i don't know. i haven't bothered to form an original opinion of his works, like everything else in life, so i'm not sure what all the hubabub is about.

...which was great unless you were a slave, or a woman.

the good unbiased way to talk about history is to assume we only care about white landowning men (the normal ones)

Enjoy living by 19th century standards instead of pursuing a happy, open relantionship

He's always right. History was not kind to women. Really history was not kind to almost everyone, but clearly being a slave would've been worse than not being a slave. Better to be realistic than try to revise history

/spoiler]He is kind of a cuck though.[/spoiler]

Do you think there will ever come a time when all that can be said about John Green has been said and all that has been said about John Green doesn't need reiterating?

God I hope not

Nothing really. I've been a fan of the vlogbrothers for years, not too long ago they were small as hell and nobody gave a crap about them but even then they were enthusiastic and insightful. They do a helluva lot of charity work and have spawned one of the few non-toxic communities on the internet. I hold there content up there with homestarrunner, not in quality, but in that good people are involved in what they produce and you can tell. As for his writing, I liked looking for alaska when I was a sophomore in high school. That's all I've read, TFIOS seemed to try too hard. What I did read wasn't bad. It made me want to read a lot more by other people and it gave me some healthy perspective when it came to girls in high school. /lit/ doesn't know shit about him to be completely honest. I think his writing is mediocre but he's not churning out mindless horse shit.

Not much to be happy about when you get your standards as low as slut's.
