/lit/ - Literature

>>15556200
Zoomers straight out of /tv/

>>15556210
stop following me cunt

>>15556200
>>15556210
Which are worse, bros?

>>15556200
Based boomer /pol/ bros are welcome here.

>>15556238
Probably disaffected redditors
Then the /tv/ zoomers with /pol/ sympathies
Than the actual /pol/ radicals are actually the least intrusive since they’re usually pretty brazen about it and acknowledge the fact that they are indeed race-baiting

>>15556200
Why are there so many boomers on /pol/?

I'm from /x/

>>15556282
Mainly r/thedonald and /qresearch/ after 8ch got shut down

>>15556282
They migrated from Facebook

>>15556256
Kill yourself

>>15556282
I think it’s just people over 25 who used to split their time browsing /b/ when it was the flagship board and reddit before it just became full-fledged social media
Teenagers just call anyone over 25 boomer

Former doomer from sp here

>>15556319
No, when im talking about boomers im not refering to oldfags who have been here for a long time, i'm refering to literal 55+ year old people who got here through reddit and facebook

Holy based pontifex Maximus archon rapture is one of the last examples to the contrary
Faggot

>>15556376
Are you sure there not just oldfags who’ve been here since 2008?

Yeah started lurking a bit more as of late and it's staggering how many retards are here. Could be better.

>>15556257
Ethnos is an important issue, it only seems like baiting to you because you're a retard.

yes, the guy who spams Ted Kaczynski

drifted here from /ck/ after egg fort webms got boring, based on my qualifications of english literacy and full bookshelves

>>15556200
Gen-Xer here, straight outta /b/...
Back when /b/ wasn't so cancerous.

>>15556536
Same. My racist frogs are so much more nuanced than zoomer racist frogs.

>>15556488
>drifted here from /ck/
go back

The mods need to do their fucking jobs and cleanse the off-topic trash from this board. I'm tired of seeing coomer threads and threads about midwit celebrities like Ben Shapiro.

>>15556536
calling /b/ cancerous implies there is even a body left to corrupt

>>15556200
Far more threads complaining about /pol/ than there are /pol/tards. Probably due to the mass influx of brainead plebbitors that think /lit/ is supposed to be /leftypol/.

>>15557917
No it's because the vast majority of our shitty off-topic threads are either /pol/-related or /r9k/-related. They're either threads about current events that barely pretend to want book discussion attached, or they're shitty blogposts by disgusting, depressed losers with "books for this feel" tacked on at the end. It's a very natural conclusion that most of the off-topic threads are made by people from those two boards.

>>15556536
>mfw went back to /b/ a month ago to see how it was doing
Haven't been on since 2013 when it started getting really bad. Mass influx of graduated summerfags posting porn and flooding the board with pointless shit saying "/b/ was always like this" whenever you'd complain.

>>15557935
your mistake is thinking those kinds of users are 'from those boards' rather than just a feature of the 4chan userbase

4chan is an out of touch boomer forum at this point

>>15557935
There are far too many off topic threads, including this one. But that's on the mods. They delete perfectly on topic threads and don't touch shit like this.

>>15557952
And that's a good thing.

>>15557943
Last time I tried to look at that board it wasn’t even porn anymore. You used to be able to get good porn there. Now it’s just a bunch of losers trying to trade discord invites.
>>15557935
The off-topic stuff about virginity will take over the board long before /pol/bait does because the /pol/ stuff is actually moderated.
What’ll really happen though is it’s gonna become a pop-culture board with tons of threads about Martin vs Tolkien, Dune and Harry Potter
The velocity of posts will pick up and bury the kind of stuff that takes an hour or so to get a response on

>>15557968
the HP threads are actually relevant though, not because HP is worth analyzing for its own sake but because of how important it is to the masses

>>15557968
It's all people trading pics of their cocks.

>>15557968
>What’ll really happen though is it’s gonna become a pop-culture board with tons of threads about Martin vs Tolkien, Dune and Harry Potter

/lit/ has always talked about popular literature to a limited extent. Heck, /lit/ actually used to LIKE A Song Of Ice And Fire. We didn't turn on GRRM until the wait for TWOW really started to drag, and Martin's hackery became obvious to everybody.

/lit/ has never been a purely highbrow board, there's always been room for talking about popular books, young adult, fantasy, science fiction, and schlock. And I honestly don't mind that. At least that's discussion about actual books, which is more than I can say for the political threads. I'd rather talk about GRRM than talk about Trump on this board any day of the week.

Better than that
Zoomer straight out of /x/

>>15556282

>>15557991
/x/ for a time was all oldfag /pol/ which is actually primordial /b/. Now it's all horny zoomers posting about succubi and astral projecting their cocks into eachothers mouths trying to get posted on creepypasta yt channels.

>>15557995
Based boomers, zoomies can't even compete

>>15558001
Fuck off boomer

>>15557976
Yeah but I think it’ll get more frequent not because of any merits of the book, but because everybody has either read it or can shitpost about it without having read it.
Rowling herself is a meme factory too plus all the celebrity personalities involved with the movies, ect

>>15557984
Again it’s not really about the specific books, it’s about using the books as a launchpad to discuss a wider multimedia franchise rather than the book. It’s used as a sort of excuse to touch on everything from celebrity gossip, to movies, to politics and hating women, etc

It’s not so much about them being books that everybody has read (like To Kill a Mockingbird or Catcher in the Rye wouldn’t fall into this category) but books that you can shitpost about without even having read it.
And again it’ll all come down to the breezy, casual posts bumping the lower reply ones off the catalogue really quick

>>15558027
The answer to that is to gatekeep and be elitist. I keep telling you guys we need to behave more like /a/. /a/ ruthlessly patrols their board culture and we should do the same. They don't hesitate to mock and belittle people who don't know what they're talking about.

>>15558026
I'm fucking 24 retard. Started posting on /b/ when I was like 11.

literally the worst people here are the lefty redditors who come to this board because its one of the "safe" ones, and might also browse /mu/ or even /his/

>>15558094
I don't fucking care what people's political leanings are as long as they actually read. That's the REAL problem. Left-wing, right-wing, whatever, so many threads are made by people who clearly haven't read any relevant books on the subject and who blatantly have no idea what they're talking about.

fuck this image

>>15558104
>so many threads are made by people who clearly haven't read any relevant books on the subject and who blatantly have no idea what they're talking about
Capped this from a thread where OP couldn't understand the definition of intrinsic, while he was arguing that language had intrinsic meaning.

>>11931854
>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc.

>>15556200
Why are dummies like the OP posting irrelevant, non-/lit/ threads about their invidious political views ("boomers straight out of /pol/") on this board?

Yes. I came here after I saw a thread about Ezra Pound in the home.

>>15557935
I agree.

>>15556282
If you wait long enough, youll eventually become a boomer
>tfw saw this pic going around in 2010
>now it's true

>>15556200
yes, but we're getting invaded like some boards during summer, i guess it's because quarantine + political stuff
we need to purge fake "books for this", these new people don't even read, it's simply opinions straight out of their asses and links from pol
