Yikes and cringed.
This is what Harry Potter fans progress to. Discuss it on /r/books

The memes have really done a number on your brain, mate. I think it's time to seek help.

I don’t mind being cringy and no thank you

>>12119561
ok

>>12119568
We don't like Dune here. now fuck off to reddit. by the way, FUCK Herbert, fuck perverts, and fuck niggers.

>>12119588
yeah, FUCK that homophone

>>12119588
*i* like it and *im* here so ur wrong

>>12119551
I already made this thread, about a month ago, when the NPC meme started.

That's what liberals call most anyone prior to the 1990s. I assume, some decades from now, people will write that JK Rawlings, was a transphobe. I can see what you'll say now. "WOW. Fuck'n based and redpilled!"
Now please, fuck over & reddit.

pro-tip, anyone who unironically uses "homophobe", even if you're praising the person, is hopelessly bluepilled....... homophobic is a concept that has the a priori condition that the person in question is irrationally fearful of faggots. you accept the validty of this by employing this word in your vocab

>>12119588
fucking BASED

>>12119620
no one cares hipster

>>12119551
Is that jamiroquai?

dune is good. op is right

>>12119551
Kind of

The gom jabbar scene is to prefigure the protagonist as the chosen one. That is what makes ya fiction like Dune and Harry Potter popular, because there is a certain natural insecurity present in anyone at that stage of life, as you move from childhood into adulthood, it sort of helps being able to put yourself into that ideal of being the hero rather than just another nobody, and at that stage it's only a sign of insecurity, rather than something more fundamentally wrong with you as a person

If you are older than 13 however, you should probably get professional help

>people are supposed to not read books based on hearsay and then go around telling other people to not read a book that they themselves haven’t even read
lit in a nutshell

Except they're all correct. Better than preference falsification because r/dune has 20k members. Someone read /lit/ here for these attitudes to have taken off.

>>12120816
this IS preference falsification aka you’re all pseuds

moreover, it wasn’t just an innocent suggestion to go somewhere else. “Go back to Africa” isn’t just “Hello, good sir, you are more likely to get a useful response here. May I show you the way out?” It’s entirely derogatory towards OP for not knowing he shouldn’t read something he hasn’t read. They’re as incorrect as can possibly be because the entire line of thinking is nonsensical

>Someone read /lit/ here for these attitudes to have taken off.
Also there is no reason for anyone to believe this. Books are hated because they’re popular, which doesn’t require any First Mover, anyone pseud just come along and begin a hipster hate chain without having read anything

No, NPC's have no inner life. The Gom Jabbar tests whether you are a 'man' - defined by the Bene Gesserit as one who can control their instincts - or an 'animal' - one who is controlled by their instincts - 'animals' still have an inner life and are therefore not NPC's.
