>Do you consider me outed as an oversensitive fuck, then?
Yes.
>If not, was this sorting worth the clarity of your message?
Even though it is not not the case, yes.
Is it important to our discourse that I be an outcast?
Somehow, yes.
Why?
Certain familiarity.

>Words form ideas, which form narratives and ideologies that direct our lives. People have literally murdered each other over words.
No shit. But did you ever consider context? This isn't a diehard dicussion about ideologies where lives could be possibly at stake. It's a Chinese cartoon forum, where we're talking about the comparison of literature and video games, or to be precise, why the latter is supposedly better than the former. You, as far as my reading comprehension doesn't deceive me, claim that no video game could have the same depth as literature. I provided two examples, which are, by my humble opinion, Magnum Opi in what they tried to accomplish, therefore naturally succeeded in satire and thought-provoking subjects.

Instead of psychologizing unnecessary bullshit, you could just chose to not get offended and stay focused on the topic.

I could be wrong, and you may be a good conversation partner and the standard 4chan filter of profanity failed me to see you as such. But the fact that you initiated it, rather wasting time than engaging in dicussion, assures me it would be a waste of time nonetheless conversing with you.

Was the hassle worth it?

I'm living it somewhat. That means
>no job because I'm not good at hiding that I'm indifferent and eccentric
>no social circle
>the few "friends" I have are everything but intellectual, are very conform to idiotic social graces and conventions
>my family is unsupportive, vile and dumb as dogshit

If you're intellectual, that may sound good on paper, but if you aren't a grade A actor/actress pretending to be your average Joe, heh, then good luck man, good luck on not killing yourself in the end.

I found a good thread on Quora, explaining why intellectuals are universally hated and why they need to pretend to be normal and stupider than they actually are: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-dislike-smart-people

I'm not a native speaker and it was one of the first few books i'd read when I was young that wasn't harry potter. It's a very good book.

Don't you have a Jonathan Franzen novel to be reading, pleb? Maybe an Oprah book-of-the-month? I like my latte with extra foam

Which reply should I be responding to? The Gish Gallop about how it's okay that Chomsky denied genocide was taking place because what about East Timor dude, or the guy who keeps trying to start an argument with a YouTube video he watched when he was high and had confused this thread with?

>tfw the courses are so expertly put together that 75% of your uni teachers dgaf about being interesting

>WoT thread on /lit/

Haha, oh man. This is what I come here for.

It's SHIT. Complete and utter SHIT. Do NOT read it. I powered through this whole series one summer and I have never regretted anything more. I still feel searing disappointment at least once a week that Jordan is dead, because I will never be able to tell him what a FUCKING AWFUL NOVELIST HE WAS.

You will LITERALLY, LITERALLY LITERALLY sit through THOUSANDS of pages of USELESS FUCKING TRASH just to get to THE LAST TWO FUCKING PAGES OF THE BOOKS WHEN THE ACTION HAPPENS. YOU WILL SIT THROUGH LITERALLY LITERALLY LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF WHINY REPETITIOUS INNER DIALOGUE ABOUT THE STUPIDEST FUCKING SHIT.

Robert Jordan is the most insulting author I've ever read. He doesn't give a FUCK about the reader and will force them to sit through eons of meaningless text to get to the small interesting kernels of good fantasy.

None of the characters are good.
None of the relationships are good.

>your fucking face when Jordan fucking SKIPS the part where Mat kills Couladin despite that being the culimating point of about 3000 pages of uninteresting literary drool

I could go on and on but the bottom line is Robert Jordan, while good at world building and one-liners, was unfortunately one of the worst novelists of all time. The greatest thing he ever did for his magnum opus was die because Brandon Sanderson was able to take his ideas and turn them into something organized and intelligible.
