I don't know, but they seem to be a lot more creative than straight people such as myself.

As a gay guy im not really creative in an artsy way, although I read a lot and love philosophy. Most gay men grow up more attached to women than men, and it's possible they pick up women's more creative instincts

Science has already proven that creativity and IQ are both elements of the male sperm: it's a well known fact that the number of dicks sucked has a direct linear relationship with the quality of your work and the success of your life.

It's a correlation between suffering and intelligence. It's more a result of social antipathy than fucking butts.
>>
Because they are used to being 'different', gay people have a higher perceptive sense than the majority and find it easier to let go and forget about social rules.

And while this allows them to create works that speak to fundamental truths about humanity, it also leads to neurosis as the world is not a pretty place.
>>
>>8037236
I think maybe because artistic communities historically would have been more accepting of homos then other industries and so they would flock to it so they could meet each other and not get killed.
Or maybe you could make a chart like that about any demographic since there has been great art/media made by people of pretty much every age, colour, sexuality and nationality, so it means nothing.

This assumes that homosexuality has some social or manifest cause. Which it doesn't.

Homosexuality is a disease of both mind and brain, and has nothing to do with your perception of reality. If you have a certain imbalance in your brain, this will CAUSE a specific perception of reality, i.e homosexuality.

Just because some of your favorite writers are gay doesn't mean they are more creative or anything like that. Them being gay is completely irrelevant, and is a brilliant example of correlation not equaling causation.

Probably because gay man are more close to women, that makes they more sensitive and, who knows, maybe more attracted to little details.

Things relationed to feelings, like art, are a media to express themselves.

I fucking hate how stupid gays will claim every great person in the existence was one of them (gay), despite countless of proofs that none of them were gay.

"Homosexual" wasn't really an identity until relatively recently, maybe around the start of the 20th century. Homosexual was just an adjective, not an identifier. One would do homosexual acts but nobody was A HOMOSEXUAL. People like Rousseau were fucking dudes. They were fucking chicks. They weren't "gay". They weren't 'bi'. They were just normal fucking dudes.

>le thing I'm not is responsible for others successes.

Even if we pretend all these are gay it still would not matter. The straight chart doesn't exist because it would be too large.

Why is it so hard for people to judge someone as an individual? Someone's success is not a result of their sexuality, race, height or whatever. It is a result all all those things coming together to create a unique individual.

Of course this makes me the racist and homophobic bigot. Fucking ridiculous.

Fag here. Pretty much agree with >>8037669. I think the correlation between being gay and being creative is pretty fucking hazy. We have to remember just how many incredibly creative people were straight. You can be perfectly straight and still have many of the qualities that are often applied to gay people (effeminate, recluse, creative). We're all human beans here & we all have different features that may or may not be related to eachother in any way.

This is some bullshit right here. I understand the sentiment and where you are coming from, but really think about it.

Who's life was harder Dostoyevsky's or Gogol's (was he even gay?)? That oppressive environment is not and have never been exclusive to gays or minorities or any other group.

While I agree that an oppressive environment might give someone more reason to express their feelings in artistic form, you forget that the largest group of people who are oppressed, which still true to this day, are those who think in a way that is different to the majority or those in power.
>>
>>8037236

This is a great picture.

People don't realize that the only point the picture has is to make people consciously consider for a moment that some highly acclaimed works of art were made by gay people. It is showing that gay people have been around for a while and that they have contributed to culture. It's shaking up heteronormativity.

Douglas P. is openly gay,[3] and says that 'being gay is fundamental to Death in June', and expresses discontent with this side of Death in June not being explored in interviews. He describes the lack of coverage of this as 'incredulous' [sic]. His literary influences include Yukio Mishima and Jean Genet, whom he admires 'not only because their work was brilliant but that they were also gay. It adds so much.'[4]
>>

The man was a fucking samurai and a nationalist who fought for the traditional Confucian values, no way he was gay.

Mishima wasn't gay, if he was then it was in a super Greek way, which doesn't count as being gay.

>>8037954
Which would you prefer: for people to be aware of famous gays and to continue to promote the idea of gays being a separate group or to promote great works and be open about the fact that they are gay?

