DFW is by far the easiest trigger on here. People love him but all know deep down he is total shit and it isn't any different than a juvenile attachment to an author like Stephen King. DFW is reddit in the large sense, which is why people get so defensive. How about just growing up intellectually and aesthetically? Move on and leave him as a fond memory of a more innocent plebeian time
