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.
ITT: people who don’t know that “loli” derives from the Nabokov novel “Lolita”, about a man who kidnaps and sexually abuses a 12 year old.
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.
does he kidnap her or is he just someone who is paying board to live in their spare room? i’v seen the 1962 movie but haven’t read the book
As I understand it he starts out just living with them but then kidnaps the girl after the mother dies
He is a tenant, than marries the mother, than it is implied he kills her, now has legal custody over the girl, and takes her on a road trip.
At least, that is my memory of how it played out.
He boards at her house, marries her mother to get closer to her, and after her mother dies he kidnaps her, yes
