/lit/ - Literature

Prove it.

I stopped posting, sorry about that.

Reddit. But you idiots will deny it.

>>14419049
going from a slow board to an active board

it looks the same using warosu archives

>>14419059
at this point reddit would be an improvement on lit

Eliza

Want to fix it together or should we keep making "things used to be better" threads?

>>14419049
>Coming to /lit/ for any other reason but to discover extremist political lit

>>14419049
Low effort OPs like you that just want something to read on what ever it is that pops into their mind but are to lazy to research and form answers for themselves.

>>14419167
WHOA IT'S AN ACTUAL GIRL??
nm don't want.

>>14419049
/lit/ was shit from 2010, up until around 2016 because it was infested with /lgbt/ and vapid marxists. They all left for leftypol, just recently it went to shit again when 8ch closed down. It doesn't help that all the recent traditionalist threads became spam.

>>14419058
This. Basically.
Increasing waves of reactionary idealism, misogyny, nationalism, religion, have all nearly drowned out the finer topics and alienated and driven out the old posters.
Yes increased traffic, but it could have been resisted.
I should just go. What’s past is past.

>>14419058
this and pewdiepie low-key promoting this board

>>14419613
Yeah you should just go you fucking tranny

People looking for self-help instead of reading literature. I blame hiroshima's lack of moderation.

Barely a blip from them
Fucking memers with their low effort characters suck the life out of here more. But we all know the “coomer” meme is Catholic posters

>>14419670
>Barely a blip from them
Every second thread is "bros how do I find meaning in my life? will jesus christ help? recommend me books for this feel"

>>14419059
>say something that isn't popularly appealing or conventionally true, even with clear disclaimer of it being a tentative idea to discuss and not a personal belief
>downvoted into nonexistence if not outright deleted and/or banned
And that's on the good subreddits. The vast majority are a lot worse.

>>14419670

You are so not "with it" it's unbelievable

Love me some white girl feet, especially when they got those tiny ivory bell toes, like frozen white berries

made a thread on qa

The coomer meme isn't even popular on lit compared to decidedly uncatholic boards, you deranged troonster. It didn't start here and it wasn't popularised here. Furthermore, the Trad/Catholic roleplayers have their own anti-sex memes so they don't need it.

>>14419703
Sincere effort, Anon. Megheads will spread the word.

I mained a different board for a few months, and when I came back the board was missing 50% of the autism and had risen to mostly posturing people who are socially aware enough to think current political and social discussion were not dull. I am truly sorry if it's my fault for not beating these parvenus into the ground with social realist pulp doorstoppers the second they started smelling their own farts but you should know that stymieing them simply is as easy as telling them Flaubert wrote it better and they need to learn French.

I like that as well but on boys

my sincere thanks bro

>>14419690
I gotta remind myself how ashy those alabaster apes are else I'm gonna fall prey to another femdom bender

Le epin r/4chan greentexts and the 2016 election opened up the site to every kind of cancerous normalfag retard who is here just to be "cutting edge".
They can't use facebook properly, let alone an imageboard.

>What happened

Zoomers and T_d/Reddit refugees flooded the place in 2016. they don't read

Mobile users have been an absolute blight.
You can't type anything worth saying on a phone.

What happened is 4chan got popular, which vastly increased the number of both normalfag and faux-alternative drones posting here not for any interest in the subject, but merely for a hit of dopamine.

Not enough footposting.

guenon posting is the apex of philosophical discourse

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>I should just go.
First sensible idea you've ever had and the first thing of value you've ever said.

Hop on your two ton fatty ass tranny legs and go ruin some local library with a nonsense Ted talk about gender capitalism or some other vaguely defined garbage constructed entirely from buzzwords.

>>14420204
shitty cookie-cutter faceberg posts like this is arguably the worst thing about /lit/ right now. the board is basically muh great bloomerdoomer burgerpunk adventure at this point. frogtwitter has much dunning–krugering to answer for

>>14419703
Marxist faggots ruined this board by injecting their close-minded nonsense into every discussion.

>>14419049
you just can't find the right threads
sorry for you :x

Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be'st born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me,
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear,
No where
Lives a woman true, and fair.

If thou find'st one, let me know,
Such a pilgrimage were sweet;
Yet do not, I would not go,
Though at next door we might meet;
Though she were true, when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two, or three.

marxists were here in 2010

>>14419049
Zoomers, phoneposting, gamergate, and the 2016 election raped and killed /lit/, unironically.

>>14419703
Bugs, easy on the /lit/izens.

>>14420332
Marxists contribute little to actual discussion. The "read theory" meme as has turned them into rather lazy posters too. This place just drags discourse as a whole down the tubes.

>>14420332
they were less dogmatic and lower in number.
