Why is literally every single poster here a pseudo-intellectual? What about /lit/ attracts people who feel a need to posture as cultured and intelligent?

>>14351687
A deep longing (neglected) desire for acknowledgement, that we here in our little niche obscurity, sequestered into this utterly marginalized and shunned (shithole) corner of the internet, have after all adventures, found this being the only avenue of sincere expression where we might find peers, in age, in interest, in humors, whose regard, unlikely enough, we hold in enough esteem to induce posturing.

Do not mistake the posturing, instead, see the desperation which would lead one here, what barren outer lives we must all lead that we must seek refuge—and so have some sympathy, the world is ill-fit for us with interests in such “weird” pursuits, in a sense we are the last guard, we gather to protect the dwindlin’ flame of literature, knowing very well how pathetic, how doomed.

It's mostly a leftist problem.
Those are the kinds of people who keep screaming for everyone else to read books, have an entire library's worth of their own, but haven't actually read a single one of them. You know the type.
Unsurprisingly, these same people spend all their time on 4chan, instead of reading. They like the idea of reading far more than they actually read.

You really think leftists in general read less than rightists? There's absolutely people like the ones you're talking about, but there's also rightists who don't read, and I think if you look at the people who do read, most are not rightist. Still, left or right, pseuds suck.

Likely. >but there's also rightists who don't read Rightists who don't read don't have some weird obsession with trying to appear well-read. They're out farming or some shit.

Literature is a hobby that allows for such posturing due to the cultural respect it has accumulated in a way that anime and videogames dont.

So, naturally, every nerd who has been picked on will latch on to that second hand sense of superiority, even if it means acting superior to others like himself, and so, in a way, bullying himself all over again.
