Anything -con in japanese is a complex and almost certainly up to no good. I just checked with my wife (native japanese) and, yeah, that's not necessarily wrong translation.
She carves out the exception for jokes with a younger partner within reason (her specific was example was a couple/few years younger in a piss-take (like someone might say "she's robbing the grave" but the counterpoint would be "no he's robbing the cradle!" In English banter)), but it's almost always not a good thing.
My personal take is that if it's specifically referencing the ~loli fashion or the piss-take version from my wife, that's probably ok. Anything else is getting into dangerous territory.
I'm a guy in his mid-40s originally from the US and not generally into manga or anime at all, my wife a late-30s japanese who is very into anime and manga.
Edit: wife searched in japanese. The -loli part in fashion comes from young people incorporating those old fashions (again, goth-loli in my example) not, as I expected, people incorporating school fashion into it. TIL. She went on to talk about how the -loli suffic in fashion was chosen. But it's a bit out-of-scope here.
Well now I'm here, time for you (and your wife) to loredump about Japan's youth culture and the fascination with obsolescent western fashions.
