John B Watson literally ruined an entire generation with his downright abusive childcare theories and made future generations have shittier lives by inventing modern advertising.

so real. what is up with all these memebooks written by brown women?

>> No.22224859

I don't give a shit about who wrote it. The fact that it's just cliche after cliche, with each poem being a weaker version of the previous, with each poem being surface level with no depth, with each poem being mediocre. With the ungrammatical structures, with the lack of meter or poem or rhythm of any kind. The empty, trite, weak slobber that one may call poetry. The problem with it is that this counts for some people. This is the direction poetry will go, it's not avant garde, it's lazy trauma dumping. And though it may be validating to some, it's terribly written and redefines what counts as a best seller.
I fucking hate this book. I fucking hate rupi. And I hate both so deeply that it makes me begin to hate poetry, it makes me want to hate English, it makes me want to hate my fellow man. It makes me SICK.

Just books that make their readers think they are enlightened without having to put too much effort in, kind of like self help but masculine and with a philosphical disguise, thats how i picked the books i chose for men.
For women it's just books that make them think they're rebels and not like other girls, and also the books give bad role models for women except for maybe hunger games.

Try love anon. Don't worry, it's not organically a best seller. Books by women, specifically brown women get bought up en masse by bookstore owners to put on their shelves as a status signifier, and then other women buy them as a status signifier. Nobody actually reads this goyslop except for unfortunate souls like you and gullible roasties. Nobody actually reads anything that came out in the 21st century
