The establishment uplifts everyone but white men.

The truth is, nobody on /lit/ can even name 3 white male authors that are popular in 2023 who didn't get their start 20+ years ago. We have been replaced and there is next to no reason to even try to get mainstream published, since publishing is alllllll about identity now,

I'm a transgender girl, but I believe that stories should be reviewed anonymously, and only after being approved on the nature of their skill, creativity, and applicable content, should the name/gender/race/etc be revealed.

If women are 90% of the book buyers, they are going to only publish shit that appeals to women, in other words, mostly absolute shite like "The Handmaid's Tale" which is so far divorced from reality and based on nothing more than the fear that women can't murder babies.

Be a big brain, understand that skill has nothing to do with getting published. It all comes down to your identity, the relevance to the establishment of what you write, and your promotability.

If you're a female to male zippertits who writes about sodomizing animals and you have a huge following on Instagram, you're a shoe in for prizes.

If you're a white male writing about how your country is being replaced by foreigners, the political class is corrupt and the streets see countless overdoses and deaths, and you have no sociaol media, do you think the blue haired communist who works as Mr. Sheckleburg Books is going to touch your shit? Obviously not. Especially when they can publish the "diverse" work and raise their ESG scores and get more money from the banks even if they're losing money on the book because it is diversifying their workforce.

https://www.innovatebc.ca/programs/isi/

This is happening all over. Your identity is key to getting jobs in all places in Canadian society, to the point where the government will fund your employer with 10k to hire you if you're a "under-represented group" which ALWAYS MEANS no straight white males need apply.

Was a total slog. Written for women. Absolutely eye-wateringly boring. When the insane brother writes a stupid message in blood or semen, I forget which, on some window for the main character, I was so bored by that point I didn't care what happened. The main character was involved in some sort of sugar daddy relationship (reminded me of 50 shades of grey) and turning each page was an exercise in boredom and why women are truly fucking boooooring.

>It isn’t society’s fault you are maladjusted and unable to fit in
10 years ago, not only did I fit in, I was the center of attention and women threw themselves at me, I have fucked 100's of good looking women without paying a dime for it.

The world has changed for the much worse in the last 10-15 years and that is obvious to nearly everyone, but speaking about it in today's hyper-conformist world is something most people are afraid to do.

I tested this around 2015 or so, I put an ad out for an editor for my 2nd book I was working on at the time, a sci-fi about a space DJ getting mixed up in the hatching of an egg of a lizard race's messiah. I got like 4 replies in a month.

I THEN put up an ad for an editor for an LGBT novel and I had 50+ replies in a couple of days. Fucking insane the difference and that was in like 2015 or so.

Are those specifically places built for white people to go and produce/showcase their work and exclude Japanese people from, all while supported by Japanese state TV and the Japanese government?

15 years ago I saw that what was happening was unsustainable and that dating was undergoing some sort of revolution. I saw other guys get ZERO attention and ZERO pussy while I was getting laid by new women all the time and could've had more but I didn't even use Tinder.

Birthrates have collapsed and more and more people just drop out of dating from dating fatigue.

In my province of B.C., the native population birthrate has dropped even more:

Jason Bryan was 100% right about the City of Singles, we are going to be replaced and this is just a fact. Our laid back, west coast culture is dying at a very fast rate.

You are just like the jock in high school who became a burnout and blame others they were left behind-“man, I used to be someone”. How are others able to have successful and fulfilling lives in this bleak desolate environment? Your problems are literally your own. Your failures are simply your own

I should of just got Thomas Mann's doctor faustus as an ebook but I wanted the John woods translation so I ordered the physical. If only I bought the ebook i would be reading Thomas Mann instead of reading this thread.

>How are others able to have successful and fulfilling lives in this bleak desolate environment?
Have you seen the conformity, greed, and selfishness present in 2023 Canada? The utter corruption of the government? The non-stop lies?

I could fit in easily if I wanted to just maintain a facade of being a "nice guy", but I would rather say the shit that is on my mind, like:
>take a look around, there are more luxury condos than ever, but an equal number of white guys on the streets, overdose deaths, and young browns filling the jobs teenagers used to have an the schools around here.
Not to mention how rents skyrocket because they will pack 4 people into a 1 bedroom apartment that rents for $1800 a month

The wokeness constantly paving over our culture, the diversity movements in every industry and institution, the sheer erasure of anything before this post-modern Canada. I do have a kid and a social life through my family, and the people I know who are rich are actually quite miserable because they do nothing but work, talk sports and mortgage payments. Is this what Canadian life has become? You do not meet interesting people anymore, diversity has only produced total conformity.

When authors are the least cool people, is it any wonder why young men don't read? They listen to Drake and watch sportsball, they worship the guy rapping about cool shit and fucking bitches in a video with Lambos. They aren't learning anything but whatever Mr. Sheckleberg the record label wants the young men to hear, because they sure the fuck ain't reading anything from a guy that has the style and life experience of this fucking dweeb
