Related: About this forumThe use of Lolita/Orgy to describe what occurred on that island is wrong and extremely offensive.

When old men sexually exploit an young underage girl it is wrong to refer to the girl as a Lolita (it inappropriately tries to shift the blame to the underage victim).
Definition of Lolita : a precociously seductive girl
It is also wrong to refer to what occurred as an orgy because when most people hear the word orgy they think of consenting adults, not old men sexually exploiting underage girls.
If that was your daughter, granddaughter or sister would you want her referred to as a Lolita who engaged in island orgies?
Note: I mentioned no names here. This is not about who was or was not there, it is about not using this terminology. And words used to describe a fact CAN change a person's view of those facts. Words matter!

If this was some pervert ring down by the border, it would sure not be given this treatment.

(362 posts)Lolita refers to the attitude towards the girls in the minds of the criminals. The origin of the term is the title of Nabokov's book. When the plane is called Lolita Express, the object of your sentence happen to be the perpetrators, not the victim.
