Gertrude Stein first and foremost.

Of course, Lolita was a case where it was clear that lots of publishers were going to have problems from a reputational perspective rather than a quality one. It still seems to me a miracle that a publisher back then agreed to take the book (and a testament to free societies).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
