I like fucked up fiction as much as the next depressed western communist, but jfc I’ve never thought that a child sex scene would improve any novel. Mfer, what’s your standard here, goddamn Lolita?
I was waiting on someone smarter than me who’s actually read it to say this. From what many smarter than me people have told me Lolita is incredibly on the nose about its message and I don’t get how so many people miss that. I mean tbf its normal to be disgusted by the content of Lolita but like Nabokov is using that impulse intentionally?
I’m not sure if the pedos who use the term Lolita have actually read the book? Or they could be viewing themselves as “sticking it to the man” by “reclaiming” a term.

Lolita is actually amazing book? The sex scenes aren’t meant to be titillating they’re fucking horrifying.
