Why do people hate Holden again? He seems like the archetypical /lit/ poster, neurotic, depressed, lonely, feels like an outcast, hates the normies, sensitive, moderately intelligent, good with words, retarded around women, etc. I relate heavily to Catcher in the Rye, yeah Holden's a dumb pathetic shithead but am I not ?

Also I'd appreciate any recs that will help me out of the Holden mindset. I feel like I probably shouldn't still be like this at age 21.

Have you ever noticed adults hate children?
Very curious phenomenon because it’s subtle rather than overt. Little comments and mannerisms are what give it away

>constant threads about this childish book with too adult themes
>memes aside, every anon identifies with the schizophrenic sociopathic manchild MC. Loves em. Memes that he’s an incestuous pedophile

Identify troll threads and report them please. Do not engage.

It's pretty obvious that you are meant to think Holden is dumb and naive but still sympathize to some degree with his amusingly cynical outlook.

The people who "hate him" are people with infantile brains who don't apply any critical thinking to a book when they read it.

Hes not dumb or naive. His outlook is through the lens of depression and he is hypocritical about people being phony when hes straight up lying to strangers but its not a story with a moral. Its adolescent to think the way he does only because hes right in between the naivety of youth and the many copes of adulthood to deal with the death of that naivety. But hes aware that they are copes. The book doesnt give you the right cope out of the mess
