Can you prove this?

Like I get opinions and all but, calling someone a pedophile is a serious accusation that people seem to like to throw around in idle speculation.

It's common knowledge that her raped the little girl who lived next to him. He based Alice in Wonderland on his repeated victim.

... you don't think randomly labeling people as pedophiles when you don't even know what you're talking about is a dick move?

1. Do you know he's not a peadophile?

2. He can't see this

3. He's dead, who cares?

Re: Controversial Opinions

Ah yes, accuse dead people of pedophilia because they can't react/argue back.

Re: Controversial Opinions

da, but seriously, why does it matter? Oh no, some random person said a dead guy was a pedophile on an obscure fandom community on a mostly-dead blogging platform! Surely everyone in his entire estate is devastated

"obscure fandom community"

We're not all that big now, but we used to be the second largest livejournal community.

You don't go around calling people pedophiles just because they MIGHT be pedophiles. Maybe this is why people are being dicks (translation: pointing out your error) to you.

You were the dick, actually.

DA--and by "common knowledge" you mean "scurrilous rumor based on zero evidence." Which is pretty dickish even toward a dead guy.

Also, the comment as applied to Carroll is *completely without any evidential foundation*, much like a lot of things that people around here call "common knowledge" - i.e. ignorant gossip.

You've already been corrected about who it was, but I believe even that's urban legend?

Re: Controversial Opinions

(Anonymous) 2015-11-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
a) Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland, not CS Lewis. CS Lewis was a totally different person.

b) It's not common knowledge at all for Lewis Carroll, historians believe that this rumor comes from dissonance about what kind of behavior around kids was acceptable for adults to show (and no, by "behavior" I don't mean molesting, I mean doing weird things like playing with them and talking to them as if you were a child yourself, which people assume would only happen as a deliberate ploy to molest a kid nowadays, but was just sort of weird and immature back then.)

Even if you're thinking of Lewis Carroll, no, it's not actually common knowledge. /eyeroll

Re: Controversial Opinions

Yeah, no.

I don't think there's any evidence of C. L. Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll) sexually assaulting Alice. I think he was interested in photography and she was a favourite photographic subject of his. Speaking as a onetime avid amateur photographer, I'm a touch insulted that people think this kind of thing.

Don't believe what you read in trashy "historical" novels. Dodgson was an odd duck, but it's not proven he was a rapist, and many people who've read the letters think it was unlikely. He did dote on her, yes.

Also, obviously, C. S. Lewis is an entirely different person. They weren't even contemporaries. And Lewis is of course an absurdly common name. I have an old friend named Chris Lewis; do you want to accuse him as well?
