>when you are cold and dead to the world around you, and have trouble leaving the endless circlejerk that is your own mind, then Nietzsche is your medicine, but when you are overdosing on your own vitality and stimulated to the point of being unable to think straight, then Plato is your medicine
You are the problem

I'm convinced Harry Potter was written by the Mi6 and that JK Rowling is just an actor.

i know this whole thread is memes and /r9k/...but please tell me you dont actually believe this

Why does /lit/ hate genre fiction so much? I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying it. It has a purpose as entertainment and if someone is able to find value from it, then what is inherently wrong with it? Hell, even people like Pynchon are able to enjoy cartoons, and DFW was able to enjoy watching TV all the time.

I welcome someone to show me a comic where the following isn't true.

The reason even "elite" "patrician" comics are bad is because the writers pretend to have some kind of deep philosophical insight when at best they have that quasi-nihilism that seems to be the default worldview of the modern era. They have nothing of value to actually say, and their closest relatives are the "hard science fiction" writers who think they're deep for promoting ideology like Malthusianism which has neither moral nor empirical justification.

It's just embarrassing. I like the artwork, but the writer almost always lets the artist down with this shit.

The wife is Russian but doesn't know English very well, while the husband doesn't know Russian at all. She basically translates the Russian into simple English, then he fixes the grammar and puts in better sounding language. It often sounds awkward but it continues to sell the most because the publishing company pushed it hard and Oprah used it for her book club shit
