Give it to me straight, how horrified would he be at the current state of the world?
>>24687184He'd kill himself if he could see things now.
>>24687184Bret Michaels is still alive.
He was a weakling crybaby, what he thinks about anything is below us who can at least get out of bed without crying
>>24687184Its interesting that literary culture of melancholic libs he grew up in and found success in is like completely gone now. Good riddance.I would look forward to his appearance of the Adam Friedland show
he would have survived if he had been brought up in anywhere but the pill subscribing west
>>24687184He'd probably be addicted to tiktok and kill himself again. He might have liked stardew valley.
Nah I think he'd be happy, after reading his entire bibliography I can say with certain that every gripe he had with society has more or less been resolved by now.
He was already horrified after realizing he can't rape little girls and get away with it so he decided to make reddit tier books with big words in it that people pretend are good
>>24687238I preferred crying a lot to never crying. Emotionlessness sucks. Besides, there's good reason to cry. I won't fault the pathetic crybabies.>>24687245I feel like all expression of melancholia is dead. You're either completely detached or you're framing your experience and feeling like a psychologist. Those who try mostly come off as clumsily oversentimental.
gaddis would probably be more horrified with the state of the world if you raised him back from the grave
>>24687184He would take night walks, and I would figure out his schedule and pay a BBC BVLL to rape him and I would secretly record it in order to goon to it later and sell it to other DFW BBC rape fans.
>>24687184Watched this guy's interview on yt. He sounded like a huge faggot.
>>24687184I could see a few non-mutually exclusive scenarios>get turbo-fucked by #MeToo>abandons principles, shameless anti-Trump shill>doesn't make it to 2025 anyway--COVID-19, overdosing, or mysterious death blamed on vaccine>seen as more right-wing just based on massive change from the American Left>weird old boomer seen as a relic, no one cares about his stuff anymore>darling of the left-wing until he says something that goes against the dogma (see J.K. Rowling) but doesn't go right
>>24687229I was thinking Axl Rose.
>>24687184He would've gotten #MeToo'd really hard and killed himself then. Or maybe he doesn't kill himself but he gets Junot Diaz'd and his career never recovers, relegated to posting long Substacks nobody reads and shopping around a novel to fourth-rate publishers
