I literally read 3 or 4 poems in the book, super cringe, obviously didn't finish. Just read a few poems and see what you think.

lol I've read this the fourth time and only now I realized that the right one is written by a 6 year old, and I thought to myself beforehand:
"hmmm, this right one may be about liberating yourself"
Her... whatever it is, is more about whining and coping it seems.

Everytime this thread gets posted, it gets flooded with awful "parodies" of her style about shit or cum or bad poetry. And everytime yall think its hilarious. Serious reddit core

minimal effort poetry concerned only with insta-aesthetics for maximum repost potential. Reading it in book format is dumb because then you actually have to pay it attention, whereas the the way it is meant to be consumed is by scrolling past, liking it and then forgetting about it in the space of a few seconds.

i think a major issue with /lit/ and "~the male brain~" in general is that they usually want to read/write "the greatest thing evah™", and tho i don't particularly think thats a bad thing, its something i think that makes it hard for take certain things at face value

>>15018839
this is a true take perhaps, but perhaps you are unfairly critiquing the value of "low effort poetry"

or: "it takes effort to look this effortless"

i feel like im the only one on /lit/ that vocally defends rupi; but if so many shitposting threads exist against her, surely there's a camp that agrees with me?
