Sounds cool. If anyone wants to set one of these up in the uk I might consider coming.

>>19291891
You do it.

>>19291884
I'm trans(mtf), am I allowed to come or rather should I come?

What do you guys mean when you say eggshell-walking culture? Do you just want to say slurs in public or something? I've literally never experienced this.

>>19292034
Huxley...Bradbury...Orwell to name a few

>>19292034
idk where you from boy im guessin you aint been to a uni or nothin which just as well a smaller bubble in the bigger bubble might be bettern bein outside the bubbles

>>19292044
All dystopian fiction can be interpreted to align with the views of the reader. If people aren't discussing them it's because they're trite and platitudinous and has nothing to do with any "eggshell-walking culture". I've heard once or twice some criticisms of Orwell by my peers for his communist past (or rather, his betrayal of it), though generally mentioning such novels will be met with disinterest at worst.
>>19292054
I'm currently attending university. I agree that relatively few people within this sort of environment don't read /lit/ novels since there's usually a rather high percentage of women in undergraduate English programs, and they tend to oppose so-called classic literature for a variety of reasons. But I've never been in a situation where I feel obliged to censor my language or opinions anymore than is usual for me. What exactly do you mean?

>>19292149
>don't read
That should be read, sorry.

>>19292149
>anymore than is usual for me
bummer broski sounds like youre the right crackfree coconut for this volcano demon luau

stay frosty i guess man

Ask for forgiveness and not permission.

George Floyd isn't real. His actual name is Carmine Bronson. He lives in my town under protective custody. If only you shitlibs knew.

>>19292149
>disinterest at worst.
You claim to be in college. Fucking lol they must have pulled the standards alllll the way down.

>dystopian fiction can be interpreted to align with the views of the reader
Wrong. The problems went over your head.

>trite and platitudinous and has nothing to do with any "eggshell-walking culture"
t. hasn't read them—or worse—heaven forfend—you did read them and you're retarded.

I got an STD as an indirect result of one of these meetups and it was unironically worth it. Protip though. The guy with the mustache is NOT who he says he is.

>>19292226
I remember 2 mustache guys, 3 if you include the waiter, 4 if you include the blonde "chick" whose upper lip needs waxing in the corners no offense C but fix that shit

>>19292199
The only author you mentioned in your shortlist of yours who is of any genuine literary merit is Huxley. I have read and understood their works, it's only that it's incredibly easy to devise an interpretation for any of them which affirms whatever previously held beliefs the reader had going into them. The vast majority of so-called sex-positive leftists will have finished Brave New World believing it to be a critique on capitalism.

>>19292271
>whatever previously held beliefs the reader had going into them
yo man this aint has nothing to do wit the forms portrayed in them novels is you a fucking retard :') aints got NOTHIN ON NOTHIN to do wit it

>I have read and understood their works
yeahs you can put them words together but it dont mean nothin yous like the crow that gets convincerated into talking by the fox and drops the seed know what im sayin all you be doin is convictioning us yall doesnt know whatchall sayin and thinkin about dawg

>>19292271
You should have read *my* dystopian novel about the Mind Goblin Named Deez.

>>19292291
Deez?

>>19292305
Yes, the Mind Goblin Deez NUTS.

>>19292312
LISTEN HERE, YOU DUMB FUCKING SMART ASS! YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING FUNNY? TELL ME ONE JOKE THAT IS OF LITERARY VALUE. RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW!

Everyone who comes to these is always some kind of poindexter.

>>19292288
You're retarded and the way you communicate annoys me.

shame this isn't in europe, i would just be screaming nigger as loud as possible

>>19292291
I'd love to read it, anon :)

>>19292271
lol the post went right over this kid's head kek what a beautiful response to getting called an idiot for misusing the english language and for being unable to think about huxxy and welly

>>19292321
Why did the Hegel cross the road? Because you can't dumb down Spinoza and John the Scot from the other side of a road.

>>19292333
With these trips we'll make sure there's a way you get to do it. Some of the bars nearby are pretty tolerant.

>>19292199
dystopian fiction is for women and teens

>>19292339
It's a work in...

Is this the one where it turns out brains and nervous systems are alien parasites that were working all along to create 5G technology עירוב which will allow them to break free of their flesh hosts and finally walk around free?

>>19292424
Who do you think I am? F. Gardner? But thanks I'll steal that plot anyway.

