Can somebody on /lit/ explain why Bret Easton Ellis is so hated? Preferably without mentioning his Twitter account. I personally love his novels (well except Glamorama, I thought that was pretty weak) and i'm interested as to why he is disliked on here.

The reasons I tend to see are that he's misogynist, a hack, and he took shots at a dead Faggot Walrus.

It's mostly ad hominem reasons, /lit/ doesn't factor in literary merit.

ad hominem' that's.. pretentious, but its still a new one. Thanks /lit/

He is really dated and he rubs people the wrong way all the time. He really is one of those authors that writes the same book, over and over again.

Just look at him in that picture.

Half of it is because he is an absolute cunt at times.

The other half is that his novels aren't that good and all are all similar. Really all of his worth reading is American Psycho.

He is a cunt most of the time because he thinks any press is good press. He would die if he could get onto mainstream tv.

American Psycho is good.

Is he a misogynist because of American Psycho or because of his tweets?
