Yeah, but you have to start it out with a plot about that to make the coomer audience start to read it. Like you could have the protagonist castrated towards the end, but I bet there are coomers into that too.

I mean, let's take LotR, that's not for coomers at all, but they don't go in expecting it anyway, or they just don't read it. So it's not so much anti-coomer as it is simply not interested in them. I want something that waggles the prospect of it at the reader, like catnip, making them self-insert into the protagonist and get invested, only for the book to do a 180 a long way into it and start bullying them for it.

There's a bunch of fantasy books that do that with the heroic type of stories and such, but I've not heard about or read anything that does the same to coomerlit.

I'm not a Phil major so feel free to make fun of me but is metaphysics settled on realism and materialism by now? All the idealism of Berkeley, Kant, and Hegel, what happened? Early modern thinkers like Hume feel more contemporary than them!

I never really read alot. Hell, I'm pretty sure I only read like 10 books in my entire life. It makes me feel like I'm missing something.

what are some good /autismcore/ books? Authors like Hegel or Nick Land's that are so unique, sometimes impenetrable, and sometimes feel like from another dimension?

what books have you guys picked for night reading? something that's not too heavy

What should I call myself if I'm agnostic about the philosophical notions of God (as a First Cause and all) but strongly believe that religion and spirituality are bullshit?

Who's your favourite author? How many books have you read of them? Have they been your favourite for a long time, or recently?

I'll start, I'd say my favourite is Saramago. Quite recently. I've read 4 of his novels: Blindness, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, The Double and Caim. I plan on reading everything by him.

What's that book that has a really grainy B&W cover of a building upside down? Might be an upside down church? I see it posted here every now and then, it's not that obscure. One word title, I think.

Tell me your bad writing habits.

Are you faithful to your own country's literary tradition or do you mainly slut it up with sexy foreign lit?

Let's suppose Shakespeare's work disappeared in the 18th century and all of what we know of him today had just recently been discovered. Would ge still be considered as one of the greatest poets/writers in English literature?

Are some artists considered great because they have always been considered great?

fuck bitches, get money
Can you refute this philosophy?

Isn't there a Dante chart?

Is "chaotic turmoil" an appropriate adjective clause? I am a foreigner writing a research paper that will shake the literary world from its very foundations, but i can't seem to decide on that clause.

Is public reckognition needed for a way of thinking/ set of ideas to become a philosophical current?

>mfw i was actually asking you to explain it to me

i believe it solves problems by accepting antithesis alongside thesis, or not discounting negations, regarding truth or certainty

what's the synthesis of stirnerian egoism and feuerbachian communism?

real question here...

Is there any refutation of Stirner that makes sense?

I think the answer is no. By reading Stirner, you don't become some bomb-throwing anarchist caricature (excluding based Renzo) like a lot of normies believe.

Stirner is just one of those guys that make you go "Hmmmmm"

I find myself growing tired of the pedantism contest that is /lit/. Where may I find a less pretentious, elitist and obnoxious literature board?
