lolita, its about cute 8 year old 2d waifus, you wouldn't understand haha
>not just saying its about a pedophile
overly modest cucks are hilarious
>>7731332
Its not about modesty, its about the other person's reaction.
"A crime novel."
>>7731332

>>7731337
Reactions are the best part.
>be me
>be in freshman lit seminar
>instructor has us go around and introduce ourselves to the class, and give some other information including your favorite book
>going around the room, everyone gives a normal albeit sometimes pleb-tier response
>get to the fat autist looking kid wearing a video game graphic tee and cargo shorts
>"My favorite novel is Lolita by Nabokow"
>I kek heartily internally
>the girls in the class stare at him loathingly
he was the worst in seminar too, he would always spout out the worst fucking comments and analysis
I bet he posts here too.
>>7731323
You've never heard of Lolita? Pleb.
>>7731372
I'm going to college next year
if such a scenario arose and I said infinite jest would people laugh at me
>>7731372
Why would you loathe someone for enjoying a good book?
>>7731389
for most people Lolita is just "that pedophile book" and they know nothing else
>>7731388
No, in the real world, lots of people like IJ, especially college age literature students. Only the memers on 4chan hate on DFW.
>>7731397
But surely if you're taking lit you'd have read it?
Right?
>>7731363
I hate this shit right here, even if you're memeing. Children aren't a sex or gender, there are people out there that actually buy into this garbage.
>>7731372
That guy sounds pretty cool actually, you're probably the bigger faggot
>>7731483
This desu.
He wears what he likes, and he isn't afraid to state his favorite book is about a pedophile.
A true alpha male.
>>7731506
I know you're meeemin' but the fact that there are people who think the book is sympathetic to pedos is hilarious. Humbert is a monster.
>>7731408
It's the future you chose.
>>7731323
>it's about a day in the life of a character
it's not that hard, guys.
>>7731323
Why would anyone ever talk to me in public?
>>7731608
Because they're attracted to you ;^)
is this an american thing? we read lolita in 8th grade what's the fucking deal
>>7731631
Few people here have read it so they think its actually pedo porn.
>>7731621
Yeah, no. I could bust an Issue of Juggs out in the middle of class and no one would ever notice I'm so unremarkable.
>>7731634
read the paragraph before the end of part one and tell me its not pedo porn. type it here for everyone to see.

God, the amount of sheer bitching from the illiterate uncultured women in my AP lit class baffles me. They interpret fucking everything as misogyny and rape. I remember we where reading a poem together, I forget the name, about a little black girl that was clearly expressing beauty of African American people and they interpreted it as a white man angry at lusting over a black girl and wanting to rape her, and the author was fucking black. They sit their and chat about Doctor who and Harry Potter, and took every chance possible to defend Edna from Kate Chopin's The Awakening. Grant it, my lit teacher is also female and I respect her because she is very good at what she does, but even she gets on my nerves for mentioning misogyny every chance she gets. Final year in highschool, is it like this in college too or am I going to have to live loathing my own sex forever fampai?
>>7731685
If you live in North America college is even worse.
>>7731631
Funny thing is I actually suggested to a teacher once that we read Lollita. It really caught him off guard and took him awhile to go "haha no, Nabokav is great but no". It was actually quite humorous, but Americans are pansies, the soccer moms would go ape shit. We didn't even get to read lord of the flies.

I'm in Canada which is Sweden-tier at the moment.
Its fucking bad.
Its better in the States from what I've heard, but not by much.
Either don't bother or just grit your teeth through the shitty courses so you can enjoy the good ones.
>>7731696
i graduated last spring from a small school in the northeast and this was not my experience at all. one of the most intelligent and reasonable professors i had was a self-described feminist. she had nuanced views and was always willing to respectfully engage with opposing viewpoints. the student body was definitely worse than the faculty in that regard, but even that was relegated to a handful of loud voices, and even they weren't extreme as the boogeymen you often see posted about on 4chan.
>>7732156
It really does depend on the professor. I only had two professors who were tumblr-tier the others were a more relaxed about it. My Renascence lit professor was a Christian who kept quoting CS Lewis.CS Lewis is a shit apologist btw
Thoughts?
>>7732216
This accurately reflects my experience as well. My University had a couple of shitty feminist professors that the tumblrites congregated around, but the rest of the department were pretty much badasses and would call out the loudmouths when they memed too hard with their SJW bullshit. Just do your research and register for classes with the good professors, ask upperclassmen who you respect for recommendations, and if you get stuck with a shitty professor for some terrible required class, just go with the program and tell them what they want to hear so you can get your A, and do the real work with the real professors who actually give a shit about education.

Is it really pornographic enough for that banana to be in your pocket?
>>7731363
It's called a pedophile because it's listed as a medically diagnose paraphilia you dipshit. Same as it's necrophilia, not necrosexuality.
Dead people aren't a sex, nor are children. Nor is a phone, or being whipped, or any other fucked up fetish you might have.
I don't even have anything against people who're purely pedophiles, they can't help that, but holy shit this meme is fucking dumb.

