    Yeah, this. It’s an amazingly well-written novel… seriously, one of the greats. But I would absolutely never describe it as a love story. That definitely requires some amount of reciprocation and not just grooming and rape.

      Whaaaaat!? Grooming? But Humbert isn’t trans? This is just normal behavior, it only becomes wrong when you are already a persecuted minority.
