trips and anons are all characters to me. they can be absurd or stupid, but it's all a silly play anyway. yea look that guy said something stupid lets be hating on him. no, just laugh at him and move on.

tybrax though seems to live here with his real persona and he needs lots of help.

I like about half the trips and the others don't really offend me, it's just that threads are so often derailed into personal snitfits between people I can't tell apart and obnoxious anons when one of them shows up. And yeah, tybrax needs help

seriously though trip meta is jsut stupid. i like to have a cute name, kind of like how you would title a comic strip or something. i think if people took this less seriously we'll see more trips (with good names) and less hurfing about trips. the hurfing is at least half of the problem

>> No.1536301

>>1536286
I agree i suppose

but then we get these little clusters of just bland and often times campy tripfags that are so enthralled by their unique senses of humor and end up shitting all over everything

>> No.1536353

>>1536286
the problem is, once someone establishes their own trip identity, they will go to great lengths to fetishize their trip and continually reaffirm their status

I've long since learned that any board on 4chan is eventually folly in terms of actual discussion; I would, for example, benefit much more by doing discussions in philosophy forums. I just use /lit/ as a place of entertainment and a feel of pop-culture. Most of the people on here are either too underdeveloped or they, like me, have given up on seriousness and just do it for entertainment.

/lit/ is not an intellectual forum, it's more like a social sandbox with intellectual themes

>> No.1536400

It used to be a nice little meeting place for all fans of literature. We'd talk about books we were reading, bashed Twilight, and took Rand seriously.

That lasted about a week. Then the pseudo-intellectuals, the fucking University kids who could never find real people to bug about their brain boners, they all just swarmed in. Rand was shit, opinions were shit, anything that wasn't on some .jpg list was shit, reading for enjoyment was shit, until fun eventually became shit.

Thing is, this is the same pattern /mu/ had. In the old days, you could even talk about nu-metal without getting slammed. Nowadays, it's nothing but hipsters as far as page 15.

We can't fix it. We can try to find some other website, perhaps a ProBoards that'll have five members or so, but eventually be dropped due to the lack of anonymity.

So, you either conform to the elitists and the pseudos, or you just come here, looking for a friendly thread in the oh-so-commonly-referred-to sea of piss that is 4chan.

Or, of course, you get real friends, and talk about books and philosophies and all that in a humane, calm, respectable environment with them. But that's a pipe dream at best...

I always wonder what sort of day he was hiving in that picture.

It's not like someone told him a joke, then whipped out a cellphone camera. Back then, it took time to set up everything. And it's clearly on the street, so it's not like it was some professional shot in a studio or anything, where he might be getting an author's biopic done.

Lovecraft /wanted/ to be smiling in that picture.

Then again, maybe I'm just romanticizing him as this dark, dark man who was never happy. Hell, there's plenty pictures of King smiling on purpose.
