/fit/ and /int/ /k/ and /tg/ are reLly positive places. Any board with a patrician/plebeian culture inevitably becomes poisonous, examples are /a/, /mu/, /tv/. /lit/ also has many unapologetic communists and undergrad philosophy students, disdains whole genres and non fiction in general, the trips are terrible, and it's a slow board filled with regulars that tend to be young with very narrow tastes.

/lit/ really is shit, but the flavor of the month are usually top tier, so it's worth coming back (I would never have found lindgren or stoner without /lit/

People here are pretty stupid compared to how big their ego is, so they make up for it by acting overly arrogant, posh and snobby. Hoping that strangers will mistake this for true intellectualism.

Like a short guy who tries to stand on his tippy toes to look taller.

Was this a subtle reference to The Mezzanine?

Was this some sort of meta-commentary, using said reference, to how everything is over-analyzed to the point of banal insanity?

Arete. Striving for excellence.
The basic idea behind competition. If we're all competing to be better than our fellow litizen, that pushes us to our very best.
Elitism fosters an elite society. I for one am fond of the elitist condescending posts here.

This is a shitpost.

Sounds like someone cant handle the bantz

The best part about reading isn't enjoying the books themselves, its telling everyone online how bad their tastes are.

It's a form of postmodern postposting.

It's more than that. Some other anon have picked up on it in here: it's not /lit/ that's hostile, it's 4chan culture that's hostile. It's almost ironically hostile, and it's this intensely hostile because it is anonymous. A poster is a faceless, identity-bereft voice amongst a legion of voices, and in order to be heard that voice must come up with new, exciting and sexual ways to be heard. One of these is extreme disdain.

When anon tells me I'm a faggot, that I will amount to nothing, that I am a literal waste of the atoms that were drawn away from useful things like dirt and parasites to make me, and that I should die in a fire, I read that as: "Nah, sorry bro, I didn't much care for that." Because I know most of that vitriol is the ego of the poster attempting to assert itself through the veil on anonymity. If a physical stranger on the street came up to me, a man with a face and clothes showing his taste and money in his wallet, and he hurled upon me even a fraction of the abuse anon did I would disintegrate and weep.
