>I honestly doubt anyone has actually read him, or at least finished the bulk of his work. There's like an IQ line between me, team lead, like two other people, and the rest of our team. We have 4 consistent book finishers and discussers, the other team members are always halfway through a book they'll never finish, if they even start it. Yet somehow here we are, with all these strong opinions on shit they HAVEN'T read or haven't finished. I get so fucking mad when I hear some half baked opinion so obviously copied from a book or game YouTuber, then get 3/4s through my sentence thoughtfully explaining my experience with the topic of discussion and why I did or didn't like it, and some invariably fat, probably bespectacled, likely bearded, definitely sweater vested nerd fuck interrupts me to shit out a canned take and then admit they've never read/seen/played the fucking thing. What the fuck are these people doing with their time then? Just googling random shit and copy pasting opinions into their head to piss people off by being a practiced pathological contrarian? I swear they just botpost IRL.

>Look I dither about a lot of things and am very willing to admit I'm wrong, admit I don't know something, admit I'm not perfect, willing to grow etc but no. Not now, not this time. I am absolutely superior to terminally online caffeine induced ADHD chronic masturbator actively dying of adipose tissue pseud normies who can barely start or finish a book let alone a fucking conversation, and good news! So is pretty much anyone that can finish a book and offer thoughtful critique and insight. Thinking my anecdotes matter? Perhaps not the last one, unless further contextualization of my experience within my local SFF discourse were useful to any reader as a barometer of said discourse outside of an online space, but my previous post was absolutely topical to the person I replied to.

>Cashiers at clothing store complimenting me on my hair
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AAAAAA

My dad texted me asking what i wanted from this thai place and i responded with "General thai chicken. Medium Spicy" and he responded with "Gay" and a laughing emoji.
He doesn't understand that medium is already relatively spicy AAAAAAAAAAAA

>The point put forward by the OP is insane and makes little to no sense. They base their argument on some esoteric tale of yore and how the "wild man" is the enemy of an alleged "normalfag society". The argument is based almost entirely on sex and the op delibarately appeals to the reader's emotions on multiple occasions through buzzwords and non-sequitors to make a non-existent point and draw out a wholy emotional response.

>The point brought up about how "For a woman, the best state of society is peaceful ... doesn't want to get raped or murdered", well no shit man! Nobody in their right mind wants to experience constant strife and fear, woman or man. Putting the current state of insanity in the cultural state of the world (which no doubt exists) on the shoulders of some ancient and rooted male human behaviour is idiotic and grossly oversimplicative. It does not in anyway explain the refugee crisis.

>A true "wild man" would not be swayed by a simple, one dimensional explanation for this, nor would he be concerned with it in the first place. He would just continue existing and be his own person. Be himself. A man.

>If OP is implying the wild 'Enkidus' of the world are the nazis that antifa challenges to riot and fight in the streets, he is disconnected reality. A nazi is the furthest thing from a wild and free man. A nazi follows orders, is unflinching in their world views and is easily swayed by means far more simple than seduction and sex. A free thinking and wild man is not.

>It may be hard to see from the inside for you Americans, but this societal strife shit in your country has been building for a long time. The election issues change only in name, are never 'real', and have always been the same. You turn a blind eye to the meddling of your nation throughout the world, and they want you to, just so that the industrial-militarial-complex can be sustained. Political strife and civil unrest are means to an end to achieve this goal, and typing up and listening to posts like OPs does nothing but further your nation's true interests. It should be your personal quest to shut the fuck up about and stop buying into this nonsense bipartisan, emotional bullshit. Stop talking about it and it will go away. Unsaid thoughts hold no sway.

>Stop spreading it to other nations too.

>tl;dr: OP is just stirring up shit and misdirecting the real causes some place else. Don't listen to them.
