I've heard of antis claiming Lolita is actually pedo porn because they take the unreliable narrator being a pedo at face value. Tells me they haven't read the damn book. Or know that the original author specifically requested printers/publishers NOT to put a picture of a little girl on the cover.

And the thing is that even in his unreliability, he manages to grasp a sliver of the reality of the situation. He knows that what he did was fucked up, and that he stole her childhood from her.

I wonder if part of the problem is the film adaptations. I haven't seen the Kubrick one, but I saw the one from the '90s with Jeremy Irons before I read the book, and it definitely paints a different picture. The acknowledgement of his wrongdoing is more muted, and he's portrayed as much less of an asshole than how he appears in the book.
