I dunno. I thought I'd try making fun of transgendered people, and vegans, and wacko leftists in general in a book form and self publishing it, for this exact purpose, but nobody really gave a shit, gave a ton of copies away for free, sold like two, no real reaction otherwise.

Offending people just ain't what it used to be I guess.

attack the alt-right, Trump, popular conservative writers, commentators, theorists, and pundits. Point out the flaws in corrupt wall street capitalism, crony capitalism, and other perceived abuses of capitalism. Focus on the conservatives newfound love and adoration of a Russia led by an ex-KGB operative, with anti-American motives. Point out the excesses and corruption of the military/industrial complex. Attack fake news echo chambers, and those that follow them. Expose the hypocrisy of politically active American churches. Attack the SJW special interest groups (too many to name here). Attack fringe groups like flat earthers and anti-vaxxers. Accuse everyone of being a false flag operation, actually opposed to the things they purportedly support. Note to OP: this may take more than one book. It may become a mission from god.

Well yeah, I figured that out already. There's no way a publisher would touch it, as most of them are still sjws trying to get minorities published. I heard Milo has his own publishing company, and I thought about sending it over there, but I could never find any info at all about it, or if they even accept submissions.

Creating controversy isn't difficult at all. In addition to what other anons have written—misogyny, racial slurs, etc.—the best way to draw controversy is to sexualize children, especially to satirize or even put an ambiguous spin on child abuse and child rape. Writers such as Peter Sotos will be controversial in almost any context.

>> No.11205868

>>11205834
Just saying, don't take that experience to mean you can't offend.

>> No.11205878

>>11205868
I know what you mean, though. If you're a nobody, then nobody cares if you're offensive. If you're a big name, or attached to a big name, ie you or your company has a lot of money, then people are just dying to be offended by you.

>> No.11205888

>>11205858
Noone but throbbing gristle fans and closet freaks read that shit. How does a writer create controversy without resorting to dull dimwitted thrusts at common decency? What ideas are challenging, thought provoking, etc. At one time Freud was a household name.

>> No.11205892

>>11205858
Yeah but no one reads Sotos for his art (if you do you probably have Daddy issues will end up killing yourself).
I would argue that the most daring book to get into the average Waterstones is the most controversial book seeing as it's still in public reach.

Well, the idea would be for a beloved or even just a popular public figure to write about such topics, not someone obscure like Sotos. If Dan Brown were to drop a new novel in which Robert Langdon came involved in a conspiracy of religious pedophiles, and if he were to show sympathy toward them and their behavior—not support, just sympathy—he would be crucified. His name would be all over ever paper and news program.

If he were to then give interviews doubling down on the themes, whew . . .

write about sexual caste system or techne cannibalizing human life on earth. just ignore retarded nerds and women’s needs or ideas, they have no idea what they’re on about and are basically nonsentient animals. Houellebecq’s work already touches on the easier of the two issues. Someone who wrote convincingly about the death of the biosphere would ignite a fire storm. will never happen because people are cowardly and think technology is value neutral

One of the biggest bestsellers of all-time was originally called "Ten Little Niggers".
I think the biggest out-rage I can think of is if Tarantino came out as a huge racist as opposed to a cop-killer-liberal and claim he used the latter platform as an excuse to get away with calling "black folk" niggers.

There's no need for a spiel about his rejection and how offended he was since the other person obviously is getting his hoots off.
