Why has /lit/ become a wasteland of immature, insecure, pathetic, insufferable, cunts? /lit/ used to be a serious board with honest discussion of literature. Now we have "irony" threads which contribute nothing to actual discussion of literature. These memes have killed /lit/. This board might as well be a subreddit. The only things separating /lit/ and 4chan is upvoting. People need to seriously consider what they post, this board should be for the intellectual. I know that sounds pretentious, but it's true. All of us here know the beauty of reading and writing. In some way or another that is what brings us together into this asshole. But, some people on /lit/ are insecure and cannot handle acting mature. They instead rely on memes to make a mockery of wanting to strive for an intellectual platform, one in which actual intelligence, talent, and humility would be necessary.

Lit is dead because of these memes.
Memes are only good in small quantities. This board might as well be facebook.
