How come every post related to gender, race, or politics is deleted here? Is it because the janitors are cucks? Is it because they want Veeky Forums to be a le intellectual subreddit where no serious, relevant, or contentious discussion takes place? Is it because the userbase is mostly redditors and women who want the mods to protect them from people with different opinions (or as they mythologize it, "the /pol/ invasion")? Why do you get rid of posts even if they are related to literature?
I'm pretty sure the mods at /pol/ and /tv/ are part of the alt-right group in the sense that they love shitposting about cucks, SJWs & women hating.
Just go on /tv/ and see how many blatant threads there are that aren't even relevant to the board then go a post a thread on /tv/ speaking out against trump or whatever and it'll get deleted instantly.
Veeky Forums really doesn't seem to have much moderation. You can post porn here and it won't deleted for hours.
Lit really isn't as bad as other boards.

>/pol/ has alt-right mods I seriously hope you're meming. Veeky Forums is mostly moderated by lefty faggots. They keep /pol/ as it is for fear of the shitstorm that would happen if they don't, but gamergate and pizzagate are still banned. They're cucked as fuck and you have to be a newfag who doesn't remember /pol/ harbor to not know this.
I don't know about /tv/ though.
Jacob Martinez
If your post is related to the literature veing discussed it wont be deleted, going into a random thread and blasting it about how much you hate niggers or news about the US election would get deleted though
Michael Powell
But posts like "are there any good black writers?" are always deleted

>How come every post related to gender, race, or politics is deleted here? Because these posts are rarely thoughtful, well articulated or related to literature. It's always just spewing "nigger" of ">written by a woman >good amirite XD" I think the last point is the most crucial here, bud.
> serious, relevant, or contentious discussion Translation: me spewing alt-right opinions and calling anyone who disagrees a "cuck". That's neither serious nor a discussion.
>the mods to protect them from people with different opinions (or as they mythologize it, "the /pol/ invasion" Interesting you seem to be upholding the virtue of differing opinions but you have little tolerance for opinions that are not alt right and will just spew "cuck" and "SJW" and get a victim and persecution complex about it if someone disagrees with your opinion.
Get over it, cry baby. Veeky Forums isn't your alt-right safe space.
And how come every spastic alt-right troglodyte always uses The Thinker, Greek statues, etc. It's so fucking cringe. Look at Metapedia, Look at PJW's Youtube profile, look at this post. Get a new fucking schtick.
Not even an SJW or particularly lefitst. I'm just not a 19 year old virgin.
Adrian Thomas
Bullshit. /tv/ is /pol/'s backyard and we ALL know how many pedo/blacked threads that are posted there.
That's because it's in the same vein as posting "What did he/she mean by this" which translate to "Here's some bait on a certain topic, let's not talk about what he/she said, let's talk about *insert shit*"
Liam Fisher
>Veeky Forums isn't your alt-right safe space
I think a lot of people don't mind talking with people who have different views it's just that when most of it adds up to ""nigger" of ">written by a woman >good amirite XD" it just shits up the board and invites people who don't care about the board and just want to piss people off.
And that's what happened to /tv/.

>implying I'm a cuckposter >not being able to handle the bantz on Veeky Forums >implying memeing makes you just like an SJW amirite? Unlike you, I can conceive of having a reasonable discussion with those I disagree with, maybe with a little funposting sprinkled in because this isn't fucking reddit. Also >unironically using the term "alt-right" >some autistic point about posting ubiquitous cultural symbols like Greek statues

>implying I'm a cuckposter
If you're the OP you literally used "cuck" in the original post.
And if you're not I wasn't addressing you.
Carson Garcia
If you don't want these threads to exist, then stop replying to bait and hide the thread. Everybody else is in it for the memes because not everybody thinks that the Internet is serious buisiness >Ask not what your board can do for you, ask what you can do for your board

Holy fuck, everyone here writes like a pretension fuckhead who believes he's above the rest of everyone else.
ALL YOU FUCKING DID WAS READ A COUPLE BOOKS YOU RETARD.

>How come every post related to gender, race, or politics is deleted here? Because this is a literature board. If you have thoughts you want to express and wish to converse with others about those subjects, simply start with mentioning any book related to the subject you want to discuss and point out what you feel is right/wrong in the book.
I mean surely if you have thoughts on the subjects of gender, race, or politics, you'd be very well read on those subjects and have many great books to choose from, right?

Veeky Forums is a blue board m8. As per the Global Rules, trolls, flames, racism and off topic posts are not permitted.
Race and gender posts on Veeky Forums are rarely on topic (they are not related to a work of literature) and racism is simply not allowed. Saying nigger isn't allowed on blue boards.
You have a forum in which to express your views. Why do you feel the need to do it on a forum where we talk about books?
End of discussion.

See, you must've misconstrued by original intent. By using a half-ironic superior posturing I am obviously compensating for my numerous psychological and physical insecurities, and I therefore have developed an inferiority complex because I read Infinite Jest TWICE. New here lies the truth I do not understand but you do. Thank you for opening my eyes, ye brilliant psychoanalyst. You truly have a talent for using mere sentences to conclude the character of the poster. I am in awe of your complete, all-encompassing, penetrating insight.

The problem is that threads related to books are also deleted if some dumb mod sees actual discussion about racism or sexism. I've been seeing it a lot lately, on-topic threads are deleted if they're too heated. >trolls, flames, racism not allowed >on blue boards I wish 4cucks would stop selectively enforcing rules

Veeky Forums is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to Veeky Forums. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either Veeky Forums or Veeky Forums, but ideally those discussions of philosophy that take place on Veeky Forums should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.
Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.
Veeky Forums is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.

can we please ban this person? He said the n-word and an antisemitic slur and this truly, deeply discomforts me. I am literally shaking as I type. What is wrong with this world? Why are you uneducated racist hicks and KKK members even allowed to post? Mods, I beg of you, please delete this thread. These racist, alt-right, frog-posting Nazis shall not invade our precious reddit safe space of Veeky Forums.

Let's say you want to talk about feminism or disagree with it on Veeky Forums. Here's how you can do it.
Right way: >"So, Veeky Forums, I just read this book by so and so, and he presents what I think is a pretty cogent critical view of modern feminism, So and so says that blah blah.... what do you think do you agree with him?
What's unbelievable? You can't believe a man would have a critical view of feminism?
I said "cogent critical view of modern feminism"
You can't even fucking read.

Lucas Perry
>implying you're allowed to have threads about feminism that aren't deleted Just yesterday a perfectly harmless thread about masculinity was deleted for no reason other than that it had some vaguely "sexist" posts. You have to walk on eggshells with this shit but other threads are allowed to go on random tangents.

This goes back to the essential question though. Why the insistence on feminism and raceposting on the literature board. We talk about literature on the literature board.
It's not so much to ask that posts be directly related to works of literature is it?
There are other boards where you don't have to make your views about race or feminism related to literature. Just go to those boards if the literature requirement is too burdensome for you?

The issue is that threads related to literature are also deleted. And this board is good for a literate viewpoint that you don't see on /pol/ or /r9k/. You can use non-literature topics as a jumping-off point for a literature discussion, and other types of shitposts are allowed. There is no real reason DFW memeposting should stay but ">2016 >female authors" is banned.
