>>8500085

WE

>>8500094
10/10

>>8500094
Yeah I haven't read a book in like 3(?) years

>>8500094

>>8500079
What is the point of that challenge?

>>8500122
Its to show whiny SJWs how much their life is diminished without us

>>8500098
It's pointless. /lit/ is kill.

Haha wow she's crazy hey guys lets talk about her saying the same thing for 300 posts hahah

>>8500094
kek

>>8500079

>could you go a year without reading a white male cis straight

I read a lot of philosophy, so... no. You know, philosophy that's actually worth a damn.

>>8500167
>any philosophy
>worth anything

lel

China and japan have rich literary traditions.

>>8500167
Just read the Greeks bruh.

>>8500230
Who told you a Chinaman was a colored man?

>>8500079
>White, Straight, Cis, Male Authors

hmmm... So can you read white, gay, male authors? Lots of good gay works. White males write the best books.

>>8500239
East asian is a comletely different category

>>8500258
read: it doesn't get you SJW points because it's actually good

Seems odd that she'd be wearing a Tardis t-shirt. Isn't Doctor Who basically the platonic ideal of the powerful straight white man with his weak feminine companion?

>>8500094
holy........i want more....

>>8500079
Just books or would I have to quit 4chan?

I'd fail if I took that dumb challenge.

>>8500239
Yellow is a colour.

>>8500250
Oscar Wilde, T. S. Eliot, Rimbaud, Melville to name a few. Spoilt for choice when it comes to gay and bisexual authors/poets

>>8500267
You wouldn't be allowed to even read street signs

>>8500270
Black and white aren't colours.

>>8500272
>eliot
>gay

u wot m8

just cause he was a sperg doesn't mean he was gay

>>8500280
Ezra once, after much nagging from Eliot's part, fucked him between his thighs. I wouldn't personally call him bi based just on that, but a reasonable argument could be made.

>>8500094
kek, this

>>8500239

>>8500079

Are Latin American writers like Borges or Vargas Llosa white cis males for her?
Is it ok to read Homosexuals like Walt Whitman or Wilde?
Is a Jew like Kafka a White cis male?

I am not American btw

>>8500258
Ess jay doubleyous are starting to turn on Asians since they "aren't systematically oppressed" (read: have managed to build productive lives)

>>8500319
none of these are ok anon

if you're not reading black transracialsexual latina womyn you're a shitlord.

>>8500332
It doesn't turn them magically white.
Asians fit the criterias mentioned above.
I win.

Will anything good ever come out of the West again

Are we just going to have fat sassy black ladies and transgender eskimos telling us to tweetblog about their feelings or whatever the fuck is the current zeitgeist until we're all glassed from orbit and paved over to make room for megamosques

Can we at least have a last hurrah moment where we produce some good swan song culture or something? Or is it all finger wagging tranny retards all the way down now

White female writers are the new white male writers, gay or straight. They're just not being shamed by it. Their work generally still only deals with white enui of the 21st century or elaborate meme novels. I have nothing against either but it's infuriating that the publishing world, though largely white and female, believe themselves to have anything different to say than their male writer counterparts

>>8500352
nope. if you're not reading browns and blacks you're racist.

>>8500411
Yes.
I win.
You can't change the rules midgame

>>8500370
We're reaching one of those periods where writing and literature are, culturally, becoming very feminine. We'll just have to wait until it cycles back around to becoming a masculine pursuit again.

>>8500416
the sjw police will be with you shortly
enjoy prison shitlord

>>8500427
Cool!
I get to manage a prison!
That surely pays well

>>8500265
Origin of this one?

>>8500079
Doesn't she not realize classic literature is full of homosexuals and people with unconventional sex lives?

>>8500496
Yea but those people held opinions about things contemporary to their time and didn't hold opinions that are modern so therefore they are not worth the time of day.

>>8500079
I've been boycotting women authors ever since that article appeared.
I don't miss them at all.

>>8500079
Read russian and jewish authors, they aren't white

>Neil Gayman
>white

>>8500496

Male homosexuals are now considered conservatives. Keep up with the trends.

>>8500813
This is the result of two things:
-Leftists appeasing Muslims out of compassion for the disenfranchised (hatred of the strong) and fear of seeming xenophobic
-Feminism subordinating gay rights and using it in increasingly obnoxious ways

It is incredible that the mainstream conservative is even dumber than the mainstream progressive is.

