>I look at paintings to feel emotions!>I listen to music to feel emotions!>I read books to feel emotions!Only brainlets do this.
again?
>>25423867why's that? explain your theory, brainman.
Jarvis, identify the book
>>25423873looks like "a little life" which I have not read, but which I have heard is about some homosexual man who gets mistreated or something.
since op couldn't defend his thesis, emotions win by default. reading for emotions is now officially the big brain thing to do.
>>25423875Why faggots write over a 1000 pages about their boring lives?Nigga, your contribution to society was spreading HIV to other homosexuals.
>>25423877Why is dualistic thinking becoming so extreme? Are people getting stupider or did somebody take nuance behind the shed and shoot it when I wasn't looking?
I wish I could convey such emotions while reading.
>>25424106i don't like it either, but it's op's dualism, not mine.i think the problem is that no one reads. so when they try to discuss the value of reading, all they have to hand are abstract cliches like 'books induce emotion', 'books communicate messages', 'books display beautiful prose', etc. no engagement with the gestalt experience of actually reading.
>I feel NO EMOTIONS because I'm a faggot slave that should be shot dead years ago
I cried while reading Ovid on the toilet onceworst part is the window was open so the neighbours could hear
>>25423867The best art does not just evoke strong emotions as if they were thrills, but should intellectual affect you in ways that linger long after that.That being said, if you do not feel emotions at all while experiencing art, or are even actively hostile to feeling them, you are missing out on a crucial aspect of aesthetic experience, and i will consider your opinion on art as inferior and of no importance.
>>25424086> Why faggots write over a 1000 pages about their boring lives?The book is written by a woman. The question is why do women write weird fetish novels about gay men, in this case torture porn, to an audience of other women?
Performative as fuck.
>>25424214>why do women write weird fetish novels about gay menThe short answer is women want to be gay men.
>>25423867>what is suspension of disblief?
>>25424121>>25423867OP, I dare you to feel nothing at seeing this pic
You got btfo'd last thread, better luck this time OP!
>>25423867I cried like this at the end of wizard knight by gene wolfe and I'm 6'3 with a full beard
>>25424754Christian art is a good example of paintings which aren't made in order to elicit emotions but in order to convey an idea symbolically. Nice self-own, dumbass.
>>25424766so? fuck you're all dumb as shit, vapid fucking discussion, the topic is that the idea that the purpose of art is to do with emotion is false and held by brainlets
>>25424770Are you the guy sperging out in the literacy thread too? Turn off the computer, touch grass dude
>>25423867>And in the end, it truly was... a little life;_;
>>25424214>why do womenbecause they're fucking retarded
There are only a few books that made me weep:The Brothers KaramazovThe Lord of the RingsThe Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
Imagine how good life could be if women weren't so fucking retardedThe ONLY book that's ever made me cry was Where the Red Fern GrowsF
>>25424113I feel your mom's penis in my ass
>>25424872So? Fuck you're all dumb.
>>25424872You're that Finnish brainlet aren't you?
>>25424086take it down a notch ESL, the gays aren't gonna get you.
>I go on 4chan to brag about being emotionally castrated and cognitively inferior!
>>25424754is it about good painting or do you feel it is good because it is a painting of Jesus?
>>25424113>avatar>signature jesus oldfag
>>25424770>the purpose of artThe purpose of art can be an endless amount of things, sometimes it's to express an emotion. Perhaps you personally don't like art that deals with emotions, but that doesn't make it not art. That's just your taste.
>>25425303You're all dumb as fuck and can't comprehend what the fucking topic is. Learn to fucking read.
>>25425779Stfu retard
>>25425887what are you looking for here if not a discussion?
>>25425892Fuck off
>>25423867The obvious answer is that you don't seek them out FOR THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF feeling emotions -- and yet good art often makes you feel emotions quite strongly anyhow. At least, if you're a high-IQ civilized person with a sensitive soul, and not some thuggish brute.
>>25425928i agree with you bro! you're SO right! lets jack each other off and think about how right we are and how the entire rest of the board you posted too are PLEBS!
