cringe

>itime to go full troll
fuck off idiot

>le cringe xd

back to rebbit with you soyboy

it's really an easy way to describe a poorly thought-thru satire post, sorry if it triggered you sweetheart; just step back and breath, you'll be okay

This conversation, much like the short story, is way over your head.

aw honey, you were triggered enough to reply and you can find your hugbox over on r****t

you're not having a conversation, the conversation started here:
you made a snap judgment on the situation based off a few sentences of the actual article, and you have no idea what's going on

chances are high you're a wageslave trying to get some shitposting in before you go have your shitty day, but i'm not going to let that happen so think twice before replying

You're going to lose so many goodboy points when your mommy checks your browsing history this evening.

not that user but yeah this is very cringe

She wrote a story that became popular and appealed to a highly profitable demographic. You can't blame them.

...

agreed, powerful independent women (read: lonely fat women) can't get enough of this self-degrading shit, and it takes special kind of artist to be able to produce it so it's in high demand

Yeah, intersectional feminism is a marketer's wet dream.

MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT BURNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS
for fucks sake dude get this goblin out of here

I just read the story. At the very least, it seems to humanize awkward guys who are bad at sex, so maybe the roasties reading it will not be so quick to shout "rape" next time they have sex and regret it in the morning.

Other than that, it was basically "Existence as a Millennial - The Story"

Are you kidding?

99% of women who have read this are claiming it just shows how creepy non-Chad guys are and how difficult it is to be female.

Fucking really? Can I see some of the responses to it? The story itself didnt have any comments

It was one hit wonder. Do you really think this woman can extend her 'talents' into something like Gone Girl (not saying that's great but it is far better than CP)?

I don't care about the content or the type of personality that enjoys it. What's infuriating to me is this person has never written a full-length book, and off the hype of a short that has barely any semblance of a plot, they pay her 100k+ to do a full-length novel?

I think the message she wanted to get across was: be selfish, careless about what others think of you, don't crave attention that you'll sell yourself out.

If anything it's anti-hookup culture.

...

It's definitely part of a recent anti-hookup culture trend. In spite of hookup culture being in a constant "tidal" rise, we seem to be in a downward wave right now (what with all the stuff about ghosting too).

Problem is (or not), millennials did not learn anything about emotional responsibility or any sort of self-management whatsoever (I say this as a millennial). We're bound to become either selfish bastards or selfless idiots.

I don't know and I don't care. I don't have to buy it, I don't have to read it. The only reason I'm even aware of it is because of you faggots who're seemingly butthurt and outraged enough about it to post it here continually. You're the problem.

/waifu general/

lit will never insult the publishing gatekeepers.

Have we entered the age where if a young man wants to be published he has to assume a female pseudonym?

>hurr durr it's because capitalism!
>hurr durr this is your capitalism at work!
>hurr durr if someone just picked what was worthy of praise and money than it would be better!
>hurr durr you know what I should be the one to pick!
>hurr durr only people I like deserve to get money for their work!
>hurr durr literature is dying!
>hurr durr nobody is paying the writers anymore!
>hurr durr why is literature dying?!
>hurr durr why can fucking plebs realize their art is not art?
>hurr durr fucking where got a massive deal fuck her stupid bitch fucking whore it should been me!
>hurr durr endlessly
Fucking commies I fucking hate all of you.

>"When u laguhd when I asked if you were a virgin was it because youd fucked so many guys"

bravo, truly the voice of a generation

>mfw Veeky Forums's 48-hour obsession with Cat People contributed to this woman's success

Capitalism is cruel, babies. Wealth in the arts is generated by sucking micro-payments from the lowest common denominator. I'm not surprised you don't know this.

dont worry, it wont be worth the pressure to try to meet expectations actually fuck it a million dollars is worth some spooks of awkward shame

i just read it, i thought it was really interesting.

it teaches women how important physical attraction is, and how they ultimately expect men to be competent but aloof and mysterious. she basically fucked her awkward brother and mistook feelings of sympathy and budding friendship for sexual attraction, a mistake many 20 year olds would make.

i think a LOT of guys would benefit from reading it. it teaches them to try to aim for girls that are similar to them (in personality and looks) and to be more casual when it comes to sparking up meetings. i tend to know within 5 minutes if i will ever fuck a girl, and it's mostly to do with her initial attraction to me physically. i could probably work at turning her over weeks of talking, but why bother? i can just pick a girl who is really into me and shows it with her body language and eye contact, and then we won't be disappointed.

well she will be, because i can't express real love. but that's a puzzle that takes most of them 3-6 months to crack.

What if i told you that the short story was planned and the deal was already in place before that and that you all fell for it and are still falling for it by discussing this even further?

it's creating productive discussion about how women need to stop fucking creepy losers and just stick to chads who will pump and dump and not cling on.

That's why you're so angry about it anyway.

