Can We have a thread about how awful John Green is?

I hate the way he glorifies his worthlessness and melodramatic childishness, I literally cringe and feel sick when I see him.

Bathos Cringe Thread General.

John Green, much like Coehlo, is what you get when you allow romanticist melodrama be expressed without any adherence to form or language. It's what you get when the rabble can read, but are not forced to read well.

Didn't you hear? You don't have to have anything really interesting about your writing style to be good. You don't have to challenge something that the reader might believe. You don't even have to worry about whether or not your writing style particularly awkwardly phrased or excessively ambiguous. Good writing comes from constantly jerking off the reader and telling them that everything is going to be okay.

I'm convinced by the prolificacy of these thread that they are started by fans of his or possibly even his publishers as a clever bait and switch viral marketing contraption.

It doesn't matter to them that its bad publicity, they are working under the assertion that all publicity is good publicity and spam his face and his abstract nonsensical quotes everywhere

Maybe I'm wrong though and maybe there are people here who are stupid to the point that they actually hate Greene and start these threads as an echo chamber not realising that by keeping his face on the front page of /lit/ every waking second of the day that they are, by proxy, doing his marketing work for him.

I probably am wrong, its probably wishful thinking, I am embarrassed to have just scanned this thread but there are people here who read and re-read his books.

>How does someone become this much of an impotent femme?
>>
>>7970279
is his romantic rivals name really "chad"?
>>
>>7971934

Now see, that wouldn't be a bad passage if the character was meant to be what he comes across as: An awkward, sad little teenage boy that doesn't realize that the extent to which he romanticizes and glorifies women is the reason why he has so little success with them. In other words, it wouldn't be a bad passage if it was meant to illustrate the flaws of a character or showcase room for emotional growth.

But because this is John Green, it's just a way to establish how 'quirky' and 'romantic' the character is (because nothing's more romantic to a woman than a cloying little sad sack who thinks he's so unworthy of you that he's afraid to touch you.)

He was saying it is an inevitable and easily observed fact of the modern world that teens will read bad lit and that bad lit will be written for teens. No remarks about shoulds or should-nots other than that you should not be surprised about things that you see all around yourself.

I'm really not. My girlfriend's analytic philosophy major just rubs off sometimes and I feel the need to clarify things. Pointing out that he was not being prescriptivist doesn't mean he shouldn't have been prescriptivist either. I just want you to understand what he was saying and he just wanted you to not be surprised that people are lazy and greedy.

A lot of these quotes aren't particularly bad thoughts or insights it's just that they're not really his own insights. It's all wisdom that's been around for thousands of years, re-told in plenty different forms and things most people realize for themselves as they grow up.

desu senpaitachi, i started writing some shit from the pov of john green. all i've got so far is some pseudo stream of consciousness stuff where he jerks off (metaphorically) about young people liking his work, and cereal, and why his work isn't bad. any ideas on where to go from here?

"I don't understand this expectation of women not being able to have a scat fetish.
If I shit in a bowl of cereal imagine it tells me "I'm the 48th bowl of cereal you've shat in I don't feel special".
Well fuck you cheerios, just because I've shat in other bowls of cereal doesn't mean I can't enjoy your warm whole grain crunch"

This one triggers me. Only someone who has never cooked food in their life would say such stupid shit. But it's presented like the character is shining a light on the supposed completely arbitrary customs that make up our cultures.

We don't have curry for breakfast because curry takes a long time to cook, enjoy spending 40 minutes of your morning cooking a fucking curry dish you fucking idiot. Eggs are typically eaten for breakfast because they are full of protein and can be cooked in literally a single minute.

You see less 'discrete' eggs later in the day because they typically get mixed or whipped into more complex dishes during lunch and dinner... you know, when the cook isn't half asleep and starving.

Actually, this is the only John Green quote I've seen where I actually quite agree with the humanistic sentiment. Of course, he couldn't resist injecting a little bit of platitudinous garbage like 'make your life YOURS,' but the fundamental idea is correct. If only he would follow through by writing stuff that actually encourages humanism among the youth rather than the sort of fiction which Master Bloom would call training for Stephen King.

He's a YA writer. The books speak to and tug the heartstrings of teenage girls everywhere. It's why the deep thoughts and insights feel so fake; they're sort of a starter pack to insight, perfect for that time in your life when you're transferring from Nancy Drew or Sweet Valley High or whatever into more adult literature and want to read romantic, achingly tragic and sort of deep stuff that resonates with the nameless teenage angst and desperation over everything - but aren't advanced thinkers enough to be able to stand the really deep stuff.

It's not that bad for what it is, you just shouldn't try to hold it to the same standard as books for adults

Cereal can't give me STD's. Also, I eat cereal at home. That cereal hasn't been eaten before. That cereal came packaged, sealed, and fresh in an unopened box.

That cereal was a virgin. If it want's to judge me based on how many cereals I have eaten then fine. But I can at least tell them that I have only been with fresh cereals and those cereals have not been anywhere but with me.

:\ Maybe if girls weren't whores and only had sex with one person then maybe I could think of women's sexual lives as cereal.
