Do you think that if this board removed forced anonymity and people eventually got to know each other and each other's writing style, then a sort of new literature movement (or an attempt at it) would arise?

Bad enough this board is heavily colonized by redditors without turning it into a literal subreddit. Just go to /r/books if you want a circlejerk so bad.
This community could not exist without anonymity. There are other places to discuss you writing with out anonymity, not least of which are IRL writing clubs.

This. I troll philosophy threads. I'm an all-star in my craft. A couple of days ago some fucker got so mad at my trashing Deleuze's "obscurantist prose" he gave me a 3 or 4 post long dissertation in defense. I haven't even read Deleuze.
Removing anonymity would crush those magic moments we all love.

No, because there is already a place where people go to do that, and reddit has sorta-kinda began a revolution but that's a wide gap.

My gott.
>>8798133
No.
>>8798133
It would improve the board tremendously

You ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Holy fuck. Is this the post you're referring to?

If not, disregard. If so -
I was legit trigged by this b/c you called me a pseud. You literally made me ask myself: am I a pseud? And you know what - I thought, he's *right.* Maybe I really don't know what I'm talking about here. Maybe I should raise my game. I wasn't mad at all. I was embarrassed. I thought maybe you were right.
So I thought about it for a while, and then I came back and wrote that "dissertation." More to prove a point to myself. Like an idiot.
But now, *this.* Just interesting to see how this all worked out. Thanks for letting me know you were trolling me. I have one reason and one reason for coming on 4chan, and that is how to learn not to be trigged. Someday I will learn how and then I will quit this place forever. But if you really were the guy who wrote that, then

/lit/ =/= writing board
>>8798151
Lit used to be for discussion before /b/ and /pol/ started appealing to society's worst instincts and brought in a ton of people who think everything from TV, literature, visual art, etc has to should match their ideals or make them feel comfortable.

>before /b/
The first couple of months were defined by /b/
>>8798151
good point
>>8799055
Not before /b/ existed, before it was infested with the weirdos that have to make everything an argument about cultural marxism. /pol/ was a commie board before the past seven years or so. And I just realized I've been here too long.
