“If you had you would know that it does no such thing. It doesn’t even mention child sex.”

It doesn’t need to. How can you possibly read a story of a 12 year old involved with a man and think that is a good thing?

It doesn’t claim it’s a good thing.

Not all morality tales are from the positive perspective. You can have a good story about bad people which thus tells it’s not a good thing but tells you that in a good way.

Lolita isn’t about sex with kids being a good thing, it’s about it very much being a bad thing. That’s what makes it a good story.

It isn't supposed to be a good thing.
