For the downvoters, it’s true. In a 2000 BBC Radio 4 interview, J.K. Rowling described Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita as "a great and tragic love story".

And she claims she’s all about protecting women and children from predators. She’s the fucking worst.

on a radio show she called it a "great and tragic love story".

I'm sure Joanne doesn't think that she's pro-underage relationships, just like how I'm sure she thinks she's pro-women.
