when girls mispronounce an authors name (this is a thread about stupid girls, right?)

>>Reading while walking in public
wtf? how

sorry to say you are not cut out to be a reader

Fuck you it's time efficient.

What's the point of a passion for reading if people don't see it?

Yes

Do you believe in magic?

I do this, also your picture reminded me I have a pair of those leggings and I should wear them sometime because they're cute sorry

This is very true, but nonetheless I'd like to take a peek at her red flag, if you see what I mean.

she's hot
i need to fap again

Please post safe for work pic

>inb4 trap

I'm not a gril I'm just a super hero.

Damn. I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end it didn't even matter and she crawled in my skin.

Why is Revolutionary Road a red flag? Because it is associated with feminism? It's a good book.

reading while walking is pleasurable

Damn Churchfarm

^^^^

It is a shit, cliche story and all characters in the book are insufferable and should have been massacred.

>The characters are unlikeable!

Who the fuck reads while walking?
I sometimes think to read while standing at the smoke pointed during lunch break, but it's awkward as fuck to stand there with my copy of 2666.

The plot is shit, it's a biased feminist novel written by a talentless hack and Frank is the most boring mundane spineless cuck.

>hey user whats this blue website and who is this DFW clown?

>has a fucking retarded name like Soren Kierkegaard and expects people not to mispronounce it

IT'S NOT 'SHITHEAD' IT'S 'SHA-THEEED'

>t's a biased feminist novel written by a talentless hack and Frank is the most boring mundane spineless cuck.

You sound autistic. You're not smart.

I bet your idea of objectivity is being alt-right huh faggot

Will you just shut the fuck up already and get new jokes you tired bastard

>jokes

This is bang on

Yes. Jokes.

what's wrong with a fine arts degree? I don't have one but just wondering

She looks like my ex but with shorter hair.

Anyway:
>women who like science fiction
>men whose favorite book is something feminist
>reads urban fiction.

Absolutely not. Alt right are a bunch of retarded faggots. I lean more to the left but I hate identity politics. But you just making that assumption really shows me what a stupid faggot you are.

>You don't like my fav feminist novel you're an autist :D !

Yeah go back to your first year lit class in your community college, dumb cunt.

It is often an ivory-tower circle-jerk for a particular brand of suburbanite mediocres. it is 99% a networking game. the life of a person with a fine arts degree is 99% networking: going to their classmate's "exhibitions" and then writing about each other in a student magazine, essentially not producing anything that reaches beyond their own little cloistered in-group (which is generally not talented enough to produce great works).

>>Yeah go back to your first year lit class in your community college, dumb cunt.

I am currently 22 and in 4 year. If I had to guess you don't even have a major and aren't aiming towards an associates degree.

Also, you never denied the autism so I'm going to roll with it.

Oh really? i'm currently 21 and in year 3 at a top 30 uni. My campus is populated with stupid cunts like you who cry and scream the moment someone disagrees with them. Keep portraying your emotional immaturity by having an autistic temper tantrum the moment someone triggers you.

This is you right now

>i'm currently 21 and in year 3 at a top 30 uni.
if you have to justify yourself like this you've already lost m8

>Everyone is retarded but me haha ;)

If you were even half as smart as you imagine yourself to be, you'd have the decency to understand that Yates (or any author) illustrating his feminism through metaphor isn't a "bias." Fuck off with your fruitless objectivity witch hunt.

>Oh really? i'm currently 21 and in year 3 at a top 30 uni. My campus is populated with stupid cunts like you who cry and scream the moment someone disagrees with them. Keep portraying your emotional immaturity by having an autistic temper tantrum the moment someone triggers you.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Spot on. I'd say 'networking' is important in getting anything done but the fine arts suffer from it more than any other medium. Good painting is decided by ten buyers in New York.

Lost what? There is nothing to lose or win here this is a few anons pissing on each other for not having the same taste.

>Lost what? There is nothing to lose or win here this is a few anons pissing on each other for not having the same taste.

Lost the accusation of lying about being in college.

Absolutely. Which isn't to say that a fine arts degree is bad--if you really want to make art, you'll meet like-minded people and probably some great professors and get a foot in the door, which are all great things. But people get lost in the game.

I never claimed to be smarter than anyone, you're just putting words in my mouth. It is however undeniable that there is a major degree of political bias on university campuses.

