Can an openly misogynistic writer have a successful career

Several of them do.

>>8885917
Only with the so-called "alt-right" fanbase (aka /pol/, /r9k/, /r/thedonald, /r/incel, etc.)

>>8885917
No.

Women make up the majority of the reading population today so probably not
You can for sure be low key misogynistic tho

>only these people I don't like can be misogynistic haha

I think so. There's a very strong audience for that nowadays. However, I'm pretty sure the writing would have to be garbage, since it would appeal to a public that is not necessarily associated with literacy.

Not even that guy, but these communities are proud of being misogynystic. There's a thread on /b/ right now about pictures of women dying and being raped.

This. Updike, Corncob, Tao-Lin, the list goes on!

No, neither can an openly misogynistic person in general

>implying misogynists are unintelligent or illiterate
wew

>>8887177
none of these people are openly misogynistic

I think it's pretty clear that there is plenty of room in the market for a self-pitying angry white man genre

>>8887259
Agreed guurrl!

Fuck Drumpf and FUCK white people!

My post didn't imply what you inferred. All I'm saying is that there's no shortage of /r/the_donald eager to spend money on anyone willing to say what they want to hear.

>tfw you have to choose between SJW bullshit or pandering to alt-right manchildren, if you want to be a successful writer
Talk about a rock and a hard place jeez

This. Identity politics and capitalism ruined art.

Real art is made from the innerself, art isnt something that pleases society or an elite.
Avoid trying to market yourself.
Avoid commodification.
Avoid capitalism.
Avoid entertainment

There's a difference between that kind of misogyny and a simply masculine-oriented view of life and humanity.

Almost all the authors in the western canon would be called misogynistic today.

Depends wholly on what you mean by "misogynistic".

Because ideological totalitarians almost always define everything they don't like as their opposition.
