>Oh my god! He's the most evil character ever!>You can't possibly imagine how evil he is!>No one could ever be as evil as him in real life>Literally the average activities of an American during westward expansion
>>25085925Ah yes, the classic American cowboy. A man with seeming omniscience and omnipresence - your average seven foot tall, hairless, albino with a penchant for prepubescent rape. A regular John Wayne.
>>25085933>with a penchant for prepubescent rapeit happens once in the story and yeah, most men in the wild west were probably pedophiles because moids are scum like that
>white people when they encounter seasoned food for the first time
>>25085936>it happens once in the storyIt never "happens", and is generally implied to have occurred multiple times along with murder. Do you think child rapists are one-and-done criminals?
>evil>hes a ubermench with a well thought ideology and hes willing to back it up with theory and praxis what did mccarthy mean by this?
>>25085936Can you crash out on another website? Most people have read Blood Meridian and the discussion around it is beyond dead. Read another book.
>>25085966Most people who're discussing Blood Meridian haven't read it. They're just discussing the Wendigoon video on it. Including me, except I haven't watched the video either.Is the book good?
i was confused by the endingI read the scene of, the kid not being able to get an erection with the whore as Mccarthy saying, that the judge's domination had gone so far that he had sissified the kid.did the kid willingly walk into the shitter to get raped to death by holden because he had already been completely dominated, mind and spirit by him?
>>25085936
Only partially related but it's ghastly how a single youtube video can ruin discussion of a beloved classic for the rest of eternity.
>>25085956>porn addicted weeb
>>25085941>and is generally implied to have occurred multiple timesIt is implied exactly once in the story.
How can a book with such a powerful aura become a meme?
>>25085925>Literally the average activities of an American during westward expansionis mccarthy making this point on purpose? maybe he's saying that on purpose? No that would be cringe and reddit sorry to even bring it up sorry sorry sorry the judge is heckin based and 4chan
>>25086164Various children go missing throughout the book, vaguely implying the Judge raped and murdered many. Do you think child rapists are one-and-done criminals?Have your (you), and learn to read critically, fucking retard.
>>25085925Ok niggers, Im halfway through it and I dont really see why this goddamned book is so revered. Sure, its probably one of the few works of fiction that uses the Wild West as a setting to create some sort of mythos, but its comicbook tier violent, and its prose is one of the worst I have ever seen. Was it because of the nigger word? >but muh nautural inclination to violence as a speciesIm pretty sure there endless works of fiction that are about violence. This is nothing new or profound.
>>25085925>Literally the average activities of japs during imperial expansion FIFY
>>25086422agreed, picrel will be of use to you
>>25085974>>25086102If you weren't done with Blood Meridian well before the Wendigoon video you're a newfag.Where do you think he heard about it? He used to acknowledge reading 4chan and /lit/ was fucking obsessed with the Judge in that era.
>>25086422If you're halfway though and this is your opinion, you can stop reading.
>>25085936You will never be a woman
>>25086857Why? Its ultra violence its entertaining enough to keep me invested. I just cant see the "genius" of it
>>25087353Sounds like it's your first time reading a book for adults. Try reading it again in a couple of years when you understand what art is.
>>25086114>no argument>projection, even
>>25085987I didn't catch the ED with hooker, I read it as they fucked and she was like ok beat it guy, since she is a whore. Ive heard other ppl say that tho so I'll reread it.I read the jakes part as he found the missing bear girl and raped and or killed her. The judge jumping out and embracing him being a metaphor for him giving in to the judges philosophy
>>25086563The dust devil stuff was kino tho
>>25085941>Do you think child rapists are one-and-done criminals?They actually have exceptionally low recidivism rates.
>>25086422It's not a very good book. It's got a stylistic gimmick that makes midwits feel clever, and it has vague gestures at a philosophy that might feel impressive if you've never thought about philosophy and know absolutely nothing about the world, but ultimately it's just capeshit for people that can read. It's the kind of book that would be very interesting to a precocious adolescent, which is presumably why it's so popular with slackjawed American monoglots.
