Do you feel this word is offensive or vulgar?

blacklisted...

No.

From TGP and some program marketing I know. I am just asking if people feel this is a 'bad' word. Like a Carlin 'Seven Dirty Words' type word. Or does it entirely depend on the context.

I have no idea what this thread is about. Kill me.

In Europe lolita refers often to a sexy young girl (can be 20 years old or so), in US it has CP connotations

Lolita is a fucking female name.

Whatever people associate it with, is their own problem.

Agree PA... on the net is an obvious "bad word" and now firmly in the realms of pedo shit - presumably drawn from Nabokov's book and the movie which was damned funny, but predictably caused some ripples with the righteous :pimp

I'd steer clear of using it.

When i hear the word Lolita, i get the image of a girl under 18, maybe 14-15 y.o. who seems quite attractive for mature men.

i don't see how it's vulgar but I would never use it

the only word association I have with "lolita" is the name of Nabokov's novel. So I definitely don't think it's offensive or vulgar.

p.s. and why no option "POLL SUCKS?"

all I know is that it was a fantastic movie.

It might be a name of a person in some countries, but I don't think it's used to reference anything good most of the time, especially dealing with anything xxx related, come on the book was published in the 50s and it was about a girl under the age of consent.

Check out the info at wikipeida

even if you don't know about the book and films it is clear that most people that use that term are trying to suggest very young looking models...even if they are legal it is the 'don't they look almost illegal' thing that I hate.

The word (or name) in and of itself isn't offensive per se, but when you're running a TGP that takes submissions and you get a gallery that has a very young-looking teen model's pics and the page is loaded with keywords such as "Lolita", well... it doesn't take a genius to figure out what that particular submitter is going for with regards to who they're pandering to.

In that sense I agree with the term being banned, because in that sense it's not "just a word", it becomes a vehicle to attract would-be molesters of young teens and the pedo crowd to one's site. Not acceptable, at least in my book.

I find it amazing that people can take a word and fuck it up so that even if in some sense it has a negative meaning - we then suggest that any time using that word is bad. The word itself is not bad - it's the personal interpretation of it that is. If you have someone who never even considers CP then they are not even affected by it. The general population doesn't associate it with CP, only the small percentage who search for it.

I think of the nabokov novel before anything else so not offensive at all.

B-I-N-G-O and BINGO was his nameo

yes but those searching for CP use it almost as code so when used in porn it is suggesting underage ....it isn't like it is only porn where it is every meant that way. Remember Amy Fisher? What was she called? Yeah, the Long Island Lolita because she was underage - people know the meaning.

:thumbsup

I don´t know who the fuck gave this cp conotation to this name. My guess is germans.

or possibly Vladimir Nabokov

not good. i once search lolita in a p2p and all that came up to me was pedo shits like.... (well i dunno if its okay to be posted here, dont wanted to be banned coz of this thread)

in short it is really deeply associated with pedo search words. not good if you want to use it as meta tags

My friend Ita is so funny so when I chat to her I usually write:
LOL Ita

:1orglaugh

kind of like what hitler did with the swastika?

Ditto:Oh crap

The term is a relic. It was an acceptable term prior to 2000, but is now highly taboo and blacklisted just about everywhere. As it should be, because although it was once just another keyword for teen porn, the Peds pushed it further, and transformed it into a keyword for CP.

J/K- I get it now...but not sure really? It is a bit of a tough one:Oh crap

you´re right.

The problem isn't the word itself, it's the people you attract with it...definately not the type of surfer I'd like to deal with in any way.

best analogy ever

it all depends on what you think about.
i think about the movie...which was a great film.

Not really.

I would not touch it

No need to draw extra heat..avoid it

Damn I don't even remember starting this thread a year ago, lol...

we have a bar lounge downtown called club lolita or something

in poland, lolitka refers to a young chick, 18/19

Agreed :thumbsup:thumbsup

why r u bumping old threads?

Personally, no and I think the book is a masterpiece. I love Nabokov.

Old Thread Alert !!
