This is bizarrely off-topic.
That is not how "loli" is pronounced--it's short for "Lolita", with a long "O" sound.
1: How is talking about weird quirks of English vocabulary that differ regionally and among different groups of people... off topic?
2: Many people online pronounce 'loli' with all kinds of different pronounciations of the 'o'... at least in part because there is much regional variation in the US as to how all vowels are pronounced in just all words.
Some pronounce it with the same sound as 'low', the long o. Other pronounce it as 'lawl', others pronounce it as 'lahl', the way uh... Data's sort of android adopted daughter's name is pronounced in TNG.
I have heard Brits, Aussies and Kiwis pronounce 'loli' with all kinds of vowel sound variations as well.
Pronouncing it the same as in 'lolipop' is a very common pronounciation, amongst many different regional English dialects.