>>25085936>moidsthis word will NEVER have the same effect as foids. everytime you use the word, you out yourself
>>25087802If you haven't noticed there's one overactive tranny autist on the board who samefags all day. He's on a crusade. He'll probably go on a shooting spree soon.
>>25087709How about you stop being a pretentious cunt and try to convince me that there is a spark of genius in this book? I have read some violent books that come with a better critique of things. So far, American Psycho is my favourite violent book, and Notice is probably the worst, because it devolves into a woman's dark sexual fantasies and loses its grip to realism. And no, Im not gonna waste 5 hours to watch a sloptuber speaking about Blood Meridian.If I had to equate Blood Meridian with another gory book I have read, that would be Neuromancer. Both have a very stylistic background, both feature human fuck ups, they also share the same(but different) headache inducing prose and boast the same cartoonish violence, and finally, they both try to be le deeper than they look, but they dont quite achieve that.Blood Meridian is a good read in the end of day, but I think I liked Sunset Limited more from McCarthy
>>25087776>recidivismThat only measures the ones being caught, multiple times, and even then it’s up to 25%. I mention reoffense in reference to Judge Holden because he didn’t just dabble in anything he did. He was a maniac. Multiple children go missing throughout the story.
>>25085936Careful, you'll anger the e/pol/stein tourist pedos
>>25087989You sound like a midwit in hard denial that you can't make heads or tails of a book you can't probe beyond the surface.
>>25088029You sound like you havent read the book at all, though. You you probably read a summary of it, saw some youtubers/critics dickriding it, came up to the conclusion that blood meridian is high art. Get outta here, you are convincing nobody
>>25088110Why are you projecting so hard? Is it that hard to accept that you aren't as smart as you thought you were?
>>25088117Never said I was smart; I just wanted someone to explain me why this book is so revered because I cant see it.Judging from your empty insults, you not only havent read Blood Meridian, but you are also a /lit/ tourist whos trying to fit in, so no more (You)s for you
>>25086422>filtered by the most "welcome to /lit/" book besides Endless Funnyngmi
>>25085936>tranny tries to make it about gender and not race
>zoomers try to reading comprehend: the threadthe judge is (he is a walking metaphor) fealty to race and the consequences of "throwing in your lot." toadvine and the kid BETRAYED glanton to "red niggers." that's why they weren't in their beds. they saw it coming, and left glanton and the rest of their crew to die, EVEN THOUGH they benefitted from ethnic cleansing, scalping, just as much as glanton did. and this is the content of the final confrontation between the judge and the kid. mccarthy is such an unbelievably overrated writer. the essence of dicklit
>>25088133You're retarded and chalking up your anti-intellectualism to people who don't validate your stupidity.
>>25088133No one's gonna explain shit to a midwit with an attitude. Just try to be a midwit next time.>>25088161Your ESL ass is no better than the guy above.
>>25088224oh cry about it cullen. maybe tell your daddy that the english language includes punctuation
>>25086422>one of the few works of fiction that uses the Wild West as a setting to create some sort of mythosThis is more your speed if that's your knowledge of fiction
>>25088239rabbits are matriarchal. i hate watership down so, so much
>>25085925What did McCarthy mean by this?
of course it's you, who calls me ESL on /tttt/, who defends cormac of the mediocre prose. all his similes are dogshit. the point of a simile is to refresh the intellect with a novel but concrete comparison. mccarthy does not understand this. every simile in the novel is vague to the point of being a boring turn-off. like, this sentence:>On the following day they crossed the malpais afoot, leading the horses upon a lakebed of lava all cracked and reddish black like a pan of dried blood, threading those badlands of dark amber glass like the remnants of some dim legion scrabbling out of a land accursed, shouldering the little cart over rifts and ledges, the idiot clinging to the bars and calling hoarsely after the sun like some queer unruly god abducted from a race of degeneratesthree similes in this bastardly digression of a sentence, and not one adds anything that wouldn't have been better expressed in straight, untechnical prose. i would fuck this man to death if he weren't already rotting in the ground. same goes for hairy bloomers
ESL melty. Mccarthy requires more than 2 braincells to appreciate, which are 2 more than that you have.
