4chan attracts nerds too, though. But the much cooler, more self aware kind. Reddit is just the worst type of people. They're not "normies" but they're insufferable for other reasons.

More than anything, I hate their constant and obnoxious faux optimism. They use way too many exclamation marks, and always act so over the top "friendly" and "tolerant" while also being passive aggresive weasels who viciously censor anything that goes against the image they want to give off. The sheer amount of deleted/removed posts on Reddit is terrifying. It's dystopian.

They're so fucking lame.

There's also Ulysses.

Travesty by Hawkes probably takes place over the course of an hour or two since the premise is just guy takes his daughter and her boyfriend on a drive with the intention of crashing the car and killing all of them, and it starts with them all already in the car.

Also Agapē Agape is just a rant so it could conceivably take place in an hour or less.

Oh, I'm sure they did. I don't think you understand Reddit. You're absolutely not allowed to be "negative" at all. Even constructive criticism has to be prefaced with an apology, and then ended with another apology for daring to do anything but agree and say "good job :) "

The moderators almost certainly just removed every post that didn't jerk off the OP and stroke his ego. The posters were also probably banned immediately.

The only posts allowed in that cesspit of censorship are coddling comments. Also puns, but only completely PC, Pg-13 ones that couldn't potentially offend anyone.

Thats what's fucked up about Reddit. The reason users are all so faux upbeat all the time and tiptoe around each other's feelings so carefully is because if they don't, they'll be punished. Down votes, having posting rights removed, being banned, those are all the price for transgressions.

Every Reddit thread reads better if you imagine the posters sweatings profusely and while carefully, nervously avoiding saying anything mean or offensive. They all have forced smiles, straining. Their eyes reveal desperation and mortal terror. Silent but ever present moderators menace just behind them, watching. Waiting.

>Which brings us to jeremy1122. The redditor—who did not respond to request for comment—first popped up in r/books one year ago to offer "An introduction to Infinite Jest." A trifle presumptuous, you might think: There are plenty of intros to this popular but intimidating book online.

>Then you read his actual post.

>I've read the book about eleven times, so I just want say a few words and address people who are thinking about reading it or are just beginning. Before you embark on your journey into the mind of a genius, you have to understand a few things that are very important. When we talk about David Foster Wallace, we’re talking about a man whose I.Q. could not be measured. Past 200, I.Q. tests get imprecise. We don’t know whether we’re dealing with a man with an I.Q. of 200 or 300 or what. We can’t measure it. When it comes to Wallace-tier geniuses, the standard tests simply don’t apply. You see, Wallace could have entered any field he wanted. He was a real-life Will Hunting.
>>
>>8562510
Is he, dare I say...

our guy?
>>
>>8562510
And he's still posting.
>Congratulations. You've broken your cherry, so to speak. Maybe you don't want to hear about this, but let's just say you're not the first person to soil their pants with poop or pee while reading Wallace, and if you stick with him and keep reading, this little incident isn't going to be your last. Among Wallace devotees, this is such a common occurrence that we consider it a sort of rite of passage. Some guys in the newsgroups even post pictures. Most of it's tame, but I have seen some unholy carnage.

A visit to r/games:
>I learned recently about a video-game term that teenagers these days throw around: "overpowered," or "OP" for short. If a character type in a competitive video game is inordinately more powerful than the others, then it is "overpowered"; the game as a result is deemed "unbalanced," and fans will complain on forums that the developers have delivered to them a swift "slap in the face." It's an interesting metaphor. Life, of course, is no game, and it's a truism that it isn't fair. But every once in a while we get a striking reminder of how unevenly Mother Nature distributes her gifts. Take the literary world for instance. By any measure, David Foster Wallace, the author of the acclaimed novel Infinite Jest, was overpowered. If he were a class in a role-playing game, then you wouldn't hear the end of the complaining. When it came to the writing of fiction, Wallace blew his competitors—historical and contemporary both—out of the water. To borrow another term from video gaming, it's fair to say that he "owned" them. When Infinite Jest hit book stores in February 1996, the title's two words were in the mouth of every serious reader in America; every living writer, however, was faced with a different pair of words: "Game Over."

