When discussing the merits of art, be it music, movies, literature or painting, anyone who tells you your opinion is ‘objectively wrong’ either doesn’t know what ‘objectively’ means or is an arrogant arsehole.

I don’t think you’re a perv, I don’t think you’re a bad person. I just don’t think you have an analysis that extends beyond the one you were given in English Lit; if you did you wouldn’t like Lolita :o

Guess you’re not an “arrogant arsehole” just as long as you don’t use the word “objectively”, huh?

I haven’t read Lolita either, but when someone who substitutes crude feminist ideology for artistic taste says it’s bad I think it must be pretty good…