>>19292424
damn look at all those little hands and little feet imagine how fast it can run loping through suburban backyards at night

I’ll actually be in Boston around the time of this meetup

>>19292495
Time to nut up or fuck up

>>19292495
omg! make sure you read up on F. Gardner, Gaddis + Squick

>>19292603
>>19292679
I’m definitely not attending

I'll likely be attending but just a warning: If any one of you try and say some racist shit in front of me I will fucking punch your face in. That's all.

Why don't you fags just be part of the now infamous "grub" writing gang and kowtowing to the queen of Boston's literary scene (Celeste Ng)?

>>19292818
Tell us who you are when you show up so we can niggle you to tears.

>>19292824
one of my neighbors is a failed fiction writer and used to do some shit at grub street. i've hoped to run into him so I could ask him his thoughts on the grub street shit, but I haven't seen him in a while.
>>19292818
lol a lit meetup fight would be great, maybe I will go

>>19292818
N

I'd love to go to a lit meetup in western Australia. Maybe I'll organise one sometime if I become aware of any lit users who are in Perth.

>>19291884
I would go to one of these but I don’t read /lit/ books. I read Rommel, Napoleon, Luther, Overton, Hobbes. I think the only /lit/ book I read half way through was by Mishima and I stopped only because i was reading it online. I tried the Iliad but it wasn’t doing it for me.

>>19292826
>>19292850
All I'm saying is try that internet racist shit in person and ill knock you the fuck out. It's the real world and not your little internet racist safe space.

>>19292864
I bench 315, highly doubt you’re knocking anyone out baby boy.

>>19292864
you're being cringe rn. i dont think anyone at the lit meetup will be racist and your anticipating that is only so you can come off like a tough guy

>>19292868
doesn't mean anything, if you think you can beat me you are dead wrong

>>19292872
Nigger, now I know you’re trolling.

>>19292877
nigger faggot kike cunt pussy spic, i know that you can't bench 315, but i know that i have a black belt

>>19292883
i have gun

>>19292868
Funny how every internet racist is supposedly a super buff white guy. Also >>19292872
>>19292883 is pretending to be me.

>>19292888
well boo hoo, that benching sure helped you then

>>19292894
>what is /fit/
Why is every internet racist a skinny, glassed faced loser to you? You can’t even recognize your own bias, that says a lot about your cognitive function.

>>19292894
retard i'm not pretending to be you i just wanted to join the action
anyway he probably can bench that, but he's still retarded pussy austist that would cry after i'm done with him

>>19292004
Cease and desist.

>>19292895
two gun. my arms baby. big big big.

>>19292895
Different guy dum dum.

>>19292901
too bad your dick is small small small

>>19292901
Do you have a license for those small arms? Kek

>>19292905
Well if you had read the Greeks you’d know that small penis is VERY masculine. Big penis is like a nigger, barbaric, dirty, uncivilized. It’s a shame I have an 8in schlong. Been lookin at penis dehancment surgery.

i'm trans btw

We had a guy get forcibly removed from a bar once lol

>>19292921

STOP PRETENDING TO BE ME YOU STUPID KEK

>>19292863
Sounds like you'd fit in tbqh senpai.

>>19292937
yep, nobody here actually reads, except maybe a couple of specialized scholars

>>19292857
There's always at least a couple of people within driving distance of you. Unless maybe you're in a remote area of a former soviet republic or something, even then you could still see them occasionally.

>>19292864
You wear a green shirt and I'll wear a black shirt and we can figure it out from there. There's kind of an alley.

>>19292972
hell, i'll come dressed up as a clown, i can still knock you the fuck out

>>19292996
a literal clown or your usual streetwear the combat boots grease stained black pants awkward blouse

>>19293013
stop shit talking me or i'll call my mom, she'll sort you out

"911 what's your emergency"
"Yes I'm outside Brattle books and there's a fight happening"
"Can you describe the participants?"
"Well one's wearing a clown costume it looks like"
"We're dispatching a car"

>>19292929
lol what bar were you guys at? I remember a few years ago the meetup was at trident, but I don't think they even sell booze.

>>19293076
LOL the sail loft of all places

>>19293019
"I know I want them distracted, he also has a chainsaw in his backpack"
Boston police say the two clowns were part of a 4chan group that dedicated each day of Clown Halloween to posting creepy things. According to the WBZ newsroom reporters pulled some really great tweets out of the group, however officers on scene say that group is for real and they get very low and Casos nerveis will spasms while doing this post.

>>19293076
Trident has beer and wine now. We also move on from Trident to bars if people want to change it up after a bit.

>>19293085
The legendary sail loft days...