The downvote system means negative shot rarely gets seen. In my brief foray into reddit a few years ago someone posted a thread asking what books would be considered 'classics' in 50 years. One popjlar post suggested Harry Potter. I made a comment along the lines of 'the most popular genre fiction of the day may still be read in 100 years or so, but that's not really what a classic is, I don't think Harry Potter should sit on the same shelf as Joyce, Proust, Conrad etc.'

I was absolutely crucified, three or four different people commented telling me to shut up and stop being such a pretentious asshole and that I didn't know what fun was and I got like 30 downvotes

>I guess when I was around 12 or 15…I had an existential crisis, and I was reading various books on trying to figure out the meaning of life and what does it all mean? It all seemed quite meaningless and then we happened to have some books by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer in the house, which you should not read at age 14 (laughter). It is bad, it’s really negative. So then I read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which is quite positive I think and it highlighted an important point which is that a lot of times the question is harder than the answer.

Speaking of that, How is making Hermione black for the new thing ANYTHING else but tokenism? I thought we were past that. I think making a character black just so you have a black character is racist as fuck. Personally if I was black, I'd be more offended by this than by a complete lack of blacks. "Oh hey there are no decent black characters in this so we made this white girl black for you. You know, so you can have something good too."

I'd like to see more interesting black characters in media in all honestly. But the same rule applies as to any other character too: "Make it a good one" don't just put something in because you have a fucking checklist.

Reddit is a lowest common denominator website for self-described "nerds". The easiest way for your posts to get upvoted is to make references to "nerdy" culture (i.e. what was socially unpopular 20 years ago).

>>8569061
Yes. They do. Pretty much everything we complain about them for -- they also complain about.

Reddit is just a forum for recycled memes with a superiority complex. I guess it's what you get when you give a bunch of nobodies a pretend "reputation" to uphold.

It's a common trait of autistic people to think of real life as a video game, giving them a way to quantify everything happening to them or at least put things in more concrete terms. Reddit's diagnosis: assburgers.
>>
>not realizing both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The circlejerk on 4chin is equal to leddit, reddit is less circlejerky but there's a disagree button. 4chin is way more circlejerky[this thread] but no disagree button.

false equivalency fallacy rrreeeeeee

but yeah, /lit/ has a circlejerk, but at least it's in a positive and actually literary direction. r/books is towards YA and YA for adults. I think it's because 4chan is inherently a counter-culture but it's pretty sad that reading real books is an edgy thing to do

That's some typical reddit syntax and wording, right there.

Actually that sounds okay. Plebs reading YA won't read good shit, so at least they might as well read genre fiction that's not written by middle class white people

This is the problem with reddit. I got censored on a board for 8 fucking minutes because too many people disagreed with the things I said and I got a few down votes.
>>
>>8575238
You really don't want to belong to a community of narcissists.
>>
>>8562367

>The only posts allowed in that cesspit of censorship are coddling comments. Also puns, but only completely PC, Pg-13 ones that couldn't potentially offend anyone.

>Thats what's fucked up about Reddit. The reason users are all so faux upbeat all the time and tiptoe around each other's feelings so carefully is because if they don't, they'll be punished. Down votes, having posting rights removed, being banned, those are all the price for transgressions.

Pretty great analysis to be ech.

If it weren't for 4chan's weird as fuck user base, there's a lot of things I wouldn't have experienced that are now intrinsic parts of my life, and it's only because anons are such cunts about everything that when they unilaterally agree something's good it often is. (certain boards excluded)

It'd be more interesting if they said Haraldr actually connected via Bluetooth and either did nothing, you could control him, or copy his knowledge. Something that is historical and slightly interesting that doesn't involve Batman.
