I don't understand why they're so "upset". In our modern age, fewer and fewer people are attempting to write for a living, what with the internet and videos being the easiest way to attract and audience and gain fame. Especially for the millennial generation who'd rather do something vis a vie social media rather than commit to write a book.

If you have people coming to you, with books in hand wanting to be a part of the literary scene and the work is good, fucking let them. Because if you ignore them based on the basis that "you're sick of white people" you'll only cultivate more hatred and resentment and only stoke the flames of discontent.

No ones gives a shit about your vice. How do you become a writer? You fucking write. The image destroyed the writer...

>spending $400 on a single book

Nigger I paid $400 for two entire antique hardcover sets of classic literature, and one of them includes Moby Dick. Shop around, senpai, God damn.

Yeah, I just spent a few hours looking through their threads. Based on his posts, their admin is unfortunately one of those boringly insecure former goons who can't help himself from projecting like a Dutch porn theater whenever someone dares to confidently disagree with him, and then doubles down when anyone calls him out. It's all "lol go watch ur hentais dumb nerd". Truly dull. I think I'll pass.

Not really /lit/, but I'm pretty sure Karl Pilkington has Asperger's (or high-functioning autism). If you watch An Idiot Abroad it becomes clear that he has no clue how to interact with other humans in a socially acceptable way. One of the symptoms of autism is being unable to imagine how another person might think or feel, how they might react to your words and actions. Karl seems completely unaware of the effect his ramblings have on other people, and he seems bemused to find out that other people don't think the same way he does.

/b/ is nothing but a containment board for shitposters and 14 year olds.

It doesn't mean "this is the board FOR topics not directly addressed by other boards"

>His Republic is a horrible, hierarchical way of government.
>horrible, hierarchical
>hierarchical

Please explain how hierarchy is a bad thing.

>Flutter flutter...
>All around them, cherry blossoms scattered to the ground. In the middle of a cherry-blossom-colored mist, a larger figure and a smaller figure stood close together atop a hill, surrounded by thick, old cherry trees. Standing atop the gently rolling hill of bright green, the two figures looked like they were floating in a thin, cherry-colored cloud.
>"The time has finally come to say goodbye, hasn't it?"
>"Oneesama, I...still..."
>Fwooo. A gentle breeze blew. It scattered the cherry blossoms again.

Too bad plagarist has just become another word that the ones in power spread to minions like you to shout loudly and repeat and repeat to disqualify dissidents without further discussion. Like RAPIST and DRUG OFFENDER (thought the last one doesn't work very well anymore ).

>taking a marine biology class for a science credit
>already took an oceanography class and aced it so this shit will be easy
>marine bio teacher is a political activist cunt who goads us on to save the world in every class
>watch a documentary about how the world is running out of fresh water
>watch a documentary about some 8 year old kid who started a charity in Africa to dig wells
>watch a documentary about dolphin and whale killers
>watch a documentary about shark preservation
>watch a documentary about ocean pollution
>watch a documentary about sustainable fishing
>after every documentary I have to write an essay about how I'll go on a personal crusade to save the world because I saw the documentary
>just want to write "I can't save the world, dumbass. Even if I could I wouldn't want to. Sure sucks that the ocean is full of trash and all the fish and water are going to dry up, but there's nothing I can do."
>barely pass the course because she can sense how little I care about political activism

Autodidacticism: the only proper way to learn.

If you're not going to read a book just because it came out in four segments, you're not going to find many good books in general, let alone SF.

And you're actually missing out on the best SF novel ever written. Not exaggerating, BOTNS stands up with some of the best in 20th century literature.