>read a shitty slice-of-life short story for common sense advice
jesus christ, and i thought peterson fags were bad

if we're gonna talk about its message; if she really wanted to nail that point home, it would have been marg who was the ugly bitter person and not rob

more women are taking this message:

This Chad meme is so incorrect. All the jacked successful guys i know have average gfs who they bend over backwards for. Meanwhile i know infinitely more retard burnouts who have chicks chasing them (speaking as a retard burnout). Girls these days would rather fuck 6ix9ine than dolph lundgren in his prime.

>i was homeschooled and i don't socialize outside my family
good post

Alright dog go try to get laid by being successful LOL

Guys who are already succesfull are both intimidating and boring. Most women go for projects. Basically fuckups with one or two intetesting traits. Enough to be interesting and enough to kick in womens mommy instincts because they think they are the one thats going to change him (and if they did theyd leave him anyways). Women are just boring and predictable these days.

marg is beautiful outwardly, but inwardly she is a broken immature and scared person, plagued by insecurities and self-doubt. she is a decent person because she feels the real complex and sour emotions behind his objectification, but her flaw is being too weak to put an end to it.

rob is ugly outwardly, but inwardly is a raging psychotic narcissist who overestimates himself at every step and lacks anything resembling empathy or compassion. he shows no arc of change or progress, swinging wildly between moody bouts of pathetic misplaced anger and euphoric adolescent infatuation.

they aren't even comparable, he's a manchild, and this is a guide on how to avoid them. they hold back society by trapping women in loveless pseudo-relationships and never developing as men.

Heck if you want a woman just get a tattoo, dress like a faggot and alternate between giving her the feeling that shes special and that yet you could snap at anytime and kick her ass. Youll have to fend off women.

How is Robert a narcissist? He's a clumsy fool but a psychotic narcissist, no.

Effectively they are both immature, impressionable individuals who want a storybook romance, and that sex will lead to love. Margot is right post coitus about the doubt that sex brings in one, and maybe the shame that Robert isn't the Adonis a lot of young women strive for. Both are just looking for someone to be with in a cold world, but both are equally cold and distant in their own way

the way he kisses her and handles the sex (and the courtship before it) is disingenuous and (self)deceptive.

rather than being the adult and admitting his inexperience, endearing himself in a moment of honest and opening himself up to brutal rejection, he decides to fumble his way and ruins it for himself, then completely oblivious to what he did (because of the narcissism) blames the poor girl who feels bad four times over: for engaging with this creep, for pushing the sex for her own selfish needs, for being unable to reject the sex the moment she realises it wasn't about them it was all about her and she is disgusted with him, for the conflicting emotions this brings up including self-loathing, and finally for being too polite to say fuck off at the end.

he created this whole thing by building some fake persona and then having it all fall apart. it's a 20 year old girl she's horny, tell her you have a huge stamp collection and then eat her pussy for 15 minutes and have her jerk you off. why are you even kissing her? on the forehead? CREEPER.

i dunno if you guys are underaged or what, what you describe is the fantasies of a teenage girl

any well-adjusted woman in her early 20s want a stable, good-looking, well-groomed, successful and/or ambitious guy as their mate

white knighting faggot right here. the girl never said what she was feeling. you blame robert for not opening up and refuses to do the same for margot.

>well-adjusted woman in her early 20s

HAHAHAHAHA

wth i thought you killed yourself elliot

I'd wager their both narcissistic if that's the case. They both have moderate to fake personas via text because it's easier to speak to one another that way than in person (hence her rejection text and his half-hearted reply)

But narcissistic because of his inability to perform peak sex? Men don't want to look like amateurs especially during intimacy, they're vulnerable enough, they don't want to heighten that vulnerability by admitting they don't know what their doing.

My experience is that the 'well-adjusted' girls still are going for guys based on the same stuff (dick and being entertaining), they just generally prefer ones who are more socially acceptable and less blatantly self-destructive. I still stand by my statement that i would bet on a fun retard over some jacked successful guy in their case.

...

they want someone who is dominate, not an insecure dick, who will not take shit from them or anyone else, this is a trait that is usually associated with successful/ambitious people

you're out of your fucking MIND if you think a quality girl wants a fixer-upper, the types of girls who do are extremely damaged goods, and if that's what you're attracting you need to get your act together asap

What guys think sex means: As a man, I've overcome the primordial chaos of reality to forge my own destiny. Like Marduk slaying Tiamat, I've overcome the numerous negative influence within and without me to build a life I can be proud of. I've strengthened my body, mind, and will power. I communicate this to girls through my physique, dress, demeanour, and accomplishments. While I will eventually decay, I've temporarily ordered myself so that I can bring a woman into my life, and allow her to be herself. Truly Chad is an inspiration to us all and I aspire to reach the heights of manly virtue in this life.

What girls think sex means: Hehehehe he sang "Backstreet's Back" with me and called me a sushi whore before he blew raspberries on my stomach and made me lick his ass

My experience is that guys are the only ones who care about dominance, girls just want you to act normal.

Once we used to read about heros and nobels--people with tragic flaws and interesting motives.

