I'll tell you. I'm at university studying literature. We had the first textual analysis lecture coming up and the teacher asked us to read a Faulkner story for it (A Rose for Emily). Lecture comes up and some bitch starts whining about how racist it was and demands to know why the university feels it can force people to engage with racism and what it says about the university's values that they chose to teach this story in particular.
I rarely despair over the state of humanity as much as I did then.

At any rate there was a lot of Faulkner discussion that day, most of it from the teacher defending him against accusations of racism.
That aside, the story itself was a lot of fun. The old lady refusing to pay her taxes, the delegation from the city trying to make her see reason.
Have you read this, any of you?

Some fag named Ryan or something groomed a tranny named Atlas and now we're in the midst of their custody battle. If Ryan wins, he gets the best writers here to release their books through his bullshit &amp publishing scam to buy crack. If Atlas wins, all the writers on /lit/ have to simp to her tranny wiles and submit to her LGBTQ zine that raises awareness about sexual predators who pretend to be psychic vampires against trannies with BPD. Read all about it in the &amp thread.

Social media and overconsumption of it has caused irreparable damage to our psyches, cognition and attention capabilities. Gone are the days of effort posts and quality OPs and OCs. The day of bait and identity politics is now. We amused ourselves to death. It is over.

Barbarians are here to splinter our overgrown generals into a board of little villages, threads where small discussions are had by small groups and honor is preserved by all in the community.

[Anonymous No.22661994]

Posters aren't interested in actual literary or philosophical topics or specific books anymore. Nor are they too piqued by the fact that this is technically a creative board.
Newfags came in and just want to remake the board into their own malformed image. Leftshit bunkercucks tell rightbrained gigatards to go back to /pol/, and vice versa, bunkercucks back to plebbit.
True /lit/ board culture entails that Evola, Adorno, Aquinas, Nietzsche, Spengler, Marx, and Rousseau all have their place. This board was far better when there were different cliques of different views who had one thing in common: they read books, were educated, and knew how to write. And most importantly, people knew their shit. There were always at least some of these people.
The Renaissance-man autodidact personality that this board has idealized is the worst thing to happen here (as in, the guy who's "read the whole canon"). It doesn't matter if it's Steinback or Marx or Plato, or Medieval Arthurian lore, the best posts on /lit/ are by people who know a few things, and know them well. Even if they were that ideal, the best poster knows not to be that kind of know-it-all shithead in discussion.
And I haven't minded a few general topics, i.e. the state of writing, which university we attended, or the state of academia, but twittercap posters need to be euthanized.

That is how /lit/ is supposed to function but it’s just a seethe site now. Debatelords, culture warriors, and venom. Too much encroachment and derailing. It all comes down to the demographic that comes here now versus who used to come here. Literature is a means to an end, a background noise, or an aesthetic for nu-/lit/. Fiction has almost totally died off. Too many stupid threads made that kill off more niche threads that need time for the right anons to find them. Honestly it’s not worth making a thread on a book if it isn’t litcore. It will die with few replies. Too many young anons, not enough anons that read, or have read a lot, not many anons with specialized knowledge that can make a thread great
