How does copypasta influence to evolution of literature taste in our community?
Why do so many people them to be hilarious? It's not really bait and switch, in this case.

I live in an isolated cabin the Pacific northwest. One sunny Summer afternoon I was out chopping wood when I was accosted by a full grown female grizzly bear. She pinned me down and by force, made me suckle her teats. I realize now that she must have had cubs that were killed and now she was aching to be milked. With no choice, I obliged, and suckled every last drop of bear milk that my trembling lips could manage. When that deed was done, I feared she would maul me to death, but instead, she ripped off my dungarees with her jaws and forcefully fellated me. There was nothing I could do but to lay there and take it. Her tongue was very soft, pink, and warm. She used her teeth a little bit, but only in a playful manner. Once we had finished, she bent over me, and urinated on my face. Marking her territory, I suppose. She then vanished into the woods. I became a man that day, for better or for worse.

Reminds me of that time when I was at SeaWorld and got a chance to swim with the killer whales. One of them tugged down my board shorts and forcefully gave me fellatio with its gigantic tongue. Sure it was wrong, but noone dared stop it. Those things are huge. The tongue was very pink and soft and warm. The behemoth used its teeth too, but in a gentle, playful manner. I became a man that day, for better or for worse. I returned to the water park but a few years ago. I attended the show of the beast in question. Front row seats. In between tricks i perchanced to glance at the great whale's eye, and caught a wink. The whale remembered me, and I it. That day, under the crimson sun, surrounded by people, the killer whale and I shared a secret moment that stretched on into eternity. And it is one moment that I will never forget, nor shall the whale. Of this much, I am sure.

It was a cold Autumn day when the spider came to me. My house is big and old and every year there's spiders all over it around this time, but this year it was different, for normally the spiders hide in corners and dark holes from monsters like me. But this year as I was cleaning I sat down to rest, shirtless and without any underwear beneath my pants as is the tradition in my family, and this spider came out from nowhere and started using her tiny legs to massage my sheathed dick. Her many eyes watched me and I watched her and it was strange but neither of us had any words for the moment. She unzipped me with tenderness and then danced her legs across my shaft and stroked me in the soft light of the descending afternoon sun. She kissed me with her mandibles in a playful manner and I beheld her terrible beauty and admired the bulbous shape of her opisthosoma. By the end of that day I was surely a man, for better or worse.

Why is music and painting and even film making considered cool, but writing is relegated to the realm of autism?

Even non pretentious shit is considered gay.

I'm talking about on an individual level, on Facebook and instagram and shit.

Writing is just not lauded as a 'cool' art form.

This is an incredibly underage post, but it's because it's not easy to show off your literary tastes. Songs, painting, it's a quick glance, quick picture or clip: "that's artsy, woah", but reading involves hundreds of pages read in solitude.

“Her antiquity in preceding and surviving succeeding tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant resplendent propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible: her attraction, when invisible.”

This is a passage from Ulysses.

Can someone please explain what makes this good writing? Because all I see is purple prose

How do I gather the courage to just drop everything and move to Maine so that I can finally dedicate myself to writing literature?

Are you the same guy who posted about his fantasies in which he got a gf first, _and then_ moved to Maine to write lit?

What is it about Maine? The lobster is tasty, but the winters are brutal and the citizens are clannish.

>Are you the same guy who posted about his fantasies in which he got a gf first, _and then_ moved to Maine to write lit?

Yeah, that's me, friend.

>What is it about Maine?

Well, New England has always interested me. And incidentally, I figured Maine is the best state there because its the northern most state, bears great nature, has an abundance of sea shore and lobsters, and contains a low population. To be honest, I don't know much else about Maine-- I've never even visited before. But I'm planning on going sometime soon. I'd probably choose to live in or relatively close to an urban area, now that I think about it...

Winter and snow there is something I'm definitely aware of, friend. And it isn't even all that bothersome to me, especially because the part of the country I'm from never experiences New England snowfalls. Moreover, DUDE LMAO just got passed. That right there tells me that Maine's populace has got to be relatively cool. They also have great gun laws, which means I can own firearms and hunt game. And realistically, assuming I've gathered sufficient courage by then, I'd probably move to Maine, despite not having a girlfriend. Geographically, it's cornered and cut off by New Hampshire and surrounded by Canada, so I'm sure the women there are different from the rest of the sleazy women in America, and getting a girlfriend should be no problem.

Maine seems like the perfect place for me.

Do you agree with "art for art's sake"?

Personally I think it's a bullshit

It's like a physicist saying "do you agree stuff is what it is?"

Kind of need more detail to tease out what exactly is meant by "art for art's sake"
>>
No but I don't totally discount "art" that is labeled like that. I just take it at face value, do I like it, if so then I'm fine with it existing. If not, I couldn't care less
>>
Friedrich Nietzsche claimed that there is no art for art’s sake. He asked: "…what does all art do? does it not praise? glorify? select? highlight? By doing all this it strengthens or weakens certain valuations….Art is the great stimulus to life: how could one understand it as purposeless, as aimless, as l'art pour l'art?”

I'm jealous, a lot of those books look well worn.
being able to completely absorb yourself into a universe is great but also being able to get into in depth conversations with other neckbeards when you're playing the game must be bliss.
I'd just feel like im wasting time i could be spending reading literature if i tried to read those.

The only one I can think of is Mason & Dixon.