>>8500258
Asians are productive members of society, that's as bad as being white.

>>8500287
>Ezra once, after much nagging from Eliot's part, fucked him between his thighs. I wouldn't personally call him bi based just on that, but a reasonable argument could be made.
Pretty patrician desu

>>8500487
r/books

It's a little known fact that every great book in history was actually written by black men, so this should be easy.

>>8500079
I could do it. Shakespeare was bisexual. If you include white gays, a large portion of our canon wouldn't fit that description.

>>8500079
its always the vaguely black mulattos that latch onto black nationalistic sentiments

I'm bisexual

>>8500079
>I challenge you to stop reading
Challenge accepted, stopped reading right there.

>>8500487
Is asking the origin of memes a meta ironic meme?

>>8500272
shakespeare(bi), the greeks, and whitman too

>>8500370
>>8500417
As much as I sadly agree with both of you, these posts just gave me an idea for my next novel. Thanks, anons.

>>8500261
Yeah tell me about it.

>>8501304

Good post.

>>8500079
Sage

it'd be super easy bc the books i want to read are like 50/50 men/women, but I won't because I'm not a bored, chauvinistic, self-righteous windbag

>>8500094
great meme, even better trips

>>8500094
Your opening sentence is nothing bar the manifestation of the ideal beauty. I just don't know how God himself didn't think of it as an opening line for the bible! Listen I'm a real hardass with my criticism; but trust me I orgasimed thrice while reading it. It made me think good, feel good, and get over my abortion.
The prose is on par with Stephen King's, dare I say, and it really just gets the reader hella hooked! The buildup is already there, and it's FABULOUS! You should definitely finish this and publish it. I'm happy to critique more, and I'm nothing but objective. I'll personally edit it if you allow me. You know you can just come to my apartment, I'm currently living alone so there's an empty room. I guess I can take you in as my personal little boipuspus fucktoy haha! Pls send more.

>>8500079
Does it count if I read no one? Because then baby me made the grade.

WOW BOYO!

>>8500079
Question isn't whether I could, the question is why I should.

>>8500079
I don't know if I would want to, but I certainly don't hold it against those who would. At worst you're just limiting the authors you can read, at best it's an exercise which will broaden your reading horizons.

>>8500431
Ur gay haha

>>8500079
Nah, I don't like reading shit

>>8500079
Ok, I'l only read Black-homosexual-transgender authors®™ for a year
because

Btw the man who said it got his kicks by getting his ass stuffed. The irony is too much

That's because they have a little bit of a white man's genes in them. Just enough to be racist bigots.

and most of the black women getting published are thin (not that it matters to how well someone writes, but publishers do have a bias towards certain physical 'types' of women/people in general) and point me towards all the transgender inuit writers please

there are plenty of white men being published and getting hype, go to a book store maybe?

>>8500402
this may be in large parts true, and the general workforce is made up of middle or upper class white girls, but (generally old) white men are still in most of the actual power positions

>>8500773
please post your reading list of the past few years

What the fuck is it with fat ugly women and Dr Who?

>>8500487

Why are women ignorant of the greatest female writer of all time?

>>8506675
If this isn't the definitive proof that this entire thread is /pol/ bait and circle jerking, I don't know what is

>>8506702
that's always what it is, same image reposted, as though it wasn't annoying clickbait (although I do there there's merit to expanding your reading through not reading work by certain categories of people/countries) and was instead issued from whatever shadowy head quarters of sjw they think exists to make decrees for all women/minorities/lgbt people

but still the illiterates flock here to say how much they only read white men (we get it, you read 1984 this year and feel very proud of yourself)

>>8506563
>and point me towards all the transgender inuit writers please
Have you ever been to Canada? No joke, Inuit literature is by far the most popular of all 'native' literature. It's all a very strange type of YA.

Surely, there must be some transuits being hyped up as well.

>>8500122
Absorbing the experiences of others into your worldview is kinda one of the major "points" of art, and if you have access to this post rn you probably also have access to more examples (in the form of books, comics, "art", however you wanna label the doings of people) illustrating just how fuckin diverse and wild existence can be. I believe the point of the challenge is to expose yourself to more for a bigger worldview.

>>8500167
your tryin to tell me philosophers are all straight man they're all fuckin it's more like philosodomy man am I righ they're all fuckin
