I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT BOARD

Chart threads help you find books you might like based on others you like
Shelf threads help you get a sense of Yea Forums‘s general taste and preferences
Current book threads give anons a chance to discuss books that wouldn’t survive on threads of their own, thus allowing more ideas to circulate than those present in just the most popular novels

reddit spacing and reddit opinions
maybe if you hurry you can catch up with OP

why do you feel the need to lie anonymously?

I wasn't lying. I haven't posted here in 3 moths. I do stop by from time to time, to see what's up, and usually when I do I end up shitposting the whole day, like today.

Why are they reddit opinions? Keep in mind, I don't go to reddit, all I know about it is the odd reference to it, like in this case.

If I write like reddit does, what does that mean? I think like them? Or that I like to use separate paragraphs for separate points, even if a point is only a short sentence or two.

Also, your greentext failed and you don't use capitalization or punctuation, so you don't exactly stand in a strong position to criticize my style. You are probably one of those assholes shitting up this board and don't want people like me taking action against it.

a few years ago the board was endless circlejerking over pynchon joyce dfw. now its slightly more interesting discussion about deleuze whitehead land

>People aren't discussing text-based media on an image forum to the degree that I want!

This place is better without whiny shits like you

Well, jannies deleted a good thread yesterday (or day before) that actually had real discussion about literature.
And then we got spammed with Guenon and tranny bullshit.

Bye

It's not about that. It's about shit threads like which is entirely off topic and 5+ threads about Guenon.

This is an image forum about literature. If you want to talk about other things, don't do it here.

thread you quoted plus guenon threads are way more interesting than the endless idiots posting about high school required reading that you seem to want. this is the best board for those topics whether or not you like it, just filter the threads.

And to be clear, threads like "prove that x is y. protip you can't" counts as meme noise shit posts, even if x or y is technically related to literature.

They are hard to filter, these assholes always reformulate the content or shift the argument in the image, not the post.

>Yea Forums is the best board for /r9k/ threads
>threads about books shouldn't be here
please just go back

how is eastern thought r9k you spastic

Also, I don't constantly want to update and prune my filter list because some fucktards are shitposting or trying to force memes all the fucking time.

But, if that is the way Yea Forums is going, and people are just going let it happen, then I guess all good things come to and end. For whatever counts as good on Yea Forums anyway.

Still, at least for now /generals/ are still comfy.

Holy shit you are stupid.

Incels are way more prevalent here than I thought. Worst part is, they try to make their opinions sound less retarded by being eloquent.

stack/shelf threads actually bring people out to talk about books on their shelfs its only the rich people in those threads but at-least we get some commentary.
Also these threads are just as shit as the others if you were as inclined to leave as it looks from your post you woudent make a thread

>see u tmr

found guenon-user. please fuck off, no one wants you and no one wants to listen to what kind of women you masturbate over. i'm here to discuss books. fuck off to /x/ or reddit or somewhere.

more like dad joke/roast tbfh

Y'know what would make this joke better y'all?

Le bacon! Xd

don't forget about WashYourPenis-Man threads

We need to pester Jap Moot until he gives us a dedicated moderator. I'm pretty sure Yea Forums shares a mod with several other boards and that's why off-topic threads don't get deleted as quickly as they should be.

I’ve noticed.
And you never believe me when I tell you why

Generally when people use Reddit spacing it’s because they’re from Reddit. You also sound super pretentious, like anyone from Reddit who’s “interested” in literature. Lurk more and maybe you’ll realize that nobody here talks that way. Also, user didn’t try doing greentext, and capitalization/punctuation is irrelevant so long as the point he’s trying to make is comprehensible. It’s like you’re trying to find shit that’s just not there because otherwise your points don’t have a leg to stand on. You’d probably have a better time on Reddit even if you’ve never used it before, since the brainlets there think attacking punctuation and capitalization is an actual argument.

If even butterfag has stopped writing like reddit, you can too.

This. The board is on the up these past few months.

Why does it suck so much after 2016, wise tripbuddy?

>P-please respond to me. Stop wearing his collar and respond to me p-please

:3

I CONCUR. THE QUALITY HAS PLUMMETED SINCE I HAVE BEEN AWAY. MY ABSENCE HAS ALLOWED THE TROGLODYTES TO PROLIFERATE. VERY DISAPPOINTING, AND I WILL LIKELY DEPART AGAIN

to be reddit is to be overly analytic and pedantic, with heavy use of "i" statements and short sentences with no punctuation errors

I think I turned butterfly straight with hentai ;3

You don't pass. Marxism is retarded and for pseudointellectuals. Have sex incels.

All of you faggots complain but if the amount of people who complained about how shit Yea Forums is made better posts Yea Forums would be a utopia but it isn't. Everyone here seems to hate Yea Forums but does nothing about it lmao.

except make goodbye posts because we all care if some user leaves

reading plato doesnt mean you believe in his republic and reading marx doesnt mean you believe in communism ffs

id go as far as to say posting in these whiny threads makes you complicit. Sure, thats exactly what Im doing now, but back when Pewdiepie released his review of Republic, there must have been 3+ threads lamenting it, with many of yhose replys asking the same question - why are we discussing Pewdiepie on lit? Yet when I started a thread on Republic, there were few replies.

Reality is that few people really care about authentic conversation about books. Yea Forums just serves as convenient tinder for people's anger issues, and many of those involved dont realize it. This wont change.

Hell Yeah!!!!!

FUCK THIS BOARD!!!!

