>>9864875

Hasn't that book been out for ages? I keep seeing people posting it but I'm sure it was definitely a thing when I worked at Waterstones last Christmas.

>>9864939

Scratch that. It came out in May. I swear I saw another one of those zero books that mentioned 4chan on the cover.

>>9864941
People have been posting about this one since it was announced. It's not as though anyone here feels the need to read something before criticising it.

Sage goes in all fields.

This book is poorly-sourced, too short, incorrect on many fronts, and overlooks vast portions of the websites and subcultures it discusses. The author shows a great deal of disdain for the people she's writing about. Her ultimate conclusion is essentially that we need to return to milquetoast liberalism.

Delet this.

>>9865241
it triggers you, then.

I actually have, over time, been compiling a book about 4chan and its culture. It goes through the early progenitors of the board, the evolution of 4chan culture, and more.

Basically it keeps arriving back at the same place though the more I try and edit/cut. 4chan, at least in its main userbase, is the story about disenfranchised young mend who laugh at the world to hide things from themselves, who build contests based on their own misery, to try and feel camaraderie with strangers, who look for a way to be alone together, and honestly there is something beautiful about it.

>>9865241
yeah. the whole thing is "woke" centrism: the book. i.e. it confirms nobody's biases ergo everybody hates it

>>9865390
4chan is very Romantic in a way.

>>9865393
Lol. It's leftism in the tradition of Christopher Lasch. Nothing woke or centerist about it.

>>9865419
oh yeah. in her interviews she obviously espouses labor-leftism/lite-socialism. she's super timid about left-wing introspection in person compared to the text, which is kind of an interesting reification of her theory within her own subconscious and interaction within the leftist community

No book could be written about 4chan from an outsider and actually be good to someone from here, it's just not possible; there's something about the 4chan experience that can't be gleaned from simple research and has to be taken from hours spent fishing for (you)s

Caught any fresh ones recently ?

>>9865450
it's not all that complicated. don't deify an anonymous image board, you nerd.

>>9865450
Agreed.

I do think that someday there will be a quality written account of 4chan, done by someone who is actually a 'native' of the site. And it would be better than the stupid and untrue platitudes found in >>9865390

First of all, you cannot start with the /b/-/r9k/-/pol/ continuum, which gets overexposed since it's the part most famous among normies. You start with the interest boards--/a/, /v/, /co/, etc.--which are really the heart of 4chan's culture.

>>9865470
Agree partially, but the triumvirate of /v/, /r9k/, and /pol/ (/b/ is an entirely irrelevant board nowadays) IS an important part of the culture, just not the entirety of it. I think outsiders and researchers focus on /pol/ and /b/ because they grab headlines and generally do outlandish shit

>>9865470
The culture of shared misery is one of the core parts of 4chan.

>>9865489
I wouldn't group /v/ with the others because it's culture is far more similar to other interest boards like /a/ and /tv/

Honestly, I consider /pol/ an outlier

>>9865470
>/co/

>>9865506
That response only proves the point

>>9865489
The three most culturally influential boards are [s4s], /c/, and /lit/

the problem with kill all normies is that it is purely descriptive. she's not promulgating any solutions and she's particularly not interrogating any of the issues and supposition at the crux of the internet edgysphere.
either she's too dumb to come up with prescriptive answers or the answers she has would see her excommunicated from polite, cosmopolitan society if she publicized them.
>>9865629
nice meme, mind if I save it?

>>9865694
That's her plan. Of course she cannot make her first book controversial. Her upcoming book(s) will, I am fairly certain.

/mlp/ is more relevant that /co/ since it actually made a unique culture. What has /co/ done to troll other comic book forums? Probably noting of note. People on MAL/crunchyroll are literally afraid to go on /a/ because of it's reputation. /co/ is literally a backwater ghetto noone gives a shit about. The nip mediums rule in popularity on this site, so this is understandable.

He barely references can culture except in the abstract, doesn't delve into the individual board cultures and ends by saying that Nagle should have interacted more with channers
