there was an update from the admins of lemmy.nsfw where language barriers got in the way and the wrong impression was made, which was quickly addressed by the instance’s other admin as well as edited by its’ original author.
this got people in this instance concerned until the edit was made, however in two threads about it on kbin social the anime PFPs came out to play and the head admin of dataterm was obligated to comment as well
the funniest part is, it really demonstrates the truth of stereotypes about people with anime loli PFPs. at least a couple of the commenters in those threads are going to end up on watchlists.
My favourite explanation of this book comes from Cracked.com:
Nabokov himself even hated the character, as evidenced by the fact that he wrote him as a goddamn pedophile.
And he wasn’t sure if he at all was going to publish it. I believe it was his wife who convinced him. Unfortunately people didn’t/don’t understand the point with the book, ie this is a bad thing to do.
