Just as bad are the maladjusted misfits who've decided to make /lit/ their identity and ask for advice on how a depressed, lone wolf intellectual would act and dress and how to attract art hoes. They usually frequent shelf/stack threads because expressing your desired identity through purchases is easier and much less risky than discussing the books themselves.

Both these issues seem too ingrained in 4chan itself at this point.

Eh, fuck off. /lit/ is hardly, hardly the worst example of this. If you don't like it, just leave, but it's not going to get better until this site changes overall, or tolerance becomes less popular in culture, so there's less of a perceived need to react against it.

My point is that there’s nothing inherently different (speaking of intelligence of course) between a Euro and an American. The average IQ of America is 98 and the average iq of Europe (with all individual country averages averaged) is around 98. I’m sick and tired of this meme that Americans are dumb just for being born in America.

It's like if I complained about capeshit on /tv/. I wish people would ignore that garbage, I hate seeing discussions about it, and I think people here should be better than that, but I accept that people are going to talk about it, and they are entitled to do so according to the rules of the board. Other boards could be even worse in this regard: /v/ could be discussing mobile games, and /lit/ could be discussing modern romance or fantasy novels, which they make that and this board much worse, than they are now, and I could complain about it, but it's not something that can or should be corrected by mods.

This doesn't reflect the fact that as social justice has become more popular in society and more mainstream, /pol/'s influence has immensely increased.

If the popularity of Nazism as proportional to the prominence of Jewry in Germany, this would be a valid comparison, but that is not the case. Even if Jewry was equivalent to social justice for /pol/, or 4chan at large, that would not make it a valid basis for censorship.

There are plenty of communities that ideologically censor people, but this place isn't one of them, and however much you or lament it, or complain about it, it will not change, and you are not producing valid arguments for why it should be removed, especially when there are communities out there that will suit you.

No it wasn't. Jews were always a comparatively small minority in Germany, it correlated to a rise in antisemitism, not in any fact about Jews.

>Correlation doesn't imply causation.
True, but until a better explanation arises for the increased prominence of /pol/, that's a good explanation of any. It's like if I somebody asked why there were so many threads on the election of a certain country, and the answer was given that the election was occurring at that time, and that was contradicted by saying correlation doesn't imply causation, that contradiction in and of itself would be no less valid than yours.

Reactionaryism, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, is explained either by a crisis or a upturn in progressiveness. In the case of Nazi Germany, the former was the cause, and in the case of 4chan being taken over by edgy reactionaries, it's the latter cause.
>it correlated to a rise in antisemitism, not in any fact about Jews.
That was entirely part of my point. I don't see what was the object in repeating part of exactly what I said. I was explaining that there is a possible and apparent causes to the reaction against social justice on /pol/ and 4chan, which was its increased prominence, while that is not the explanation for the rise of fascism in Germany, (and you only explained the means, not the ultimate cause, which I think is fundamentally different in both cases), which is why your comparison fails.

Again, even if the rise of Nazism in Germany and rise of edgy reactionaryism on 4chan were parallel, that's not a valid reason for censorship, however wrong or rightly objectionable it might be.
>My posts get deleted all the time on ideological grounds, so that's also a lie.
Irrelevant straw man strictly as far this particular discussion is concerned. I would have to see what sort of posts you make and why they are deleted. If they are done so purely on ideological grounds, then I can not approve of their removal. If you started initially complaining about the ideological bias in moderation, I would have been more sympathetic to your position, but you did not do that, and it seems like shifting on your part.
>I won't leave, though. If you don't like it, tough shit. You can leave.
Bizarrely irrelevant statement. It's not as if I complained about people making the complaint about /pol/, and had I done that, or suggested that's how this board would be improved, making such a statement would be comparable to my suggestion that you leave, but I did not. I am merely explaining that the increase prominence of /pol/ thread is explainable by current trends in culture, that, barring some larger cultural change, this will not change here, and that the suggestion as made here that >>12637344 of removing them is wrong, and to avoid seeing it, for better or worse, you must leave, because it will likely not go away, and it's not proper to be censored through moderation.

Again, if I said anti-/pol/ posts should be removed, the suggestion I should leave would valid, but I did not make that suggestion.

