Since over the last few years, /pol/ has obnoxiously infected Veeky Forums to the point where actual discussion is impossible, and since it seems like they're never going to leave us alone, is there another chan with better Veeky Forums discussion going on? I want to be able to discuss books without shitheads coming in to pollute threads by spamming things like 'lefty shills' and 'liberal elites'
pic unrelated
Outside of the four threads about that Canadian guy things are pretty much okay.
just hide the threads you dislike. there are a few places to discuss books online but they all have some sort of deficiency. This one is by far the most fun in my opinion though. Honestly I don't even know what people want out of this board, half assed and awkward interpretations of text isn't the most appealing thing in the world
Make a goodreads and friend all the Veeky Forums folks. It's not a replacement obviously, but you get more reading done and spend a little less time here.
It's very frustrating when I write a multiple-paragraph, thoughtful response to a thread topic, and all of the replies I get are pol memes and opinions that are obviously based on watching a 5 minute youtube video on the topic that don't even address my points
i dont think the pol thing is as bad as youre making it out to be, mostly because pol ideology is recognizable 300 miles away and you can just ignore those posts. as long as you arent talking about ethnic literature or female authors then you are pretty much alright.
part of the Veeky Forums package has always been that there are some posts that are just fucking garbage. that being said, i cant find anywhere better than this for literature. i usually prefer reddit (flame me all you want fags but compare r/games to /v/ and try to tell me Veeky Forums is better) but for some reason r/books and r/literature are actually surprisingly both shit. long story short just suck it up.
ps. having a thread like "discussion of x book" is almost always going to go nowhere
It's that way on every imageboard these days, intelligent people left the internet 20 years ago.
Norm MacDonald is more lit than you
You think this is bad? This is the best you're going to get. All other chans are either completely empty, or have a far worse /pol/ infection.
You have progressives to blame for /pol/, just like you have democrats to blame for Trump.
If there hadn't been such a hard push of normieism on Veeky Forums the /pol/ pushback wouldn't have been so great.
Stormfags and frogposters are actually doing us a service in the long term by cleansing the site.