>>25088342>the spic seething about McCarthy again
>>25088342You might be too ESL for that sentence. No amount of sophisticated waffling will cover up your deficiencies. "Muh novel constructs" lol. Novel constructs require intelligent readers.
>>25088397keep crying cullen>>25088406this is exactly why i hate cormac mccarthy. mr. big boy raised in the connecticut prep schools thinks he understands the meaning of violence, or revenge, or racism. and you drooling sycophants lap it up whitely
>>25088416no amount of calling me ESL will get you out of the double digit club. it's no wonder you enjoy boring dross
>>25088422>>25088430Stop seething, spic. Stick to your shitty language instead of embarrassing yourself talking about a writer you can't follow for more than 2 sentences.
>>25088443unfortunately he couldn't even write one worth following
>>25088422>conneticut prep schoolsLmao. Did the ICE rustle your jimmies? Fuck off with this petty bullshit dressed up as midwit criticism. You hate him cuz he is American. That's retarded as fuck. Just fuck off from Mccarthy related threads then if you have nothing intelligent to contribute.
>>25088454you must think i look like a fucking scarecrow. i suppose that's why you love him, "because he's a real american"? and youre calling me a midwit? don't you owe mr. fuentes a blowjob?
>>25088450Says you. An ESL with room temperature IQ. Good luck convincing anyone with a functioning brain.
>>25085925Its intentional, Cormac McCarthy was making a statement about white supremacy and the evils of western imperialism.
>>25088465>nuh-uh!nice comeback fucko. youre, what, 20?
>>25088463I like him because he's a great writer. You don't like him because you're retarded and just don't want to admit it. You are better positioned to suck off some fuentes, so do that. You'll probably be better at that than reading anyway.
>>25088479I like McCarthy because he was woke
>>25088472Learn how to punctuate before you start going around offering your non-sensical analysis on writing.
>>25088479squark squark hairy bloomers says he's great so he must be great squark squark muh canon squark squark the planet anareta squark squark
>>25088488oh. and i'm "petty" for pointing out that cormac actively glorifies violence from a place of never experiencing it
>>25088502You thought he was from Connecticut. You know jackshit about him, lil buddy. Besides, there is something called imagination, and what would a coddled little faggot like you would know about violence to judge its authenticity? Are you 12 or what?You're so mentally deficient that you can't even remember that the subject here wasn't violence to begin with. At this point you're just butthurt because I am styling on you.>>25088491Hairy bloomers are better authorities on writing than retarded ESLs like you.
>>25088524lol sorry i don't know the exact biography of your faggy surrogate father. rhode island is just shittier connecticut, anyway. the rest is just you projecting. this has nothing to do with imagination. it's detestable to see a little white bitch who never suffered in his life glorify scalping. that's all
>>25088550>glorifyYou're an ESL retard who hasn't even read the book, let alone known real violence, who is seething about it like Mccarthy fucked his mami or something. It's clear who the real little bitch is.
>>25088559i actually quoted the book, which is something you have yet to do. like the pedophiles, all you do is lie and project
>>25088564>i copied a much quoted passage from 4chin and now you must believe me!Lol. As if that's hard. It's funny how retarded you are.>pedophilesStop projecting
>>25088571you could have quoted the book yourself in this response, so i must assume you chose not to for the obvious reason. have fun clowning without the benefit of a straight man
>>25088576Are you genuinely retarded? What does quoting a random passage here accomplish? I can easily flip on the e-reader and post something and that does nothing to prove if I have read the book. You're of low intelligence. Not even trying to insult you. That's proof enough against you reading the book.>have fun clowning without the benefit of a straight manCouldn't have made it sound more stilted if you tried.
