Me (and my diary desu).
I miss monsieur, and Irishman lyricist, that thesis 11 guy who was always on about hanging our foremen, and even the "oh my god this generation" faggot. Current idposters on /lit/ seem retarded, boring, or inexistent.

i am so recognisible but not one ever notices me because i never tripfag because i have standards goddamit and and also i am ashamed my fucking shit when i wake up but still scurry around hoping for yous and and i have such a clear distinctive style, surely someone has noticed

Me, mr bestposter

Please stop with vanity-baiting, social media bullshit. The anonymity is the essence of this place.

>>13360662
It's a good way to remind everyone they are spending too much time here

>>13360662
Actually, the essence of this place is the essence of this place.

>>13360713
I think it has the opposite effect: some people post here so much that they becoming identifiable? I should narrow my style of posting and make it more recognizable so I can be like them! If we start down that path (as if tripcodes weren't enough), this place will become like every other shit platform.

That Brazilian playwright whose name I forgot.

He probably knows Shakespeare better than any Anglo poster here.

I am Brazilian too, but I don't think any of you will recognize me, even though I am pretty easy to spot.

Kierkegaard eyes poster

I'm Joe Rogan

>>13360602
That one objectivist poster who refers to Ayn Rand as "top lass"

That guy who doesn't understand why the other characters like the heroine in Portrait of a Lady

The guy that can’t stop talking about his „LSD revelations“ and „becoming one with the cosmic consciousness“
btw can someone post the „psychedelic literature“ list? Currently reading Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer, it’s a ride

>>13360782

every monarchist poster is my friend

That Navakavada Buddhist goy...

>>13361051
That's a group of about five of us who work in relays to bring Pope to the masses

All those Baconians... Glad to say, though, that I have never seen an Oxfordian post here, which shows that no matter how low things get around here, we have not entirely lost all sense of shame. I can put up with a Marlovian, a Baconian or even a Stratfordian, they all have good arguments or at the least suggestive ideas. But Oxfordianism? NO.

>>13360662
It's totally fine to have recognizable personas and even trips. look at what happens with the ambiguity of all the different posters claiming to be butterfly: they use just the insignia, copy the trip into the name field, and even use different tripcodes. Who is doing this? are they all imposters? butterfly gestalt? It doesn't really matter since ultimately the anonymity remains, and we are left in a much funnier, more intriguing situation for it. a big part of my enjoyment of this site is imagining/witnessing how my fairly blind interactions with the forum (and those of others) might echo through it and (maybe) outward into the world. 4chan is not about to get turned into some whole other thing. they obviously understand the formula for their success - so far.

Legend has it if you say his name three times in the mirror at midnight, he will appear and complain about stacies before eating all the food in your house

thank god i haven't been such a nuisance that anyone recognizes me.

>>13361341
Generally speaking I am the only one who gives a fuck about him. This is the first I've seen you comment on his existence.

He is a sad creature, but he is happier these days. Which is a good thing, I think. :3

>>13362217
london frog is the only poster mentioned itt that I recognize.

>>13361341
>desperate (you) baiter calling others boring
you couldn't make a thread about your personality with half as many replies as the london guy not that I'm particularly fond of him.

That guy that never gets any (you)s

I'm the guy who posts about how literature is a shit medium

>>13360732

BOLAÑO TALCAFAG

There is a salty anti-accelerationist poster that always posts this image of him getting called a caveman and it's really funny to me

That poster who uses ellipses a lot...

Pathetic veiled circlejerk thread.

>>13360602
London frog is all that comes to mind. I imagine that if you had an A.I. analyze /lit/ posts it could cluster posts based on common writing styles and grammar errors but as a mere human, I can't find much distinctness amongst you. I do remember this wizard who would post about his loneliness in a sad but oddly poetic way, forgot his name though.

>>13361147
Who is they? The people who took over as owners a few years ago and are the reason we now have two "boards"? A more palatable 4channel.org, and the degenerate 4chan.org? But that's not even the biggest problem.

I'm simply saying that the more we let vanity and self-importance creep in, the sooner we lose the essence of this place, which is: free speech, unfiltered opinions, and (let's face it) LARPing with few consequences. I could do without the latter, but having a place for free speech and debating the genuine opinions of more-or-less normal people with nothing to prove, is EXTREMELY valuable to me.

>>13361341
I'm not a troll. I simply value free speech and unfiltered opinions. And I recognize that if unique identities are facilitated here, it's only a matter of time before we have a facebook-esque cesspool that achieves even LESS than what we achieve now as far as discourse goes.

