Would I really get pussy for reading this in public?

>>9031169
no
i was reading this at my uni and some assumed i was gay for reading a book 4 women. got into an argument about how being a piece of shit but she got her friends to gang up on me and some other white males
tl:dr now a group of kids think im gay

You'd get more pussy for honestly telling girls it's garbage. If you challenge their opinions (in a sociable, non-autistic manner) they'll want the D.

>>9031045
The book isn't bad. /lit/ is just autistic and stubborn.

hi trump

>>9031185
lmao pwnt

this book
inspired
me
to
write poetry

>>9031272
This. Women like alphas.

>>9031425
Damn anon...
I cried...

I unironically bought this because a woman looked at my poetry shelf and said "not many woman or people of colour anon"

university is everything I imagined it would be

>being this much of a cuck
I pity you.

>be rupi kaur
>minorities/women/minority groups around me experience social, political, emotional differences to the experiences that other groups have
>some of these issues can lead to actual oppression
>the importance of these issues cannot be underplayed
>this also needs to be done in a way that does not create a platform for individuals to hate these groups that i am a part of
>"let me try and demonstrate this through a 10 word sentence"
>wat

>>9031465
should have bought sappho and akhmatova and gone on a tirade about how slaves and olives aren't white

>>9031465
>"not many women or people of colour anon"

This is the type of criticism that can be offered for anything about anyone. Next time you see something like this happen do the following:
>oh wow xanon, my androgynous gender queer wolf-kin friend mind showing me your collection of texts?
>oh ive noticed that you have not properly represented the conservative ideologies through the use of both female and male authors who follow said dogmatism
>i find it interesting that you do not own any books that talk about other perspectives, how can you expect to understand the oppressed if you dont understand the oppressor
>by owning so many books by women of color it seems that you are actively discriminating against those who do not fall into these groups
>i've noticed that you own obligatory Nietzsche texts in order to prove that you are a "nihilist". how do you feel about his open criticism of religious cultures? do you not believe that this impartial judgement should also be passed onto Muslim cultures?

>>9031465
>not many woman or people of colour anon
My shelf is the same way, and it's that way on purpose.

>>9031465
Spineless beta.

>>9031272
This is only true if you're somewhat attractive

>>9031465
LMAO

>>9031465
That's what you get for no going to any ivy league school

>>9031493
It's certainly more poetic than anything you've written.

>>9031610
i guess in the end that is the matter of opinion. if we take that statement to be true however that does not mean i am unable to criticize it. the poems she writes are vapid and unoriginal, taking very serious issues and underplaying them.

>>9031045
>altarboipucci

>>9031586
ivy leagues are the worst though

>>9031465
>not many woman/woman or people of colour

when and how did this become a standard for quality? why are art pieces that do not feature these considered lower of quality?

>i wrote a story about a ship crew in the 17th century
>oh wow not a single woman in the story, such garbage

what the fuck?

>>9031493

It's like a haiku from someone who just didn't give a shit.

>>9031634
What a cuck.

>>9031493
>omg chad ignored me wtf society cut his ears off

>>9031954
i feel as though that is more of an insult to haiku poetry than anything. a haiku is accompanied by penmanship, deeper connection, and a structure which is conductive to imagination. when you read a well written haiku you are experiencing something different than reading whatever bullshit rupi kaur is shitting out

>>9031967
>omg that one time i assumed somthing not true about someone #imalittlebitracistbutthatsokaybecauseyourancestorsweremeaniesfirst

>>9031272

>implying I or anyone here can express disliking anything without losing our composure and flying into a fit of autistic rage

Ree.

>>9031465

If you're gonna be a cuck about it, instead of buying the book, you should have just told her that as a privileged white male you don't want to misappropriate the culture of marginalized people and pretend you understand their plight.

>>9031045
Is pretending to like books to get pussy some kind of /lit/ meme? I've never seen it happen. Do you just autistically drop in the fact "oh yeah and by the way, I like Lolita". "Oh, really Anon?" *smirk* "I guess you should give me a call sometime".

Arbitrary line
breaks
does not constitute
poetry
when your words are
devoid of
aesthetic merit and
at
most can serve as
half-baked aphorisms and
banal
platitudes

>>9032001

It only works with Infinite Jest and hipster chicks, but it works literally 100% of the time.

no its an internet meme to make up for an lack of personality.
I've gotten laid off tinder just because the girl and I both enjoyed the same shitty band.
One could argue that us having something in common gave us confidence to pursue each other.

KARMA POLICE ARREST THIS MAN

>>9032009
This isn't new, really. Bukowski and Plath both wrote similar shit "poetry"