Im leaving too. You all deserve each other!

LiT iS GAy aNd POorLY MoDERateD!

post some literature then fagtron

what, you have enjoyed years of 8 Peterstein threads a day?
what are you, some kind of SJW cuck?
you soiboy oldfags need to fuck off. this is our site now.

yeah I bet

I'm about to take the ludditepill full on. The internet being so shit has been a good thing in a way

OP is a faggot and I'm glad he's gone

I started a thread on /qa/ to complain about the Yea Forums mods a while ago, I wonder if it's still up

I just marathoned this board, what did I think of it?

You forgot about how the board has been overrun with transphobes and Christians.

>these two people are cucking us so hard we can't have literary discussion

Daily reminder it literally doesn't sit well with people on Yea Forums that two people fell in love with each other :3. You have no souls.

>You also sound super pretentious
To be honest I really find it hard to see how I sound any more pretentious than the rest of this board.

>Lurk more and maybe you’ll realize that nobody here talks that way.
I have lurked enough to know that people here don't all post in a uniform way, and that I'm not the only one that writes like that. Neither do I always write like that, it depends on what I'm responding to or trying to say.

>Also, user didn’t try doing greentext,
Fair enough, we can't presume to know his intentions exactly, but that is the kind of thing that would normally be greentexted.

>and capitalization/punctuation is irrelevant so long as the point he’s trying to make is comprehensible.
Doesn't that mean my "reddit style" is also irrelevant as long as the point I'm trying to make is comprehensible?

>It’s like you’re trying to find shit that’s just not there because otherwise your points don’t have a leg to stand on.
And that user didn't try to find shit that wasn't there?

>since the brainlets there think attacking punctuation and capitalization is an actual argument.
As a rule I never comment on things like grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling or other such pedantic elements in other user's posts because it's just a waste of time. However, if that user uses my style as the only argument to discredit my post then I can do the same to him.

I can, sure, but why would I do that? To make a few anons happy? I have posted this way on Yea Forums for years, this is the first time people have brought up this reddit thing.

>to be reddit is to be overly analytic and pedantic
I won't deny that I'm overly analytical and pedantic, at least compared to the average poster here, but I also don't see how minding the devil in the details is a bad thing. If anything people aren't analytical and pedantic enough.

>with heavy use of "i" statements
I am talking about my on this matter, and responding to points made directaly at me. There is no way not to refer to myself frequently in this particular context.

>short sentences with no punctuation errors
Not going to deny those are two things I do strive for in my writing, simplicity and correctness. I'm not saying everyone has to write that way, but I also don't see how it's a bad thing.

Here is some undeniable pretentiousness for you guys though: you are all faggots trying to bring me down to your level instead of lifting yourselves up to mine. Stick that in your humble pie and fuck it.

Ok.

>I am talking about my on this matter,

God I love seeing newfags desperately trying to fit in, funniest shit ever

>that is the kind of thing that would normally be greentexted.
No it's not

I hate this shit cunt usage of the word “anymore”. It’s awkward to read and say. You could have just said the same sentence and not said anymore.

ESL motherfuckers

I have ever studied english :)

>should come and join us over on Reddit. We'd love to have you!

Is this carefully crafted bait? if so, it's a work of art

leave and never come back fag

Consider the following reformatting of that post:

---

>reddit spacing and reddit opinions
maybe if you hurry you can catch up with OP

---

Are you saying a reply like that is not a common sight on Yea Forums? Greentext is commonly used to refer to the content of the post being replied to, not just for telling stories. The version I posted reads much better even if it isn't strictly speaking necessary for context.

I'm probably the one that got trolled, but I like to see how long they can keep up their trolling if I respond authentically and sincerely without getting (too) riled up. So it is kind of like bizarro trolling.

It's a sickness, I know, but an enjoyable one if you embrace it.

If anything, taking this approach has led me to some of the best and informative discussions I've had on Yea Forums since trolls rarely can maintain their bullshit past a post or two so they get outed early. Those who aren't trolls respond in kind with actual content.

>Greentext is commonly used to refer to the content of the post being replied to
Nope

>if I respond authentically and sincerely
but you haven't made a single authentic or sincere response in this entire thread

we need to move all the philosophy shit to another board

if i see another nick land thread i will drop a fucking bollock

STATELY PLUMP MAC GULLIGAN ENTERED THE SCENE WITH FLOUR IN BOWL AND KNIFE CROSSED ACROSS!!!

Well would you look at that, just before I hit reply no less.

You think you have it bad, this board is a fucking paradise compared to /g/.

You're one of the reasons it sucks, tranny

>a guy who has trouble pronouncing "anymore" is calling someone else ESL
just let that sink indoors

I left in 2015. It went to shit the following years
Clearly it’s you

So I have been thinking about whether I should do this or not, but seeing as how spectacularly that troll outed himself I think I'm actually on to something. So, I have decided I'm going to see if I can write up and expand on that bizarro trolling(working title) concept.

I'm announcing it here since this thread does seem to have gained a decent bit of attention and also showcases the poor quality shitposting that is the whole reason this thread got started in the first place. For the recond unlike in the OP, I'm not against chart, shelf, stack, or booktuber threads, they can still be good and in my books count as Yea Forums, even if I don't personally care much for them.

I don't know how long it will take or even what I'm going to cover since I haven't tried to formalize this yet. If I do get around to producing something, I'll post it under this tripcode.

Sitting here and whining about it isn't going to change anything.
