why is a cheesy self inserted bible fanfic so popular with pseudointellectual collage professors?

Here's your (You). Next time you want attention from your peers, I recommend cutting yourself instead of lowering the quality of the board by shitting on the works of those immeasurably better than yourself and those who, unlike you, are intelligent enough to appreciate those works.

Seething Fanfiction can NEVER be considered a great work only good and the fact he self inserts has his hero Virgil guide him through it and has people he didn't like suffering in hell and the fact he has his fantasy woman guide him though heaven just shows how much of a delusional autist he is who would probably browse /r9k/ and write furry/mlp fanfics if he were alive today

It’s an absolute masterpiece in verse and probably the finest thing written in the Italian language. Also it’s really autistic fanfiction. That’s a combination of two extremely based things, which makes it super based.

If I smoked peyote after convinced myself I met Captain America the resulting entry in my journal would not be considered fanfic. If I knew some dude who claimed that he met Vishnu, and I wrote a book about that guy, it isn’t fanfiction.

I’m sure there’s a specific word for it, but it’s not fanfic.

Dante was among other things a soldier that his comrades commended for his bravery in several battles. He was also married with children and a fine poet even before writing the Comedy. There are limits even to willful ignorance anon.

Not him, but Cervantesposting is just cringe in its obsession, it's entirely legitimate to admire Cervantes as a writer. But this lazy way of shitting on Dante without having even read the abstract of his wikipedia page? It's pure cancer. I would never have suspected I'd miss the times when the most aggravating /lit/ meme was "don't read translations".

Objectively wrong. Why do you think slandering the Divine Comedy will change minds on this board? You just come off as an assclown who probably hasn't even read the books.
