/lit/ - Literature

Anyone else annoyed at the fact that every “must read” book from old (basically all of greek lit) are so centered around war? Some with crude imagery that leaves a spoiled taste in my feelings. Everywhere you fucking look in modern day entertainment it’s death, gore, sex, alcohol, etc. I really hate to be that guy but it gets annoying.

From bodies being dragged from carts in greek lit, to the beheading of a fierce beast in sumerian lit. What’s his name slept with Who’s his face’s wife. Blah blah fucking blah.

We brush it off like “haha they were just more honest back then” but fuck me right? If i’m uncomfortable and unironically triggered at seeing the word Nigger in an actual book or the theme of Rape and Murder 24/7 then i must be a faggot? Kys. All of you.

Nothing is fucking pure anymore. No one is serious.