>>25088591>randomhooooo buddy. if you disagree with my assessment, that mccarthy glorifies violence, maybe you should POST SOMETHING FROM THE FUCKING BOOK THAT CONTRADICTS MY ASSESSMENT. you gibbering letztermensch. i should stop wasting my time on trogs>Couldn't have made it sound more stilted if you triedinquire within shitdick
>>25088596>if you disagree with my assessment, that mccarthy glorifies violenceThere is nothing to disagree. You haven't read the book, or are just massively retarded. Likely both. The violence in the book is repetitive and monotonous and is written to be that way. The stark contrast between the descriptions of violence and the descriptions of the desert makes it immediately obvious to anyone who:1) has read the book2) has functioning braincells>retard doesn't even post a passage that has violence >"IT LE HECKIN GLORIFIES VIOLENCE!!!"The fault is mine for replying to and entertaining a failed abortion of a man like you.
>>25088596Only /v/ posters are this retarded. Are you from there? In the year 2026 you can at least try running your non-sense through chatgpt first if you really wanna pretend so badly.
>>25088612>The stark contrast between the descriptions of violence and the descriptions of the desertyou didn't even read the quote i posted, let alone the book. why are you so insistent on embarassing yourself like this?
>>25088333Checked.Obviously a shoutout to Wendigoon, time travel may be involved.
>>25088619Don't tell me you're so retarded that you can't even distinguish what passages have violence in them? The passage you posted has zero violence in it. You're a serious case of mental deficiency.
>>25088623>like a pan of dried bloodhe's constantly talking about brutality and violence of the sun, as well. the desert is clearly a party to the violence (which is why the judge appears "randomly" on a rock in the middle of the desert). which you would know, if you had read the book
>>25088627I knew this was gonna happen. A book that is known for graphic depictions of violence will be reduced to some le figurative violence in unrelated passages because the retard is now going full waffle mode trying to save face. You didn't even skim read the wiki properly, retard. That's not glorifying violence, if anything it's glorifying the desert landscape by rendering it unreal. The actual violence in the book has barely any similes in its description.This isn't good. Your pretense is so unconvincingly bad that I am regretting wasting my time on someone of such low intelligence that he can't even falseflag properly.The judge appearing on the rock has no relation to violence. You are literally throwing around random facts you skim read on the wiki. You probably don't even know that the Judge "appearing" was narrated by Tobin and there are questions of reliability on his account. This must ever pretense anyone has ever done in a Mccarthy thread.
>>25088627Quit, lil bro. People aren't as retarded as you think they are.>>25088640Lmao yes. This must be the worst facade anyone has put on, and God knows there is no shortage of pretenders in a McCarthy thread.
>>25088640there is no fucking "stark difference" between his descriptions of violence and his descriptions of the desert. youre genuinely going to sit there and tell me he isn't using the same devices to describe the desert as he is to describe violence? "attacked by comanches" is nothing but a glazing of the fabled horde, glanton's fate is nothing but mccarthy's perverse reversal on manifest destiny. it's honestly a disgusting book to read
>>25088640>The actual violence in the book has barely any similes in its descriptionthis, especially, is a straight up lie. "attacked by comanches" is full of similes
>>25088652I am done putting up with your pretense. Your (((analysis))) is built on reading about the book on reddit and wikipedia because you're too much of a beaner to follow its prose. Literally denying one of the most accepted aspects of the book just so you can pretend as if you know what you're talking about. Completely butchered the Judge's appearance on the rock because the reddit post didn't mention Tobin. Just Kys.
>>25088659not everyone uses reddit as much as you do
>>25088657The attacked by the comanches passage is just a description of the horde. There is no violence happening in the passage. Like with everything else your whole impression is built off of second hand sources about the book. So fucking retarded. Now your esl ass will try to contend that the passage mentions "dents done in another country" and pretend that it is the same as graphic descriptions of scalping. You're retarded beyond belief.
