Thread 24602659

Just discovered r/bookshelfdetectives. This bookshelf is a red flag because it has so few female authors and too many biographies.

>r/
>red flag
>femoid quota
>too many books of information about people that may be important to the history of literature
absolutely grim state of this board this week

>>24602667
To be clear, I do not agree with the reddittors. Just reporting.

op's pic definitely a pseudie cringe shelf

>>24602659 (OP)
you just know it's some pseud's bookshelf
>self help slop >king >art of war >man up! >bill clinton and all of that is mixed with theoretical physics and plato and G-d knows what else

>>24602670
>>24602685
It's a weird set of books for sure, I'd call it psuedie but it's not too different from what I read myself
Except for the Harry Potter and self-help crap, and I don't care about Clinton.

>>24602659 (OP)
So, never heard of it until today, but just took a glance at that sub and isn't it supposed to be people posting their own shelves? Would be pretty annoyed if I let some woman into my place and she started taking pics of my shelves for random redditors to judge. Ironically, I'd probably get a green flag since I've got a lot of female written YA on my shelves from when I was younger.

>>24602659 (OP)
Terry Prachett peeping out of my bookshelf got me laid with an absolute specimen of a girl. Eyes like pools of oil, cream white skin, big ass breasts, pitch black hair, thank you sir terry.

>>24602685
eh agree its a shit bookshelf and most people with more than 40 books literally dont read or barely read. Rich noble spirits being the exception, to have both the leisure and the mental acuity to rack up the gems and the desire to keep them for true reference

>>24602668
Go the fuck back

A guy uploading a picture of his bookshelf on Hinge is really cringe (context of the picture).

>>24602685
>self help slop
I will never understand why people need this kind of paper toilet.

This bookshelf is a red flag because Art of War is displayed very prominently.

>>24602659 (OP)
My dad likes biographies. My dad is also married to my mom. I don't think she sees him as a red flag at considering I have a brother and a sister.

>>24603152
the art of war is actually dece. its vague but the principles are solid

Idk about redflags but he does seem too poor to be flexing like this.

>>24602659 (OP)
Putting that pitiful shelf on a dating app is weird. Random vanilla selection of books that doesn't show any personality at all.

OP isn't just a Redditor but dyslexic as well.

>>24603249
Its a real sub, I must have just gotten the name wrong

>>24603186
The principles are solid but blatant, obvious, and already practiced by anyone who isn't retarded.

>>24603278
Thanks, lad. I was much more tempted to complain than spend any additional time searching for a SubReddit.

>books facing outward
Very feminine behavior desu. A dude making sure his Einstein biography faces outward is some tryhard pseud behavior.

Any Predditors want to post my selection of evil ass books? Please refer to me as your 47 year old boyfriend.

>books facing out instead of placed sideways
Why can't people simply just read and enjoy literature instead of feeling the need to show off their taste?

>>24603334
Fucking hell, lads. I found a relic when I reorganized my shelf; underneath Hitler, a dart has rested since 2018 -- before Canadian tobacco went to shit. Tonight I get plastered and smoke the Aryan spirit.

>>24602659 (OP)
It's a red flag because he puts books forward facing.

>>24603607
why the fuck would you post with scratched out books, looking for (you)s?

>>24604003
you are retarded. i know 4 people with bookshelves of books that dont pick up a single one.

Nah, I would've thought so, too, but we had a thread recently asking how many books people read out of what they owned and the results were surprising. I'm apparently one of the few on here who reads everything I buy.

also, for the record, that bookshelf is the waste shit i haven't the heart to throw away. about 90% i'd give away today

Redditors are ideologues that consider all shades of gray as unacceptable evil that must be purged from this earth. This includes useful knowledge. Eventually they will have found every flaw to every man and must spend the rest of their lives isolated from the outside world so as to not taint themselves with sin.

The only real "red flag" here is the books being turned outward that they may be seen, but not read.

Looks like the thread's slowed down considerably. One or two people caught on though and some well poisoner at the top killed it.

>>24604699
Holy shit, go back.

