/lit/ - Literature

If you want to improve your posture, you don't have to pay attention to your feet, your hands, your hips, your shoulders, your head or anything else: you just have to stick out your chest. A red thread hangs from the chest and hoever pulls makes the puppet stand up. Most of what we do is not very helpful, and anything but necessary. You just have to find your red threads. I think there are three. If you want to improve your posture, stick out your chest. If you want to improve your attitude, make your family the centre of your life. If you want to write an engaging story, come up with engaging characters.

>Is /lit/ the least weeb-friendly board on 4chan?
No, few here hate anime and most have watched at least a few. Anime related content is usually ignored. Tbh weeb culture is dead on 4chan and the cause for that lies in the fact that there have been almost no good anime in the last 7 years.
>Do you think good literature and Japanese pop culture can't go hand in hand?
Not hand in hand, no.
>How do you feel about weebs, especially when it comes to carrying conversations with them about literature?
It's usually boring to talk to them.
>What's your take on anime and manga?
The Japanese authors start with great initial ideas but can't continue properly after 6-24 months and either fuck it up or go into hiatus. Their endings are usually shit and when the author let's his characters tell his own philosophical or political opinions it's usually pathetic. I think that the Japanese media industry isn't getting the most gifted people but that goes for most countries nowadays I guess. The target group is children and teenagers, which overrate everything they consume so any popular or recommended anime/manga should be treated with low expectations.

The Lost Weekend - Jackson

4chan operates in a more reactionary than transgressive fashion. It always moves against what is current. It's the closest thing, even despite its growing popularity, to a popular internet counter culture we have. When the current run of progressive thought goes through its upheaval I imagine 4chan will take on a communist/marxist political stance. I'm probably wrong though.

This soulless board is about to shit on you but I actually support you OP. I hope you're writing for your own enjoyment because the 'Kerouac' style is not as easy to emulate as it looks. Kerouac is a special man. Writing about personal experience in jazz-like prose doesn't usually produce something that is interesting to other people. 99% of good fiction comes from detaching your writing from your own experience, and allowing it to become something else, something which is even closer to the truth.

>Hyperobjects occupy a higher dimensional space than other entities can normally perceive. Thus, hyperobjects appear to come and go in three-dimensional space, but would appear differently to an observer with a higher multidimensional view.

What did hyperobjects meant by this?
