Why are western fiction writers such cuckolds? You never see anything like this in japanese fantasy.

>> No.14042688

Burton (writing 400 years ago) makes jokes four hundred years ago about men being "horn-mad" i.e. not just ignoring ("winking at") getting cucked but also actively enjoying it. So, well, it's traditional, apparently, and not just a symptom of capitalism or the information age.

Which is the more pathetic waste of space? I used to think bronies were the absolute scum of the earth but lately, more and more I think weebs need to be exterminated like cockroaches.

It goes all the way back to the conception of heracles. That's why you start with the greeks.

Lol wtf Japanese fiction has way more cuckoldry than Western. Japanese men are probably more neurotic and sexually perverse than Jews. It goes back decades if not centuries. I read a jap novel from literally any period and all the familiar psychosexual complexes are there. Their high art and their pop culture anime shit alike is all infested with it. They are a nation of Ataru Moroboshis and Gimpei Momois.

You could say the same of Westerners. Bear in mind that the book you're reading was written by a woman.

Shut up you retarded weeb. You have some weird fucked up idealistic notion of Japanese culture and morality—the faggot inverse of the generalisation that Japs are all pervert freaks. Besides I bet you think any mention of cuckoldry or even the faintest whiff of sexuality counts as degeneracy. 90% of the Western canon and medieval and ancient literature would probably fail to meet your gay moral standards formed by interacting with low IQ subhumans on imageboards

I love this book but you're definitely right, there's an entire cuck element throughout. Main character spends the last third of the novel running around with the girl he loves trying to find her lost fiancee for her LMFAO. Still an amazingly written book in my opinion. Not reading the others though.
