It was the 80s and no one cared. Also narrator =/= author.

>>11318369
>the narrator of the story isn't the author
Is this post modernism at its most degenerate?

narrators aren't the authors. Stephen King is too much for you to comprehend kek

>>11318373
Define post modernism

>>11318361
It was a different time. DFW got away with it too, he uses "faggy" multiple times in Infinite Jest and it comes up in some of tennis essays. Sports seem to bring it out of him

>>11318361
sjw's arent the global cabal mra dipshits on tvpolr9kvreddit make them out to be

>>11318361
OP I know that its difficult to understand, having autism and taking things literally and all, but characters doing and saying bad things does not necessarily represent the authors views and intentions and is not necessarily presented as a positive thing

>>11318404
sjws are not a cabal, they are a hivemind created by secularised christian slave morality and the cybernetic extension of the central nervous system. the governance immune response system of the ZOG machine

>>11318378
why should I? nobody else has.

>all characters must be positive
>all characters must use positive language
>all characters represent the authors views and intents
Is OP autistic, or trolling?
Also you "different time" fags aren't helping

>>11318369
>Also narrator =/= author.

I'm going to use this excuse when I publish my manifesto

>>11318423
SJW is a pejorative /pol/ invented to personify everything it hates and feels persecuted by

>>11318397
>Sports seem to bring it out of him
all those sweaty men showing off their physical fitness, can't think why our Dave would think of homosexuality in that kind of situation

>>11318430
It doesn't work for nonfiction

>>11318419
You didn't even read my post. I wasn't referring to what the characters said or did, I'm referring to when he said "the detective turned to the fag and said"

>>11318435
you can't deny the internet has created a hivemind, and the corporations have taken advantage of it in order to make people into interexchangable clones and promote degenerate atomising lifestyles. yeah maybe some of the trannies 'feel better about themselves' but the world has become a sterile place with no mystery. this is why I feel drawn to fascism, and specially esoteric hitlerism, I am drawn to visions of martyrdom and gnostic brutality.if liberals get their way, we'll all be reduced to a single homogenous mass of wheelchair bound polyamorous blobs with pink hair.

He is untouchable in his Bangor castle now with little media presence; he doesn't make himself into a victim of internet lynch mobs. But, it's not like it's gone unnoticed. http://writinghorrorfiction.blogspot.com/2010/09/stephen-king-homophobia-repressed-and.html

It might have become that, but you could not have been around in 2011-14 and come away thinking that a social justice warrior never existed to provoke them.

>>11318470
'social justice warriors' are just demanding empathy and basic human decency for marginalised folks

>>11318426
Postmodern = after the modern
Modern = anxieties of war, the human condition, work, all the things modern humans deal with.
Postmodernism is basically saying all that doesn't matter ultimately. Also deconstructing what meaning is and what we are as humans. Related: Posthumanism

>>11318378
The lack of any objective truth or coherence

>>11318484
>folks
As much a SJW shibboleth as "problematic" or "toxic".

>>11318373
imagine having such a hate boner for postmodernism you toss anything remotely meta into the pomo bin and call it degen, even if its a classic literary device. you think gulliver's travels was written by captain gulliver? moby dick was written by ishmael?

>>11318502
Oh yeah because he used that one word you can't parse his sentence

>>11318487
>modern is things the modern person deals with like work and the human condition
>we have achieve postmodernism

Oh I wasn't aware it was 2045 and we have merged humans with machines and there is no need for work anymore, my bad. I guess Jordan Peterson is a nazi afterall

>>11318500
where's the objective truth in modernism?

>>11318586
That's... not what I said. I was just trying to say it ain't that hard to define postmodernism, at least in a gestalt way. and any /lit/izen worth their salt should have a basic understanding of what it is.

>>11318522
>moby dick was written by ishmael?
It literally was. Deal with it.

bump

>>11318361
If you don't know how to distinguish character or narrator from author than I've got some pretty bad news for you, anon.

>>11318373
Holy fuck, are you actually this retarded?

>>11318361
>So I'm reading chapter 2 in It.
In What?

>>11318484
You’ve said enough, friend. It’s time to go back.

>>11318373
>this is your brain on 'redpills'

>>11318361
SJWs didn't exist back then.

And even if they did, it's not like SJWs read.

>>11318373

>>11318890
>literally
huh?

>>11318430
manifesto are very explicitly narrator = author

>>11318361
hey I'm phomohobic too

>>11318378

>>11320246
"the detective turned to the faggot and said"

What does it give the novel to have the narrator be a homophobe?

>>11318373
You're retarded.

>>11318361
>implying that sjws read
