Can't conceive of someone thinking your precious lit is boring as fuck and is a dead horse that you all beat daily by listing the same 10 books over and over again and making memes about farts, while new and exciting creations are happening every day, with brilliant talent behind it that you turn your lame ass noses up to because "games are for degenerates and plebs" while you sit and bang your heads against boring ass shit and demean others for not banging their heads against it as well?

>>8424843
harder!

>>8424848
no no, i wouldn't want you to be unhappy thinking your superiority badge is worthless in the modern world, and all those pages that swept by were utterly pointless, and that you didn't even have fucking FUN when they did.

>>8424843
Seriously low quality bait. Have a (you) though, I hope it makes you a little happier.

>>8424859
>fun

>>8424863
yeah, it's bait. just fucking bait. fuck you, you loser. you don't even read, you sit on this board and wank off to the books you pretended to read when you were 15.

>>8424865
yeah, fun. pleasure. fucking enjoyment. you know, that shit that you haven't had in years being a pretentious loser who can't loosen the fuck up?

>>8424867

>>8424871
You sound "fun."

>>8424877
Oh and you're a barrel of fucking laughs, you snide prick. My attributes are irrelevant to my message. You guys even shit on your own kind who enjoy reading books that are "too simple". No honor among you faggots posing every god damn day.

>>8424875
same as ur "vidya"

>>8424884
Thanks for not disagreeing.

>>8424887
i'm not pretending to write a videogame, faggot.
i'm not using my videogames to seem better than i am. I don't mention tales of phantasia in casual conversation to try to seem more intelligent. I don't sit and play a game I don't like because it'll give me "character" or make the losers on 4chan respect my worldliness. It's a fucking joke. You have no idea how fucking similar some of the nitpicking you faggots do on this board is to the mindless drivel they talk about on /v/. At least the /v/fags have the luxury of actually having experienced first hand the content they talk about, whereas you faggots wiki for hours.

>>8424897
Did you really come here to sincerely insult people? It's a bit sad.

>>8424897
>i'm not using my videogames to seem better than i am.

Thanks for admitting you have a long ways to go. Godspeed.

Is this a joke?

>>8424908
Jokes are funny.

>>8424902
yeah, and when i come here to talk about books, all i get is "oh what a pleb", "what a fag", "those books are for fucking idiots", and mindless shitchat and memes that are utterly meaningless. yeah, i'm the asshole around here.
>>8424907
>look at me, i'm a smug faggot!
>>8424908
yeah, /lit/ is a fucking joke all right.

>>8424913
maybe you should read something more "advanced" than Eragon


I'm sorry, should we be discussing the latest entry in the Super Mario Bros. series?

>>8424913
grinding his gears now

>>8424918
Not him, but you're obviously a teenager trying to "get in" on the cool bait.

It's time to stop posting.

>>8424924
I unironically don't know what you mean by that

>>8424918
I mention Dumas and people shit all over me. Sorry I don't fucking read Pessoa and Bolano and fucking Joyce. I guess i'm just such a fucking simp i can't ever understand anything, and any conversation about such simpleton literature like the three musketeers or great expectations is just a fucking waste of time for all of you since you're all fucking god damn geniuses.

>>8424927
That's how I know you're a teenager. A low comprehension level combined with a blind attempt at humor it telling.

>>8424928
Well now you're talking some sense.

What's the matter? Are a fart-sniffer's ramblings really too complex for your feeble mind?

>>8424928
more please

>>8424918
besides, this is exactly what i'm talking about. you're shitting on people who enjoy books like Eragon, as if you're somehow fucking superior because you've surpassed such intolerably inferior works, you're fucking not. You couldn't even manage to WRITE Eragon, you faggot. you fucking worthless faggot. go finish that book you're pretending to write and see how worthless you really are.

>>8424930
OK so you're baiting for responses. I think I understand now.

>>8424932
Again, bringing down the curve of the anti-baiters.

>everything is good
>it's impossible to appreciate something you couldn't create


what causes this mindset? Do you have low self-esteem or something? It's bizarre to me that someone could go through so much effort to defend the inferior.

>>8424939
You must be new to the world.

>>8424937
you mad cuck?

>>8424932
No, I've fucking read Ulysses. I've read the Recognitions, I've read fucking Pynchon and all that boring shit. It doesn't make you superior reading any of that fucking junk. Most people on here only read that shit as a badge, and it's painfully fucking obvious when they mention it to beg for acceptance. What in the fuck is wrong with enjoying BOTH. or enjoying what some faggot professor would call trash? what's wrong with the old woman who reads victorian penny novels all day? Oh but they hasnt startd widda greiks, dey musb stooooopid. you're impenetrable faggot losers who fail to have any decent conversation without shitting on every attempt at a discussion about one's favorite authors. no, you'd rather list out your ideal books and bicker over which one is superior for 6 hours like you're fucking getting anywhere, which is amusingly similar to what /v/ does. bicker over their favorite games. you losers are so similar you don't even fucking realize it.

>>8424944
>memes

>>8424947
>saying you're the same as us

Thanks for trying to reach to our heights, but no.

anyway, this place isn't for readers, it's for posturing shitheads. sure, there are some good people here, but they should go find someplace that they're appreciated instead of feeding on this poisonous shithole.

>>8424942
well I've seen people do it on facebook, or in politics, but I assumed that was virtue-signalling, or trying to get elected.


What I don't understand is why someone would do it anonymously online. They have nothing to gain from it, so they HAVE to be totally sincere.

>>8424947
I think you've just got shit taste. It's nothing to be ashamed about, but you probably won't enjoy an elitist board like /lit/ if you're this insecure about your taste in literature.


Besides, how can you find Pynchon boring when every page has another goof or gag?

>>8424953
oh, i'm sorry, i'll let you get back to memeing about moby dick and white males.

>>8424954

>>8424935
There's a fantasy thread if you want to talk about Eragon. Plenty of people with shit taste post in it so I think you'll be fine there. Not even joking btw.

>>8424958
>shit taste
more fucking nonsense trying to hurt someone else for no better reason than posturing on an anonymous board.

good fucking job.

>>8424958
>understanding irrational behavior

We're animals, not computers, dear.

>>8424967
I'm not trying to hurt you, you coward.

You really must feel inferior.

>>8424958
That's why he's my favorite author

>>8424970
Right, but there's got to be some "irrational rationale" for this behavior.

It's just so foreign to me. I mean I eat Zaxby's occasionally, but I would never claim that it's not trash food. It's delicious, but it's trash.

>>8424972
>insulting another person's subjective opinion, while pretending that theirs is somehow superior, then calling me a coward on an anonymous board.

i don't feel inferior at all. i don't insult people who aren't constant shitheads. i've seen how you fuckers treat noobies to literature, shitting on them like they're fucking morons, leading them around in circles and demeaning them, i don't feel inferior, people who act like their opinions are better than others feel inferior.

Some fruedian bullshit or something like that?

>>8425000
I don't think a majority of the users of this website like themselves. They may have confidence in their intelligence though, I'll give you that.

>>8424978
The rationale is that "inferior" and "superior" are opinions.

>>8424980
If this isn't bait (which is extremely unlikely, but I'm bored), then you won't convince anyone acting this way. Be confident in your opinion, and realize when other people are going to stick to theirs. I agree with you, but I don't go around evangelizing the subjective nature of art, there's no point.
