Am I the only one who has never liked Terry Pratchett?

[Anonymous No.20689717]

Is Terry Pratchett the most reddit writer ever? I feel like he's even worse than Stephen King who at least has some degree of self-consciousness as far as cringe goes because he's just so degenerate inside

[Anonymous No.20689749]

Terry is good because his humor comes off as natural on top of discworld being an amazingly rich setting for something so generic and has great characters for the type of novels hes writing.

He was just a nice old man telling funny stories, it's not that deep.

What does that even mean? Jesus Christ, Terry began writing before Reddit even exist, yet he’s somehow Reddit? I swear, people like you just like to postulate online.

"Reddit writer" would be stupid same jokes told over and over again, chasing political trends without any real guiding insight, a sense of unwarranted superiority and righteousness while failing to prove either in every opportunity given, and pretending to have refined tastes while being obsessed with the most mainstream media and searching for others to explain the meaning of it to them.

Every faggot here already hates him. Him and Douglass Adams. If it could be considered """leddit""", some fag here will hate it. I like both though so I don't know bro.

It might be possible. His books are on another level of soulful. Opposite of King besides some gems of his.
What Pratchett have you read?

This thread is asking opinion on how worthwhile his writing is and your response to the query is his politics so that’s a reasonable inference unless we apply drastic formalism to posts in which case I suppose there is no reason to even presume your pronoun referred to Pratchett

You don't have to "cancel" someone to ignore his work. Also, his son is a tranny so he failed as a parent and likely his mind was polluted.

Trans women are silly but they deserve the respect of being called the pronouns they want.

There's no such thing as "trans women." You can't biologically transform into something else that you are not. A man's a man, a woman's a woman, and a sicko's a sicko.

I enjoyed him when I was in middle school. I can see how he'd be considered reddit but he just wrote fun stories for kids. For me, it's Mort

Not weird at all. It makes perfect sense.

Terry's son can call himself whatever he wants, at the end of the day he's a man and he will never a woman.

In any case, he did not spawn a tranny, so it doesn't matter what arbitrary categorization you use. And I didn't use modern to mean belonging to modernity but rather contemporary.

I read some Pratchett during my stay in the homeless shelter and found it pretty good

Not every novel needs to be so dark and serious, comedy writing is a serious relief and a joy to read if written well

He is the Douglas Adams of fantasy for sure

[Anonymous No.20691713]

>>20689717
I can understand it. He's popular, but it's still a niche he wrote in. I wouldn't say he's "the most Reddit writer ever", but I can see how you would arrive at that conclusion. A lot of his humor relies on wit, and there's an obviously left wing liberal slant to his writing. That's the sort of stuff Reddit indeed loves (well, they prefer authoritarianism, but they pretend not to)

But he was actually good. His wit was on point, his points were witty. Discworld is a smart skewering of Fantasy as a genre, while also being great Fantasy in its own right, and doing a good job of commenting on real life.

I read Good Omens and thought it was seriously unfunny and pretentious
But that could've been because of Gaiman, I guess
I don't really feel like reading any more of either one's books to find out whose fault it was

[Anonymous No.20693016]

Gaiman is "friends" with every successful writer in his genre, its how he made his career. There's no real connection between the two.

He is, Neil Gaiman confirmed it.
I don't think it was so much him putting up a front as trying to be civil, though. If you let your rage out all the time, you'll be in a mad house pretty quick.

when i was a teenager i read some book by the guy who wrote the davinci code, then followed it up with good omens. the difference in quality between the first book and the second was so obvious it even registered in my retarded 14 year old brain and it made me realize the vast majority of published books are garbaggio and not worth reading