No one is talking about IQ (biggest meme ever) and no one is suggesting that Americans are stupid. The point here is that all the shit on 4chan comes from Americans. The memes, the dumb and retarded and unfunny memes, the flooding and the spamming, the shit-quality threads, the lazy irony, the degenerate lewd content, the verbal violence, the racist meanness: all of this comes from Americans, because it's always the American individual that compulsively uses the internet to attack others, to mock, to ruin things. It's the American individual that laughs for poor-quality jokes and shabby irony. Every time I had the chance to participate in a thread about lesser known European authors (threads where you Americans never, literally never set foot) it was a paradise: only kind and educated people discussing things with honesty, accepting and giving recommendations, making jokes but in a peaceful atmosphere. And, no, I'm not describing reddit (inb4), I'm talking about /lit/. On the contrary, every thread about English or American authors is always full of shit, full of shit in the most retarded and memetic and annoying way. That's it.

I've basically stopped reporting posts ever since I got a fucking three-day ban for "abusing the report function", despite the fact that the thread I reported also wound up getting deleted. Fuck the mods, they're shit and they've always been shit.

Very reactive over the internet, you would imagine bot seeing the other person would make these over reactive people less present, but maybe a lack of a human face makes him think hes debating some automated machine, in where he is the correct one no matter what.

All right, fuckers, I've got a plan to fix /lit/. Pic very much related: my plan essentially involves this board acting a lot more like /a/.

I don't know how many of you guys regularly go to /a/, but it's one of the most elitist, mean-spirited boards on this site. They have zero tolerance for newfags and they do not believe in coddling or spoonfeeding people who just show up asking about shit. They will bully and harass newfags until they shut up and lurk more.

This is what we need to do to the /r9k/ posters. We need to harass and bully them until they either shut up and lurk, or leave and go kill themselves. We need to become as elitist as we pretend we are.

The problem is newfags coming in thinking that everyone of the board is a expert of their boards respective hobby, things kinda like how the news thinks 4chan is a "super elite hacking site that you should never get on!" kind of thing, yea a like a few years ago it was a tiny bit more literary focused, but its really and honestly not too different.

[Anonymous No.12637900]

the mods are shit. Off-topic threads thinly veiled as related to literature should get deleted.

there should be a /yootoober/ board and a /self-help/ board to act as containment for off topic bullshit.

too many people have come here, especially post 2016, who really have fuck all interest in literature......and they're generally tolerated and possibly even in the majority now.

we have 300+ replies to threads about youtuber gossip and genuine threads about literature die.

its beyond saving.

That's an argument you can make in those threads, retard. If that's not good enough, and you need to have mods remove it because of how abhorrent, intolerant, racist, problematic, triggering, etc. it is, than, seriously, fuck off to reddit. Ineptly complaining about /pol/ isn't necessarily worse than /pol/, but it sure as fuck doesn't do shit or make any place better.

And that is annoying, but "so[i]," "cuck," have long ago been as obnoxious as "SJW," which you rarely see on /pol/ anymore. Using reddit as an insult is still valid, because the quality of being a intellectual hugbox that is reddit, (or rather, individual or ideologically similar subreddits, which is really where most people spend their time), is what some people are clamoring for, even if they don't know.

the only way to fix /lit/, and this also goes for the rest of 4chan, and even goes for the rest of the internet too, maybe even real life but i wouldn't know much about that, is to start acting unpredictably. break your trends. everything on this board is just one giant ritual, the exact same threads and posts and templates and frogs and wojaks being posted over and over again. its the same song and dance, day after day, including these fucking meta threads complaining about how shit the board is. IT'S THE SAME THING EVERY TIME, ON EVERY SINGLE BOARD. LITERAL REPETITION. just try and stop. i mean it, next time you go to make a post or a thread or post a picture, take a second and think "am i being original?" put down the pepes for a second. does he really properly convey the point you're trying to get across? ok maybe you don't have a gf and that makes you sad, but do you really need to share it with everyone? it's been done before. it's always been done before. just try creating original thought. just make an attempt. please just make an attempt.

mods allowed the current /lit/ culture to develop and take hold by not deleting low quality and off-topic content.

These responses are case in point of what's wrong with /pol/ crossboarders on /lit/. You guys need to try to fit in a little better. If there are more white than black geniuses, there must be more idiot whites also to account for the mean average difference between the two groups. It's likely that blacks have a higher median average iq if whites have a vastly larger sum of geniuses. I believe it today.

[Anonymous No.12638339]

Here’s a technical solution - a combination of /r9k/‘s “only unique posts" and a minimum character limit. Force people to actually put some thought into their posts. I don't care if it drives away 90% of the traffic so long as the 10% that remains is actually conducive to discussion.

the christfags are unironic. Otherwise I'd agree, but to reform the board we'd first have to get people on /lit/ to actually read books.
iirc /co/ has a weekly fileshare thread. I wish we had something like that. we should organize to improve the online piracy offerings for our fellows too poorfag to buyfag. there are anons RIGHT NOW who have obscure material that's nowhere online and they aren't scanning that shit in for us.
