No, you are.

You got to be a vainilla to say he is edgy, or over the top. Violence and sex in real life can be even more excessive

He's what /r9k/ would be if they realized that most NEETs genuine ARE ugly/undesirable/etc, and came to terms with that fact.

>>8446897
He's the hero we need

Is he the modern Camus?

He's the Dostoevsky of the 21st century.

He's just "edgy" according to retarded whiny cunts because of the topics he writes about.

“I am persuaded that feminism is not at the root of political correctness. The actual source is much nastier and dares not speak its name, which is simply hatred for old people. The question of domination between men and women is relatively secondary—important but still secondary—compared to what I tried to capture in this novel, which is that we are now trapped in a world of kids. Old kids. The disappearance of patrimonial transmission means that an old guy today is just a useless ruin. The thing we value most of all is youth, which means that life automatically becomes depressing, because life consists, on the whole, of getting old.”-Houellebecq
In a word, yes. But he's good enough of a writer to get a pass.

That's not really edgy, it's true. We're living in an age that worships youth, in all its vapidity.
