Nothing. I judge things on their individual merits. Cancel culture is for faggots.

I google the author's face and if it's ugly I don't bother with their stupid books.

>>15450030
For me, it's usually if someones not racist.

what makes you disregard someone's thread? For me, it's usually blatant bait.

If the author is sucking dick anywhere when I'm reading, then I won't like it.

When I start reading a book from a living author I hire a private investigator to track down and follow the author around and make sure that he isn't sucking dick when I'm reading his/her book. It gets harder for contemporary women obviously, because when they are engaging in sex in their house/hotel then it is hard to tell if/when she is sucking his penis. But if it's flaccid or hard, I usually wait until the foreplay is over just to be safe, then I crack open the spine again. I just think it's so cucked to be reading someone's book when they're sucking dick, I'm sorry.

>>15450070
And yet you still replied

Why you fucks responding to an obvious bait thread?

>>15450030
I skipped German romanticism because it seems like a complete self contradiction in how they're all so pro cheating and divorce but usually I only skip it if it's some nihilistic crap

>>15450030
i totes agree. racism is a very problematic phenomenon.
this is why i dont read anything pre-1900.
western studies? more like white guy studies.

>>15450030

When it is bad. I usually try to cherry pick something here and there, but if it is too much cherry picking I just disregard it.

>>15450079
and yet, i still saged*

I try to be neutral in my assessment. But if it's a transparently ideologically motivated writing I discount it highly. Particularly if it is hackneyed "woke" tripe that badgers me with predictable moralisms and sanctifies minorities.

when it's about tedious white people being white. am i supposed to give a fuck, cracker?

>>15450108
Minorities where? You read modern US lit?

>>15450030
>What makes you disregard someone’s work? For me, it’s usually racism

Of course, if someone is able to formulate a basic fact about human nature, that person is clearly to smart for you.

if /lit/ thinks it's good, it probably isn't

I guess if they're an anti-theist, a zionist, or an outright pedophile. I can't think of much.

>>15450128
That invalidates all the good stuff.

>>15450030
If it’s to do with race relations, racism is a reason to dismiss.

>>15450056
This, OP is a faggot

>>15450062
Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

I didn't know Jacobi was racist. Sauce???

Thats not Kant though.
Virgins cant cope with him looking like a goblin so they appropriated Jacobis portrait.

>>15450634
most poets are ugly

>>15450062
So who are some of your favorite author?

>>15451181
Only the ones that SUCK

>>15450062
Face directly reflects the soul. Ugly on the outside means ugly on the inside.

>>15450030
I thought his shit tier arguments to establish transcendental idealism was the reason we have to reject his philosophy
Besides, if we got rid of all the racists we would have to reject this brilliant bastard

>>15450030
ctrl+f "jewish" on Wikipedia

>>15450030
Nothing. I will listen to what anyone has to say. But I think Marxists are extremely dogmatic and pretend to be blind to the truth for the sake of childish utopianism

Atheism. It shows lack of wisdom.

>>15451814
So you exclude like 75% of all the masterpieces of the western canon.

>>15450125
Fuckin dumbass.. what the fuck do know about formulating facts faggot?

>>15451845

I started to reread Lovecraft when I learned about his racism and his assimilation policies. Makes thin skinned nerds mad at me and plus it's fun to see how racist he gets.

>>15450030
I don’t usually judge books by the authors morals or lifestyle. I disregard someone’s work if I don’t like their style, but if a pedophile writes a great book I wouldn’t disregard it solely for that reason. I don’t know why an authors lifestyle should affect the view of their work.

>>15450030
Kant's racism is so funny. He talks about how he doesn't understand why everyone from the equator is different skin color. I love that people hold 18th century Europeans to modern standards of social justice. Haha white people we've canceled your book writer, got you aahahaha whats next???

>>15450030

>>15450074
I have the same problem, which is why I only read dead authors, who I can be reasonably sure are not currently having sex.

>>15451882
Jews are only in the canon because Jews shilled to get them there.
