That people will look up to you if you read enough, and charmed by your wit.
Literally nobody cares what you do in your own time, everyone is obsessed with themselves
people who say shit YA books are a good thing because they will eventually stumble onto good books on accident
i kid you not i heard a girl say that it doesn't matter if rupi kaur has no literary value, because a person may go buy a rupi kaur book and stumble onto keats and buy it too.
this is like saying going every day to eat at Mcdonalds is healthy because i may just stumble into buying their salads
here, have some gems
47:20 here is the part im talking about
43;40 "impact and reach, emotional resonance and popularity. These are the things that Kirsty mentioned. she didn't mention literary merit"
10:00 This segment is quite funny, they post an article completely tearing into this girl's poetry and then her response to it.
i am not a chud but this is just ridiculous, perhaps even insulting to the intellect of women, implying that you must dismiss literary value for women poets to be recognized is just misogyny. i love that the critic compared that girl to Donald trump, that must have stung her lol, and in some ways the argument is true, if a little hyperbolic

god the level of strawmanning by the girl is ridiculous, she just uses irrelevant historical comparisons about "media sharing" >43;40 "impact and reach, emotional resonance and popularity. These are the things that Kirsty mentioned. she didn't mention literary merit"
god what a soundbite
This. Contrarianism is the akshully of opinions. Appealing against the masses is the same things as appealing to the masses. Both use the masses to build their opinions. Not saying you have to run 100% with the crowd but it is cringe when your personality is built going against the crowd. Someone saying a book has good prose means absolutely nothing. Most people can’t elaborate beyond a cliche. The odds are if there is a literary writer still being published by someone like Penguin, they are a good writer, hence they’ll have good prose. The styles and tastes differ but most readers can’t explain why

The Bible.
Death of the author.
Even as a high school student I remember learning about the death of the author concept and thinking it was retarded.
That framing in critique has any value at all.
Or really, that critique has any value at all.
Writing without punctuation is at all acceptable in a novel
>if I read a few more books, I will become a more competent writer
Fuck

I've never heard anybody say this, but if they did I'd think they were absolutely deranged

City of God.
one can be a genius and not enjoy reading; one can be a retard and love reading
Thinking you have to identify with the character because fiction to people is wish fulfilment.
>i just read for the prose
i read for both homosexual
That women are incapable of producing good literature
Contrarianism is the biggest cope followed by using vague comments about prose as a stand in for having a thoughtful opinion.