These works are only grouped by their sexuality. It is trying to show gay art rather than art made by gays. The distinction is important: In the first way, the emphasis is put on the fact that they are and in the other way, the emphasis is put on their art; the fact that they are gay is not hidden or looked down upon, but instead is seen as just one part of the person.

It does a great disservice to the artist to try and make them a gay mascot rather that an individual. These people don't represent gays, they represent themselves. It is way better to see a jazz musician in a chart for jazz because that is his art. He wants to be known for his music and not for something he had no control over.

Wouldn't it be insulting if you made some great work, only to have people which the same hair color be grouped with you rather than the artists you admired and took influence from? Your hair color does not define you or your work. The same thing can be said about your sexuality. You only have to see the massive variety all works ever made by straight people.

C'mon, brother. This chart represents work by artists that people are assumed to already know (hence the lack of attribution on the image itself) and adds that those artists were gay. Is there any reason that being represented as a "gay artist" is more offensive than being represented as a "Spanish artist" or "English artist"?

>source on Mishima being gay
May I direct you to his autobiographical Confessions of a Mask. He was more explicit than Oscar Wilde. There's really no ambiguity

>>8038049
He mentions repeatedly his lust for rough brutal men. Dockworkers and criminals. Speculates this stemmed from his prepubescent sexual awakening watching a sewer worker, sweaty and muscular, carry buckets of literal shit down the road.

Saying Mishima wasn't gay is like the revisionist papers in Japan that for decades wrote alternate news pretending the US surrendered in WW2. Or the SJW who insist Shakespeare wasn't an Englishman, or that Beethoven was black
>>
>>8038105
Are you >>8037954? I was trying to talk about the whole SJW way of looking at diversity in art. I assumed because that post used the word "heteronormativity" that that person would be sympathetic towards that line of thinking.

Maybe I got it all wrong though.

No, but I probably have what you call an "SJW way of looking at art." This chart is a mess because the gayness of some of these artists is seriously in question, but I don't why it's any more limiting to be grouped as a "gay artist" rather than an "English artist." Both categories are so hopelessly diverse that no one could hope to find some unifying principle, but both remain useful nonetheless.

>I don't why it's any more limiting to be grouped as a "gay artist" rather than an "English artist."

I agree with you to some extent. Just making a chart labeled "English artist" is limiting, but something like "English artists in the 15 century" would be better.

The chart in the pic has lots of authors hitting on similar subjects from different angles and perspective. You read Fathers and Sons, then Demons and then The Duel and you will have a much greater experience than any on their own.

Being Russian lit is more than just being an author from Russia.


The same with music: American music of 1920 is going to have a specific sound that goes beyond just being an American and playing music.

You can't say the same for the gay chart.


What has Plato got to do with American Psycho or Dead Souls? (let's just assume the whole chart is right) Being gay in ancient Greece is nothing like being gay in Russia or in the United States. They're so different and to top it off, none of these are about being gay.


If there was a gay chart that had book about being gay or living a gay life, then it would be a different story.

Fucking your friend wasn't homosexual to the Greeks, and pure homosexuality i.e. not having a family was considered absolutely degenerate and worthy of ostracism. It was a man's duty to get a wife and have lots of kids. This isn't up for debate - the oikos was the central tenet of Greek society, and if you didn't uphold it you were basically a fucking Persian.

>avoiding women is gay
Just listen to yourself for a moment. Most straight men spend their entire free time away from women, doing sports, or going fishing, or doing overtime at work for the sole reason of escaping harridans. What do gay men tend to do? Become fag hags for screeching cunts, become the witty espousers of bitchy one liners for the amusement for the vagina holders.

If anything, the amount of time you spend around women is a good correlation of homosexuality for precisely the opposite reason you stated - the more time you spend, the gayer you are.

My best friend doesn't post here. He's also gay. And he's been suffering from schizophrenia. He's better now. And he's gotten a scholarship to university of Chicago. The problem he is facing is, his parents are ignorant as fuck and they also have the money. He is supposed to show 34000 dollars in his account in order for him to obtain the visa. They are insisting that he marries a girl to get this money. At first they wanted me to marry him. Second choice was a girl who has been crushing on him for ages despite knowing he's gay. I suspect she's also of the mentality that Homosexuality can be cured (indian subcontinent isn't known for its open mindedness). What do I do to help him? With all of this stress his schizophrenia is resurfacing.

