I can't wait until leftoids are slaughtered in the streets

Nothing will ever be so cathartic

Why do they insist on viewing centuries-old material through a modern lens?

>>16177331
Based

>>16177343
Because it's the only lens they care to view anything from.

>>16177343
Because the author is dead. Better yet, it was never alive in the first place.

>>16177323
Why the fuck would I care about a literal who take on Tumblr? Why should anyone? Why do you?

Elizabeth Bennet was still considered part of the gentry, an economic class defined by being so rich that nobody had to actually work. Pride and Prejudice is a social satire about normal rich people interacting with fuck you rich people. That's what the class division actually was.

Presentism is the easiest way to write an essay on any book. It holds no value because you're applying a moral framework that couldn't possibly have existed at the time. It really isn't an analysis of the work either. You basically just complain about certain aspects of the book and get mad that the author didn't consider this moral viewpoint from the future.

It also comes off as insightful without requiring any historical research from your part.

Friendly reminder: any sort of interpretation is akin to translation and destroys the value of literature

>>16177454
Furthermore, marxism, psychoanalysis, and gender studies are all enemies of literature

>>16177462
one of these is not like the other

>>16177323
Is... Is this not an ironic shitpost?

>>16177466
They are all triple parenthesis bullshit and you should stay away from it

>>16177473
Ok fag

The tumblrite didn't actually read the book and only watched the Keira Knightley movie where they made the Bennet's into a pig farmers.

All three fields were invented by jews, you absolute retard. This isn’t even a /pol/ conspiracy, it’s a fact.

>>16177449
No it doesn't. Every university English class I have been in the professor the gives a lecture about why Presentism is not academically valid after they grade the first paper. But I suppose you meant to the masses it comes off as insightful. In academia you get told to rewrite your paper if you legitimately do this.

don't even bother responding to 'da jooz' posters

Why is it considered the moral duty of the man of a relationship to do whatever "work" is considered in need of being done, while the woman is implicitly already perfect and just in whatever she does?

What is it about lit being "the high IQ" board and ignoring evidence actively being raped into them? I guess lit really is midwit central

>A Jew made something that means it's wrong and bad!!!!
>>16177542
>Jew's are the reason I suck at my life!!! what those black people keep saying whites are the reason they're lives suck? That's ridiculous.

>>16177580
Not that anon, but BLM is a psy-op (only becomes relevant during election years) and Antifa is a terrorist organization. Those are incontrovertible facts.

>>16177580
>A Jew made something that means it's wrong and bad!!!!
Yes

>>16177654
>Antifa is a terrorist organiation
Literally nothing wrong with terrorism, this is why I think so lowly of you jew posters.

>>16177580
Nice projection jew. And yes actually the lives of niggers will always suck in comparison to white society because they cannot compete with whites in anything besides being mules. And for the same reason we no longer need horses to pull carts, we no longer need niggers to pick cotton, but that's all they're good for. They'd geniunely be better off living and competing amongst their own than trying to force them to live amongst a society only those a standard deviation above their normal IQ of 85 can even match average whites. A full 67% of blacks are disadvantaged to average whites from birth purely due to genetics. There is no saving them, only shipping them back will help them,

>>16177332
Not going to happen you psychopath.

>>16177323
imagine reading a book written by a woman

>>16177323
hot take OP is a nigger thank you for coming to my TED talk

>>16177669
>Nice projection jew.
Stopped reading here, you're just a dumb /pol/tard who's opinions are rejected by anyone with a semblance of intelligence. It's why none of you retards are in academia doing anything worthwhile.

>>16177669
Go back

>>16177580
>>A Jew made something that means it's wrong and bad!!!!

Yes?

>>16177332
I can't wait until children are tested for leftism in schools, and those who test positive are psychologically corrected before being allowed to enter society.

>>16177323
Bro. Why are you thinking about this women x men thing while AI is literally taking over everywhere and advancing by huge leaps and bounds as we speak? Take a look at GPT-3 and philosopherai.com and you'll see things are becoming groundbreaking let astonishing; you have to get a better perspective on things; before you get behind the new AI revolution.

>>16177680
it will happen soon. im gonna throw them off helicopters myself.

Love how there's a discussion of toxic masculinity in pic rel, but also several lines down from that discussion the same writer calls women "vulnerable people".

This narrative and its accompanying analysis -- women are all strong and independent and deserve every scrap of praise, but at the same time they're incredibly weak, and vulnerable, and need every scrap of help they can get -- contradict in such a ludicrous and consistent way I can't believe anyone who's taken a moment to think about it genuinely believes it.

Just write a good story and characters. That's all it is. Fuck these people.

This is literally just cope so the woke brigade can read good books without feeling guilty about liking something problematic
