Why is Quinten Scobie aka Book Review so popular on /lit/? None of his videos make no sense and come across as very bourgeois and kleeky, similar to that of a group of University students. Can somebody give me context?

But if you're excluding the book from the video, then it has no substance meaning it's pointless. His video of The Death of the West did not add anything or really propel it's ideas further. You needed to know what the Death of the West was about to sort of get an idea of what was in his head, but even with that knowledge the video did nothing

Q is literally a knock off version of what lil peep was to rap. He isn't even analogous to lil peep. He hides behind a slightly more nuanced version of "HEHE I'M SO EDGY AND RANDOM." It's like he leans into being a schizo because it's what he thinks smart misunderstood individualistic artists act like. It's like a child's surface level understanding of what it means to be artistic, highly individual, and pushing the edge.

He's just an edge lord fag. Not worth a second thought. Not to be taken seriously. Hiding behind a facade of plausible deniability so as to never confront judgement face on because he knows he would never measure up.

He knowingly combines the nihilistic open-secret satanism of post-9/11 Cartoon Network programming with the random humor spastic web show format of Nickelodeon's iCarly programming with subject matter and rhetorical response programming to attract protein powder guzzling post-atheists who grew up in the environment of this pervasive subliminal tv/music programming. It is popular because it's been tried and tested to powerfully program people to throw the biggest tantrums and hide the longest and deepest from God: who is inevitably everywhere, always right, and all-loving/all-forgiving.

It is because something being funny is the result of it breaking a pattern to which we have been accustomed. This is why most memes and jokes are often the following:
- Controversial
- Random
- Shocking
Jokes then become unfunny because a pattern is then created by the repeated contiguity of the perceptions imminent to the joke. This pattern can often be subverted yet again when it becomes ridiculous or uncommon to display. This is when the joke or meme becomes ironic.

I think most people ITT are missing the point of TBC... it really isn’t a character. Q is just a guy and he is funny and he does a good job of making fun of booktubers, annoying reddit faggots like JREG, and /lit/izens , which is probably why there is so much disdain in this thread. Go outside, get off /lit/, go to the gym, and read a motherfucking book. This thread has more lengthy commentary on a youtube channel than most threads on actual books. /lit/, twitter, and youtube are a waste of your time.
