I've browsed /lit/ for years and one of the things that has become clear is that most people here aren't interested in serious literature in the same way most /mu/tants only care about memes and passing fads. Also a lot of people find jetpack lit appealing. I think it's safe to assume there are only around five of us here who are genuinely patrician, but due to the overwhelmingly plebeian nature of both the reading public and publishing houses I doubt our work will ever see print.

Well considering the amount of traffic from around the world that comes through 4chan on any given day it's statistically pretty likely that the among the subset of those visitors interested in writing there will be some who go on to be not only published authors but garner some critical acclaim. Whether or not their time on 4chan can influence their writing enough to create a shared set of traits or characteristics enough to label a movement is up for debate.

No. If you're NEET you are guaranteed to be an autist, and if you're an autist then you are guaranteed to never have the capability to be a normal, social human being who works and communicates.

In other words, you're an autistic NEET cunt who is worth absolutely nothing except the ever increasing deductions out of your exhausted and hopeless parents who give too much of a fuck about what society would think of them if they just put you on the street and pretended like the past 18 years didn't happen, even though that's what they wish they could do since you stole away their youth.

Have you ever seen a whimpering animal, broken leg or other serious wound, out in the wild, giving it's final, weak, surrendering growl at an approaching predator.

A once hope-filled, young well of potential, reduced to uselessness before it ever had the chance to reproduce. Completely useless by all standards. Can't keep up with the pact, can't hunt, can't migrate.

That's you. Defeated, whimpering, useless. Retreating with a fatal wound, with one final, depressing, weak growl as you fade into extinction. Some call it cowardice. You however are not worth being called among the ranks of cowards.

Also I think you articulated the situation very well, although I also believe that it's true that some people too require an incubation period and that they often have the potential to produce something interesting in that period.

Maybe some of the less self-aware ones.

People are NEET for all sorts of reasons, from idleness to drug abuse, to mental illness to physical illness, to some combination of any of those and more.

People of all tempraments and attitudes can become NEET: some deny the likely realities of their situation, wheras some are quite aware of their lot but feel powerless to change it.
