In true weeb fashion, the perfect word to describe Selly in this case is 悪趣味 (あくしゅみ), intentionally choosing this name in an adult game with underage characters to prod players funny.Yeah this is it for me, I think. Selebus knew what he was doing choosing that name
Alas, as some have brought up, Shota itself is a common, harmless name that has no ill meaning. Just the name itself alone does not automatically carry what we or Selly might be insinuating until Selly specifically incorporates something into his story. I.e., it doesn't mean that Shota would be a tasty target of a known shotacon (whose extent is revealed only in a non canon spinoff), or Shota's mom is secretly a shotacon, or Shota would grow up to become a shotacon himself had he got the chance to grow up.
None of that is true until Selly hard implements any part of it into the game. Before that happens, we are just being prodded funny, and it works exceptionally well on people who know some but not enough about Japanese naming, or people who know the term shotacon prior to knowing its origin, legitimate name Shota and its variants.