Went on the subreddit and a lot of posts from any post is always concerned about somebody not having women authors. I don't get this, do these people not choose books based on the content but instead who wrote it? It sounds incredibly performative. When I pick books I only really look for what the book is about, I hardly ever remember the author or even look at the name.

>>24604990

That’s insane. What’s the point

>>24604140

The author won a lifetime achievement award from the Man Booker Prize people. Man Booker is pozzed as fuck. Are redditors more illiterate than 4channers?

>>24602724
I’m wondering if you think 40 books is some superhuman level of reading or if you think 40 books would be the number a pseud would stop at to show off his library? I find your insanity intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

>>24604990
Women really, really don't like the fact that there are far fewer good female authors than men, if any at all, so they demand that people read female authors to artificially inflate their performance. Some men will also hold this opinion because they believe doing anything that women want will make the women more likely to have sex with them. Thus, there are lots of people walking around demanding that you read female authors, even though female authors are usually dogshit.

>>24604990
This is the “I don’t see colour” of jelly spined fence sitters. The reality is there aren’t an equal number of women writers worth reading. Even if you’re a retarded feminist you would concede, nay as a core part of your argument, point out women authors barely existed until the last 70 or so years. Outliers like George Elliot or the Bronte’s or Shelley are outliers for a reason (another classic “women and libs don’t comprehend per capita” moment available here as they will inevitably protest and self contradict themselves).

Top literature lists already bend over backwards to bring in women authors that have no business being there. Joyce Carol Oates isn’t a top scifi author. Octavia E Butler can’t write timetravel or horror to contend with middling males. At this point they have to switch to “other perspectives” which is when you know you really scraped the barrel. Yes it’s poorly written and derivative but a man would never have written a horny loli vampire with questionable attitudes to rape trauma. Woah! I’m so enriched.

>>24605558
It's all about person, never idea. The more marginalised you are, the more these people will inherently value you. It's a cognitive dissonance in direct proportion to the number of labels you identify with and how purple your hair is. There's this obsession with how virtuous you are by your associations alone, and they will actively avoid insights made by people they deem unacceptable. It's a sickness of the internet, and it will hopefully heal as this thing locks down for good.

>>24602659 (OP)
This bookshelf is a red flag because books are facing as if it were a Barnes and Noble. The owner probably hasn't read any of it.

Damn, I thought I really had a shot at dating DworkinWarrior1989 before my bookshelf got doxxed as toxi-problematic.

I cant imagine a life so vapid. Nitpicking the bookshelves, the clothes, the haircuts of random strangers you'll never meet as if the queue to your vagina is some exclusive club.

>>24604388
They're right though. There can be no reasonable justification for starting a world war and genociding millions of peoplefor example. You won't gdt any benefit from reading about their excuses.

This is so sad, emulating a shelf at Barnes and Noble in my dirty apt. The atmosphere never gets quite right nor can I brew a perfect espresso like they make it, and I am always getting pink eye from the fecal particles floating around the air. I would love to get out more but for the death of third places and nobody ever picks me on my dating profile. :(

Someone should reply to them and say it's very worrying that they know this information about Evola, as you've never even heard of him.

>>24606492
Yes, it's very obvious you don't buy books for their contents but for how they look on your shelf. This is why you were accused of having read none of them.

Reddit’s way too prone to bait. Somehow worse than /tv/.

It’s also summer time, which means school is out and teenagers are more commonplace on the site.

I do also wonder how many accounts on reddit are real nowadays. Anytime I see an account with some username that’s like “epic-narwhals-1337” that is less than a year old, I just assume it’s a bot. Searching for answers on reddit is like buying old cars nowadays. The older the post, the more reliable the answer will be.

I found you nazis via r/AgainstHateSubreddits.

The racism here is truly horrifying.

