/lit/ - Literature

While I appreciate the harshness of 4chan culture this issue really shined through recently with the autodidact general thread. It died at 120 posts, everyone in that thread was helpful and wanted to share in their experiences and adventures through learning a subject but not a whole lot of people posted or participated, partly because I think they were scared others would just make fun of them.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun to learn about lifting, cars, cooking, painting miniatures, drawing, etc while people are calling you a faggot and to kill yourself. I've done it and I've been able to participate when those subjects come up in day to day conversations thanks to 4chan, but it was really just sad that the thread died because there weren't enough people willing to participate without being a shitposter.
