As opposed to minorities changing everything to fit their narrative because they obviously feel inferior to whites?

Whites invented the written word. Of course they’re better writers.

I'm not white. I'm Asian and have thought about this shit a lot. I've had Asian girls not give me the time of day since they have a no-dating-Asians policy, which made me upset at the time, but then I thought about the artists I love most, like Melville and Faulkner, and wondered if my admiration for them and other canonical writers springs from the same well of 'the West Numbah One!'

In both cases you've got individuals inculcated from birth by a system of values. By nature of how we look, we feel alienated on some level from everyone else, and buy extra hard into mainstream values to compensate. The As-Am girl grows up seeing Ryan Gosling kick ass while Ken Jeong humiliates himself and speaks in a retarded accent. So she unsurprisingly says OMG I wanna date a cute white boy. Likewise, I grow up hearing about 'the classics'- this sanctified list of books that have solidified an indisputable place in literary history- and by no surprise I read them and seek to understand them.

But the reality is that some of the canon is just not that good. I don't know if I read a bad translation of the Iliad, but I thought that shit was awful. And I still gave it a 4 star rating on Goodreads, because of its reputation as the beginning of literature. It's human psychology. Bowing down to the alpha and sniffing his ass until he tells you to stop. Trying to find one positive trait about him since he's so one of the cool kids. And don't give me that bullshit about 'culturally influential'. I'm not a fucking academic- I'd rather read books whose claim toward being a classic is has to do with it being a work that's aesthetically superior.

People who uncritically absorb the canon are borderline NPCs who lack the ability to think original thoughts.

But I find equally annoying the people (especially WHITE people) who rail on about Dead White Men. I fucking hate people like that. Bro, the world is already fucking white. We're talking in a white tongue. None of the countries that our parents flew away from are still culturally intact; they've all been corroded by Westernization, younger generations don't give a flying fuck about traditional values, it's all about internet and iPhones and all that consumerist American bullshit.

That being said I think it's good for everyone to have a voice. Many of your beloved canon authors were probably autists and social failures while they were alive. They captured something true about the time in which they were alive, which could be extrapolated to all time. Sometimes I question whether I'll ever be able to do that in my writing, consumed as I am with the past.

>implying i can't find literature that reinforces my preconceived notions

I doubt OP has ever read the Sufi mystics, or W.E.B. DuBois, or any of the non-white writers who are nonetheless considered classics of literature, philosophy, and religion. I doubt OP has even read Toni Morrison.

>>19101394
Oh well.
Losing my virginity was awful.
I was with a beautiful girl but I watched so much porn in the preceding that I could barely keep it up for her.

I only read classics because this is what qualifies as modern, progressive literature and it is utter garbage.

And no, this is not self published, it's published by Little Brown.

>>19101149
>I only read the classics, contemporary media and philosophy is garbage!
Yes, most of it is fucking garbage

>I stopped reading when literature stopped reinforcing my preconceived notions because I am an effeminate insecure white boy
I'm black and i've only read one black author that i knew was black in my life,


>I need old white men to tell me Im right about everything
I don't go out of my way to read dead white men, they just happen to be the ones saying the most meaningful things most of the time

>>19101170

>only white people are mad about modern academia
You should look into the Ethiopian Orthodox church's fight with American academics over the Americans casting Walatta Petros as a lesbian and Zera Yaqob as a liberal atheist.

It's really common now. Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction and Death Grip. That's where the NoFap cult began, before they took it too far.

>>19101513
There is nothing wrong with porn. Stop being so contrary against sex positivity, chud.

It’s spelled “discus” retard.

>>19101513
Yeah, I've been in those circles for a while but I never took it seriously enough. There's a hackbook called Easy Peasy that really helped me a lot, though. Recommend that for anyone who really wants to quit.

>>19101528
I think it's fine for non-addicts to use in moderation, like 3 or 4 times a week, or whatever works, and *not* choking your dick. But not for me. I'm an addict, who spent his latter teens as a secluded loner and substituted (female) companionship with artificial sexual stimulation. I'm college age and can't remember the last time I felt horny, which is definitely not normal.
And I'd also argue that porn is actually sex-negative, since it accustoms your mind to a level of stimulation that most women would never be able to match.

>>19101392
you seem like an interesting person but so so so far up your own ass

>wow this one school of linguistics popular in English departments that fuses politics, sociology, philosophy and literature is totally the best and held in high regard by actual linguists!

>>19101149
I stopped reading when literature stopped being beautiful and a path to the truth.

>>19101652
you can post an actual argument any time now sweetie

>>19101694
nice rebuttal lmao

>>19101392
I appreciate your input, anon. That must really suck being rejected by women of your own race because they refuse to date fellow Asians. Have you considered moving to an Asian country? You might be better off if you did.

It's fine, those girls definitely had issues, dodged a bullet there. And I've got qualities that I believe in so I'm not concerned.
>Have you considered moving to an Asian country?
I actually spent quite a bit of time in my parents' country after high school, and had a good time there. Felt like a foreigner most of the time but there was something about being in a place where everyone looks like you that was great. Got laid for the first time there too, though in the end that was a miss. I think I would really considering living there if it weren't for the mandatory military service.

>>19101576
It is bad because there is nothing good about it. Le deconstructing gndurr norms just makes it absurd and funny, since it is used in lieu of talent to browbeat tards into actually reading it.

It has less to do with Ryan Gosling and Ken Jeong than your race being largely a bunch of scrawny manlets thanks to a diet of rice and veggies.
99% of white dudes aren’t Ryan Gosling. A 5’6” 135 lb white dude isn’t any more popular with women because of white Hollywood stars. It’s a moggy mog world.
