Are you not fucking paying attention? It’s Astro-turfed. They’re trying to force this idiot into the spotlight to secure the weakening grasp they have on the minds of young peopl, and luckily it looks like it’s largely not working

actual mongoloid. fuccboi is just another book in the long line of prestige publishers trying to figure out/capture what dem keedz are up to (less than zero, prozac nation, the list goes on), not some ebin psyop. the idea that this book, based on its actual contents or the shitshow around its publication, is somehow unfit for the fucking literature board is beyond retarded. the conspiracypill has fried the brains of many people here

If this is a kind of conspiracy (and at least in part I agree with this) it is such a profoundly normalized one that to avoid consideration of it is just as disingenuous and unrevealing. The connection to Sam Pink’s piece alone gives this rollout an obvious significance, a little cultural fist to cuffs subsumption of outsider artists by exhorting this nonentity. And to what ends, even if only stylistic? Exactly what nonconspiratorial literature from the past do you think is free of politics in like manner?

It just reminds me of whatever nebulous excerpts from Fuccboi (god I don’t like that word) Sam Pink published in his takedown/defense awhile back. Very uncanny aesthetic to defend the work in

Op here.
>I am not astroturfing or shilling this book. First heard about it from a ""gossip"" column in Spike art magazine.
>I've read Sam Pink and Tao Lin (and Ben Lerner) and get indie to mainstream dynamic.
>If Conroe's book had been published by a small press it would simply be another in the long line.
>Seems like the backlash is all about the ""ripoff"" and money.
>Because who gets so passionate about a writer's style?
>I get that the this ""style"" and Conroe's ""street cred"" are perfect for the marketeers.
>Compare to Elvia Wilks' OVAL and Gabe Habash's STEPHEN FLORIDA both writers about the same age as Conroe, both books lauded, but both written in conventional prose.
Maybe there's nothing to add that hasn't been said. I'm not butthurt, just was putting it out there for discussion.
