Is this based on interacting with anyone? I don't get it. Is the thread implying that a woman would find this taste objectionable or "too male" or something? Honestly seems like a boogeywomyn.

Current gf likes these. Actually every girl I've dated had decent taste. My first gf in high school gave me Maldoror and Story of the Eye lmao. Imagine being a buttmad incel and legitimately thinking that all women are either retarded and basic harry potter fans or seething SJWs who only read black disabled lesbian erotica or whatever. Sad. But I see how someone would think that- like "oh i can't get gf bc all women are shallow, not because i'm an insufferable misogynist with a completely distorted view of reality".
