Daily reminder that all great literary figures were attracted to prepubescent girls, or at least had some kind of a perverted fetish.
Lewis Carroll was a child-pornographer who took numerous pictures of children, often time bare-naked. He also wrote stories for children in order to attract them to him and express his feelings. Edgar Allan Poe married his first cousin when she was only 13 years old. God, the author of the most influential piece of literature, the Bible, chose Mary, who was 13 or 14 years old at the time, to conceive his son, Jesus Christ. Mohammed, the author of the Quran, married Aisha when she was 6 and copulated with her when she was 9 years of age. Dante Alighieri was attracted to the underaged Beatrice Portinari, just like Francesco Petrarch was attracted to the underaged Laura De Noves. And of course, Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote the infamous Lolita as a way to release his repressed sexual urges.
Really makes you think. I can go on and on.

13 or 14 was normal age for marriage back then. It'd be dumb to apply today's moral values to judge the past.
Elijah Powell
then why do people bitch and moan about the holocaust? its in the past.
Andrew Adams
I kek'd at that part desu
Joshua Lopez
You think most people considered it moral?
Julian Nelson
are you implying that morality is relative?
Adrian Lee
of course it is.
Daniel Garcia
Well, some morals change and some don't. Straight murder is always going to be immoral. But age of consent? That's a cultural idea. 18 years old isn't biological adulthood; it's judicial.
Xavier Anderson
Fuck yes. Relative across people and situations.
Even our understanding of what morality IS is debatable.
Mason Barnes
are you implying it isn't? if so you might be one of the first people i've ever seen actually go full retard
Carson Mitchell
tldr op needs a justification for jerking off to cp on tor
Landon Barnes
No kiddie fucking in the epic of gilgamesh. Also, i'm not a pedophile. How will you cope op?
Evan Williams
Nice bait. So a few quasi-literary figures were attracted to early pubescent girls (you only have Mohammad for prepubescent). Dante was only a year older than Beatrice, and makes no mention of lusting after her at that time (nor were they ever close). IF Laura de Noves was Petrarch's Laura, he saw her first when she was 17, and they had no intimate contact at all. There is little evidence that Carroll lusted after Alice: read the books. He never bothers describing her or praising her at all, and she acts like a snotty prim little girl. He liked photographing lots of shit, and nude children were seen as symbols of purity in art, so his subject matter isn't as telling as you might think. Nobody's accusing Julia MArgeret Cameron of being a pedo, last I checked. Given the immense scope of literature with no connection to anything like lust for prepubescents, your theory is absurd. The fact you had to include "God" and Mohammad speaks to that.
Hunter Bailey
get in line desu
Sebastian Rivera
keep on the good work, OP!

>Implying Shamhat the harlot was older than 15.
Austin Hill
Jesus Christ you people are seriously fucked up
Hunter James
Nah, my dude. Carroll was deffo a pedo.
Jeremiah Flores
Fuck it, I'm leaping in. Morality isn't relative. If it was, how could we hold morals?

Blake Richardson
Because morals are social constructs we adopt to make all of our lives run more smoothly. Having a society agree on a social contract, a list of norms as a teacher of mine called them, gives all parties more peace of mind, security, and a sense of unity. Things the human psyche craves and 90% of people are willing to harness their urges to fulfill their end of the social contract so they can receive these assurances.

"""Straight murder""" differs wildly between cultures. Reddit has an obsession with objective morals, and is also slowly diffusing into this board.
Alexander Collins
Can confirm that attraction. Except I'm not a writer. But still.
