THIS FUCKING SUCKS!

tru

There is something about Blood Meridian that seems to kindle and encourage nothing but the loftiest level of discussion on this board.

Where are all these contrarian opinions coming from? Veeky Forums heralded McCarthy as the best writer alive alongside Pynchon, and over the last year or so it's turned to threads like these

Did you get triggered?

Idk, I unironically think it might be redditors. There were a bunch of socialist redditors trying to sockpuppet on Veeky Forums a while back ago, and I guess a few of them must have stuck around.

What did he mean by this???

You need to contrast this opinion against something you think is great, so that we can understand where you're coming from.

Unless you started a thread like this attempting to rile people up, which would be a far sadder reflection of your life than ours.

I don't think his commercial successes with film adaptations have helped his reputation.

it's far 'cooler' for college students to say you like Pynchon because the man is still this enigmatic character.

No it isn't. Its because he's a massively overrated shit writer. I felt absolutely zero connection to any of the characters in the story, had no interest in the pointless plot, and hated his writing style that consists of a declarative statement followed by a a metaphor describing something or just a simple adjective/noun combo.

>AND THEY DID THIS AND THEY DID THAT AND THEY DID THIS AND THE KID SPAT AND THEY KILLED NIGGERS AND THEY RODE ON INTO THE NEXT TOWN AND THEY KILLED NIGGERS AND THEY DROWNED PUPPIES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THEY RODE THROUGH TH DESERT AND THEY KILLED NIGGERS AND THEN MEXICANS AND THEN APACHES AND THEN SCALPED THEM AND AND AND AND AND AND AND AND AND AND.

*spits*

it's because you're a reg left nu-male

*high fives you*

I don't know about OP but I started calling him Corncob "tortillas" YeCarthy about a year or so ago and that sowed some kernels of discontent with the cocksucking attitude most of Veeky Forums had with him. He's one of the biggest hacks of all time, and even that memer Harold Bloom thinks YeCarthy's been writing nothing but shit since everyone started fellating him for Bloodmeme and its more immediate followups.

im not a redditor, and reddit apparently loves this book
hes just bad.

McElroy >>>

the only people i know irl who like mccarthy are nu-males

>the only people i know irl are nu-males

Guess what that means

haha epic dude your intentional misconstrual of my post really trolled me XD

lol you moron, people have been using corncob since about 2009

you hang around nu-males enough to know their taste in literature, you're probably a nu-male yourself. It's not a misconstrual.

>i have no higher education and work in a warehouse, the post

90% of it is people who couldn't make it though BM. Once the discussion moves beyond, "yell your ignorant opinion at the board as loud as you can," they run off and stop responding aside from maybe a few keks and umads or whatever.

McCarthy does have some legit detractors though. Mostly people who hate his whole reinvention as an Oprah plugging hollywood mainstay.

you did however make corncob significantly less funny by piling on less clever memes derived from his later works, those probably being the only ones you've read

Wow what an excellent rebuttal. Did you learn your keen arguing skills from your higher education and time spent outside of warehouses?

jesus christ dude, shut the fuck up already

you are an absolute embarrassment.

thanks mane
>inb4 he cries samefag

/pol/ BTFO

The judge concept is based

his style is forced and stale

there, I said it

we're all just waiting for your /r9k/ forged alt right facade to crack, for you to breakdown, put a gun in your mouth and blow your brains out the back of your shit filled head

>there, I said it
I didn't think your had it in you, but you just went ahead and said it, you relative madman. Now this is true grit.

You're both embarrassments. Get the fuck out

unironically, what did you mean by this
did you quote the wrong person?

I'm convinced it's one person doing this like every other BM thread. Trying to cause strife aside, the problem I believe with the novel for most people is the violence and how the book is simple in terms of it's themes. Some readers love to pull the veil back to look at the bigger picture, but when you find nothing, just nature, some people cannot handle that.

This is a masculine reaction

Perhaps, if you're not the guy talking in pol and r9k memes then I resend.

No one is waiting for your facade to crack. May your facade stand strong and eternal; may the neoclassical trim and faux-stone wash forever conceal the bricks and mortar beneath.

this sucks

right on, drop it and pick up GR
