Real answer: someone who was molested as a child or young adolescent and was never able to "get over it." They don't like it because it depicts pedophilia, but because the book is a scathing condemnation of the perverted thought process that leads to the sexual objectification and abuse of children. Some people don't see this because they only read the book at a surface level and don't realize that Humbert is an unreliable narrator and is meant to make you feel disgusted.
