How much does an author's physical appearance impact the reception of his work?
it doesnt really matter, there are plenty of "ugly" wrtiters
>>25321132not at all. it's always in one eye and out the other for me, if I didn't see this again doubt I could even tell you what he looked like, even though I saw the video through and through when it came out
>>25321132Being ugly is one thing but why would you humiliate yourself wearing a shirt like that on camera?
>>25321194I've had shirts like that but then again the opinions of others are beneath me.
>>25321132Easier way to get published is to have sex with someone working in publishing house. Most of people working in publishing are dumb white bitches.
>>25321132>sub5 still unironically attempting to participate in society what a fucking retard. why would you ever face reveal looking like this?
>>25321132It doesn't if you don't reveal it lol
>>25321132Considering that the book industry is carried by women, I'd say 100% important.
good to know I should face reveal at the start of my youtube channel and not after I reach a significative amount of subs, thanks
>>25321132Not that much, most novels have a headshot of the author near the backMaybe it matters more if your target audience is women who call people "chopped", but picrel is one of the bestselling authors of the new millennium
>>25321241So the solution is to get rid of women...interesting.
>>25321194I'm don't know which is more disgusting: the message on the short or the neckline
>>25321132Honestly if he wore a black turtleneck and found good pair of glasses he would look much better. Looks like an redditor in this tshirt.
>>25321401He needs to work out.
>>25321132And then, for no reason at all, they started hating women
>>25321559>women call ugly moid ugly>Why are women so detestable?
>>25321194reddit humor is one bizarre humiliation ritual
>>25321559It's a ragebait shooped image, someone did the detective work.
>>25321599Don't care. It smacks of truth and that's all that matters.
>>25321599Actually snopes debunked that
>>25321604You're retarded.
>>25321599in this way fiction can be more true than fact. even if none of the women watching the video wrote comments like that, many of them were thinking it.
Dude is incredibly ugly
>>25321132it affects most things, even if it shouldnt.
>>25321644Its the shirt
>>25321650No.
Aesthetics are the single most important value. I don't consume art made by ugly people because their ugliness inevitably taints the art.
>>25321653Most average looking man alive. Not ugly.
>>25321662>implying the average moid isn't ugly
>>25321653Yes. Its the 'Sorry ladies, This guy has a botched circumsion', a painfully unfunny millenial self-effacing 'humour'. And basic grooming. Other than that, hes pretty average.
>>25321667The average foid isn't exactly an oil painting herself
>>25321667>moidThere's too many of you, go back. Fuck, this is a tranny board now.Its over.
>>25321670they are oil painting themselves daily however
>this guy is averageI would hate to see what you look like if you think this is average kek
>>25321671go back to where?
In normal cases no one gives a crap about the writer. I don't know the author's face for 80% of the books I've read. Most of the time, when I do end up looking it up, they resemble an old raisin.But if you decide to advertise your book with a heavily anticipated face reveal, then appearance becomes important
>>25321132He’s cute. Why are women so fucking evil?
>>25321706To the disco ball.
>This bait thread again.Go fuck yourself you ragebaiting subhuman negroid.Reminder that in a previous thread with this exact OP picture, someone found one of the comments made by one of those women, and it was an perfectly normal comment not even speaking of his apperance, OP literally edited some random woman's comment into something his schizophrenic mind made up.Fuck off with your demoralization tactics Schlomo Goldstein and you incel/blackpill retards who keep falling for the same bait threads over and over again should also end your miserable existences, this isn't the "Woman Hating" board. It's the fucking Literature board, stop masturbating to Pornography you brainwashed fucking morons.
Going by purely contemporary/recent examples:>Houellebecq and Zizek are super gross ugly bastard tier fat fucks>R.L Stein or whoever the goosebumps guy is looks like a living caricature of an ugly jew>Mccarthy was a fat and hairy boomer>Pynchon is not even that bad compared to the rest>DFW looks like he would browse this board>George R.R Martin is another old gross fat fuck >Murakami and Ishiguro are fruity looking middle aged japanese man>Brandon Sanderson is a fat chud looking wobbly fuck>Stephen King>Neil Gaiman walked around like a messy untrimmed schizo all his life up until the butter rapeningIf anything it's probably harder to get pushed as an extremely unattractive female author (someone like Flannery O Connor or Simone Weil), because if you take out chinks you hardly see those around due to agent/publisher sex circles. Even the ones I see shilled on this board like Honor or Chelosky arent anywhere close to being gross and spend half their time marketing their body. All the prominent male writers of our time are ugly as sin compared to the romantics for exampleShooped photo by the way
>>25321132>cherrypick nine negative comments among thousands of positive ones>Wa La! Outrage time!kys
>>25321817They're fake
>>25321806No one cares. It still hits.
