The word Zhengtai originated in Japan (ショタ). It is a word with a similar meaning to Loli. It is used to describe young and lovely boys and is often used to address male pupils.

The word "Zhengtai" was originally quoted from the name of the protagonist "Jintian Masataro" in the comic book "Iron Man 28". Its image is a little boy in a suit and shorts, and the comic book author is Yokoyama Mitsuteru.

Word meaning

In a broad sense, it is recognized as "the trait of being too positive", that is, a boy who is young, has no beard and is very cute and cute. In a narrow sense, "Zhengtai" refers to the cartoon image. In the past, strictly speaking, not only western boys can't be called Zhengtai, but even real people can't be called "Zhengtai". But now the concepts of Zhengtai and Zhengtaikong have been widely used and globalized, and there is no obvious requirement for countries and races, whether animation or not.

As for those who have a tendency to like this kind of little boys, they can be said to have a "positive complex", that is, a ShotaComplex. Chinese mainland simplified it as a shotacon, which is used in real behavior to love them and does not involve feelings. Adults who are particularly fond of and concerned about boys are sometimes referred to as "being too strict". Zhengtai is written as "shota" in English and "Zhengtai (ショタ)/(しょた)" in Japanese.
