>be a massive cunt your entire life
>write books about how much of a cunt you were
>people love them
what does that mean
>>

>The world is full of massive cunts.
I believe almost everyone is an asshole.
>>
>>24954708
probably the appeal is that he never tried to hide it

>>24954705
>is primarily read by women
>women love abusive, low-impulse dangerous men
What's not to get?
>>
>>24954712
I don't get women
>>
>>24954705
I mean, it's well documented that people love assholes. In real life it's more women who think they can tame/fix them. But men often admire them in fiction and wish they could act so uninhibited while sober.
>>
>>24954712
>>is primarily read by women
Is he really? Women seem to bitch endlessly about his thoughts on them and how he writes them to the point many now consider a man liking him a "red flag". Are they hate reading or it's a guilty pleasure and they're just lying to themselves?
>>
>>24954735
women love being treated like dirt, they pretend they don't like it but they constantly phantasize of a Chinaski filling their holes
>>
>>24954735
if this is a pic of bukowski it's funny bc I'm a woman and I started reading him when I was like 14, idek why. but it would be funny if 14 y/o girls actually represented the majority of his audience.

I thought he seemed gross and not in a good way
>>
>>24954705
He wrote confessional poetry, which women love. And he took himself and his writing seriously, so his skill was apparent.
>>
>>24954735
It's both things. They like it because it's juice for them to squeeze. They can envision getting all up in his shit and trying to change him.
>>
>>24954735
don’t know about that, BUT the cutest sweetest girl i ever knew had an ‘i was born to hustle roses down the avenues of the dead’ tattoo on her leg.
>>

And that's exactly what they did too. The woman who he kicks in that infamous interview was his most significant other. She was taking care of him and positioning herself as an invaluable support, meanwhile she was just doing whatever she wanted because she knew how to manipulate him.
He kicked her on film during an argument because she was routinely going out at night without him, smirking about it. She ended up being the curator of his estate.
>>
>>24954705
there is something very respectable about a man who is fully aware of themselves, and stands by it, even if they're massive cunts. No excuses, and no pretending otherwise.

it's also why people like villains.
>>
>>24955386
That reminds me, a lot of bukowski quotes and excerpts made the rounds on Tumblr back in the day. I think that introduced a lot of young women to him.

Cynicism is refreshing sometimes o algo.

>Women seem to bitch endlessly
Women bitch endlessly about everything, it doesn't mean anything.
>>
>>24955976
And this post will still be excluded from evidence when she gets him put away for 4-7 on an imagined domestic when she finds a new nigga but can't handle the idea of breaking up with him or him living happily without her mentally ill ass fr fr.
>>
>>24955995
Shut the fuck up, nigger.
>>
>>24954708
But you’re a peach, right?
>>
>>24956094
lol

>>24955393
That's what makes him likeable. He was upfront and honest about who he was. He was a drunk pervert that found comfort in writing and he never tried to pretend that he was anything other than that.
>>
>>24955970
Men have one joke and it sucks
>>
>>24954705
It was just a bunch of yuppies vicariously slumming it
>>
>>24956381
>Men have one joke and it sucks
Tits or GTFO
>>
>>24954742
No they don't. It's a fantasy, and fantasies are make believe worlds where somehow your kinks work. If women liked being abused, the shithole countries where they get segregated and mutilated since birth would be utopias.
>>
>>24956413
Men have 2 jokes and they suck

>>24954705
It means he's a plant, you moron

People love a cunt. See doctor house
