My fucking sister did that. I lent her a book a while ago, then a few days later I told her "if you fold down the corners I'm going to beat you upside the head with it" and she was like "oh.............." and so I beat her upside the head with it.

This 'man' upsets me. His physical appearance in revolting to my sense of aesthetics. The implicit hipster rolling off of him; conveyed by his 'stylish' glasses, near anorexic physic and tasteless medium t-shirt, are cause for me to leave him in a vat of acid and record his pathetic screams so I may enjoy them again later.

Sadly I see to many of this psudo-intellectuals roaming the land. I do believe and 'final solution' is in order to round up this stains on society.

>> No.2670418

If we're going to discuss the neuroticisms of lit-types, go no further than /lit/. We are the most needlessly cerebral types when it comes to enjoying literature. In fact, "outsiders" seem so simple in their approach that we're almost warranted to look down upon them the same way a depressed person both envies and looks down upon mentally-healthy individuals as not knowing the sort of pain or complications that person knows.

I mean, for example: Nobody on this board actually enjoys books. We just enjoy hating eachother.

Not him, but what's so bad about him not liking the looks of red hair on men? Then he'd also be racist to people who don't have the genes to grow such a mustache, because I does like the mustache Verkerk has.

No one I know really is a racist, they're probably only found in the US. There might actually be reasons for someone to dislike aspects, and disliking is not hating my dear.
