The most cringeworthy thing about your post is your (impotent) pathological compulsion to create a circlejerk thread where other people validate you in your ostensibly superior taste and literary sensibility.

>>8344110
The writing in the two pictures is obnoxiously bad. If your writing is anything like this (which your post suggests it is) I would suggest you give up.

>>8344141
The same could be said of your hideous and degenerate personality.

Her writing may get better. You won't.

>>8344134
Hey this is pretty good, not cringe at all.

I have a guy who refers to himself as both a published author and a Mason. He also constantly decries 'haters' saying that ever since he became a 'published author' he gets a lot of hate, and also writes about sex constantly in an incredibly juvenile way... Should I post the link? Do you guys wanna see it or is that mean? I'm almost positive he's autistic, and I felt kind of bad almost posting it here.

Don't lie: this was you when you were 15.

>>8344110
There's nothing pathological about this.
I found something that seemed "cringe" to me and thought I would share it with my pals over at /lit/.

If I were not to have posted this, I would not have experienced even the slightest bit of discomfort, mentally or otherwise.


And seeing as I've made nothing of my own work or the works I actually admire public in this thread, I fail to see how others would be able to validate my tastes.

It's a cringe thread. It's fun.

Writing is hard and sometimes it's nice to laugh at other people's attempts at it. I never said that my writing isn't or hasn't at one time been as bad as this girl's writing. And I never did anything in the real world to discourage her.


So let us be.

>>8344141
I don't write. I agree it's shit, though, if that makes you feel any better.

>>8344218
>There's nothing pathological about this.

You're like the /ressentiment9k/ faggots who have daily 'women hate' threads, or the /pol/acks who have daily 'nigger hate' threads.

Our equivalent is reddit-threads and this thread.

If you don't see how pathetic this need is, then you're oblivious.

Preface a thread such as this by admitting that you are extremely insecure and need this to make yourself feel better.

Whoa, you sure sound like a happy, accomplished and wise person, with no insecurities or self-loathing problems at all!!

>>8344559
That doesn't make your compulsion any less pathological.

>>8344565
Are you saying you are happy and accomplished and void of feelings of self loathing because you don't make fun of other people? Because I find that hard to believe. Almost every human with an IQ above 60 feels doubt.

While I can't fucking stand reddit, especially /r/writing, I don't see the point to these threads. Some girl writes out a little story on her Facebook that she liked, so what? I'm not going to cringe because it's typical girly shit because that's exactly what I'd expect. It's not like she's going to try to publish that FB post in a short story collection, she doesn't have an editor, and she's not an idiot for writing out something she liked. You just come across as sad and lonely because instead of seeing some girl do something she enjoys and ignoring it, you try to anonymously get others to laugh at her efforts. Post some of your Facebook posts. I bet we can all have a good cringe induced laugh.

>>8347286
>why do you judge someone for posting a silly little thing on the internet
>writes blogpost about why 4chan thread is bad

>>8347286
Holy shit get a grip. You are so so boring. Laughing at other people is fun, and doing it on one of the tamest boards on an anonymous image forum where things, for all intents and purposes are not permanent, is probably one of the most victim free ways of doing it. The posts in this thread denouncing this sort of thing are turning into the real cringe, there's a hint of something pathological about it. Laughing at others is perfectly normal and we've been doing it since the beggining of time - there's probably someone laughing about you right now m8y, I know I am ::^^))

>>8344094
It's not bad. Kind of immature and simple, but at least it comes from the heart.

>>8344218

It's just the nature of 4chan really. It's the only place these people (I am not excluding myself) can gain some vague and momentary feeling of self-worth and half-consistent identity

why is the girl in the story a bitch for no reason?

>>8347479

hahaha, excellent post. reminds me a lot of myself.

>>8347420
yeah yeah, keep spouting your memes. truth is OP is a little shit who wouldnt dare call out that poster for bad writing, and instead went to his seekret klub where an epic raid chanology would rain down on them !!!

this is a board for discussion of literature, not your personal feel good circle jerk

>>8347479
is that what you got from it? it looks like she went through some trauma that fucked her up and is probably schizophrenic or bipolar. "love died for her a long time ago" said the father, maybe a family member died or a previous relationship fucked her up. dunno

It's healthy to be open to ridicule. Otherwise our kids might someday turn into non functioning cucks like you who feel the need to rise to defend a faceless, nameless teenager somewhere who's probably healthy minded enough to laugh at herself from time to time. Get a fucking grip.

>>8347596

Try to get /pol/ to laugh at themselves, it's impossible.

>>8347757
>he fell for the satire meme

good goy

>>8347596
>open to ridicule

But they're not. Instead of letting that person know what they think of their writing OP came here and tried to start a "cringe" thread. Op lacks balls.

>>8347429
I like to think people would grow up over time and mature. Don't know why I do this. Sometimes I forget where I am.

>>8348001
The dynamic is different.

Op took material, possibly from a stranger, from the Internet and is posting it on an anonymous forum where content is constantly refreshing itself.
On top of that he's starting a type of thread that is very typical to this image board and one that always does well in terms of responses.

If I were with a group of friends that I'm fairly well aquainted with and one of them, let's say, was wearing a jacket that was for girls (as in, the cut is for women) but he doesn't realise it himself. When that guy leaves the group we might have as little chuckle amongst ourselves, discussing why we think he's wearing a girls jacket and does he know he is etc. Nothing overly nasty but at the same time making sure it's not with said guy in the room because we all want to share in the humor together but not at that guys expense.

Now let's say it's the same situation but I'm with my best, closest friends, who I feel I can say anything to. Let's say one of these friends goes to NY and comes back with a terrible denim jacket that's clearly cut for a girl (the hips come in too much, shoulders are tight and there's breathing room for tits). Well in that situation we would (and did because this story is true) openly laugh at him in front of him and then get drunk later that night, bring it up again and laugh at him more till he's telling us to shut up. The dynamic is different, we're not all laughing at him because it makes us feel good about our own jackets, we're laughing at his fuckup, and he knows that, while its annoying, it's not from anywhere nasty and he's still very much a friend of ours.

I'm obviously not drawing a direct comparison to cringe threads and that situation. But the dynamic and context account for everything, I don't think this sort of shit is harmful in any way. I don't think it's indulgent or pathological, it's perfectly fucking normal to laugh at other people's mifortune and none of the hero complex sufferers in this thread are going to stop that.

This board was literally an /r9k/ offshoot you just impose some whatever opinion you want on this site and expect people to follow it.
The stereotype of this site is literally "internet hate machine" and this board is a stem of "mysoginy central: the board"; what did you expect?

just post funny things you stupid cunts
