Tried reading this and gave up after fifty pages.
Why would someone who has so little to say about life write a book?
It's literally just about being horny.

You have heard a fraction of what Rooney has to say. The problem here is your attention span; not Rooney's writing. Maybe lay off the porn and video games for a bit bud, you will enjoy life much more.

Sounds like he is, in fact, enjoying life much more.

Hate cunts like that, bet he didn't even offer to replace it, did he? I mean fuck if that were me I would have simply replaced it before even thinking of telling you I lost it. And he's dicking your sister to boot. I bet he wears tank tops unironically.

After fifty pages, if a writer hasn't done anything to interest me, I'm not gonna stick around.
Figured I'd give it a shot even though I knew it wasn't going to be what I typically read, but it's just an unimaginative coomer fantasy.

[Anonymous No.20036376]

>>20036352
>coomer fantasy
No you freak, you read about a normal sexual relationship between two adolescents. Believe it or not love is mot always perfect and cookie cutter, and sex isn't sterile and emotionless either. You unironically need to touch grass if you think what Connell and Marianne were doing was pure smut.

This fucker is literally nutting in your sister's tight wet hole and he just conveniently ""loses"" your book? This nigga is punking you. Why are you not doing time right now?
Just picture it. His throbbing unprotected meat plunging deep into her quivering wet cunt. She's moaning, grabbing his bare ass. His rippling muscles. Her tits bouncing about. The sounds. The sweat. The smell.

[Anonymous No.20036409]

>>20036376
It reads like glorified YA with far too much sexual energy than is healthy. Reading about a sexual relationship between two high schooler's is just weird and gross as an adult.

So are most 4chan posts. Even the ones that aren’t explicitly about it are still charged with the nervous energy of sexual frustration. Does that stop you from reading them?

It's not some great mystery. We're repulsed by it at a cultural and biological level. Your lizard brain is screaming to your subconscious that something has gone terribly wrong while the rest of society is trying to convince you that it's totally normal to have 20+ sexual partners before you're out of college.

Humans, specifically European and Asian population, developed incredibly strong pair bonding as a survival technique. It's in the best interest to ensure your partner is loyal so you don't end up raising another man's child and your genes pass on. It's another reason culturally we put such value on women remaining virgins, the more sexual partners they have the more it fucks with their ability to pair bond.

The other benefit is when you're locked in tight quarters with that person for four months over winter with little to no entrainment it keeps you from going crazy.

None of this shit is hard to understand, people just like to obfuscate it so they can pretend like they're better than there base biological urges or somehow engineering society to work against it was a good thing. Rates of SSRI prescription and suicide during the time of greatest abundance in human history would point to the fact that no, this did not make people happier. Apparently there's more to relationships than cooming and Instagram photos.

She's literally a member of the bourgeois, she's never had to do any actual work in her life, yet she shits on all white men as oppressors. I really wish this neoliberal intersectionality bullshit never got tied to Marxism, its so far gone from the original critique of capitalism.

Eh, she's evidently neutral and the critiques present still come from the Left, which obviously doesn't place her in opposition.
