Meta thread?
Meta thread.
We do polls and infographics about books etc all the time, but does anyone want to help me sort out the chronology of /lit/'s meme authors? What i've come up with is hardly comprehensive and some of the chronology is surely wrong.
>Ayn Rand; from day one, she was this board's troll magnet, leading to pic related
>Murakami; general agreement/frequent subject of posts
>Borges; general agreement/frequent subject of posts
>Brautigan; meme status fizzled, but was really popular for a few days, IIRC. maybe not list material.
>Tao Lin; he came here
>Joyce; ares full of farts, meme trilogy
>DWF; general agreement/frequent subject of posts, meme trilogy
>Pinecone; general agreement/frequent subject of posts, meme trilogy, alleged to have come here, but that was outed as a ruse i think. good thread, though.
>Stirner; >muh spooks
>"trolley problem"; not really an author, i guess
>Kharms; iranbro
>"start with the greeks"; we always had a lot of philo threads but i don't remember a specific greek being a meme until they were encapsulated by the SWtG meme. could totally be wrong, tho.
>Dworkin, current shitty forced meme
DFW was probably earlier? I want to say maybe Orson Scott Card and GRRM go on here somewhere, but not sure they defined the board culture, since we tend to shit on genre? i mean Rowling and Meyers got posted enough to be memetic, i suppose, but only because they were memes of the larger culture, not specifically /lit/.
i was focusing on authors, but we could open it up to all our memes if we want.
Dresden Files were a meme for a little bit. I fell for it and had to read 3 books before I realized /lit/ is full of shit.
not authors, but
>corn
and
>subvocalize
?
bump for memes
Someone was meming gene wolf or whatever his name was pretty hard a few months ago

Dworkin isn't a meme. It's one Tumblrina posting her shite all over /lit/.

>lacking the capacity to self-critically think about your actions and the culture to which you belong

Hey Dworkin poster!
/lit/ sure could use a TAR replacement
Stoner and The Book of Disquiet have been quietly but consistently popular here since at least 2012.
Zizek, Nietzche and Augustine have all had their five minutes of meme.
You forgot the faux-christians and their endless christposting

Somehow both expected and disappointing.

nostalgia :(

>>7489976
>tfw you gave CAPSGUY that pic because his trip reminded you of a story your grandma used to read to you
Stirner, Schopenhauer and Hegel are all huge memes
Marxism used to be big before it turned into Catholicism.
