How is this not just smut? Where's the philosophy?
>>

I have that book but never touched it. It is truly just smut?
>>
I honestly think the best kind of smut is the kind where the characters pause to give grand philosophical justifications for their actions
>>
>hmm that’s an interesting point about the role of the church in revolution era France
>ahh now it segues into another 20 pages of fart porn, didn’t see that coming
De Sade is the ultimate troll who got one over on the jannies after his death and he should be celebrated for that, but
libertinism is just hedonism with a French accent so try not to take it too seriously.

>being virtuous is dumb because people are shit and you get nothing out if it and God won't save you because he doesn't exist
There. That's the point of the story. I think he accidentally proves himself wrong, but that is what he was going for

It's not very smutty actually. This one is torture porn for the most part

God gave men the eyes to see
Some are born blind , however

smut is just lgbt philosophy

>Yet another De Sade thread
Is it unironically just one guy?

>>24725514
Do we need a thread about this garbage EVERY SINGLE DAY?

>>24725519

Ever watched "Hostel?"

>>24725514
It gets very philosophical-y when the degenerates start trying to justify their crimes
>>
>>24725514
I would read this if it was called "Justin" and it was about a young boy. But it's about a foid, so I don't care.

>>24726859
There is male homosexuality in it
>>
>>24725824

Sorry dude, OP is just trying to remind me that I am a horrible person for having read De Sade's shit in the past. OP needs to f--- off and get drunk and party at a nightclub or bar like he did back in college on the weekends.
