It seems like the only books that sell nowadays are goonslop for women. My ex gf read nothing but goonslop. My sister-in-law reads nothing but goonslop. My coworker listened to goonslop audiobooks on her bluetooth earbuds. I go into the bookstore and half of it is goonslop it feels like. The only time I see women in the bookstore, they are in the goonslop section. The fantasy section has been overtaken by goonslop, and the sci-fi section, being less suitable for gooning, has shrunk to almost nothing. I wanted to talk to the girl there but I realized her standards are probably so high from reading all about billionaire rapist serial killer werewolf men all day that she would be disgusted by my mere presence. Now I want to write my shitty cyberpunk novel, because for once I have creative furor for a publishable idea, and now it seems utterly pointless unless I make the main character a rapist. It feels like no other books sell besides those anymore. Yes I can write for myself like I always have, but I lost interest in writing stories that only I will ever read, as I get older and my time gets more precious to me, as well as my desire to attempt to leave a legacy on this world. And it sucks that my best chance at leaving a name behind for myself, would be to write goonslop.

I don't know man. My go-to comfort fiction is James Rollins's Sigma Force, which I considered my kind of B-tier guilty pleasure, but after seeing what goonettes did to the book market, I feel like I'm reading high quality literature with that. Women were let into the world of reading and lowered the intellectual standards to their level. I don't know what to do about it. Maybe create some distinction, between the booktokgoonslop crap and books that you can show to a child? I think that culture that starts to generate things that are "for adults only" just so that older people can satisfy their pubescent whims, starts to fall apart eventually. I'm not surprised by things like this since I've witnessed the movie "American Pie" when I was 7. It's just another demoralizing piece of our diseased society.

Riddle me this, OP.
There is a thread up right now on this board, with a self proclaimed woman as the OP, and yet not a single one of you /r9k/ spammers told her the customary YWNBAM, no one insulted her, no one trying to get rid of the cancer that her presence is on /lit/. Why?
Be aware, OP, that you'd rather post your wailing on a board that has nothing to do with it, since everyone here has Harold Bloom's cock firmly lodged in their esophagus, so no one here would read your genre slop, than spit your vitriol directly in the face of the one who caused your sorrow.
Incels trully fear women, the untermensch of the human race. You are doing their bidding, OP: a threat died for your made up story, while the woman's thread is still up. You are a simp, OP, poking at the corpse of /lit/ because the holes poked you first.

lol /lit/ is 95% genreslop plebs. You live in delusion.

Those are bots sitting in their generals. It's the same for pop slop on /mu/.
Real people here pretend to like the Western Canon. Have you not seen the /lit/'s Top 100 books thread?

What am I supposed to do? Fine I'll find her thread and go insult her. It doesn't actually hurt me that women read goonslop, because without it, the market for fiction would be even smaller. It did suck that my ex said she was into reading and then I found out it wasl all romantasy so we couldn't even discuss it.

I didn't read any of them. I don't know what happens. All I know is it makes women expect to be dating these hyper dominant volatile rapists and I cannot do that.
>>
>>25006896
I want to as well but it's just hard because now I'm at this age where I want people to remember me so it's hard to write something no one will read besides me. But I agree man I agre.

I love flailing women and cutting women and seeing their inner beauty like every normal man, but you're taking the hate too far.
Women are beautiful. The lining of their throbbing red muscles is beautiful.
Instead of hating a woman, you should invite her in your home and the, after a sedate dinner, explore her inwardly.

Anon read too many thrillers where the evil guy talks about his cravings after getting caught, so now he speaks only in expository dialogue.

See, now you are backtracking.
This is actually very good, because it means that you are getting deprogrammed.
It seems you are trying to fit in with incels, by posting a trashy thread about muh goonslop that you yourself haven't thought out very well. Are you seriously doing that? Why would you wanna fit in with those retards?
I presented you what the logical conclusion of being an incel is, and you rejected it, because you are not a full blown incel cultist (yet).
Now it's up to you, either double down and keep shouting to the four winds how muh women ruined your life, or maybe, just maybe, have some curiosity and try to understand women for once. Read some slop from them, join a book club and talk to them, maybe check picrel. It would only elevate your cyberpunk novel, no? If women are the main consumer of contemporary literature, maybe learning a thing or two about them is the secret and not whatever you are picturing when you say "goonslop".

The book i want to write isn't feminist at all, it's about a guy being obsessed with a manic pixie dream girl and realizing too late what a fuckin retard he is.
>>
>>25006702
>Should I write what I want to even though the majority of people who have no care or sentiment for art won't appreciate it?
You don't deserve to be an artist if that thought alone is enough to discourage you.

How many people among the billions that exist now and have done in the last two centuries have read and appreciated Tolstoy and Milton and Zola? A veritable handful, does that mean they should never have written?
Go write your slop, everyone else is doing it anyway.
