Yet this angers /lit/ for some reason

>>21975050 (OP)

i only read to feel superior about myself, so yes of course it angers me.

>>21975050 (OP)

I hope you don't suppose that it's real reading?

>>21975050 (OP)

I don't care about any of those. My favorite authors are obscure and some not even translated.

It's one thing to read a book, and a whole different thing to look at its words, memorize plot points and then regurgitate from an online analysis of said book.



These people will always exist. Young people can't understand books, or any art really. It comes with life experience. Someone telling you their story does jack shit to you if you view it from a "he did this, she said this, he thought this" lens. Give the kids some time, those who actually care about books will grow out of this and into people who can truly appreciate books. It's not (too) fair to judge a generation harshly for listening to influencers.

Really, the only difference I see here is that this generation of young people has an outlet to spew their "insights", accessible to everyone. We were all teenagers once but the dumb things we said weren't permanently(ish) imprinted on a twitter feed or youtube comment section or tiktok. So naturally the kids think they're special or the first ones to have independent thought. 



This naive vanity leaves a mark on all webspaces.

I'll be honest - I don't care much about books and this board can eat a bag of dicks, but 4chan as a whole is suffering from loudmouthed zoomers shitting everything up. The normalization of anime can done irreversible damage to this website. Fuck kikes.



Gatekeeping is good.

The truth of the matter is that nothing makes /lit/ happy since this board is majority non-American the definition of the word “optimism” escapes them and just like your average black woman they get off on it. I’d even wager there is not much difference between them in a spiritual sense and everything that sets them apart is purely aesthetic.

You have to learn to read. Normalization of anime is referring to real life spaces and the broader internet as a whole not 4chan specifically which everyone who isnt a retard has always know is an anime image board.

I read about superior to feel anger, so yes course it myself me.