That bookshelf really opened my eyes to how dangerous white supremacy continues to be. Originally, I thought that their hatred for people of color only manifested in words, but y'all made me concious of the fact that the threat of the KKK and Nazism continues to be very real and is a direct result of letting this ideology fester. I, as a Jew, have had expereiences with anti-Semitism in the past, but never have I feared for my safety until this. Diluting this immortal declaration with fascist rhetoric, even jokingly, will only cause more pain and discourse for not only minority groups, but white people too. Equality is the only path to a truly happy and successful world. Ending here, I want to apologize on behalf of white people for all these embarrassingly outdated and insensitive posts.

Sincerely, a jewish girl.

Don't fight prejudice with prejudice sweetheart. There's some very good people on this board and some big hearts beating beneath the pol gusto. Not to mention this board is at least fifty percent gay and forty percent repressed and ten percent approaching troonhood. There's too many great jewish authors to pass judgement over the entire tribe. I'm not antisemetic at all. In fact I'm not anything at all. I'm not even a person anymore. A few years ago my voice caught in the back of my throat and I haven't found it since then. We could be so beautiful.

I was gonna say that this thread's trying too hard with reddit but I take it back. It's genuinely fascinating to see how even a relatively normie and apolitical subreddit acts like a bunch of backwater hicks. The mere mention of Hitler's enough to have them signing off evil eyes and other superstitious rituals. And I thought kvetching about Nabokov was a 2010s thing that died off. Fascinating, chat.

Honestly the most surprising part. 70 years later and subliterates are still proving Nabby right.

>>24608416
They were probably all raped as kids. It makes a lot of sense whyd they cling to that over a guy who all they know about him is that hes a "superfascist". Life becomes really easy when you can psychoanalyze ppl this way

Rip. Any non-pozzed recommendations?

What a fun thread this is.

>>24608473
reading the reddit comments as they came in real time was genuinely funny

>>24608495
I imagine. How long did it take them to realize they were being trolled?

>>24606934
The Westminster Study Bible is NRSVue and is excellent.

>>24608515
nta but they weren't even really being trolled, we were just curious what would happen

Fair enough. Seems like it was good fun had by all.

What makes it better than the Oxford that I've been waiting for? Oxford's is bound to be academic to the point of faithlessness, but I thought that would be useful. Perhaps the Reformed canon version would be even better, so I could baste in their thinking and sift and sort it tare from wheat.

>>24608452
It is neutral enough in presenting the commonly accepted facts and only repeats victory talking points every now and then.

One or two guys were on to us but that was it, most people were taking the title at face value despite the fucking sonichu crochet and telling this fictional woman to "run", lmfao.

This guy though, >>24604558 found the post (it's in the picture he posted but I think he deleted the comment) but no one upvoted him and people kept falling for it until that one faggot linked the thread on the top post once the top comment crystalized.
That top comment wasn't even at the top initially, it took hours for him to get upvoted and people kept falling for it.

Yes, many publishers and retiring people give you free books. If I assign an everyman's they send me free copies for me and TA groups.

In truth I've spent probably less than 10k of my own money on thousands of books.

I pick these up in France for like $5-10 dollars each.

Why not? Prove it instead of emitting vapid moralisms.

>>24613346
Since when did listening become reading?

>>24614355
The problem is that those who think this overload the term and equate "reading" with "absorbing information from a written source, no matter the method." A difference in definition, wherein sensible persons will say "reading is when you use your eyes to decipher the meaning of written text," maybe conceding that Braille counts.

It's retarded semantics either way.

Who the fuck does this?

It took me to ten minutes to figure out how to navigate this awful site but it will be worth it: You have been caught and you are PATHETIC.

I can't believe a place like this exists where so many sexless losers congregate. Your misogynistic comments are just a reflection of your unhealthy relationships with the women in your lives - which is the very reason no woman will ever touch you. Female authors are the foundation of modern literature and your myopic worldviews will contine to stay small with this sexist attitude.

Repeat these words tonight when you lie alone in bed tonight: "No one loves me and I'm going to die alone."

P.S. Go to hell

>>24614403
bro....

>>24616359
Why do you care what people in spaces totally separate from ones you frequent think? Keep to yours. People would read female authors more if they tended produce anything of value, rather than affirming memetic, marketable beliefs without critical thought. Or, in most cases, existing merely as thinly-veiled pornography.