Now the protagonists of today are literally mediocre in the extreme--and literally uplifts their mundane activities to hero status. That's why this short story was successful--it lionized everything it means to be "strong independent" indie hipster girl--or barren vagina having office wagie.

You are strong, independent, a victim sometimes, and you are the object of "intense sexual desire" and you both love and hate that.

Shameless pandering--makes me ill. This is why the west is decaying at break neck speed.

not gonna argue this with you, you're either going to fix your world-view and attempt to adjust your personality or you're going to experience a harmful string of meaningless relationships that lead nowhere... gl

except he's had 15 years to mature over her and hasn't. and she is vain because her entire life strange men have constantly treated her as an object of desire and she has no value outside of that. that's conditioned helplessness.

nobody made roger fat or awkward or bad at sex, those are all super simple to fix: work out, be friendly and truthful, pay for sex with an experienced worker who is going to help you understand the process.

he used her to masturbate his ego.

girls never say what they are feeling, if girls were direct they wouldn't be girls they would be women, mothers, sisters, wives. if ur ugly, and you manage to fuck a hot young girl, and you're fucking terrible at sex, no duh she regrets it and wishes it never happened. imagine rolling those dice, she took a wild chance and got snake eyes.

the lifting of the mundane to great heights was predicted by Ayn Rand in The Fountainhead...Ellsworth Toohey did it to make the world easier to manipulate. Fucking kike.

so, you're excusing margot because "girls will be girls" while condemning robert for what exactly? being a dude?

typical hypocritical feminist mentality right here.

good post

>how about you read the story
>its about a girl who cant keep her legs closed

why do i still come here

if he was a dude he would've fucked her in the car when she straddled him.

>Emotional invalidation is when a person's thoughts and feelings are rejected, ignored, or judged. Invalidation is emotionally upsetting for anyone, but particularly hurtful for someone who is emotionally sensitive. Invalidation disrupts relationships and creates emotional distance.
it's time to end the human-race

>disagreeing is a violent act
>therefor we must censor anything that doesn't fit our agenda and narrative

this is why I come to Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums for discussion; its the only place without power tripping mods.

/r/writers is pretty good, they were talking about this story as well and kinda shitting on it

How guys think you get a girl: spend decades achieving an impressive amount of emotional maturity, success, physical good looks, and social standing

How to actually get a girl: learn to sing along to the Zayn part to "I don't wanna live forever" and start a fake fight with her friend in a way that's really funny and entertaining for everyone involved at a party

:/

how to have autism: be this guy

Cum Person was fine.

>my gay one-off anecdote is how courtship works
this is Veeky Forums compensation for sucking female ass, just constantly bringing up 6/10’s they had bad sex with and the gay way they tripped and fell into their pussy.

You guys are fucking idiots. Did you even read the story?

The main character is NOT a strong woman, she's a pathologically weak typically feminine woman who is puppeteered by her friends and feelings. The guy is also a fucking pathologically weak dude who is in fact written exactly like a female character (unsure if this is part of the point or because the author can't write from other perspectives... I'll be charitable and assume the former)

It's a good story about how being weak people leads to relationship breakdown. If at any point either of them stood up and had some fucking strength of character there wouldn't have been a problem; it's a tragedy of insecurity.

Aside from that, as shown in your screen cap, it's also about how texting and technology drives a wedge in relationships and leaves people unable to properly connect in real life.

The point is that it's a good story with good societal commentary; it's not a feminist piece by any means--it's about how being weak, whether as a man or woman, can unintentionally hurt those around you.

If you think this story is out to lionize the main character or portray her as a "strong woman" you weren't paying attention.

Finally a person that can read.

dis is right bruder les gase le juice

The writer sounds like a run of the mill establishment left ideologue, with Jewish publishers, getting famous on the back of some narrative about men being grotesque, buffoonish and potentially dangerous.

It is an entirely safe piece of writing, intended to start a 'conversation'. By conversation they mean back and forthing in left wing circles about how groundbreaking one of their fellow ideologues is. Were it to illicit any actual debate and break any rules it would be considered controversial and wouldn't be the success story it is.

If I followed the model of the Cat Person writer I'd perhaps write about a bufoonish, grotesque, weak male feminist who despite all his effort, still falls short of the mark when it comes to being a functioning human being.

Lol good post (not being sarcastic)--better than mine even...

underfuckingrated

Someone here sure sounds salty that the left has won the culture wars.

hahahhaa How did I miss this post?

this guy looks like his room smells. women could probably smell it a mile away

It seems like on the internet it's a huge waging battle with lefties only winning on reddit and normie forums (yet losing everywhere else)

Oh please. Anyone who laments the fall of the Great Man trope is himself someone who never possessed the capacity to be great. You look at DFW, Ashbery, etc., they never bitched about how all the good men were gone, because that is an extremely rudimentary / reactionary / ignorant / fetal stance to take and just shows you need greatness to be spoonfed to you by history and "cultured" opinion.

no, i believe the criticism is that margot is 20 and acts 20, while robert is 34 and acts 15
