The first faggot of history: Despite homosexuality being somehow tolerated amongst the nobility, because they above the law anyway, he openly dated male prostitutes, well knowing that syphilis was a big risk. He pushed this to the point his worried mother had to bring him infront of a judge for his own sexual health and then he made a whole career about being the first opressed gay person and his writings became famous despite being completed garbage.Classic faggot move.
They're coping by saying Wilde was a bad writer now...
>>18000930Literally everyone knows him as the gay writer, most poeple cant even name a single piece of work from him. Nuff said. Faggot detected.
>>18000937>I'm a fucking retard, so that mean everyone else is as stupid as I amHang yourself coping cunt.
>>18000937If you grew up in the English speaking world and graduated high school you should have at least heard of Importance of Being Ernest
>>18000943ESL cunts have a rage reaction to things actual people know by default.
>>18000941>>18000943>>18000945Ohh they made you read a faggot and told you its good... So thats why you are all gay now.I had the privilege to learn about goete and schiller. No dicks inside my ass today .
>>18000950>admitting to not having read Wilde>still whines about himAbsolute state of ESL cunts.
>>18000951Im an ETC cunt. Please do not shame me for not taking your homosexual bait and spending 20h reading a gay mans thoughts.
>>18000923I'd love to argue with you over this, but I need to visit my very sick friend Bunbury out in the country.
>>18000963>Bun-buryEverything is just a huge gay fuckfest for you guys, isnt it?
Up until that era men having sex with men was mostly don’t ask don’t tell and the normies were oblivious. It’s obvious to us how turbogay Walt Whitman was but at the time readers just took it as overheated Victorian era bromance. He was fired from a government clerk job for his hetero erotic poems, not the manly stuff. Only later in life did a growing number of his readers, including Wilde of course, catch on to the obvious.
>>18000950>>18000959Goethe wrote poems about pederasty bro
>>18000937>Literally everyone knows him as the gay writer, most poeple cant even name a single piece of work from himFairly sure most people who didn't drop out of HS have heard of Dorian Gray
>>18001436Walt Whitman rejected the premise of obligate homosexuality as an existential threat to everything he was doing as an artist. He wanted to be "just an American" he wanted to be part of the world. He literally couldn't have achieved that as a homo, so he kept everything in private and maybe chaste as well. The way people go back and claim his legacy for homosexuality is a great example of why it shouldn't exist as a concept.
>>18001445Societal repression acts like a pressure cooker for great artists. “Don’t trash the monarch or talk about religious conflict!” made Shakespeare sublimate those topics into his greatest works. Whitman in current year would be just another degenerate with no reason to write.
>>18001568Not sure I'd go that far. He'd be a degenerate with no reason to write because of sitting at the computer living a synthetic life.
>>18001568Ridiculous. If Chad Whitman thought he needed a wife and spawn to succeed, he would've bagged them. He just foolishly thought people who loved his poems would respect what he said about his personal life.
