Most of /lit/ will agree with you. These people treat the greatest pieces of literature as if it were pieces of trash. Even if they feel positively towards a work of literature, the most thoughtful thing they can say about that work is "HOW CAN ONE MAN BE SO BASED!?!?!?"

Verily, I believe we are all responsible for doing our part in raising the level of discourse on this board. Regarding my opinion on Candide, I believe it's an entertaining bildungsroman on its own that however, tries very hard to hammer in the fact that German Idealism as proposed by Leibniz is wrong. It also serves as light social commentary from the society of Voltaire's time, from Candide's native Germany to the auto da fes in Portugal, the encomienda system in the New World and the brutal slave trade in North Africa.
