Because it will (at least in the short run) change literary discourse more than any other critique.

Basically this. And if Pewdiepie becomes a Joycefag then he'll officially be /ourguy/.

[Anonymous No.12554868]

Youtubers are anathema to /lit/ and literariness in general. Every idiot who reads in imitation of celebrity lowers the level of discourse significantly.

I think it would be better to have the kids and teens gain more interest in reading "decent" books that are not half baked generic novellas. But im pretty sure that less than 1% of his viewers changed they literacy habits because of him, and even less will stick to it in the long run.

Pewdiepie is imitating us, not the other way around. By getting him to read maximalist literature, we'll be encouraging an entire generation to read the greatest canonical works. Mishima is already pretty highbrow but we can do better.

He's a degenerate, a cultural cancer. He's more effective at stopping guys grow up into men than testosterone blockers.

You can never have real friendship.

[Anonymous No.12555148]

No. You personally will ever have a real friendship until you mature as a person and develop some self-respect.

no self-respecting adult would watch a prick like pewdiepie for entertainment

It'd be more interesting to see him read something that would actually have an impact on him rather than on his fans. I think he should do the Dan Carrlon marathon audiobook history and then take an introduction to anthropology course. That would be funny to see.

so absolutely nothing on youtube is as transcendentally intelligent as you?

[Anonymous No.12556012]

>>12555977
There's quality, intelligent stuff on youtube, but it doesn't come from "youtubers." It comes from recordings of lectures, etc. Talking to a camera so zoomers can play friend simulator isn't particularly intelligent, even if it is discussing "high minded" things like Mishima. I've seen "book reviews" on youtube, they tend to be just summaries with "I [did/didn't] like it tacked on. Discussion of intelligent things doesn't make one intelligent, especially without learned appreciation.

I'm not, and judging by how valiantly you're defending PDP, you took the friend simulator thing to heart. The man doesn't know jack shit about literature. Sure, it's nice he wants to educate people who think video games are cool, but that doesn't mean anything, really.
