Why is John Green such an annoying faggot?
>>8556036
wtf I love John green now
Seems reasonable and polite
>>8556046
the big JG is literally always reasonable and polite, that's what stresses /lit/ out
>>8556036
Why are you emotionally invested in John Green?
Get your life together
>>8556036
Sorry OP looks like /lit/ is against you more than John Green today
bad thread desu
>>8556036

>>8556066
He has liberal beliefs which trigger a lot of people
What a faggot.
>>8556071
appreciate the feedback -- I'm always interested in discovering fresh literary talents
>>8556036
Because you touch yourself.
>>8556049
mostly because people on /lit/ are horrible people

Such lofty standards.

John Green, I am the John Green in question.
Hi anon! John Green here. This is currently one of the top search results related to me, so I suppose I should answer directly.
1. When we call someone a faggot online the term is directly correlated with their perceived sexual orientation. I think we give sexual orientation too much power.
2. In my admittedly limited experience, the Internet is not particularly good at telling you whether or not you are actually a faggot.
3. This thread is incredibly lucky (and privileged) to not have any faggots in it. I am not sure why you would want to be a faggot. Like, I am not in need of a huge dick in my mouth. I feel like having a huge dick in my mouth would stress me out.
>>8556036
Because he's rich, famous, and millions of teens love reading him and want to give their sweet virginity to him. So, not much impetus to change there.
>>8556036
He didn't actually answer the question. From this, I will assume that he is generally convoluted. I also think that he's naive and a bit contrived. These are all speculative, but i have a feeling that I'm right.
>4. Offshore banking
P sure there's 1 guy in here (OP) making all the posts about how much he hates John Green
I really find nothing wrong with the guy, he found a niche in the market and he fulfilled it. I won't read it because it's not for me, but whatever. I read books of equal quality when I was younger, albeit a bit different in subject matter.
>>8556036
This is a guy who identifies with teenagers way too much.
>only five million
Oh piss off you porky cunt
>>8556036
>Like,
Fucking grow up
>>8556036
Just noticed how similar his rhetorical style is to our Dave's.

>not wanting a yacht
Yeah they're a lot of work to own but there is really no more relaxing way to travel. If I had that kind of money I wouldn't even live in a house.

>oh my shirt?... It's no big deal just something I picked up on a little trip down to Barcelona. Now if you'll excuse me I'm left my cartoonish red paperback dictionary somewhere on this stoop and I need to get back to looking up various words, they are my, heh *tips do-rag* livelihood after all

This is actually kind of funny.
Imagine being a young girl searching for info about your favorite author, and then you click on this question, and there's your favorite author telling you how the thing you want to know doesn't matter.
>>8556515
Thank you for your time mr. green
>>8556515
Wow you're so clever and original I wish I could be more like you
>>8556036
I couldn't agree more.
>>8556036
>not wanting to stimulate the market and create jobs by buying a yacht
retards like him are the reason the economy is failing
Money is supposed to be spent

great post desu senpai
>>8556036
OP. Do not be fooled by these morons. If this is real thing JG did it's absurdly narcissistic and sickening and it makes me wretch. To answer your question, it's because he affects an air of intimate and honest and somewhat simple "wisdom", which is contrived and false and self-serving and trite.
>>8557134
You're dumb as fuck. It's not like he's saving his money. Seriously, look up all the different projects he's worked on and you'll understand why he's done more for the economy than you could ever dream of.
>>8556786
that's not an accident
he loves dfw and purposefully rips him off
says nothing about dfw except that maybe he should have made his writing even more inaccessible
>>8556036
People on /lit/ don't like him but largely haven't read him. I've read him and I've always been indifferent. Personally, I think he's just your average YA author. I don't think he has any dishonest intent to what he does, it's just that what he does doesn't tend to appeal to me, for the same reason that YA in general doesn't appeal to me. I just think his writing fails. It seems like a collection of "quotables", the kind of sentiments that can be easily be pasted onto large images and passively observed by random facebook users who will then go out and buy the book its from hoping for general "life advice". I'd say this is less of a result of shady marketing on his part and moreso a result of his mindset toward writing.
If some kid reads him and likes him, I'm not going to go full-Bloom and call them a faggot. Kids like shit like that and kids will eventually grow out of shit like that. I don't see it as a proper introduction to literature, though.
>>8558440
kids are faggots
>>8556055
>tfw you realise John Green is everything that DFW ever wanted to be but DFW fell for the intellectual meme
woah
I've never read any of his stuff but I hate him because everyone else does and I want to fit in. Or because I'm a contrarian.
I should read his stuff then insult him but who has time for that.
>>8556386
This. Reminds me of what Zizek said about intimacy being formed through insults & dirty jokes. I would take Sam Hyde calling me a stanky ass ho who needs a bref mint over John Green's plastic cuteness
>>8557399
Thank you!
tfw i have more money than John Green
An abundance of Katherines was okay lit.
>>8556036
The most revealing part of this answer is that he never mentions donating a bunch or shit like that.
How much is that football sponsorship costing him?
>>8556515
Saved.
