How do we make literature masculine-coded again?
>>25279217actually poetry is the real masculine literature
Making circle jerk go nowhere threads is a good start.
>>25279217Set an example by being someone that's masculine that also reads literature. Most people posting on this board don't meet that criteria.
>>25279226>that criteriaOpinion discarded.
>>25279217You wish Middlemarch was only 300 pages.
>>25279217Why did you post such shitty books written by men. The foid books here are better
>>25279217The Castle of Otranto is not particularly good and is only remembered for being the first example of Gothic literature. Ann Radcliffe, a woman, was by far the superior Gothic writer, which anybody living during the height of the genre would quickly concede. Wuthering Heights is also a much better book overall and more deftly captures the Gothic sentiment.
>>25279217>gossip and small talk are…LE BADMidwit take. Small talk is social lubricant. Gossip is only bad when it is based on slander
>>25279578>Wuthering Heights is also a much better book overall and more deftly captures the Gothic sentiment.Wuthering Heights isn't Gothic. It was published almost thirty years after the Gothic Golden age ended. >Ann Radcliffe, a woman, was by far the superior Gothic writer, which anybody living during the height of the genre would quickly concede.But Radcliffe was the exception to the female authors of sentimentality that were most common in the 18th century (even if sentimentality creeps into her works)
>>25279217wuthering heights is good tho
>>25279217Stop teaching females how to read.
>>25279611>Small talk is social lubricant. Gossip is only bad when it is based on slanderhow does that relate to it being engaging in book form?
>"Small talk bad, adventure good" anon again"One can travel this world and see nothing. To achieve understanding, it is necessary not to see many things, but to look hard at what you do see." - Giorgio Morandi
By promoting homosexuality, unironically
>>25279217simps are created by the threat that your kids are going to be kidnapped and instead of you being able to raise them theyre deliberately turned into eunuchs and whores while youre called a loser and abusive and enslaved. the average man would rather be a simp and worship the birthing skank and pray for a lick of pussy or foot once a year. meanwhile iranians can spend a large fraction of gdp on building bunkers and sell drones to russia
Today the only way to motivate men into reading anything, whether or not it's literature, is to convince them that it'll have practical benefitsI don't think there's any hope
>>25279240Retard
>>25279217All of the girl books you listed mog Ivanhoe, it's not even close
>>25280964Hope she sees this bro
>>25279217The books in that chart written by men are mostly for teens/YA, the books written by women are mostly written for adults. What is this chart supposed to demonstrate?
>>25279217Holy manchild. Go back to anime, video games, and porn.
>>25281495it demonstrates that Anglo literature is mostly garbage
>>25281504>it demonstrates that Anglo literature is mostly garbage
>>25279614WH has all the classic characteristics of Gothic literature though. I don't see why it wouldn't be considered such for simply falling outside a specific time span. Even so, there are plenty of female writers in Gothic inspired literature which demonstrates the silliness of the image in associating horror with men.
>>25279217>masculine-codedStart by not using twitter nu-speak. You could have just said "masculine", you used more words for no reason and it just resulted in sounding gay.>>25279562This

>>25281624It doesn'tIt's not set in the "Gothic ages" (prior to the enlightenment, usually medieval or renaissance) and does not have any connection to those ages IE ruined churches and castles which Gothic Works contemporary to the time they were written still featured.It isn't anti catholic.>I don't see why it wouldn't be considered such for simply falling outside a specific time spanYou can't capture Gothic sentiment with a book written almost 50 years after the Gothic Golden age ended. It's like saying Blade Runner captures Noir sentiment. It's a work that derives some inspiration from Gothic Literature. It isn't a core Gothic work. It is far removed from the big four of Gothic literature, those being Otranto, Mysteries of Udolpho, The Monk and Melmoth the Wanderer.
>masculine-coded
middlemarch is one of the best books i've ever read

>>25279217It never was?It has always been a hobby for upper-class sissies who had too much free time and who lived vicariously through those works because the real world was too "savage" for them. The Quixote literally lampoons that.
>>25282555>It has always been a hobby for upper-class sissies who had too much free time and who lived vicariously through those works because the real world was too "savage" for them. The Quixote literally lampoons that.No it wasn't you retard. Lower class people frequently indulged in literature even going back to the 16th century.
>>25282465I want to aggressively throw my balls in their mouths and listen to the wet sucking pop of my teabagging.
>>25279217Literature has always been a female oriented hobby
>>25282565Ah yes, the people who couldn't read nor could afford books were keen readers.
