Just found out one of the most celebrated authors in Germany is a paedophile. He has a large following today & his descendants still reside in central Europe. Any other examples of this?
>>25227605>almost every book was about gay pedophiliaIt's amazing how nobody was ever able to put two and two together back in the day. They just didn't think this stuff existed. Now we suspect literally everyone of it.
>>25227605George, Hofmannsthal, the list goes on
>>25227605Honestly if your favorite authors don't each have at least one sex-related scandal or other form of awkwardness about sex like publicly known fetishes, you're probably a casual.
>>25227605>he JUST learned that Thomas Mann is a pederastI don't see how you could know who Mann is and not know that he is a pederast
>>25227605unlike the french literati he didn't actually practice his paedophilia...
>>25227678Prove he didnt
>>25227616Yeah right now America especially is having a big pedophile crisis. Everyone's talking about it
It's funny coz his wife was super cool with it. Even today if you look up Thomas Mann and go to the first reddit thread that shows up the top comment is a woman calling herself a huge fan. Where are these people today??
Isn't it kind of strange how being a P-word and a communist fellow traveller are far more acceptable things to be for an author than it is to be even slightly chuddy in politics? Libs genuinely, unironically consider Mann to be the moral standard against whom all other authors are ought to be measured, but woe be to any author if they ever had any doubts about plutocracy, communism or god's chosen...
>>25227605Why do bongs insist on putting letters where none are needed? It's "pedophile" the extra a is completely unneeded.You fucking pedo.
>>25227703There are plenty of racist authors that people love what are you talking about lol. Even libs enjoy Lovecraft (because white liberals do not want to live around black people) and redditors hate Nabokov & Cormac for being pervs coz it doesn't fit their moral framework.If you think being a P-word is more acceptable than being anti-communist or anti-semitic then you have been fed a narrative that does not exist outside your bubble
>>25227682That's impossible. Prove (You) didn't
>>25227703One fucks kids occasionally. The other worships ideologies that started a global war that slaughtered 60-80 million people.
>>25227678Yea sure. And his sons being gay is just a coincidence.
>>25227605He was an aesthete first and foremost. That times equivalent of a lolicon. Actual pedos like Gide and Wilde were pretty brazen about it at the time.
>>25227605I bet this makes you excited
>>25227715>French "person" engages in whataboutism
>>25227726I thought it was disgusting at first actually
Being a PDF is the one thing I cannot get over with authors. I can get over them being ideologically retarded or abusive as people or even if they are gay due to my infinite magnanimity. But I could never read Gide, Wilde or Mann without constantly being internally reminded what they lusted over. Thankfully the unironic PDFs are mostly second rate, like Wilde, or better known for being scandalous than for being good, like Gide.
>>25227727>Ummm... 60 to 80 million corpses are more preferable than ONE fucked sixteen year old actually!This is what you sound like. You fucking LOON.
>ITT: Butthurt losers who were molested as kidsGet over it.
I read L'Immoraliste expecting something like death in venice but I didn't get thatL'Immoraliste was a very strange novel honestly
>>25227715Most of those deaths improved the world.
I think im ganna make this my new druk shitpost board. U niggas aight.
>>25227748Edgy
>>25227709>There are plenty of racist authors that people love what are you talking about lol.Not contemporary ones. People will excuse old authors for it, begrudgingly. But today being a racist is way worse than being a pedo. >>25227715And about 1 in 5 humanities professors are literal Marxists.
>REEEEEEEE, MARXISTS!! REEEE!!!So fucking what? Don't go to college, retard.
>>25227763Marxism attracts smart people because it's the right position to hold. Both logically and ethically speaking
>>25227709If you asked a 100 libs who kinda sorta read who they prefer between Ginsberg and Pound, the former is surely going to get a lot more thumbs ups from them than Pound ever will. But I also doubt that Eliot could win in the same matchup if you wanted someone a bit less ideologically abrasive to liberal sensibilities.
>>25227781Marxism attracts more smart people because it's a self-critical orientation within liberalism. It's essentially western-style legalism for the American world empire.
Stop being a directionbrained retard.
>>25227793NTA but no.
>>25227605Turning, Foucalt, Sartre and his Wife all come to mind.
>>25227740I didn't exactly disagree with you but just because someone likes dictators its none of your business, either.