>>25321813> "extremely unattractive"> Simone Weil Anon por favor, she's a waifu of choice
>>25321806Just because it's not real doesn't mean that it's not true
>>25321806In my imagination, it was real.
>>25321806>Evola argued that the fabricated antisemitic text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion—whether or not a forgery—accurately reflect the conditions of modernity.[85]
>>25321813zizek isnt bad looking at all he's just out of shape and old, houllebeq is hideous, always has been
you have to give the guy his due his tshirt has made him very repostable wouldn't be the same without it
i wanna read evola but only virgins and neckbeards seem to shill him. oh well.
>>25321194its called lampshading
>>25321904>genderbent John Lennon
>>25321813zizek is the epidome of the fat old ugly bastard and i would be surprised if he didn't have a harem. also he is based even though most of the time i have no idea what he is even talking about
>>25321194Hes a legend for being brazenly confident to wear such a unhinged statement on his shirt publicly whether ironically or unironically
>>25322505>Hes a legend for looking like a retard
>>25321653He's actually very pretty but a total architectural case. >>25321401 this alone would do wonders. but he needs to >>25321425 gain some damn mass and some suntan, grow hair out, cut beard. but i can't stress enough that literally just the same shirt without the words on it, neckline and all, would change everything, much less an actual nice outfit. but maybe he's happy and comfortable looking this way. considering his book is called still lost makes me doubt it
>>25322532
>>25321813>>Stephen KingKek
>>25322505Only if he pulls it off. Which he apparently doesn't
>>25321132He looks good, though?
>>25322544he's ugly lol2026 and broNs thinking anyone but chad has a shot
>>25321675average is 64% of the population you mongoloid. you definitely are in the same range as him, just statistically
>>25323065you need to go back
>>25321806its still true, he is an ugly subhuman>>25321132women hate short ugly men more than rapists and serial killers LMAOgeeeegPIC related had young fresh dripping pussy for me lMAO
>>25323642i don't i was here before you
>>25322339He had multiple wives and still is seen with multiple partners. The very one in the picture I posted was a hispanic model
>>25321194he is fighting back against male genital mutilationhe is a hero
>>25321778Never trust anything that bleeds for seven days and doesn't die
>>25323650Good thing I don't care about consent
>>25321806Okay then make rape legal.
>>25321132A lot. Like in every industry. Nobody cares much once a book sells wells and/or received good critiques. Until then, your face can make a difference. Being pretty is the easiest way to get some attention, in any industry.
>>25321132the dead stare and botched circumcision shirt makes up for his subpar morphology.
>>25323885neither do women if the man is tall and attractive, women are fine getting rayped by chad
>>25323882>i don't read
>>25321132There’s that episode of entourage where johnny drama like went to the apple store genius bar for new headshots and that proved like not to be a bad choice at all like pick a book jacket photo that is subtle yet strongk or something like that
Would you take this man seriously? I cannot.
>>25321653He doesn’t look bad at all. Women are retarded. They’ll take the overall “vibe” of a man and determine whether he’s an ick or hot. Literally the last person you should ask on what women find attractive are women
>>25321132Look up the story of Truman Capote's publicity photo
>>25324721What is wrong? Beautiful fantasy charicator. It is as wood elf. He writest the fantasies of the forest no?
>>25321132This ruined my night. I really have no chance in getting married.
>>25321813>R.L Stein or whoever the goosebumps guy isThat's R. L. Stein, yeah.
Their beauty is confined to their words anon kek
>>25321132D'Annunzio was famous for being a little goblin, but he did have a beautiful speaking voice which enabled him to bed hundreds of women as a literary celebrity and ruler of a small state based on orgies and ethnic cleansing.
>>25325609this got ain't got that
>>25321132I need all men here to understand that if your beard doesn't fully connect to your mustache, it looks disgusting to women.
>>25321132>pube beard and narrow shouldersJust shave and practice better posture. People are way too obsessed with facial hair.>>25321968Evola works backward from the premise of Catholocism instead of building a philosophy from thr ground up. He's little better than Dostoyevsky.
that guy looks like shit but he's low inhib and attention seeking enough to prolifically post to social media, so he probably has some sort of mid gf.
>>25321194redditors believe self-deprecation is brave, but it's just unattractive.
>>25324742>He doesn’t look bad at all.He looks dysgenic and malnourished.
bump
>>25321653I think he looks good. Yes homo though!!
>>25321706to /cgl/, of course, dumb hole
