      was just thinking, if every banned booked had some important meaning to it then what’s lolita’s shtick.

      like if you really wanted to hide something profound for whatever reason, than best place is in a plain sight so off putting the majority of people cant even bring them selves to bother finding a copy.

      all the other banned books have some clear ulterior motive being banned

        It has a schtick, it’s whole thing is normalize grooming and abuse. The idea that men with power can have what they need.

        I mean it’s not universally banned, it’s just plain harmful literature, just like anything conservatives say or tweet.

          huh. like i said, never read it. all the other banned books I’v read have just been some manner of “hey bro, ever thought you deserved fair days pay for fair days work just like everyone else? ever thought about whose telling you to hate your neighbor?”

          didnt know if lolita had some “secret” meaning behind it too
