Mods, I don't know what I have to do but could you please, please just ban obvious shitposts like this. It would just make me happier. It's all I want. I'm sick today. Grant me this wish

Friendly reminder that David Wallace was his biggest inspiration and even considers him the father of the YA genre

This board is generally more biased toward works with literary merit so naturally we dislike John Green. If you just read for entertainment or plot then it could be worth it.

jg became popular by doing youtube, i think. read parts of katherine book for laughs and god was it awful. it was like it was written by a 15 year old girl who's never written anything in their entire life. it's about a 17 year old "prodigy" who wants to be a genius and he's only dated girls named katherine. i think he's insane or something. he doesn't think the renaissance ever happened.

He is the new man.

The new sort of man. You all know the kind. He's been completely castrated. He's been divorced from anything primal. Completely shorn of any crimethink.

He's like a little, supple, baby-oiled infant. A modern Cupid. A little faggy nothing of a thing who believes in nothing and flaps in the goddamn breeze, whichever way it happens to be flapping.

Tell me, would you ever respect a man who makes a fortune telling 13-year-old girls what they want to hear? Would you ever respect a man who writes fiction for girls whose breasts are still budding?

Look at him and weep. You see a piece of yourself in him, don't you? That piece that you're ashamed of. That cringing little coward in the corner of your soul.

For like him you've never cut down a pine. Never stood on a cliff's edge, bare-chested, roaring into the great wilds. Never killed with your hands.

The fire is gone from his eyes. The fire that the ancients had. The great men of eminence.

And now we have "logic" and "reason" and they're a small consolation to a beastly heart, which still beats, faint as it may be, still beats.

Can you hear it in your chest?

Not that anon but FURTHER reminder that after The End of the Tour comes out the John Green is just going to steal DFW's image as much as possible, even going as far as wearing a bandanna.

The one where he has quirky teenage adventures.

[Anonymous No.6835182]

There are thousands of bad authors that we don't have multiple threads about every day, why John?

How did he come up with such a brilliant name like Alaska? Such a visionary Mr Green.

Meh, sure it sucks but nothing unrealistic about dating only people with the same name. I only dated guys named Josh throughout all my teenage years.
