weak takes from both of you desu. No idea what "liberal" means in the context of what you're saying, or how it relates to heroism.
You think Rowling and the Wachoskis aren't liberal?
If you're inclined to shit up the thread with these smoothbrain, superficial takes, at least read the other comments first. Here's some examples of actually intelligent people responding:

You can do better. Hold yourselves to higher standards please. At least try and make a specific criticism, rather than shitting your pants and ranting about undefined boogeymen.

i hate that im forced by years of evolution to talk and be friendly with people. i wonder what humans would be like if we weren't so heavily encouraged by our bodies to have relationships with people.
maybe the next step in our evolution is becoming transhumanist, schizoid workers birthed by artificial wombs and raised by ai since knowledge can now be spread through the cloud without all of the cumbersome social elements involved. being honest though, very few people would be comfortable with a change like that even if it would be for the better since it would most likely mean an end of close relationships for the first people to try this new technology along with all of the ethical barriers in the way.

cooming. That's literally all that's in my mind these days. I havent had sex in years and I keep getting exposed to sexualized or pornographic content. not just online but irl too. coworkers, sluts on the street, you name it. Im getting very close to hiring a lady of the night who can suck me dry but im too chicknshit to do it. Im scared I might catch a vd or get caught in a sting or some other absurd unlucky happenstance.

I just bought it today after seeing all the interviews hes did is the book really bad or something 20 pages in and i really do like it so far. Please i know youre all gonna troll me but seriously I take all your opinions on /lit/ way more to heart than say fucking faggot david eggers HEHE this book is SOOOOOO FUNNY etc foreword. Made me really hate the prospect of reading it since wallace said it was supposed to be a sad book about entertainment consumption and the need for minute by minute gratification. Make me wanna kill David Eggers tbqh. So tell me

do you most of you hate Wallace for being a pontificator like the camera man says in that main interview or is infinite jest actually some deeply relatable book to /lit/ about modernity?

Was thinking of this earlier.

The visual novel is a nearly untapped artistic medium. Save for just barely a few titles, most visual novels today are little more than hentai.

It's a real shame. The medium can potentially have the best of both film and literature. It can have the perfect voices and illustrations for characters and atmospheric settings and backdrops, but also provide the critical depth present only in books. But, again, it's a massive shame, because almost all of it is otaku drek that stretches on for DAYS.

The only notable VN I can even think of is Saya no Uta, which is probably my favorite horror story of all time, save for its fucking redundant and ill-fitting sex scenes.

I'd love to spearhead the new western movement of visual novels or something like that and prove that it's a medium that has the potential to be respected, but I just don't have the time at the moment. If anyone else wishes to be the vanguard, by all means let me know.

Has there ever been a villian you've rooted for?
