Would it be hard to become like john green? Write a YA romance couple books filled with 'feel good' messages, but then put in a deeper meaning that is extremely red pilled.
How deep is it acceptable for people look into symbolism before it becomes "OMG, you crazy tinfoil hat" instead of just a literary analysis?

I'm pretty sure there are dozens of copycats already on the shelves. Just go to the YA section at the bookstore. Since John Green has accumulated millions of followers by making Youtube videos and tumblr philosophy he will obviously beat out any imitator.

it's all well and good to say you'll write a YA romance with a "redpilled" deeper meaning but it's actually sort of difficult to infuse a deeper meaning like that and you have no idea how to do it because you're a sniveling neet on /pol/ who has no idea how to do anything

You just have to think up a horrendously self-indulgent teen romance and paint over it with colours of lofty moral significance.

And yes I do think he is cancer.

What has Green written that could be described as "red-pilled"?

Yes, I'm saying John Green PLUS the underlying red pill meaning that is books don't have originally

I think OP meant that if he wrote popular YA books like John Green he would take the opportunity weave a "redpilled" message into it.

Like what, at the end of Fault in Our Stars the chick immediately gets over the dude and goes and has hot cancer sex with someone else 'cause she's inherently hypergamic?

This is me. It doesn't feel good.

"Feed" by M.T Anderson is a good example. It's a basic romance story, but it's set in the future where companies control everything, and people are just stupid sheep, and there are snippets of news about how everyone has nukes pointed at America, but they are in love so nobody cares.

It as typical environmentalist bs too, but that's a mandatory theme for dystopias

Impressionable people are easy to control, especially nowadays. A red pilled philosophy under the guise of a sappy love story goes a long way.