Using 'cuck' as an insult instead of its actual definition betrays your middle-class White American fears of cuckoldry being the highest level of shame. you should watch less porn, it's conditioned you to believe that the worst thing that can possibly happen to you is being cuckolded.
Does anyone have the copypasta about the checkout lady at Barnes & Noble who faints when the guy comes to the counter with Lolita and Mein Kampf?
>>7737476
You've done a stellar job of proving my point there, mate.
>>7737557
>Having your woman betray and make a fool of you
>Not one of the worst things that can happen
You are aware it used to be socially acceptable to murder a woman for doing this to you, correct?
This isn't a "Middle-class White American" thing, cuckoldry has pissed men of every culture off since the beginning of time.
this.
oh god. this!
>>7733699
Did you read the post?
He said that he was annoyed when a bunch of girls brought up misogyny even when there wasn't any misogyny in the reading.
I went to a catholic school and I had the exact same fucking problem, except replace misogyny with biblical/Christ references. And I'm not kidding they thought every fucking thing in every book ever was a biblical allegory, even when it made absolutely no sense.
>>7737561
You are really worried about this aren't you? Why do you care so much, just grow up.
>>7731388
yes everyone knows name dropping infinite jest is a try hard move. that shit might fly online but buddy don't try it out there they'll eat you alive

The class fucking sucks most of the time. It's mostly girls and they essentially gossip about whatever we're reading. We're reading Kindred by Octavia Butler right now and I'm not even going to bother reading it. From what I've heard during gossip hour, it's shitty historical sci-fi.
I'm just sticking it out and waiting for House of Leaves to start up soon.
>>7740281
I set you up for it and everything. You're a fucking disappointment, anon.
>>7740286

>>7740272
>House of Leaves
It's one of those things that almost no-one can agree on. My guess is that a lot of college kids read it and are influenced by their professors into the "unreliable narrator" meme, but I thought it was pretty good.

I never understood these guys obsession with cuckoldry.
It's not like they'll ever be in position for that to happen
>>7731337
Most people are aware of Lolita and nobody had ever raised an eyebrows at me reading about it or talking about it. It's a classic.
>>7733699
Faggot or womyn detected. Consider suicide.
About halfway in, and so far I think Crime And Punishment is better.
That aside, any recommendations? I made a thread some time back about how I couldn't figure out for the life of me how people read books like these without getting bored, but I've grown to appreciate them. After this, I'm reading Ulysses, and I was thinking about War And Peace and Anna Karenina, but I wouldn't mind a change of pace.

you really should let these novels sink in there bud. you've listed like the 4 greatest novels in western cannon, maybe slow it down and try to understand why they are considered great, rather than devouring that shit like it's harry potter and getting 15% out of it.

It's a romance between a guy and a girl. Dude's 40ish.

That feel when the mother of a little girl that I love found my copy of Lolita. 'It's a classic. Everybody recommends it.' I said.
Yes, I'm a pedo, that little girl loves me, and her mother suspects nothing.
>>7742598
Did she get hit by a car yet?
>>7742603
Nope. Not yet.
>>7742483
I get ya. I do appreciate them, part of it is that reading and working out is a stress reliever right now and I'm just trying to keep my mind off what's going on in my life right now. I'll go back and review them.

I work at a jr high school in japan,.
At work now, reading this.
Unrelated to that irony, i feel nauseous at times reading this. I'm not morally against it nor does it really gross me out explicitly. I dont get it
>>7731323
I read this in a private religious high-school Sophomore year and no one bat an eye at me. Is this a meme or what

I'm reading historical fiction about Mohammad's marriage with an eight year-old. It's written by a feminist so you might like it.

I graduated with a degree in Humanities recently and at my school I didn't experience any of what the other anon's are describing. There were discussions about Gender and its role and Literature, but there was never a "ITS MISOGYNY" moments.
The only bad classes I had were actually history classes, since we had one Professor who taught Military History Class who was an extreme American Patriot and made a lot of discussions almost impossible.

Fearing cuckoldry is a clear sign of feelings of inadequacy. One, in that one is unable to meet a certain standard. That much is obvious, a fear that you aren't manly enough. But on a deeper level, you have failed to imagine any standard where you have worth outside of mainstream masculine values. It's a weakness of the character that rots, deep down, no matter how successful a man is, because a cuck has already failed to assert himself on the most foundational level. They have accepted, and allegorically cuckolded themselves with, an ideology where they see themselves at the bottom.
>>7747210
it's not.

>>7747319
Well my opinion is that people who practice S&M take some level of ownership of their insecurity as fetishes. It doesn't stop them from being emotionally affected by things like cuckoldry and S&M in general. But that can be a part of the thrill, right?
But anon's mention of fears of cuckoldry give no indication of ownership. What I was suggesting is that when a person feels no ownership of these fears, the person has put feelings of inadequacy upon themselves according to somebody else's standards. That to me is similar to the act of cuckoldry.
>>7737467
Or maybe it's trendy and you're a faggot

It's not "about" a pedophile. Pedophilia isn't a theme.

I'm reading Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, lil sis! Apparently he's the culmination of all the brilliant writers since before the Greeks themselves! I'm really excited, I've already read most of it, but it hasn't gotten good yet, but most people say that it isn't good until the third or fourth read, so I'm just read it until I like it. Hey, while you're here sis, can you... you know...?
