I don't get this board, but I've only been here for a few minutes total. How can people just casually dismiss authors works or anything they've ever done with a couple casually selected buzzwords stringed together?
Does everyone here just share the same opinions overall, so it's forgiven?
which of your pleb idols was dismissed, user?
Do you really think I'd venture an opinion? And I came here looking for recommendations.
It's Veeky Forums, I'm not sure what you expect. Every now and then there are some really good discussions, but yeah, most of it is filler where we throw around our memes mindlessly.
>Does everyone here just share the same opinions
pretty much. post something that goes against the general board culture without backing it up with thoughtful insight and the thread will be shit. Theres a difference between a thread that says "Why do you virgins dismiss female authors" and one that brings up an interesting point about say, Virginia Woolf's work. Sure some of these specific threads will die off, but every once in a while they strike gold.
Good authors are praised, if you post george rr martin or the martian prepare to be le down voted my friend : )
i wish you'd state who's so shit on anyway, most classical authors or authors of any repute are respected, once you get into modern authors it's different naturally.
Who? Who are you defending?
>Do you really think I'd venture an opinion?
Would it harm your ego that much?
>And I came here looking for recommendations.
Then check out the sticky first like you would do on any other imageboard, forum, or message board. I would also recommend lurking for more than 'a few minutes' before contributing to the shitposting.
nice trips, owl boy.
stinky post
good informative posts
thank you anons altogether
looks like we've got a corncobber boys
>Does everyone here just share the same opinions overall
no, there are major disagreements between the posters on Veeky Forums
for example, some people think it's unpleasant to have a load of beaten up paperbacks on your bookcase, whereas others think that having books without cracked spines makes it look like you haven't read the book
I don't get why you're surprised?
It doesn't take much energy to complain about something and it's an anonymous image board. And I mean the age of people here is early 20's. It would be extremely surprising if it wouldn't happen.
I'm with the latter. I want to use books and they should look used.
Since people write better than on most boards, the disagreements have more content than on other boads in general. The disagreements are more enjoyable.
I like Veeky Forums posters fighting over philosophical content of non-philosophy books.
And how some think Stirner posters are memeing while other see how he destroyed everything that came after him.
The Tolstoy/Hackskoyevsky threads are always fun too
The sticky is garbage, though.
You've been memed. Look at the website you are on. It is really that simple, that people don't get this really is strange.
holy shit someone fell for the memes and actually read books? LMAO
>So I told him to read a book and he actually did it, the absolute madman!
>How can people just casually dismiss authors works or anything they've ever done with a couple casually selected buzzwords stringed together?
It precludes thinking. It's buffoonery, tribalism.
i think fewer and fewer people are coming to Veeky Forums for /b/ since /b/'s heyday is long over. they jump straight to interest boards and think it's going to be exactly like reddit or something.
strangely, i think having that /b/ootcamp as a newfag increases the site's quality
>Does everyone here just share the same opinions overall, so it's forgiven?
What? No, half of the threads that don't die out at
You sound just about 100% gay 2bh
The sticky is fine, what are you talking about?
This. It's a way to try to look like you're smarter than the opponent, without actually being smarter or able to prove why you are.
I only dismiss things I have read, and only praise things I haven't read yet.
