If you denounce white people as a white person do other white people want to fuck you? and does this happen with any other countries/cultures? Korea? Ecuador? Russia?

I know this book is idpol slop but I am naively hoping for some replies that aren't just tired chud posts.

>>24725955
Why are you talking to us and not your new friends then?
What kinds of input are you looking for? It is a sub 100 page book written by an asain american writing about culture and appropriation by an asain american author pretending not to be asain american.

Yellowface? More like Yellowtits!

Kuang gets too much hate. Yellowface is great. A nice satire about Asian men wanting to be white so badly yet can't even see their own merits.
>>
>>24725889
Never heard of this book but it seems like Asian female diaspora literature so here's the plot:
>I hate white women!
>I want to fuck white women!
>I want to be a white woman!
>I hate white women!
There now you don't have to read it
>>
I think the most aggravating thing about chuds is that they don't realize this space existed before they were here. They don't realize this place had it's own culture. They flooded in during the election and tried their hardest to replace anything worthwhile with trans-derangement and racism. And they think they're right to do so. They believe it's their entitlement. It really is a mirror of women and alphabet people invading every nerd space around the same time. A lot of the chuds probably are displaced nerds.

This is true but also Kuang is diasporoid trash

do you mean women?
>>
>>24726078
no men. Ther'es a reason why "AznMasculinity" forums exist and why Kuang herself married a white guy. Asian men are just ick with their low self-esteem and constant belittling of themselves.

There's a viral post of a white woman who regrets marrying an asian man (who in all his dreams, achieved what he wanted, yet remained unhappy) because of his self-esteem issues.
>>
>>24725889

this book isn't even that bad. i'm pretty sure kuang wrote it to show how stupid identity politics are after she got in a row with a journalist or something. the worst part about the book is the ending which sort of comes out of no where
>>
>>24726097

Yes, it is.

This is ascended retardation, Kuang clearly thinks that idpol is good and must be defended against white women

Chuds on /tv/ are too lazy to watch a 90 minute movie but have no problems spamming their chud opinions all day every day, but I'm supposed to believe the chuds on /lit/ are spending 9 hours reading a book they hate just so they could share an opinion like "It sucks!" with us?

This place has always been a safe space for disenfranchised basement dwellers, it has continuously resisted being turned into an ideological monolith in any direction of the spectrum, and the only culture that has consistently prevailed throughout time has been contrarianism. Stop trying to rewrite history, you loser.
>>
>>24726190
It's an under 30 book club so I imagine it's going to be more 20 something bluehairs and maybe a numale or two. I'm probably just going to gently say I'm more interested in class politics than identity politics and hope the choices for next month are more interesting. Anyways I haven't even read the book yet so hopefully there's something interesting to talk about.

>>24726305
Do you spend any time interacting with 16-25 year old girls/women? My wife has lots of young friends and they're pretty much all unbearable.
>>
>>24726305
When I was 14 and 15 I liked adult women and specially tall girls of 18 and 19. But I also remember wanting to fuck my classmates that were my same age or 1-2 years older. Now I am 19 and I only like older girls. There was a point where I thought I liked younger girls while being 18 but it was just a momentary feeling and mostly came from trying to relive in my mind when I was 15 yo.
>>
>>24726180
>but I'm supposed to believe the chuds on /lit/ are spending 9 hours reading a book they hate

I spent a month reading Mien Kamph and I hate Hitler. If anything hate might be a stronger motivator than anything else to finish a book.

Careful, they'll berate you for being a 'class reductionist" without being able to explain why that's a bad thing.
>>
>>24726563
Yes. I imagine so. Maybe I'll just sit there nodding my head as people I have no reference point for connecting with talk about asian identity and appropriation or whatever.
>>
>>24726010
>They don't realize this place had its own culture.
Whatever “culture” this place had was memetic runoff from Something Awful. Moot was a SA refugee obsessed with anime/furries/degeneracy, and combined two stolen sites to make an ugly stepchild of an image board that eventually outshined both parents.

This place has always been rampant with degeneracy and ironic showboating, a place where retards could say anything as long as it made them feel like they were “winning.” The culture shift you are seething at was a natural evolution, inevitable and undoubtedly deserved. This was always a shithole and you are a newfag still stuck with romanticized visions of something this place never was.
>>
>>24726727
I've been here for 15 years. I don't have any illusions. I just preferred the contrarianism back then to the endless chudposting now. It's so repetitive and it's not even contrary to anything anymore.

>I think the most aggravating thing about chuds is that they don't realize this space existed before they were here
I still remember when /lit/ was the lefty board. There were the schizos screeching JOO JOO JOO, sure, but /lit/ was home to the idpol-skeptical left on 4chan. (idpol-skeptical in this context doesn't mean "FUCK BROWNOIDS" but more "yes systematic racism exists, obviously, but class oppression is what we should organize around")

There is no systemic racism in the West, but yeah I'm of a rather conservative-flavoured leftism if that makes any sense. I usually refer to myself as an "original liberal" or as centre-right. The thing is that a lot of harsh and unpleasant truths can exist at the same time, and the world is far from perfect, but right now we're killing ourselves trying to fix it while the ones doing the "fixing" are Satanists and pedophiles and organized crime.

Babel is, unsurprisingly, another story about intersectionality and hating white people, and pretty damn unsubtle about it.

This book is a self insert of the author having an imaginary war of words with a white girl who wronged her back in school. Kuang’s exploration of racism is about as deep as a puddle, and unfortunately a mile wide as she drivels forever and ever and ever.

I expect half your book club will be raving about how much they loved it while ignoring how obviously shit it is

Book clubs are for women.
There was never anything social about reading besides the relationship between you and the author.
Having a gay little book club after directly touching the authors inner voice through their writing is cheating on the author, and you should be a ashamed of your whoredom.
>>
>>24727602
Book clubs were largely formed so women had a space separate from university, and while they were largely barred from school until the 20th century, literature assignments didn’t accept a thesis that begins with “I feel like um ” so book clubs persist.

But don’t let that dissuade you, OP. Book clubs are a good place to talk to women so you can relieve yourself of any anxiety and see how retarded they actually are. It’s very well possible you might meet a cutie pie in the group without an abhorrent brain.
>>
>>24727602
I've been I one good "book club" and there was no pre-reading. we just took turns deciding on plays and short stories to read together and talk about a little bit. unfortunately it was at a ymca I worked at for a summer and i haven't found anything like it since. i wonder if the fact that there were so many seasonal workers and the town wasn't big enough for 2 book clubs helped, if it forced the librarian to set up the club in a way that anybody could come and go as they pleased and enjoy it.

Can’t agree with this when this place is becoming something more like everywhere else with each passing day. The branches should have, if left uninterrupted, continued into their own paths, with maybe some overlap, though short-lived. Instead they all converge on the same form, as if every mammal became a biped.

Is this book a wealthy asian woman who concretely has 1000 times more privilege than myself having a breakdown because there is a white woman with more privilege than herself?
