Why are Dosto fans like this?

I picture some nerd histrionically making theatrical gestures as he talks about the soul of the great Dostoevsky and saying alas and shit, he seems to me like a writer that people who are lacking in true artistic sensibilities but want to posture as a sensitive and tortured soul cling to for whatever reason

He seems to foster a fanbase of contrived pseudodeep larping where everyone just pretends to have achieved enlightenment and transcendence by reading his philosophical screeds. I can't put it well into words but this post and picrel are the type of thing I'm talking about.

>Dostoevsky the giant, the master, a tortured soul, a genius, he understands psychology and the human condition
