>Oscar Wilde: "no he was ugly"

Seriously, why? This literally cost him his freedom. Was he just retarded?

His mistake was living in a Protestant nation. If he'd moved to France he would have had all the young boys he could ask for.

He chose not to flee to France, when people advised him to do so

Because he was a pedophile faggot that couldn't control himself, you see it with lolicon freaks on here: They can't help but brag about how degenerate they are. It's like serial killers going back to the scene of the crime I guess.

Yes, you guys have cherry picked lots of examples to show that the right wing is gay.
Forever subverting and lying, you come on here to constantly tell us what our beliefs really are.
In reality, monarchy is the most right wing and common form of government, and Christian monarchies were not friendly towards gay. Next to that, fascism was a left wing movement, as shown by the broad overlap with socialism and socialists.

Like many aberrant people he felt compelled to express his inner nature.

He spent the whole trial mocking the prosecution, so because he was on a roll, he didn’t think what the implications of this joke would be, thus leading to this slip up.

Was Wilde the beginning of this trend where people like an author not because they are particularly profound or beautiful but because they have a provocative public persona that makes some people interested in their writings?

Any recommended books or biographies on the trial or Oscar Wilde and his proclivities? I’m quite interested
