I make jokes about that stuff and never get barraged at all. You just need to have no one read your work.

>Why can't writers joke about race, gender and sexual orientation without being barraged by activist literary critics and disgruntled "humanities" professors?

Why can't academics criticize malicious racism?

>It seems like literature departments have been co-opted by certain political ideologies instead of ideologies focused on aesthetics/philosophy.

Racist jokes are part of aestheticism and philosophy in general? This is your idea of sublime? God, you're such a vulgar person.

Mods, delete this shit.

Can you provide literary examples that are not Milo or some other worthless culture baiter?

Coetzee does it and the NYRB adores him

Because it's essential for them to maintain dominance over the culture. The contemporary left (thanks to the influence of some dead Frenchmen with bad haircuts) sees everything as a series of power struggles and acts according to what they believe will best allow them to dominate their opponents.

V. S. Naipaul
Michel Houellebecq
Ricardo Duchesne
Kai Murros


Also many of the classics are being "re-examined" for bigotry, misogyny, racism and taken off high-school and college reading lists if they break certain "norms"...even the bible is borderline "hate literature" according to most profs

V. S. Naipaul “His ‘A Bend in the River,’ which starts with the line, ‘The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.’ And I always think about that line, and I think about his novels when I’m thinking about the hardness of the world sometimes, particularly in foreign policy, and I resist and fight against sometimes that very cynical, more realistic view of the world. And yet, there are times where it feels as if that may be true.”

Not to mention

That immediately shows Hebdo as redemption (i have a subscription, you may have to pirate a back issue)


>Born in Puerto Rico, Duchesne studied History at McGill University and later at Concordia University, under the supervision of George Rudé. In 1994 he received a doctorate in Social & Political Thought at York University. His Dissertation, "All Contraries Confounded: Historical Materialism and the Transition-to-Capitalism Debate",[1] was awarded the "Doctoral Prize Award" for best dissertation of the year.[2] In 1995, Duchesne was appointed assistant professor in the department of social science at the University of New Brunswick, ****where he has remained since.****

Im having trouble finding anything but celebration of the first two, plus Ricardo seems to be tenured at UNB.

And there arent really any good news articles. Could you find them?

Well, we CAN joke. Those are called comedians. George carlin being one of my favorites...now outright plainly saying kill all niggers, no pun at all, liberals call that hate speech. That's a literal threat to someone's life based on someone's race, if you're legit serious... (And I saved my song you niggers!)

>ricardo tenured at UNB
