But you are pretentious

Writing literally stuff in this day and age is silly. The time of literature is over. Just write some fantasy genre fiction to make some quick cash you wannabe

If you truly write literary shit, why the fuck would you even begin to care about it? You are a pretentious faggot for pretending that the trash you write is any better than the trash they write. At least they accepted that they are genre writers.

not that faggot but I find the idea interesting. To embrace the fact that it's all shit and love it anyways, yet still rejecting the path that would have him believe that it's not.
