Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice in Wonderland," was actually a pretty weird dude. There is a great deal of evidence that surfaced after his death suggesting he had sexual interest in extremely young girls. You know, like he enjoyed drawing and photographing children in the nude.

And Alice herself? Was based on an 11-year-old, whom some allege Carroll may have wanted to marry. Thankfully, Carroll was said to have died a virgin...probably for the best.

Why was Neetch like this? It's obvious that he was projecting because no one in the prime of their health thinks this way. Couldn't he see that even sick people can bring value to the world? Think of all of the sickly writers, poets, artists, and inventors that have contributed so much, if it were up to him they would have been suffocated in infancy

If he were alive today, would he get cancelled?

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I'd add this guy too, even if he is a crypto-pedo.

Why is it that so many great writers were pedophiles?

>My favorite author is Lewis Carroll
What kind of person do you imagine?

A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July—

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear—

Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die.
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream—
Lingering in the golden gleam—
Life, what is it but a dream?
