and in the style of a hardbitten pulp antihero

so we're at kind of an impasse I guess

My normal posting style is layered irony and cosmic horror jokes. This is me being real. Cripes. My main point here is, Trump, Bannon, and their entire thing is bad fucking news, and it wigs me the hell out sometimes, and I'm running around trying to shake people to tell them. That's it.

these experiences sound awful but here's the thing I 100% guarantee you that nothing you could tell us about would give anybody here any new insight whatsoever about what these types of people are like

the style of a hardbitten pulp antihero

there are only so many styles a person can use and if you're trying hard for a vivid and visceral effect, then mimicking an extant style badly is about the only option for those who don't devote their life to writing well.

I've never read any pulp antihero novels, I'm just writing things out as they come along. It's the material itself that makes it seem like that, and I can't help that other than to not talk about it at all, which I'm going to go back to.

Anyway, my own experiences with these people is that their limitless cruelty, their 100% lack of guilt and remorse, and their motive to destroy for pleasure, makes them the most dangerous type of person who can exist in the world. More dangerous than Putin. More dangerous than greedy, power hungry people. That's what we're dealing with here. We've got the worst of the worst here.

larry's anxiety that we don't get it prevents him from accepting anything less than his own life story as evidence we do.

larry appleton is either telling the truth OR larry appleton is lying for some perverse trollish thrill OR larry appleton is entirely wackadoo, in any of which cases further harassment is contraindicated

think we can lock this thread now btw

Guys, please. It's NAGL to cast aspersions on someone who is talking about trauma just because they posted some shitty stuff in another thread. You have no evidence either way.

this is absolutely true and i want to be as respectful and empathetic as possible towards what he went through. on the other hand, i suffer from serious mental illness myself, and i refuse to use my mental illness as an excuse for being an asshole to other people. larry, if your trauma makes it impossible for you to treat other people in a respectful manner, maybe you should take a little break from posting until you get that under control a little better.

Yeah, that's my plan, I have enough other shit going on, and this Trump stuff is just frying my brain.

larry appleton, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 23:46 (seven years ago) link

Lock thread.
