Gooning pornbrained bitches under the delusion they’re reading literature while pretending they’re not as repulsive as Der Coomer in line for his 100th porn convention. Somehow they get away with talking about their masturbation hobby in public like they’re real people and not gollum like monstrosities.

This. Normalize talking about (fetish) porn in public

[Anonymous No.23288212]

realizing that women consume porn through books was eye-opening, though embarrassing in how long it took me.

If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.

Booktok is useless when you re a straight man but even if you re not, the same shit gets posted constantly and even booktok girlies complain about creators jumping onto bandwagons all the time.

It's mostly women promoting shit books that are written by women for women and I'd imagine a lot of them are lowkey quite lonely.

This is off-topic but since this is a shit thread I don't care: does anyone have that funny post about how Americans are obsessed with numbers and there's a long-winded rant about basketball and some nigger's hand span?

Sometimes I see YouTube shorts of roasties shilling awful landfill YA-tier garbage, mostly for the romantic subplots. Is booktok any better?

You're probably watching re-uploaded BookTok content as that is pretty much exactly what BookTok is.
