/lit/ - Literature

>>18345602
people with any worthwhile artistic qualities/leanings left this board half a decade ago. there’s barely anyone here interested in engaging with contemporary literature, or even willing to give it a fair chance. this is a self-help board now, for gamers who discovered dostoyevsky two days ago, or pure misanthropes in need of a quick azquotes soundbite to justify whatever shitty fantasies they have fermenting in their heads

and even *if* there were decent writers around why the fuck would they want to associate themselves with this sad shithole that eternally plays out the imagined battle for westurn civilisayshun that occurred in 2016? unless, of course, you plan to publish the likes of ”raw egg nationalist” and other late-to-the-party grifters

>/lit/ - Gay Kulturkampf Bullshit

the overwhelming negativity about contemporary lit on this board is depressing, and feels more like the sour grapes parroting of an established narrative than actually informed opinions. wish /lit/ was more like /mu/ in that it could envision and embrace the infinite possibilites of the artform instead of disregarding literally everything new, or demanding that it’s only sprawling maximalist tomes that get a pass. i’ll take wide-eyed, youthful curiosity over ’blackpilled’ boomerdom any day of the week
