>Conan constantly slapped women on the ass and called them sluts
>he was the single most demanded character by Weird Tales' female readership
what did women mean by this?
>>
modern conan fandom is comprised solely of chuds and homosexuals with breeder artistic sensibilities
>>

Yes, women like men who act manly. Have you never in your life sucked it up and just went for it and done some spontaneously bold manly thing you normally wouldn't? It's quite revelatory

I dont think that's in the original conan novels. Have you read Conan thru comics?

I haven't. I'm pathetic and weak.
>>
>>25287394
>Weird Tales' female readership
Yeah, all six of them.
>>
>>25287503
Women like attractive men (just how men like attractive women ). Yes, ultra-manly "bad boy" characters are very popular with women, but so are soft sensitive "woobie" characters. You'll find that what both archetypes have in common is excellent facial bone structure.
>>
>>25288162
what's stopping you from changing that?
>>
>>25288172
The book I hate illustrates Conan in a kind of innocuous and youthful way. I was very surprised and honestly it makes sense why it's popular with women.

I actually dig the artstyle. I was worried the stories would be some psuedo-masculine performative stuff but the atmosphere was top notch and the characterization was well-done for the short form.

wow anon, telling on himself. never heard of the structure of desire being the object of someone else's desire; chu in Females (2019): everyone is female and everyone hates it. femaleness is desiring what someone else desires for you, being the disposable receptacle of another's desire, thriving as someone else's lustful puppet. the core mechanic of female desire is wanting to be the lurid slut conan slaps around. female desire was never supposed to be progressive. most desires are ugly. most desires are non-consensual. most desires are frankly questionable. a desire that doesn't transgress annihilates what makes desire honest. a woman drew the slap. another woman wants to be slapped by conan. this is the same woman. i'm the same woman (shut up). the slap is the whole machine made alive. anyone calling this false consciousness is selling you a different consciousness. a shitty one.

I don't think this happens even once
>>
>>25288169
What are you talking about? Weird Tales had a large women following.
>>
>>25288283
this sounds like something that would be easy to test with an experiment, but the author is totally against any possibility of invalidation.
>>
>>25287394
There is a lot more to Conan than that, but I'm sure you've read Howard's entire bibliography.
>>
>>25287394
Do you have proof for that statement?
>>
>>25287394
>single most demanded character by Weird Tales' female readership
according to what? I'm genuinely curious
>>
>>25288349
the fact that people are actually discussing this really goes to show that /lit/ doesn't read
>>
>>25289781
personally, i've read all of REH's conan books, and he does call women sluts, but I don't recall him ever slapping them on the ass.

I don't have the citations on hand, and I don't feel like combing through the books to find them.

He slaps the Devi on her ass during "The People of the Black Circle" after she swaps out her royal clothes for the dress of some mountain peasant woman.
>When she stepped from behind the rock he swore in surprise, and she felt a curious rush of emotions at the unrestrained admiration burning in his fierce blue eyes. She felt shame, embarrassment, yet a stimulation of vanity she had never before experienced, and the same naughty tingling she had felt before when meeting the impact of his eyes or the grasp of his arms. He laid a heavy hand on her shoulder and turned her about, staring avidly at her from all angles
>"By Crom!" said he. "In those smoky, mystic robes you were aloof and cold and far-off as a star! Now you are a woman of warm flesh and blood! You went behind that rock as the Devi of Vendhya; you come out as a hill girl - though a thousand times more beautiful than any wench of the Zhaibar! You were a goddess - now you are real
>He spanked her resoundingly, and she, recognizing this as merely another expression of admiration, did not feel particularly outraged.

>>25287394
They meant that they like sex with men
>>25288172
Incel cope. Wah wah im ugly therefore I can't get laid. The words of someone who fails to understand the laws of universal moggification dynamics
>>
>>25287394
Women read Weird Tales?
>>
>>25290025
according to a cursory google search, women made up 25-31% of readers, depending on the year.
