Bruh that channel is the literal personification of reddit.
Of course he doesn't know what it means, it's like asking a fish what's water. Retard
Also fuck reddit, the most toxic place on the internet with the most aggressively retarded cuck users.

Why would reddit like Blood Meridian? It's full of racism, amoral activity, ethic cleansing of the indigenous by white settlers, rape, pedophilia and none it are condemned

Hypersocialized, hyperconformist, focused on style over substance, intolerant of differing opinions, low intelligence, low self-confidence, no concept of truth outside the consensus, leftist, anti-white, racist, seeking approval of others rather than truth.

Reddit is gay n' all but I don't know if /lit is much better. Reddit ascribes the depth of mariana trench to anything deeper than a puddle. Meanwhile /lit/ discounts shit just because it is popular or just serves a death cult of "right" takes so that no one ever thinks for themselves. Oh or just right wing/obscure/difficult reads = good. I still prefer /lit/ despite that, or well I've never really browsed reddit so I wouldn't know.

Generally speaking a coward or something produced by a coward: consensus seeking, deferential, inoffensive, vanilla, preoccupied with appearance, low/no risk appetite.

The entire premise is unremarkable low status males/females banding together for influence and acclaim amongst themselves. For the same reason, nothing of note ever comes from there. Xitter critters have had far more influence on the world though they're limited to a couple sentences.

Reddit at least has good amateur porn. Plus you can message most of them and say things like "hey bitch nice butthole" or whatever you want

It's been so weird to watch Blood Meridian go from /lit/core / bro-lit book to this Zoomer meme thing. I remember raving about this book in college (late 20teens) and nobody had heard of it. To be fair they weren't really readers, but I can't imagine that today, even my friends who don't read have heard of it and have a very hazy understanding it's about evil

Reddit is bad but what’s worse is trashing something because it is having moment in the sun. No one will care 5 years from now that retards from Tik tok once collectively got excited about a book that they read a total of 10 pages of between benders of short form content consumption. For a forum that prides itself on being reactionary and immune to public opinion, /lit/ is annoyingly attuned to the opinions of the hour. I imagine behind every post calling Blood Meridian “Reddit” is a poster reprimanding himself for having once liked the book because someone they find annoying also liked the book. This place is best when it actually does reach a state of aloofness from virality, like that guy whose online persona is a ceaseless crusade against like two dudes who have thomist and Neoplatonist readings of Aristotle. Much better than this constant re-evaluation of canonicity because of a Tik tok.

Right. You would think this board would just disregard what the outside world says, but there are just tons of posts whining about faggots reading fantasy and feminist slop. Why bother complaining about things that are not literature, and were never literature to begin with? And Blood Meridian has been memed to death here long before Reddit tards scrawled their judge Holden fanart.

I think the very essence of reddit is the paradox of simultaneously adhering to a strict, uniform taste and set of ideas enforced by their censorship and voting system, while also wanting to seem like they have some extraordinary, special opinion or idea that nobody else has and that they're way smarter and cooler than everyone for that. The hilarious result is that you have thousands of people who all think they're special for knowing about this edgy, transgressive book. It's just typical midwit shit and /lit/ is admittedly sometimes not much better but I find that smug, self-congratulatory way redditors show off their special snowflake opinions makes them an easier target for mockery.

>>24676230
>It's been so weird
no it isn't, you just understand nothing about the 2020s and have not been paying any attention

zoomers on /lit/ have been unabashed vultures/sycophants who came here with no culture of their own and just started pretending to read whatever the resident millennials were saying was good
they're so obsessed with clout and hateful of "gatekeeping" that they proceed to take whatever they picked up and go run around and tell everyone on the outside how cool these things are in the hopes they'll get cool points for publicly being into it, so desperate are they for an identity and validation

niche things aren't niche anymore because zoomers will eagerly exploit that nicheness for perceived personal gain

None of them have read it (hehehe) they've just seen people talk about it and absorbed a few talking points to pretend they have.

Zoomers also have a distinct tepidness about stating their sincerely held beliefs. They are always like "take a look at my taste in art, music, lit, film, etc teehee I must have so much social anxiety and am a virgin with taste like this!" It's so absolutely pathetic.

schizophrenic how? overt snark, conformism and shallowness are traits of most reddit threads

They're the exact traits of most 4Chan threads too.
What's your point?

you are slowly understanding the consequences of redditfugees
while still not having elaborated on the schizophrenia claim, guess you just felt like throwing in a buzzword

>>24679844
conformist to what? internal board culture? if memes and running-gags are conformism to you, i cant disagree, but theres always been people speaking their mind to a degree not possible on platforms like reddit
im also not saying that 4chan is the antithesis to reddit, but claiming that there is no such thing as a reddit style of discourse feels disingenuous
>>
>>24675432
Woah, this showed up in my feed. My algorithm has been some ass lately, and I thought a 4chan adjacent video would be a catalyst to push it back into a weirder territory. Made it about 5 minutes in and realized he had no point to make. He just rambles about the list and talks about how he really, really liked blood meridian. He continually asks, in a faux philosophical voice, "what does calling something reddit mean?"

To me, this whole conversation seems derived from /lit/ conversations, so I thought he'd have more schizo takes. Nope. Turns out he's a normie with boring taste and downright pathetic essay-writing skills
>>
>>24679800
For me as a non american it's 2. They have been so insufferable shitting up online spaces and media the last 10 years that I've cheered on Trump winning even if he is as far from my political stances as possible. Trumptards are irritating as well but on a much lower level.
>>
>>24679864
people still self-censor here just in a different way. Less stratified and noticeable than Reddit.
