There's still good discussion to be had but you've got to go searching for it.

You’re being disingenuous. The shelf threads are rare and the progress/status threads are very clearly attempts to stay active/accountable. 4chan threads are also created and finished much faster than tiktok content, so we’re able to see a much larger breadth of threads within one category (literature) without delving too far off topic. The reality is that this board is mostly comprised of discussion threads (ideal), recommendation threads (ideal), and various kinds of additional fluff. 4chan also being completely anonymous makes it so that we don’t have the same impetus to push a certain “brand” for ourselves the way people do on tiktok.

100%. This is in line with the general tendency of social media to emphasize image over substance. The function of social media is to increase status. Reading should be an intrinsic motivation, and end in itself. Instead booktok is about the prestige placed on being a reader, that is, someone with the sophistication and presence of mind to engage in recreational literacy. It's not entirely unlike hotties showing off their bodies on the app. Except you can't fake having a nice body. You can pretend to be a sophisticated literati however with some practice and skimming.

Plus the idea that you can have a meaningful conversation about a book in a minutes long video is sad if not pathetic.

>>21609368

you should read literature to become enlightened and enjoy the challenge of that process. Dostoevsky writes perfectly enjoyable literature, with a recognisable formula. He essentially writes within a genre, just because it's in translation and over a century old you somehow think it couldn't be "enjoyable". The word you are actually looking for is "easy". Genre fiction has always been and always will be pure commercial pulp.

Genre is intrinsically linked (partially due to the fact that *certain* movies & games are heavily reliant on genre) to the concept of franchising, of merchandise, of metaverses & fanfiction. It’s more about fulfilling people’s fantasies and their compulsions towards prolonged adolescence than challenging and developing their thinking or cultural encounters like literature is supposed to. It’s completely fetishistic wish-fulfilment that can also scratch the itch of layman “writers” who like parasites used tried & tested “universes” and characters to exercise their impotent creative muscle and their weird obsession with sodomy.

You both share the same reason for reading books.

You're not necessarily above anyone based on the entertainment they consume. I enjoy watching sports and whenever an egghead has tried to talk down about it I just point out they probably don't appreciate it because they're unathletic (that always shuts them up).

However, there is something to be said about being consumed in the fandom of a given thing and the fetishization of all forms of reading as an intellectual pursuit. I don't look down on anyone just for reading genre fiction but when you wear it as a badge of honour and cry out "LOOK AT HOW MUCH I LOVE TO READ!" don't be surprised when people judge what that says about your personality in ways you didn't want. With people begging for attention on social media alongside the overt commercialization of the publishing industry--the derision is warranted.

I wager atleast 90% of people on here are male, atleast away from the more niche girly boards like /fa/ /cgl/ and /i/ or whatever
As a general rule I'd say all posters are male until proves otherwise

My favourite part of reading is realizing when i'm just talking to someone who just heard the audiobook version (because they don't remember 90% of the book lol)

Why slide about the problems with professional sports when the topic at hand is genre fiction and BookTok? It was just an analogy, faggot. I could have said I don't judge my gf by what music she listens to and respect how well she plays the piano. Being accessible doesn't make something bad, being complicated doesn't make something good, and you can relax and enjoy the skill put forth in anything. However, if we're talking about reading I'm not impressed by someone bragging on social media that they accomplished their GoodReads gamification goal by reading 50 variations of Twilight.

Your quote:
>The thing is you seem to think that only genre fiction has to deal with fandom and the fetishization of reading.

Yeah, you're incapable of changing your mind about anything because you're a retard. I'm not here to talk about a vapid generalization some midwit confuses with an insight. The conversation at hand is derision directed toward genre fiction and I gave reasons for why it exists (after pointing out you don't judge someone merely by their taste). The conversation isn't necessarily worthless, unlike what you're capable of chimming in which, but you can cope however you want (perhaps with pic-related).

Chuds use it more than leftoids these days. It's such a non-insult that it's easy to reclaim.

I kind of don't want people to know I read "pretentious" stuff like Hegel and Goethe because I would feel weird so I guess I am the opposite of booktok. I think most people irl see me as a ditz

Yeah, imagine. Good thing I'm having fun making fun of a retard. Sorry neither of those books peaked your interest. Try this one, aside from everything that makes him desirable to women he's just like you!

Is this a meme? It’s easy and very possible to read a book and not damage the spine. I’ve done it hundreds of times

Thanks for proving my point that you never had one.

When I was living in a building with a lot of students my age I was surprised to find out how many of them are just buying books they don't read to display as furniture. It's not that they don't plan to, but just never actually get to read. I don't even display books on my shelf before reading them.

I like sharing my collection and observing other anons' collections. I don't do that on social media because I don't trust the people there to be genuine; and because lurkers are always anonymous so there's a disequilibrium of intentionality present that doesn't exist in meatspace or on imageboards. I also don't do it on social media because I don't showcase anything on social media because crafting an "online identity" is for subhumans. Everyone here, no matter how much of a faggot, has no incentive to be virtue signal.
