Cosplayers don't like the Reader writer coming in costume
Dear Scott, I suggest you to do a little research yourself, before arrogantly giving off your superficial knowledge here. Firstly, there is no such word as 'lola' in spanish. Secondly, technically Lolita is not exactly a word in the first place, but a name, like every other and a short form for Dolores, which derives from the word 'dolor' in latin meaning pain/suffering. (So I guess one could say you were marginally right in this point) While the protagonist of Nabokov's novel is named Lolita indeed, the name of Lolita fashion has a completely different origin. It might be true that Nabokov has popularized 'Lolita' as a synonym for the sexualisation of a child-woman in the USA, Lolita fashion is neither from the US, nor has it anything to do with pedophilia, thus proving your argument of "Without him, you wouldn't be using it." as completely nonsensical. It is a mere coincidence that they have the same name. Please stop belittling other people and calling them insane while sprouting so much bull yourself. Thanks.— January 15, 2013 6:30 p.m.

I'm very sorry to hear that this happened to you. Wouldn't the activity of this so called 'reporter' be technically illegal? Unauthorized recording and publishing of private conversations, diffamation etc... She totally deserves to be sued.— January 15, 2013 5:45 p.m.