>>25088661If you did perhaps you'd be able to pretend better than the embarrassment you have been today.
>>25088662>The attacked by the comanches passage is just a description of the horde. There is no violence happening in the passagelmfafuckingo, now i KNOW you didn't read the book. have fun glazing each other for having the same surrogate daddy, boys. i have done my duty
>>25088652>>25088657>>25088661There is a limit to how much someone can speak out of their ass... this is one of the most popular books on the board. Making up bullshit won't cut it here. Try reddit.
>>25088665It seems you haven't even read that passage even though the whole thing is quoted on wikipedia. Did your mami fuck a retard in a whorehouse and birthed you? Nothing else would explain so many mental defects that you're showing itt.
>>25088667looking at the book quite cursorily rn, i count at least 3 similes in the "attacked by comanches" passage. which is the same number as in the passage i quoted. so, i really don't understand what argument you boys are trying to make, other than that you are all drinking from the same poisoned well
>>25088671>i count at least 3 similes in the "attacked by comanches" passage. which is the same number as in the passage i quoted.And neither passage has any graphic violence which your malnourished brain is struggling to understand. 2+2 is?
Why is it that the critics of this book never seem to have read it?
>>25088672>And neither passage has any graphic violenceyou don't think men being raped while dying is "graphic violence"?>>25088676i'm kinda wondering why none of you mccarthy whiteknights know which part of the book i'm referring to. it's the one with the epigraph that says, "attacked by comanches"
>>25088677The sort of graphic violence that you're in dire need of.
>>25088677It's clear that you're just stringing along shit at this point because you fell face first into it and everybody saw that. Do something better with your life instead of being mad over something you never even read.
>>25088679oh, is that all? your insults are boring like ya daddy's rape scenes, cullen
>>25088681are you a bot? the book should be right there, for you to pick up, and see that i'm right
>>25088683A scene like that was how you was conceived, pardner
>>25088688>mccarthy enjoyers attempt to not think about sodomicial ass babies challenge impossible
>>25088488
>>25088770doubly ironic to crticize someone's punctuation in the literal mccarthy glazing thread
>>25086262Listen to yourself
i fell like the judge has a child like penis and that why he kills everyone he fucks so they cant tell on him.
>>25088232Bad day, bud?
>>25088803actually i've enjoyed hassling you retards. but now my bf is home so you won't be hearing from me again

>>25088815okay now this is epic
>>25088802He is described as a giant baby
>>25088770>>25088779Triply ironic to be an ESL and try criticizing prose. And don't be an hypocrite, you criticized his use of punctuation while not knowing how to use commas
>>25088770>don't know how to punctuate>le spelling mistakeThis is why esls don't improve
>>25089254learn to interpret the general gist of an image or gif, insufferable autismo-ton 3000
>>25085956He's the anti-Messiah, the messenger of something akin to the evil false God in gnostic writings. So where the true God sent Jesus as a humble carpenter to spread love, forgiveness etc, the Messiah of the Demiurge comes as a giant, polyglot ubermensch and spreads the message that might makes right, and so on, because that is what the creator of this material universe intends for it. Not that I think it's really necessary to invoke all of that, it's enough to say that he is just the personification of a cruel universe built in violence and material 'stuff'. But it's interesting that McCarthy seems to like the idea that Men, at least some, can have something like the Divine spark in them, the ability to rebuke all that violence and build something better from it. If I remember correctly he calls it the flame or the fire or something in The Road, and the spark imagery is in the epilogue of Blood Meridian too I think (been awhile since I've read it). And that's all the stuff that The Judge seems to dislike the most, things like economics and law taking the place of pure war and violence. The former he perverts where he can; the latter he disapproves of in the vision The Kid has of him observing the counterfeiter.
