/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.8883890]

What should we do about the reddit problem? I think everyone can agree that this board has had a HUGE influx of newfag redditors who refuse to integrate into 4chan culture.

Half the problem with the thread quality on /lit/ is the amount of threads complaining about reddit.
Supress redditors by making interesting threads they can't shit in.

In the extreme case we can always start writing in stream-of-consciousness chock-full of autistic references so nobody who's not an oldfag gets what's going on.

You can tell /pol/ is very proud of their work with this image because for the past like two days they've posted it every time somebody disagrees with them then smugly acted like they can disregard all conflicting opinions because clearly anyone that isn't /pol/ is a redditor

I love how newfags think /pol/ and /r9k/ are the same. Nobody is "flooding" the site, but newshit who complain if someone says something racist on fucking 4chan need to go. Especially if they get mad at frog memes and misogyny.

[Anonymous No.8883998]

>>8883972
this is why nobody likes you.
you shill your shitty /pol9k/ "culture" as 4chan on the whole, while completely disregarding the "culture" of whatever board your shitposting in.
redditors at least came here in the interest of discussing literature. I bet at least half of the current War & Peace and Monte Cristo group reads are redditors. you'd be lucky if a single person was /pol9k/. Several of them actually tried to tackle Infinite Jest. All of the recent Dostoyevsky threads have been from newfags interested in Russian lit for the first time.

[Anonymous No.8884014]

>>8883992
I am not complaining about misogyny and racism, I'm not that stupid. This is 4chan. Nobody is sitting here getting the vapors when you say nigger and joke about muslims. It is not shocking on this website.
The reason people hate you is because you come onto other boards and make them all /pol9k/. This thread has nothing to do with literature. It should be deleted. You should be banned for it.

[Anonymous No.8884015]

>>8883998
Nope. 4chan has always been edgy and iconoclastic. People who use /pol/ and /r9k/ aren't outsiders to /lit/, they're the backbone of the entire site, like /b/tards used to be.

Redditors are the immigrants. They get mad at Pepe memes, they get mad at people who have different opinions than them, they spread their cancerous "humor" here and they're convinced that they own the site. >>8883891 is very accurate. You're attacking a strawman that doesn't exist.

Nope. I'm saying that the cancer needs to go. /pol9k/ isn't a thing and they aren't upsetting your precious little oasis of /lit/. Redditors who get mad if someone posts Pepe or any post that is even slightly whiny or political are shitting up this board and distracting from real discussion.
>>8884014
Many do though. There's at least one redditor who gets mad at "frogposters". Frogposting is integral to this site's culture.

[Anonymous No.8884035]

I remember back in like 2013 I was worried that 4chan was being diluted by redditor faggots and a new generation of whiny babbies.

Same thing that happened to SomethingAwful, where all the userbase slowly turned into 33 year old nu-males who had to "settle down" and "be more mature" because they got cunt girlfriends, and instead of quitting their Internet forums and childish hobbies, they just channeled their own pussy-whipping into them and ruined them instead.

But instead of that happening, 4chan has become /pol/! It's a Christmas miracle!

[Anonymous No.8884044]

>>8884015
>they get mad at people who have different opinions than them
You made a thread to literally do that. On a literature board.
Nobody arguing with you has said anything about misogyny or racism, they have all told you to talk about books or leave, because that is how a board called /lit/ works.

>Horrible post, delete your account
You have no recourse because his image is calling out exactly what you are doing.

>>8884024
>they aren't upsetting your precious little oasis of /lit/
They are. Because they post shit threads like this, which have nothing to do with books. On a board about books. Why is this difficult to understand for you?
>Frogposting is integral to this site's culture.
Frogposting is fine on /lit/ if it is about books, but you dumb faggots start frogposting threads like "why can't black people write good books" or "look at the sjw opinions tangentially related to ya fiction I found when I search tumblr for things to make me angry." Things that are very thinly-veiled """literature""" subjects but quickly devolve into your bullshit.

/pol/ has never been anything more than shit. /r9k/ is relatively new after being removed for so long and remade as 9001. The board with constant failed suicide attempt threads isn't the backbone of anything.

I was a /b/ tard literally a decade ago. We weren't like you at all. You're "golden days" delusion reeks of ideology.

Not really. That pic is just some autist getting mad that some people have political views and *gasp* dare to talk about it outside of /pol/.

Even moot said that /pol/ and /r9k/ is what /b/ used to be. They are the ones pushing the culture of the site forward and making OC.
>You haven't shifted a single aspect of your argument, youre just sad that people call you out in your precious safe-space.
Again, nope. 4chan is not a safe-space, stop overusing this meme.

My main issue is redditors who tell people go gb2pol9k when anybody dares challenge their views. They are killing this site.

People who cry so much about "invasions" are people who are here for image and status and not for the books. /lit/ is a shitty board because people talk about the same few authors in very superficial ways. If you actually want "redditism" to cease, then try making actual good threads and have interesting discussions about literature. Like-minded people will find your thread whereas the rest will just keep shit posting or making stupid posts like this entire thread

/pol/ is a hugbox and spamming functions as a practical upvoting mechanism. Try to make an actual /his/ related thread on /his/ for example. It'll die in 10 minutes. Meanwhile holocaust denial or other /pol/ echochamber threads are guaranteed at least 100 replies. Anyway, reddit is as extreme as 4chan, it's just got a worse site culture, which is unfortunately leaking here through /pol/ /v/ and formerly /b/

this is the logical conclusion of the redpill.
"tradition" and """culture""" and "pride" are viewed as objectively good, even when they're objectively bad. even when it's on an anonymous imageboard. "shit is not shit because it's old" is a perfect synthesis of that fallacious ideology. good job. it takes truly autistic lack of self-awareness to achieve stupidity of this magnitude.
