So lit what's with all the redditors and /pol/tards lately? Many books of extreme low quality are popping up a lot lately. I've also noticed some /pol/ posters who are expressing their racist and sexist views on this board.

I just wanted to warn you guys so you can try to filter them out before it becomes something like /tv/. I've been gone for several months and been lurking this past few weeks and noticed the quality has gotten much lower. Although there has been some interesting threads lately as opposed to the same shitposts meme trilogy.

I suppose I could deal with the redditors since /pol/tards have a way of completely damaging the whole board with their racism and DA JOOS type of views.

I don't mean for this to be a shitpost but this board is easily one of the best boards on here and it would really be a shame if we let /pol/ damage the board like they do with so many others.

Also to keep it /lit/ related post what you're currently reading. I've just started reading fear and loathing in las vegas.

I feel this way too and it makes reading him kind of irritating. Because either I'm wrong and I'm missing something very fundamental to the experience.

Or Pynchon seriously lacks sincerity and that's the way I'm inclined to feel. I kind of struggled through V being impressed by some of it but afterwards I read Absalom, Absalom and felt much more fulfilled.

It's censorship of people who want to talk about unrelated things. Ban them. If a thread is made about The Bell Jar then people who want to discuss how feminism has emasculated men and 2D women are the future must take that discussion elsewhere. Discuss the book, or fuck off.

That doesn't mean you can't make a thread about a work written about your 2D women

Same with a book about, say, slavery. Then people who want to talk about academia being run by Jews are off topic.

I am glad /lit/ has gone to complete shit. It is 69 degrees and I am about to spend the next EIGHT HOURS outside in the sun reading and raking and digging and planting flowers. A couple of years ago I would have went to the shade to check my phone to see what was going on here with you anonymous retards but now that distraction no longer draws me in.

The no censorship ethos was just a way to keep out normies. Now that the racism has become largely unironic and we are receiving a huge influx of actually racist teenagers it serves no purpose.

as mentioned here, >>7845732, most political discussion is more suited for /pol/ than /lit/, even if it pertains to literature. Of course, there is overlap, but many of the politics threads that happen on /lit/ often aren't directly related to books at all, the literature serving only as a thin veil for explicit political discussion.

sure, although it would definitely be preferable if you were discussing the content of a specific book, rather than the overarching views the author represents. In broad generalizations you lose detail, and without detail arguments become menial in their lack of tangible support, that's how /pol/ fell down that slippery slope so long ago

Right now I'm wondering about many people are actual redditors newfags and how many are genuine /lit/izens. Lit is usually a home board to many of its prime users. They don't frequent other boards as much as they do /lit/ so they would really notice /pol/'s presence.

My biggest problem with /pol/ isn't exactly their immature contrarian views but the fact that they can't speak without spewing memes, "WE WUZ" "are you kidding me?" "Cuck" "muh 577 trillion" and so on and so on, there us not a single unique idea to be expressed, just the same vomit spewed into each others mouths. And the worst part is they think they're funny.

Okay, so you're a hypocritical idiot with shit taste who knows little to nothing about /lit/ and is probably a member of the invasion of new posters he's criticizing.

There has always been a healthy undercurrent of racism and sexism on /lit/, and there have always been conservative and traditionalist posters who have no qualms about sharing their views. Dead white men are far and away the most beloved writers on this board and always have been; the KJV Bible routinely tops polls as one the most popular books on the board.

If you have a problem with opinions that contradict your own, maybe you should fuck off to r/literature or some other forum that will censor people you disagree with.

But this is exactly what you and OP are doing. You're insulting anonymous posters as "/pol/" because they don't give a pass to writers like Sylvia Plath and Zadie Smith. The truth is, you don't know what boards people here browse, you simply notice that conservative ideas and posters are growing in popularity.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with reading Hunter. His drug storytelling is one of the best out there, he manages to put into words what a high feels like really well. It's not great prose, character development or philosophy but it's a great account of a certain generation and time in north America. You're just a faggot who probably never goes out and uses all his time to shit post or work at his shit job.
