This trope page have way too many examples of characters who are mid/late teenagers. Teenagers are not loli/shota guys; it doesn't matter what your personal definition is, look up the technical definition of loli and shota.

It doesn't matter, as long as they look young. We went over this ad nauseam in the rename thread; characters who are Older Than They Look count.
Calling someone a pedant is an automatic Insult Backfire. Real pedants will be flattered.
Maybe their should be separate categories like on certain tropes such as Tsundere and Stepford Smiler where there's mini moes that look like little kids and ones that ARE little kids then? :?

Who picked the new image? The Galaxy Angel II one fit better — Azumanga Daioh isn't a harem series.

It does not have to be harem series. And it was put there after Image Picking Thread, so people decided it is good enough.
Besides, who doesn't like cute little Chiyo-chan, the precocious genius loli? XD

ANOTHER TROPE BITES THE DUST!
Well I’m going to miss this Trope. It’s mostly that I only just got the time to reed it ):

It has been rebuilt as Token Mini-Moe. Perhaps we could farm from the trope's incarnation into this one?
An open mind and compassionate heart are among the most important qualities we can have.
Is it possible to bring back the Playing With page?

I don't see why anyone would object, so it only depends on whether you can get its text. Perhaps contacting some of the higher-ups will help?
Here's the history
for the Playing With page. You can probably reconstruct it from that. You will have to rewrite it a bit to fit the new gender-neutral definition.

Is it just me, or is this page just really fucking creepy? Maybe it's just because I'm one of those weirdoes who's turned off by pedophilia in general, but this page is creepy, and every time I see a link to it, I get creeped out.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Some serious Fridge Horror kicked in when I realized that the idea behind this trope is the fact that a little girl is essentially Ms. Fanservice.
Creepy to some? Maybe so. But it's still a trope and shall remain as such.
Leave your dignity at the door.
For some reason on this wiki paedophilia (in anime/hentai at least) is usually glossed over as being "cute".
Have no problems with it, its only creepy when they're some kind of romantic prospect for an adult or something. I neither hate nor care for lolis, in general, though some can be pretty hilariously adorable.
Let me guess: the Spear Counterpart would be the Token Shota if I'm not mistaken.
Ex: Honey from Ouran High School Host Club.
Is it weird if I feel like both of the demographics? ^///^ Sorry, I just had to let that out. >///<
Anyways, I like games like Phantom Brave and Ib where you can play as a guy that's there to protect the little girl, like the first one. :)
Of course, people like to joke or actually believe that Garry is a lolicon. XD Also, Another Marona has poor Ash ridiculed as a Lolicon and little Marona of all people teased him about it at the end. XD Sigh... I'm not sure what to make of Another Marona. :p I liked the original game though. ^^; NIS. :3
I um... also have a lot of teen friends somehow, and on Facebook at least, a lot of them send me the friend invites first, and I wouldn't know what their age is and stuff right from the start, you know? :O But we're really close, and we'd share each other's problems and give each other support. :)
A lot of them are immigrants from Gaia and Tinier Me too so I guess that's why. ^^; As for the female thing, I have no idea. :O I used to be that age when I first went there though. ^^;
It's funny, when I first started, I just saw making friends as some kind of tool, almost like another aspect of the site, and that we'd just share general interests and that we wouldn't get that close...
But then it turned out that talking to people online is one of the most important things for me. :O I'm not good at talking to people in real life because I'm really emotionally sensitive and I see the world very differently from most people. >_< (That's why my current profile pic is Byakuren. :p I don't really care if it's a female character either. XD It gets the symbolism across well enough. ^^;)
So um... I'm not sure what to say next. ^^; But I guess I'm just a really complex person. :p