>>13364278
anon is for shitposting. trips are for building up a track record so people will take you seriously and give you better recs. two indispensable opposites, each of which contains the seed of the other

The schizoposter shows the teleology of /lit/eratis gone wrong. His ramblings are godlike, however.

I’m a big fan of that faggot Kafka shill

>>13360782
imagine spending every day clout chasing on an anonymous japanese image board only for no one to recognize you. well done, youve discovered a new level of pathetic

>>13365028
Im pretty sure the schizoposter is my former philosophy professor.

schizoposter and yawnposter

>>13360662
Ah, faggotposter, it's you again.

The crazy guy
The guy that posts the same confused anime girl when he starts a thread
The new butterfly tripfag that needs to go back to /cgl/
The super catholic Jesus freak that argues in every political thread
That one alt right cuck that stops responding when you bring up the law
The dude that always memes Chomsky without ever having read him
The one dude that keeps forcing mobious Richards
That one anon that kept bumping the burgerpunk threads even after I ran out of content to provide

Of course these are the recent posters I can think of, I’ve been on 4chan since 2005 and wasted my life away. I can’t remember everyone.

>>13364408
I think you're exaggerating the value of one's reputation in harvesting better recs. People don't withhold recommendations. Either they liked it or they didn't. Lurking would achieve a similar result.
>>13365087
kek'd, but fuck you.

>>13360732
this. the harrisite

>>13360838

also, the butterfly impersonators. one is a liberal who thinks socrates and nietzsche were liberals, another is a reactionary

that is hilarious, I hope it's true

>>13365028
anyone has the pdf with the based 5oclock wojak poster collected shitposts ?

>>13360782
It's bad enough that butterfly exists, it's worse that fags like you are trying to mimic her, resulting in multiple butterflies.

>>13364278
4Chan has gotten way too much media exposure and now the oldfags makeup a minority of the userbase, therefore the elitism that kept the board culture from deteriorating is no longer in power. Something really big has to happen or this sites gonna be edgy reddit in 3 years tops.

>>13368463
>elitism that kept the board culture from deteriorating
Oldfag since 05 here. It wasn't elitism, it was simply user growth. The idea that GETs no longer define memes for years, and the fact is that DUBS are a sick ironic parody of the original GET culture from back then. The internet wasn't as big and it wasn't as regulated. Everyone was still posting niggerfaggots and long cats. The merging into the rest of the internet world hadn't happened. Now, the content flows together. People always think it was better back in the day, but it's always been shit senpai.

>>13363015
>he still thinks there's only one person who hates accelspammers

>>13368483
I agree with what you're saying, but back in the day if you posted anything that made you come across as remotely ignorant you'd get shit on and called a newfag. Nobody says "lurk moar" anymore. This is because the oldfags are in the minority and they don't have the power to bully newfags into being afraid to speak. And it's not even just about meme culture; if you were ignorant of literature (or /mu/sic or /v/idya or whatever) and you posted asking questions outside of threads specifically made for them, or even made yourself look ignorant in general, you'd get rejected and shunned, if not at least made fun of. The beauty of this place used to be that despite how vulgar and cancerous it could be, the people who browsed and posted here were actually people who were experienced enough to partake in real discussion. Now its become diluted and the standards have disappeared.

>>13368539
You just gave me a waive of nostalgia. God I was so stupid back then. That was fun.
>lurk moar
heh.

>>13360732
There's a few of us.

I never start those threads, but I am the one who goes into the most logical detail about how things like is/ought, normative/descriptive and subjective/objective are false dichotomies.

Not a fan of neoliberal jews like Harris, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

>>13367814
No anon, it's strategy. Butterfag impersonators are wisely doing this to foment additional hatred for him/it.

>>13361392
tfw you realize that Butters is the infamous >>400000000 poster.

>>13365064
anonfagging actually helped me reduce my screentime.

I shitpost derivative works based on these.

That guy who posts that 2666 weird copypasta about a book written by some crazy Chilean teacher and him being a Pinochet agent, in EVERY Bolaño thread.

>>13365028
It was fun chatting with him in that thread, he reminded me not to be so hard on Langan. Still agree about the teleology ofc.

guenonfag is easily recognizable

"schizoposter" doesn't count because he's just a shallow tryhard who posts his own OPs in an attempt to make himself into a thing, he also samefags criminally. back in the day we called these gimmickposters and they were despised unless they were very subtle. "schizoposter" is not subtle.

>>13370294
