Why can't you nurture their interest in the arts instead of destroy them for it? Isn't it a good thing booktubers are keeping the torch going?

Because most of them are women, who live in such an extraordinary position of privilege that they deserve to be knocked down a peg or two. Remember. Any negative remark we say to these women are likely the first they have EVER HEARD IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.

They aren't really keeping the torch going, they're keeping their youtube channels and personae going.
The way literature has to be kept alive is by being passed from hand to hand, recommended from man to man with no pretext

What is the most important literary work of Western Civilization?
Note: if you say the Bible, you're wrong. Because obviously the most important literary work of Western Civilization has to be made by said civilization, not by some desert people hundreds of years before said civilization even started.

do you really think that western civilization started hundreds of years after the bible was written
>>
>>9483563
Most of us wouldn't be part of that civilization if it weren't for Christianity.
>>
>>9483563
you can always make a continuous line of civilization, there are rarely straight edges to draw, where you can say one civ started _here_. but this is quite irrelevant, since the Bible was written outside of said civilization, the time dimension aside.

Might be the tism, but I was in a lecture the other week where the lecturer was saying matter-of-factly that an author's gender can be easily, obviously discerned from even a cursory reading of their writing. The lecturer gave some examples - a paragraph by a male author and a paragraph by a female author - but I do not recall the authors or texts used.
I was completely puzzled by this. I did not see anything that would indicate what gender the author was.
Does /lit/ agree with my lecturer, and if so, what are the telltale signs of a male author and the telltale signs of a female author?

There are obvious signs in every post here which point to the gender of the poster as well.

ITT we discuss the parallels between the recent "death" of pepe, the story of Finnegans Wake, and the Christian mythos of the death and rebirth of Christ.
is the story of Pepe the contemporary equivalent of joyce's masterpiece? A postmodern crowdsourced authorship of a collective dream befit of our internet times? A jungian reflection of an archetype of the collective unconscious percolated through internet culture? Or merely an artifact of shitposting autists?
