/lit/ - Literature

I was thinking the same thing. Such a fucking shame.

please end me

I haven't seen any quality contributions to a critique thread in ages, and I can't even remember when the last legitimate poetry critique thread was. It seems like the population in this place has dwindled and the few trickling in are just meme-ified underages. No more constructive conversations or glimpses at what some very talented individuals are working on anymore. It is a shame, but I don't know of a good replacement for this place.

"Are there any good books?". The fuck is he doing on /lit/? Ban the fucker.

>>11165751
Just make better threads.

Should all frogs and wojaks be banned?

>>11165761
do you even know the scale of the autism fit that would result in?

>>11165743
ARE

>>11165695
thanks for the suggestions OP, bout to go check out that frog thread on bottom right. What happened to froggy anon reading Moby Dick at Starbucks? guess I'll find out in a few seconds

>>11165761
Also Jordan Peterson discussions limited to one per week.

>>11165761

if there is consistent culture other stronger ubercultures will oppress and consume the weak detritus of a sub-culture, the weak should fear the strong.

>banning wojacks
ridiculous, and you wonder why /lit/ ez dieing!!!1!

Frogposters don't contribute much, but there has been quality discussion in meme threads despite the OP
The true cancer of /lit/ are feminist Twitter screenshot threads with titles like "what are some books about x" that get 300 replies

There is nothing wrong with the actual threads. At least its not thotposting anyore

>>11165761
If you want 4chan to die then sure
Wojak, Pepe, and smug costanza are like the Father, son, and holy spirit of 4chan

>>11165695
It's because no one posts the Novalis copypasta anymore.

>>11165761
No, I like the Zizek one.

/lit/ has been ship-of-theseus'd by newfags and crossboarders over the last year and 1/2.

>>11165812
tbf reddit has pretty much destroyed wojak
the whole soi/brainlet wojaks are completely opposite the general spirit of the meme

>>11165840
It's been happening since 2015. I sometimes wonder if it is punishment for Katie.

>>11165849
Maybe it's one of those qt Patricia Highsmith lesbian twists, and it's just butters without her (male) trip, placing thots in our path so we can betray her (male) in her absence and she can punish us like the hand of fate.
>>11165695
Frogs and communicating entire arguments in kek are a necessary element of any true process of Dionysian aesthetic discernment. Stop being merely clever.

>>11165695
I'm sure there is some sort of conspiracy to dumb down all discussion on the internet. I went on Reddit earlier today and there wasn't a single post on the first 5 pages about anything from history or science. I thought Reddit and 4chan were bad years ago and now they are so much worse, there is just nothing of value ever posted on either site, it's just all memes, politics and normie shit.

>>11165761
Frogs at least. Literally nothing to do with literature. It’s a symbol of the untermensch and makes me sick

>>11165761

big heads and green man scare grug

>>11166110
this makes me sad

Wojack is supposed to be about accepting people no matter where they are on the gender spectrum.

>someone actually reported frog threads

This

>>11166655
kek

>>11166655
someone put a lot of effort into making that monstrosity

>>11165695
This is what happens when you let /r9k/ pseuds and /tv/-tier shitposting define your board culture.

>>11166655

Why would anyone draw that? What do you guys think that person is like?

>>11165695
What astounding hubris you display, OP. On your knees. Beg forgiveness of Hiromoot, for you are a poor sinner like any frogposter.

Yeah I left /lit/ more than a year ago and it has really taken a dive in quality. I left because the /pol/cunts were coming out of their caves and vomiting their verbal diarrhea even in /lit/. Couldn't stand my mind to be fucked with like that here or the rest of 4chan, so I left. Just came back for a bit for nostalgia but I am not staying here long ofcourse.

>>11165695
Me on the right

this thread is even worse!!!

>Everything you remember was better than it is now. Everything is degenerating.

Fucking reactionairies.

>>11165740
Absolutely true. If I had an tech knowledge, I would have made my own board to encourage the type of place /lit/ once was (and hope it would improve).

>>11165761
They should be ignored and saged if you have to reply.

>>11167049
browses /r9k/ and /soc/, porn addiction, faps to traps, semi-ironic about his condition. Got onto the Trump train like many young impressionable people quickly to be disillusioned by the political reality. Likes to argue for positions he doesn't hold. Makes bait threads on /pol/. Probably in highschool. Watches anime but also complains about weeaboos while ironically acting like a hardcore otaku. Fails to see his hypocrisy.

>no prospect for a stable family with kids
>little prospect for a decent-paying job
>little prospect for home ownership
>blind dogmatism is stronger than ever before (muh subjectivity)
>the mentally ill are being castrated
at least we have unchecked sexual freedom and widespread drug use

>>11165761
I agree that this board has gone to fuck, but DON'T take away my wojaks

>>11166655
why does this exist

>>11166655

KEK

>>11167239

this thread is worse than anything on this board - why hasn't a mod deleted it yet?

>>11165695

>>11165724
It doesn't have to be a shithole

>>11167066
same story, senpai. was fun being oxfordgirl though.

>>11165846
Eh, I feel like that started when Wojak became the victim in the poo poo pepe threads.

>>11167193
>three exclamation points
The absolute state of /lit/

>>11165724
Let me guess, you came here after 2010. Please lurk more, or better yet go back to gaia/reddit/9gag.

Do you know how to block threads?

>>11168882
its not at all, its really bad and i am leaving now but some of the akshual threads are significantly worse

should stress that /pol/ and reddit are responsible for this, /tv/ wouldn’t be emboldened without /pol/ being allowed to be retarded with impunity

>>11167211
>tech
Moot was a moron and just stole the source code from 2chan. It doesn't take a lot of tech to replicate or emulate 4chan

>>11165740
>>11167211
Someone should make artschan

As bad as 4chan is its still a cut above any other site on the web, that's the sad truth. Nothing depresses me more than a youtube comment section.

/lit/ has been in steady decline for years
where have you been

>>11165695
Robots took over.

>faux-intellectualism is the latest right wing grift du jour
>surprised /pol/ is now infesting /lit/

>>11169877
I remeber Ayn Rand, Evola and Spengler being discussed frequently on /lit/ long before the whole alt-right fad. It's just that the quality of posts was somewhat better.

>>11165695
Pepe's and Wojacks are acceptable if there's good prompts.

>>11165695
Probably a quarter of frog posts are by the london poster - the one who is always binging on fast food and feeling sorry for himself. I don't know about running image boards, but isn't some kind of IP ban possible?

>>11167239
haha can you imagine such a loser haha
