>>24841786sounds like he posts here!
>>24841786>Bro being a slave to a roastie and popping out few parasites is the pinnacle of human experinecekys
>>24841786>autistic cat
>>24841786>my exMogs me
>>24841786This guy seems insincere, like he's heavily playing up his own quirkiness
>>24841839Yeah I don't know how nobody else seems to notice this. They all seem to think he is genuinely autistic and not playing it up at all.
>>24841902Nini or Tao?
>>24841908Both of you
>>24841839I maybe would have thought that until seeing a video of him on some kind of cooking show. I've also got a buddy, who, despite being very different from Tao in a lot of ways, I was immediately reminded of by Tao on the cooking show. Said friend isn't tweeting about his life or publishing essays, but the sort of stuff Tao says doesn't strike me as (definitively) insincere.Some of the novelty of him was that while his writing fit in with the sort of put-on flat-affect insincere "alt-lit", Tao Lin meant it.Here's the cooking show:https://youtu.be/d2BJSV8Q1Yw
>>24842056Damn, Tao Lin got ugly.
>>24841786This dumb chinese gegbull is posting about how he feeds his cats raw milk on instagram. This is a great way to give your cats avian flu because you're a neurotic retard who fell for a grift.He's going to kill his cats and all of his shithead sycophants will pretend it was some unavoidable tragedy.
>>24842058wrong he's jacked now
>>24841786He's me except im 43
>>24841792Satan's tongue wags in your mouth.
>>24843725Satan would want people to breed so he can get more torture victims.
>>24841786That's him? kek, looks 52.That breakup must have destroyed him.
>>24841786Taipei was shit and I'm still mad I fell for the meme
>>24842056Seems high as fuck instead of autistic.
>>24843926Was about to say, he seems high as shit to me. The way he physically moves, the way he was eating the salad, as someone whose autistic, he doesn't strike me really as an autist. Hes either high or trolling. Probably both.
>>24841786This guy had one semi-viral (on this board) book over a decade ago and has since descended into autistic nonsense and gimmicks for attention. Is this going to be the fate of all /lit/ authors?
>>24844135>>24844135It wouldn't be a surprise if he was high, but his mannerisms really reminded me of my friend, who's pretty much entirely sober as far as I'm aware.
>>24841786That quote is really terrible. Harper's used to publish DFW for God's sake...
I don't like any of Tao Lin's new work, and his current arc is incredibly boring. Yet more proof that edgy authors have an incredibly brief but exciting lifespan. He should move on to editing or something. I've seen enough.
Tao Lin is better than ever. I liked reading 9000 words about Nini. It seems like Tao Lin is living his best life. Leave Society is the only book from the 2020's I have re-read. Tao Lin lives on The Big Island, Hawaii. He is writing on five or six non-fiction books, one of which is titled Reasons to Live, a title he borrowed from Amy Hempel's 1985 book Reasons to Live. I look forward to reading more text by Taiwanese-American alt-lit pioneer Tao Lin.
>>24841839>>24841902yeah he puts on this autistic act but as a failson to a major fortune he's always getting ass and wants u to know it. idk how anyone with genuine 'tism could believe this guy's lame schtick when half his social media is him posing with chicks. i read his one hit meme book 15 years ago, it wasn't good, and i shan't be reading 9000 words about this loser's cat.
>keep adverbs and adjectives to a minim-ACK
>>24846687>i apply rules for newspaper columnists to my own writing because ... i just do ok!
>>24841798>>autistic catsounds like a cool cat. Probably more interesting to be around than the owner, desu.
Who is his ex?
>>24843725Shalom, fellow goy! Shame on those who don't want to produce more slaves!