There are two kinds of gay:

>Being so heightened and self-conscious in your manly (that is, "human") essence that you realize women aren't even people, and more like jiggly semi-intelligent animals that you can put your dick in to make more men, so to get real companionship and intimacy you have to meet another manly dude, because only the perpetual striving and activity of another actualized soul can really excite your own in return

>Being so heightened in your feminine essence (that is, being such a huge stupid pussy) that you start to desire being the passive, receptive, dull, lifeless, ambitionless, passionless, spiritually dead essence of a woman, so you can retreat from life's dangers and exigencies and lay passively backward onto a pillow and limply and pathetically spread your legs and passively receive the active thrusting of an actual human being

99.9999% of current gays are Type 2. That's why they're all mincing hedonists, insane emotional histrionics, perpetual children, and limp whiny douches. That's why they try to imitate the lilting childishness, effeminacy, and weaknesses of women. They are failed men, men who have surrendered, in the battle of life, and who want the comfort of captivity and control by another.

It's not so much innate creativity/intelligence somehow congenitally associated with homosexuality. Rather, what's really going on is that since they don't compete for women or raise families (unless of course a closeted gay man married and bred, which happens regularly), the "free" gays have a lot of surplus mental and physical energy to pursue what they will, since evolution's not their bag.

Naturally, gays often like the softer/squishier human endeavors (the arts, music, drama), which leads them to participate in these, and in the exceptional cases (OP's pic) to create lasting works of their own. Because they just plain have the free time that breeders (using that word in its neutral, literal sense) just plain don't. Once you produce kids, you'll spend the rest of your life doing for them, making sure they are provided for as best you can.

I don't see Turing in OP's thing, since OP's thinkg is focused on the "squishy" endeavors I just mentioned. But Horse Rotorvator and Soft Cell are nice degenerate touches, kek
>>

damn, boy, no need to get your sphincter twisted in a panic over this, no one's coming for your boipussy.

Straight people can have pain too. You know, it's just that gays have a disproportionate amount of it.

No, you're trying to pretend you understand shit you never read about from anywhere reputable again, anon. Hubris is the social and legal shame associated with being homosexual, and it didn't matter if you got married before or since. Aristotle claims it should extend to the older partner, but most of the weight of the shame was usually against the receptive partner, as was demonstrated in the case against Timarchus. You're defining homosexuality as a deviant role differently than Athenians did, and those are the sources which generally paint the Persians as fey. Roman sexuality and its definitions of homosexuality took the penetrating vs penetrated dichotomy to greater extents, but pretending the definition of homosexuality as a lifestyle or deviant lifestyle was not getting married is just dumb, anon,- especially if you read The Persians.

That album is very amusing. All gays have some vague idea of being an adonis living in 1970s/1980s New York, and enjoying apex-tier degeneracy in the old days. You can even see it on the cover, as Marc seems to pull a dirty magazine out of his leather jacket. Marc's trying to look like rough trade, he's a real toughie.

Funnily enough, I've just remembered that both Coil and (much more famously) Soft Cell covered Tainted Love; the latter is a club standard. But while we're on the topic of 80s-tier degeneracy, I notice that Clive Barker is absent from the /lit/ column (Coil also did a soundtrack for the original hellraiser film which went unused.)

The above Soft Cell album also contains a nastier club track called "Sex Dwarf", for which a music video was made that is even shocking by today's standards. Something like, Marc, a dwarf and some other actors throwing some meat around a red bloody-looking-room, they all writhe around in what appears to be blood, kek.

I appreciate the compliment. I have a minimal online presence, but often write lengthy posts like those on various 4chan boards, including /lit/, /r9k/, /tv/, and occasionally /sci/ and some porn boards focused on either sex (biscum here). Of course, the whole appeal of thise site is that you can just say things and not be uniquely, positively identified short of literal criminal investigation, so. polite sage for further off-topic.
