This is a board about literature. You're not welcome here. Please take your plebeian garbage to /b/ or reddit, where you will find both a demographic and a general atmosphere more consistent with your tastes and your culture.
Thank you.

back to tumblr, sweetheart. This isn't your safe space.
I will henceforth post innumerable threads about all the things you dislike solely to show you how wrong you were to think that you are an authority on anything here.
Logan Adams
Why is it that any post is made 3x worse whenever there's a tripfag attached to it?

>trip shat out less than a week ago >already thinks he can dictate what's posted on Veeky Forums
nah kill yourself elitist scum, I can only assume you were fishing for (You)s so good job I guess
Justin Johnson
Nu Veeky Forums is garbage. You don't belong here, you never did, you never will. You fully recognize this, and thus try to change the board to the lesser, try to turn it into a race to the bottom where the board's content and ethos should at some point reach your level and make you feel like you belong here. Instead of bringing it down, try to elevate yourself to it, and see it as an insentive to discover and learn.

If you keep posting with the same alacrity as you have done today you might just make me leave.
