>"At 25, Rachael Allen is the youngest: a fact that helps explain her poetry’s up-to-the-minute contemporaneity, alternative humour, and occasional shoulder-shrugging cool. Dotted throughout her short collection is a series of poems that takes its cues from the internet-meme-generating 4chan website: “Random”, “Cute/Male”, “Social”. If that means nothing to you, you’re not alone"

>"Roughly half of the poems are prose-poems which take their titles from image boards of 4chan, signaling a joint focus on that which is easily consumable, like Allen’s hurried and colloquial voice, and that which is fleeting, like the teenage years at the heart of Allen’s poems, too readily disappearing before the ‘encroaching ledge of age’ (‘Rapidshares’). These poems fit a trend in younger contemporary UK poetry that celebrates an anecdotal neo-confessional style, a sort of O’Hara-but-British renaissance. I’m thinking in part of Faber poets Jack Underwood and Emily Berry, but the strongest similarity is Sam Riviere’s 81 Austerities."

>"For the generation who grew up with the internet, born around 1990, 4chan forms part of adolescence in the 00s, alongside MySpace pages and instant messaging. After the rise of web 2.0’s “real-name culture”, 4chan is an archaic (and anarchic) hold-out of an earlier form of online community, offering a ludic escape from identity as liberation from the intersections of real world power relationships. In a space of completely un(self)censored speech, the only things left unsaid are the unsayable. Freeing users from any repercussions in their social lives, from the policing tactics of stigma or shame, anonymity on 4chan solicits total confession (and absolute obscenity) whilst making its veracity irrelevant, especially on boards like /lit/ where admissions of otherwise embarrassing personal taste are made without reserve. As in confessional poetry, disclosure becomes a dramatic quality, a performed challenge to the limits of fiction; unlike confessional poetry, anonymous disclosure can only be dramatic, and identity can only be an implication of the text."

Do you agree /lit/?

In /cm/ her focus is on the concept of reverse objectification, of the male body trapped "like an ionized beetle" behind the glass of the computer screen. A stand-out poem is /r/ ("rapidshare"), where the young poet details the torturous journey from childhood through adolescence in the technological age. The issue of adopted personas is confronted in her poem dedicated to /lit/, the website's literature forum, where she heartbreakingly concludes that "what I am online / no, what I am / has become unreachable to us both"..."

I think in recent years 4chan has lost that comforting "safezone for people against safezones" feeling. I guess you just need to adapt to that, be even more careful with your anonymity.

It would have been comfier without /b/, /soc/, /adv/ etc but maybe it needed the creativity of /b/ to attract a decent posting rate.

I don't mean this in a "lets go to loserwizard800chan instead" way. If I were to lose interest in the people here (but there's still enough people smarter than me to stave off that) I would go more into solitude than that.

I feel like those 2 boards are simply inferior versions of /lit/ though, their sole merit lies in being able to express views which are considered toxic by most other communities. But as far as both history and politics (kek) go, /lit/ has much more knowledgeable and interesting posters.

>it's only hobby boards that are under thread
That's sort of true. But I think there are still enough alternative people on them to have at least one good general. I know that they sometimes discuss art film on /tv/ and classical on /mu/ still.

/lit/ is pretty good in that regard. Just because the standard of writing (and therefore communication and thinking) is a bit higher.

I really feel it's the other way around. The more people obsess about this being a safe zone the more time they dedicate to "protecting it" instead of just using it. So instead of interesting threads you have to keep ignoring people blaiming other sites and fearing the loss of their culture. Back in the /i/ years we were more than happy to say that we were from ebaumsworld because we had enough idenitity to know that wasn't even possible, if someone were to say that we're 9gag people would shit on him as a defense mechanism trying to purge some imaginary enemy out even though there is nothing to cleanse.

Yes, and a lot of black people have decent jobs but the ones everyone notices and make the "black culture" are the ones pretending to be rich and singing hip hop. When we moved to smaller boards we renounced the right to be part of the big axis of 4chan just like an old man would leave the city feeling that there's anything for him to change in there.

>"Rachael bravely went where few women feel safe to go, navigating areas of the internet where misogyny and problematic discourse are commonplace. Her poems serve as correspondence from that dark place, snapshots from the lives of individuals who eschew online personalities and opt for anonymity instead. By placing herself in such a vulnerable position and daring to investigate the collective psyche of a generation of young frustrated men, Rachael has produced what may very well be the quintessential poetry collection for the internet age"

You know you're actually right with all that. All I meant was that I feel less secure knowing that more people I would see offline might be becoming more aware of the website. An example would be that until recently I thought /r9k/ had become way too much /teenagerproblems/ since the /adv/ and /soc/ creations for me to enjoy it. But then I visited it again this year and was shocked at some (some) of the brilliant humor and creativity on offer there. It was like a wilder more intelligent /b/ at times. But at the same time there was a lot of slave morality, complaining about other sites, whining without any selfawareness that seemed to really hamper that under the guise of "protecting" it.

The two things I think are good on here are the level of intelligence and the amoral humor. Whether someone claims to be protecting the site or the opposite (that 4chan's being an alternative to the mainstream is unimportant), its bad either way if those 2 things suffer.

4chan "culture" is, if anything, all about exploiting everything in sight. This is a community that has literally bullied people to death. If you post personal info here you'll get rekt. Exploiting this site for personal gain is pretty much entirely in line with the every man for himself early internet sub-culture.

the way I see it is we have two bell curves, and the 50% line for men is near the upper 40% of women: 10% of men are basically smarter than all women, but 90% have the capability to be dumber than any specific woman.

Obv this is not language-based intelligence but rather things like engineering ideas and novel concepts.

>>6907664

After reading "The Open Window" by Rachel Olan I am full of thoughts. Never before have I thought the thoughts I am now thinking. And the feelings I am feeling are surely a result of those thoughts.
The lead character in "The Open Window" was, I truly believe, the most important person. At the beginning of the book we did not know him/her very well. Later on, of course, many difficult things hapen and he/she changes. Near the end of the book, towards the back, the problems are fixed and things work out, more or less. I was so relieved! In conclusion, I think we all learned and important lesson! I know I Certainly did!

Honestly I have to agree with you. There is something sublimely absurd about it. Taking meaninglessness and turbocharging it into heights unseen. Baneposting is the proof that humanity is special.

It's almost like some publisher took a chance on some ultra-try hard common denominator broad appeal hack with a vaguely contemporary edge and then every critic in the room jumped on the bandwagon to justify their meaningless, and becoming even more devoid of meaning, occupation in hopes of reaping the spoils they contributed towards. It's almost like that happens every day in and outside of literature.

One or two studies have suggested that the bell curves are centred on the same line but male is stretched out horizontally while female is taller.
i.e. men have larger smart and dumb outliers, women are strongly clustered around average with less extremes

>But then I visited it again this year and was shocked at some (some) of the brilliant humor and creativity on offer there. It was like a wilder more intelligent /b/ at times. But at the same time there was a lot of slave morality, complaining about other sites, whining without any selfawareness that seemed to really hamper that under the guise of "protecting" it.
But isn't slave moral just one source of the phenomenon you are describing, and hence needed?
