Please don't use AAVE to describe the beauty of Moby Dick.

Nothing makes me cringe more than critical theorists talking about how Moby Dick is "queer literature," and almost every example they can cite either relies on shit understanding of usage change or a complete lack of appreciation of the metaphor, taking maybe the most metaphorical work of fiction at face value selectively when it fits to be gay. Please, just write your own books and stop trying to woke-ify everything. Mary Shelley/George Elliot weren't trans. Old play-writes weren't gay solely because he used male actors for women parts. These are just retarded theorists who are too ignorant to interpret the world and so do so unendingly through the critical lens of their own obsession with/projection of their own sexuality-which if you meet them, they also unidimensionally define themselves by.

my professor told me I shouldn't read it until i'm 30

Probably true. I don't see how anyone under 25 has enough life experience to really appreciate it.