>>19293085
>>19293136
lmao the sail loft?? that's unreal. i figured you guys would go to some shithole dive bar like the tam. scare all the emerson students.

>>19291884
If I go will I be the only woman?

>>19293390
Not with that attitude.

>>19293397
What?

what are you niggas even gonna do there?

>>19293554
Suck each other off of course

>>19293554

>>19293554
probably they will awkwardly try to talk about books and then talk about memes and then they will scatter

>>19293554
Circle jerking to a picture of guenon, cant wait to coom on his face with mah bois

>>19293536
A bird in the hand is a man in the sand.

>>19293776
There's a guy there that organizes a Guenon read group (where they might do something like that...) but to get an invite you have to ask at the main Boston meetup "Where the Rosicrucians even real?" to show you're interested. If he's there and you seem like a possible fit the organizer guy will give you an index card with a link or something. He told me to spread the word.

>>19293856
No, I told you to spread your asshole.

>>19293868
You sound like the Frithjof Schuon reading group guy. The Guenon reading group guy warned me about you.

>>19293856
I had to ask three times before I was invited? Not sure where you got your info

I also was asked to put up posters for a fake Rosicrucian meetup (yes really)

>>19293843
is this a dick joke or womething

>>19293886
That was the earlier group. The new organizer was a member of it but then the previous organizer moved to Japan. You'll probably get an email if you haven't already, if not I think the guy said he wanted to do same place and time as the old group.

>>19293856
this shit?

>>19293913
Is that the end game of the lgbtqp agenda? What in the hell is Boston up to?

>>19292004
Do you think anyone would be able to even tell?

>>19293913
Were they even real?

will butterfly be there

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS PHOTO PLEASE

>>19294376
I don't actually know but it looks kinda chill

>>19294376
It isn’t the lit meetup

>>19294438
nah

>>19294376
It's an r/books meetup

>>19291891
same

What if I'm only recently getting into /lit/ and would like /lit/ frens in the area? I worry that I wouldn't be able to contribute much to the conversation.

>>19294376
You just know.

>>19295252
Ironic shit IIT aside we talk about all kinds of stuff, often spilling over into current events and funny anecdotes. Also with talking about books it's as much a thing as talking about the ideas in them, and being a part of that conversation is mostly just a function of in what ways you agree or disagree with a thing and why. It's pretty low key mang

>>19295280
you just know what?

>>19295345
The ones I've been too involved threatening bar staff, chucking bricks, and sprinting through bookstores... and playing that game where you see who can say the word for black people the loudest

>>19295375
wow that is poggers my guy

>>19295933
Charlotte NO.

>>19295944
(yes.)

>>19292226
Hahaha please share the fuckin story

>>19295375
I must say that that /lit/ meeting sounds .... lit

Has there ever been a /lit/ meetup in SoCal? Doubt it... probably too many beaners.

>>19296520
Proud Mexican here. Post a location and we'll see how tough you are in person; it's been a while since I've knocked someone out.

>>19296520
I shouldn't of even wasted my time responding to you. I know for a fact that you won't post an addy, bitch-made pussy. You're probably a nigger too, we've been put you monkeys in your place since the 90's

When's the Chicago meetup happening?

>>19297994
10/30 did you miss the thread?

>>19292034
…. You sure? whenever going to even a periferally taboo subject, everyone, and I mean almost EVERYONE has to put a disclaimer of “I dont believe this” or “This is horrible, but”, and “of course this isnt respecting the capacity of women”
For anything that could be construed to not be boilerplate nicities.

>>19298066
If that's true can you link the thread?

NC meetup when?

>>19299021
How about a bar in Raleigh? Maybe near NCSU.

>>19299066
Ok where and when?

Would I be the only girl?

>>19296520
SoCal here, gotta stay away from San Diego and places like Chula Vista, you know the real beaner areas. Lots of SoCal anons I’m sure, how many are white is debatable.

>>19299744
I take that back, San Diego would be our best bet.

>>19292871
uhhh why would they not be racist? most people here are fundamentally racist, it's not just for giggles. if the topic comes up and no one at a meeting of /lit/izens airs racist views, then it's either full of pussies or liars.

>>19299768
I’m not overtly racist though, if a black anon showed up I’m not gonna call him a nigger and tell him to fuck off. Only if he’s acting niggerish of course, but I highly doubt a black guy browsing lit is going to be acting niggerish. In any case how many noggers actually browse /lit/, probably zero. If anything id probably jokingly call someone a nig nog or something.