>>25227734So? I dated a 15 year old when I was 20. I was young looking too so no one seemed to notice either.
>>25227790Not really, it attracts smart autists because it's an excellent justification for intellectual masturbation which certain kinds of people just like doing regardless of utility. In that way it's isomorphic (and highly complementary) to mtf transexuality.
>Umm.. I like dictators ackchually Yeah, that's clearly not the ONLY kind of "dic" you love, FAGGOT.
>>25227763And how many professors are secret Fascists?>>25227781Intelligence correlates with lower reproductive success. Its a good thing Marxism will disappear within the next three generations.
>>25227860I guess mine is good enough for you. Now pull down your pants and grab your ankles.
>>25227866>Doubles down on faggotryYou NatSoc sissies are all closeted, lmao.
>>25227869I'm more of a man that you'll ever be. You also probably don't have a father, either. Your mom still available?
>Starts projecting his personal insecurities and shortcomings onto meClassic.
>>25227857>excellent justification for intellectual masturbationthat has no explanatory power whatsoever. why would these people not file into the theology department if that were the case? Marxism is an integral part in the justification of elite institutions and culture. Again these people have a lot in common with factions of Chines eunuchs (mtf transsexuality avant le lettre if you will)
>>25227876Your participation in this board is unwanted and terrible
>>25227885That's nice
>>25227888Zesty lil' faggot bootlicker.
>>25227909You are completely terrible too, btwWhy is every other comment on here an insult? Do you guys realize how much that shits up the place? It's completely pointless, it's not funny.
>>25227918Boo-hoo, bitch nigga.
>>25227851low-key funniest post itt
>>25227909Okay.
>>25227709Nah what he said fits what I've experienced. So long as there's not really obvious horrible abuse leftists tend to not care.
>>25227851Oh yeah I forgot abt them lol
>>25227605Hate to tell you OP but the ancient Greeks were all gay kid diddlers too.
>>25228027Yeah and there were homo pederasts in African, asiatic, & islamic cultures as well
>>25228027not even remotely true, it was explicitly uncommon and often condemned despite modern scholars twisting things for political usesPlato shits all over fags and pedos in Laws for example, calls the Cretans foreign and corrupting with their story of Ganymede and homosexuality unnatural
>>25227738>PDFUse paedophile you fucking wuss. Is gen alpha even old enough to use this website?
any of you lads read Mephisto by his son?
>>252276783 out of 6 of his children were gay. he practiced it alright
>>25227690>Where are these people today??fujoshis have a thriving community
>>25228237How anyone can say this when Plato wrote The Symposium is simply astounding. How retarded and clueless do you need to be, anon?They were pederasts, and it was commom back then, and they loved it.Stop revising history just because your hero isn't what you thought. That's so childish and makes you stupider.
>>25227734>at first
>>25227856What does this have to do with the thread? 15 is not paedophilia.
>>25228713He was gay himself and had to think of young bois when he fucked his wife. It's simply genetic
>>25227605You have to be a pedophile to be a great author.
>>25228721>simply geneticYou're telling me that a repressed gay pedophile with a fujoshi wife had easy access to three young German boys, one of which he was literally in love with, and he made NO moves on any of them? Anon please
I made a thread about this like 2 years ago after finding out more about him. The shit he used to write about his own son and daughter was completely fucked. Still, today, somehow Nabokov gets the peado accusations while this fucker was flaunting it.
Because he showed affection towards some Polish shota?
>>25228237In the same book he says that this is so common that outright banning it would have no affect,
>>25228795Damn I really hope they seize your hard drive.
>>25228797Because they're in Crete
>>25228716>claims to have read Symposium>thinks it overarching theme is pro-gay and not radically heterosexual>what is Diotima's speech>why does Alcibiades complain>why does Socrates give up on Alcibiades from here on out
>>25227637I justify my gooning habits through the lens of following my literary idols in their footsteps. Gives my goonseshes an intellectual air about them.
>>25228748>somehow Nabokov gets the peado accusations while this fucker was flaunting it.Low iq induviduals cannot seperate author from fiction
>>25228748What did he write?
>>25228887He said they were sexy in his diary
>>25227637The fact that Joyce was a braphog repulses me from his work.
