To paraphrase someone on a discord I'm on, I'm not sure "I have had loads of sex so I understand the LGBT" is a good way to do what he's trying to do.it feels super performative, less like "i understand now sorry" and more "see look stop sending me hate mail"
of course EVERYTHING feels performative in this so who knows.
How do I not remember this lol.If anyone wants to know what happens at the end of the book as it's a bit of a doosy.
James Haliday (the old guy who came up with the OASIS) left one last surprise: a bleeding edge headset offering a more realistic experience.
It also can record brain scans of users of the OASIS, allowing the dead to be brought back to life.
At the end of the book they decide to send the backups of basically the entire human race into space on a spaceship that's going to Proxima Centari.
The main characters settle down and get married/have kids, while their AI clones (on the spaceship) play the OASIS forever in space.
That's not Cline. That's Weber.As I sat at my computer, a device using to access the internet, I entered the thread, a collection of posts on a forum, to post about how everything is explained, including both personal motivations and the motivations of the worldbuilding (as that was how I felt), I sat back in my chair in surprise.

people can really defend the worst quality creators by saying "he lives rent free in your head huehuehuehue"
His post says nothing in defense of Cline. He does point out you guys have circle jerked about the book for over 200 posts now though. Probably more posts then any fans would make happily discussing the new book.
They're less dense and have wings, so they'd be the first to leave the ground.Uhh the tornado is lifting up airplanes... but not the little cars?

Flamingo posted the "no fun allowed" image, a meme that started at 4chan then became popular on various gaming forums such as ResetEra, the image had originally come from the book Sonic's Shoes Blues, a kids book about the Sega video game character Sonic the Hedgehog published by Golden Books in 1993.

Not "defense" gotcha."Guys" implies many people.
Where in my post did I defend him? I simply pointed out that you "guys" are using some "high effort" to rant and rave based on something most people have only seen snippets of posted on Twitter.
The first book has massive gamergater energy
He's never read Watchmen apparently. Maybe someone should write him a tedious explanation of what an 80s cultural touchstone it is.you think ernest cline has ever read or watched anything nonfiction in his entire life?
All the porn I've come across
was targeted at beer-swilling sports bar dwelling alpha-males
Men who like their women stupid and submissive
Men who can only get it up for monosyllabic cock-hungry nymphos
with gargantuan breasts and a three-word vocabulary
Adult films are populated with these collagen-injected
liposuctioned women
Many of whom have resorted to surgery and self-mutilation
in an attempt to look the way they have been told to look.
These aren't real women. They're objects.
And these movies aren't erotic. They're pathetic.
These vacuum-headed fuck bunnies don't turn me on.
They disgust me.
Nobody associates Ghostbusters or Robocop or whatever with "80s culture", and nobody needs to google those things because they've almost all gotten sequels/reboots in the last 10 years.I'm pretty sure these books are meant for kids with a passing interest in "80s culture" that don't know where else to look

World renowned hip-hip artist Riley Reid should do it.
I remember reading Ready Player One, and I don't remember it being this bad lol.
Would you accept acclaimed slam poet Ernest Cline?
