who looks the part counts too. but i normally use it in reference to young adult women with extremely youthful appearances.

Oh, right - well TBH my exposure to anime is limited precisely because of that . . . don't get me wrong there is anime I like and watch regularly (eg: Ghost in a Shell) but if it drifts into those sort of characters then I basically stop watching it because I find such characterizations to be fairly uninteresting. Give me the spectacle of Akira with it's dystopia of crazy powers, over the top tech and corporate machinations. I label it the Anakin Skywalker Effect because one of the reason everyone hates Anakin in Star Wars episode I is because he's a superpowered brat of a kid with creepy oedipal undertones due to George Lucas's hamfisted writing of Anakin's relationship with Padme as him seeking in her a substitute mother/older sister figure (because we all 'know' that Padme is going to be the mother of Luke and Leia - dramatic convention makes it so) - Anakin's later obsession with her in ep II, while fixating on the absence of his mother, making it more so.

First off, consider yourself accepted.... to the community. Sadly I no longer play in any PbP or PbEM games. Though I maybe be able to find one of my old ones and pass it along.

I've asked around my Otaku friends, and not one has proffered any example of "loli" that is not the sexualised portrayal of underage children of either sex. Now, I'm relaxed if you want to present as a "young adult woman with extremely youthful appearance", whatever age you are or however many x chromosomes you have. Whatever rocks your boat. But I would argue that using the word "loli" feels like a challenge if seeking "acceptance" among 40-odd year-old men, many of whom have actual kids.

Yeah...not to say the Urban Dictionary is always right but...
loli 1) short for lolicon 2) hentai that contains underage females in sexual situations. 3) an underage child, often depicted in sexual poses in hentai movies/images. 2) "I saw some loli the other day, I swear to god that girl had to be no older than five!"
3) Stacy was too young for Brad, but thats ok because he likes lolis.
Yikes.

i don't mean i am underage nor a creep. i mean i am a small and cute young adult female with a very youthful appearance. i can't even enter a PG13 movie without my fiancee to accompany me.

With all due respect, what you mean by the term is kinda irrelevant. If I call the local guy who has a deep and unquestioned platonic love for children a pedophile, I'm saying something COMPLETELY different...
Words have meaning, and it's important to respect that.

Not to come across as dogpiling on you, but... yeah. Now, I'm kind of old-school anime - been watching since Astro Boy first was a thing - and "loli" kind of has an established meaning. If you go around introducing yourself as such, people might get... ideas.