As for Yates his novel absolutely can be biased. He does not portray issues between both sexes equally, only making out April Wheeler to be some oppressed, tormented victim, and he spins the novel in a way to make the reader sympathize with April. The plot is especially shit and it should be pulled from shelves (inb4 reading for plot), Go get your testicles stomped by a dominatrix wearing high heels, cuck.

Nope, I'm in a pretty good uni.

Shut the fuck up

>is
this is a really big one

Holy fuck those are some worthless opinions, back to /pol/ please

Nah /pol/ is for the alt/far right and I lean more to the left (but again, I dislike identity politics as it sidetracks progress). Feminism itself as an ideology is great as it is supposed to ensure equality between both sexes, however, feminists get disillusioned and don't fight for true equality, rather, female supremacy.

Make me. You're just a closeted fascist.

Back to r/socialism, Comrade.

>Make me. You're just a closeted fascist

Yeah you have autism

>Feminism is cool but fuck Revolutionary Road for having a feminist narrative

Yeah you're a complete faggot, savor this last reply.

But user this thread is so entertaining I can't go back just yet!

>You disagree with my viewpoint therefore SHUT THE FUCK UP REEE
>Not a closeted fascist

I really don't have autism. But keep forcing this meme instead of constructively debating the points I have made.

>I really don't have autism.
Sure

Do you not have a brain at all? I said feminism as an ideology in and of itself is fine, However feminists are not in line with their own ideology. Revolutionary Road is written by Richard Yates who is a feminist. So absolutely the book will be biased and not represent issues among both sexes equally, just portraying the woman as a victim of "patriarchy."

Very intelligent response you sure showed me!

>Feminism is fine because I said so but the people who subscribe to it are stupid because they aren't as smart as me
Autism

Go back to tumblr you feminist slut whores and nu males. When we take over your shit hole societies you're gonna be forcefully converted to Islam or stoned to death. God I fucking hate white people.

Autism

>sympathy for a female character is feminist
>sympathy for a woman whose vain husband cheats on her and belittles her is feminist
>author is feminist so its feminist though it cant be feminist because its biased and boring though equal rights
>ps I'm a leftie and 21


Holy fucking shit this is tasty bait

No, the people who subscribe to it do so because they either think feminism as purely an ideology is something it's not or they don't really care and just want to promote a "matriarchy."

I hate western white people too desu senpai

>being this much of a pretentious faggot

If feminism is a sound ideology, why do you criticize Yates for writing about it?

>b-but he didn't do it write and I don't know what context is

>i'm currently 21 and in year 3 at a top 30 uni.
Well, at least you have a lot of years ahead of you to pay off your student loan, debtcuck!

>My idea of feminism is the correct one and everyone is stupid except me! :)

If a woman is unhappy in a relationship and does not care about her children as April didn't, she can just leave. The entire story of Revolutionary Road is so cliche. Dumb white American suburban housewife wants to move to Paris because she's "bored."

Fyi, she cheats on Frank later too. But Frank is a stupid faggot. However April is no victim. It's clear she has daddy issues though.

My idea of feminism is correct, just like my idea of communism is too. Why? Because I have actually taken the time to research these ideologies. But just because it's written down on paper does not mean the people who identify with it will adhere to every aspect. I don't see mass feminists rallies to bring attention to men's issues particularly in developing nations, do you?

>why do you criticize Yates for writing about it?

Because of how he wrote about it. The book is too black and white. Woman =oppressed victim
Frank=patriarchal evil male oppressor

i found some old soviet propaganda books on the streets last week.
>how to spread the word of communism
>deception of law enforcement
and stuff like that. I'm from Bulgaria btw.
reading the shit there it's no wonder those guys got hanged and shot on every other corner for the first 10 years.

it's a good book if you are a cuck or feminist slut. April is the 1940's/50's version of a modern day roastie slut who wants to cuck her husband by making a stay at home dad while she rides the French cock carousel. Book is a joke and I'm glad she died.

Why is this board such shit?

How can you justify responding to eachother like this?

Veeky Forums is full of insufferable nu male cucks and it is also the main board besides /soc/ where dumb college whores come thinking they are intelligent repeating what their womens studies prof said

This whole thread is shit, but that clip is hilarious.

Millenial revolutionaries hard at work

>thinks i havent read the book
>still doesnt prove its feminist

richard yates is more just about how people fail to achieve their dreams and end up fucking everything up
