Tea Berry-Blue: WHAT I missed this one — Subium • Bluesky web client

Sorry wouldn’t normally put her on the timeline but this might be the most insane thing j k rowlings ever written

Nah… still think reading Lolita and understanding it as a tragic love story beats everything lol

WHAT I missed this one

bsky.app/profile/kase...

JK Rowling, Terf author famous for writing about underage children, thinks LOLITA is a "Tragic love story" Not only is she a hateful bitch, she's a STUPID, hateful bitch.

My jaw dropped. If Lolita reads like a love story, there's something wrong with you. At best, you lack reading comprehension.

Usually I see people thinking that Nabokov was presenting Humbert Humbert as a sympathetic protagonist and the whole thing as a defense of pedophilia, and therefore Nabokov was an awful person who wanted to assault little girls. This is… so much worse.

Yeah, thinking books condone the bad actions of characters is a standard bad reading comprehension thing. Thinking those bad actions are ROMANTIC is creepy as hell.

Its been a very long time since i read it but I def read it as a pedophile self rationalizing

I've never read it, just a few passages, but even those are pretty clear.

It is absolutely that, and if you want an in-depth exploration of it, Jamie Loftus did an incredible job with Lolita Podcast

YES I’ve seen people calling this book to be removed from libraries etc etc never the opposite

Next she'll be praising the great poet John Shade and talking about how lovely Zembla is this time of year.

Reading comprehension only if the reader for some reason did not understand the age gap… Beyond this point you have some questionable morals…
