[Editor’s notes: This article contains descriptions of pedophilia and teen sexuality connected to the term “Lolita”. Please be advised that
a few months ago, i wrote this article on the lolita complex in the media and the music industry. however, before everyone jumps to tell me that lolita is not a love story!! (duh??) this article is an analysis of the lolita archetype in pop culture.
to quote myself, “No matter how it is packaged, the story Nabokov told is a sad one: a girl isolated and mistreated by her only caretaker. Lolita is powerless, her story belongs to her abuser. What we do with her story, however, belongs to us. “
