Personally I'd consider all philosophers with written work acceptable to discuss on /lit/.
The 2 guys spamming the threads with
>muh /his/
are a bunch of faggots ruining the board.
/lit/ has been my home for a long time and restricting the conversation on things which are clearly related to literature is purely retarded.
Thats why boards die.
I don't want /lit/ to be another board in the ashes.

Honestly I have no idea why philosophy can't be discussed on both boards. I mean /his/ is obviously going to be filled with thousands of teenagers who will have little philosophical knowledge outside of Kant or the Greeks. I think it would be cool to have two distinct philosophic cultures between the two boards.

Anyways, /lit/ has developed a culture of philosophic debate and quasi-study over the years. /his/ is a virgin board that lacks any culture, hell just yesterday they had several threads dedicated to creating a loli ghost mascot. Does anyone actually think that board is going to have any meaningful discussion for at-least 6 months?

Honestly this whole "board shake up" is borderline retarded. All it is going to do is leave /lit/ a hipster wasteland, and /his/ a pseudo-philosophy board. At the same time all the "intellectuals" of /lit/'s population is going to have a mass exodus off of this board and trust me they aren't going to /his/.

That's not the point at all. /lit/ will most likely engage literature with philosophical undertones on its narrative and the implications of the moral dilemmas, assumptions, etc. on the human life. /his/ will have a more political attonation and focus more on historical continuity and its concrete impact on history and society.

There are two doors now: one that says Philosophy and one that says Literature. And instead of just knowing that people will rely on their common sense and judgment to determine where a thread goes, they're throwing a huge tantrum and protesting the existence of the doors, saying we should merge them.

This thread is a shitpost or at least exceptionally shitposty due to the resent board turmoil and the fact that this thread has de facto become the containment/discussion thread of said turmoil.

But I mean the philosophy threads on /lit/ for the past few months haven't been terrible or altogether great. Philosophy is ingrained into /lit/ anyways, it seems like we are suck with slightly above average content on /lit/, or high school tier content on /his//

I was banned the other day for posting a thread about Emerson and Heidegger. Another one of my threads was just deleted. The moderators on this board are in over their heads and unworthy of their power. If you want a true commander of /lit/, someone who will kick in the door so that the whole rotten edifice will come tumbling down, rise up and force Mr. Hiroyuki Nishimura to place the crown upon my head and together we will usher in a golden age of literary discussion.

I remember, when I was in my late teens, I had finally worked my way into the bedroom of a schoolmate I had a crush on since my pre-teen years. He was a brown skinned, confident athlete with an air of cool and an incredible body that I couldn’t wait to discover. Everything was going swimmingly in our newfound courtship, until I unzipped his pants for the first time. After a fair amount of eager fumbling and foolish adolescent foreplay, I took off his pants, only to find attached this tiny, almost inconceivably small resemblance of a raisin - a miniscule currant from the most malnourished Saxifragaceae bush. I had taken my previous boyfriend from flaccid to firm before, so it wasn’t the mere fact that my beau nouveau wasn’t yet erect that was disappointing. It was the brutal reality that there wasn’t even enough flesh to be noticeable when fully hard. At his most erect point, he couldn’t possibly have been more than a baby thumb length's long or wide. That was one of the most disappointing days of my life. The second most disappointing day was when I actually wasted a whole two hours reading Otto Weininger’s “Sex And Character”. To avoid posttraumatic depression, I have to try hard not to think about those valuable minutes of my life that I will never be able to replace.

This faggots again? Lay off it dude, no one's questioning your precious literary taste, we just want to discuss philosophical themes by people who didn't feel like dressing them up in a narrative. Are you this autistic that you can't understand why someone would rash on you for wanting a philosophy-free board when there's just as much. memeing with bona fide literature threads?

Christ almighty this nigga really thinks the group of posters trying to discuss shit like aesthetics and ethics are dismissive of true art. Give me a break

m8, your post isn't worth a bump, it contains no books. i know you're not planning an endorsement of the thread by doing so, so i conclude you're new. either that or very fucking lazy about board quality.

your "we" and "your" shit is therefore mixed up- it's also often a common linguistic tell that someone is alone and/or female to use the royal "we" to try to display support which is not present. just sayin

i think you'll find that while you might want to claim you do not have a problem with on topic shit - which patently isn't the case since you bumped the thread with your self-defensive shit to revive it from page five where i left it - there certainly were people claiming that /lit/ is solely for novels, and that all the things i just described here >>7320533 should go to >>>/his/

your "us" and "them" mentality isn't good for the board. and it's transparent. you make this kind of post because you have nothing else to post. not even tidbits about how to write a weakling or a woman trying to be offensive while aware of their concealed inadequacy. no need to save rave this thread, it was a means to an adequate end, not some glory for the board.
