Who's his literary equivalent?
>>25458822>loves democrats>hates Trump>degen >writes scenes involving kids fucking Yeah, I'm thinking it's time to release the King files!
>>25458822De Sade obviously
>>25458842What did De Sade do that's even comparable to Epstein? De Sade wrote some books and got thrown into a mental hospital, Epstein was a man of internation renown who, even after being caught pissing on a 13 year old, still lived a life of luxury and debauchery. They are not the same.
>>25458822My nigga Arkady Svidrigailov.
>>25458850The dude had multiple cases in which he beat women badly, had sex with underage (by the standards of his time, not modern day) women, etc.
Lautremont
>>25458850Anon, De Sade actually did some of the stuff he wrote about, not as extreme of course but he absolutely did rape, assault, and imprison women and children. I agree it’s not to the scale of Epstein but de Sade was a piece of shit too
>>25458822As a character or a writer?Probably De Sade or his characters either way
If we're talking about characters then it has to be James Bond:>rapes women around the world>works for an intelligence agency>has aura
>>25458822Allen Ginsberg was a certified diddy ahh epstein blud
>>25458982Also a Jew so there’s another connection
>>25458822Tommy Pinecone
>>25458842>>25458965>>25458967 Oh look, it's a thread for normalfags who haven't actually read any Marquis de Sade
>>25458857only good answer>pedophile>influential>rich>sociopathic>blackmailer>made underage girls commit suicide
>>25458822Gordon Lish
>>25459140explain to the folks at home how the behavior of someone like epstein isnt aligned with de sades moral writings
>>25458822Lewis Carroll
>>25459376 this is also a good answer
>>25458822Edith Cadivec was a female Epstein who wrote about her real life crimes in the 1920s and her books were even translated into English, but no one has ever read them except me
>>25458857keyed
>>25459140i would think someone who is aware of de sade's multiple legal run-ins over locking up women and torturing them would be more familiar with him than most, no? de sade is the normalfag answer because there are more immediate parallels of kiddy-diddling than going directly to the source of "sadism".
>>25460172never heard of it, looks interesting
>>25460172>When arrested, she was found in possession of a large collection of birches, whips, canes, and erotic pictures. One of the whips had a silver knob with the engraving, Dominatrix. Also revealed were compromising letters to a painter in Innsbruck which enlarged on her interests in erotic sadism. The testimony of the trial indicates that Cadivec not only flogged the children under her care, but also indulged in sex acts with them and invited paying guests to watch.Obviously paedophillia and sexual abuse is wrong, no matter how you cut it, but how comes it's so unaesthetic in the 21st century as to the 20th and 19th?
>>25458822some jew
>>25458850Btw, Sade ended his days relatively comfily, at the Charenton asylum, fat as fuck, putting on plays for the fellow inmates, and with an employee's teenage daughter as his mistress.
>>25458822Satan?
normies who get their news from instagram still think epstein was le scary boogeyman who sacrificed virgins on altars. he hired prostitutes. that's it. his equivalent is philip roth. just a horny jewish boomer.
