David Foster Wallace hate is the strangest foid meme. Are they really meeting tons of obnoxious dudes that really love David Foster Wallace? Like even online he has some fans I guess but they're not crazy about him like the haters are.

!foidmoment !bookworms do you know what's going on here?

Status competition amongst the vanishingly small number of people who still read (non-pornographic) fiction

Someone who has only read DFW and thinks Infinite Jest is the peak of literature is definitely a red flag for midwittery and pretentiousness.

If you've read it as part of a wider selection of things it's not bad, but there's a lot of people who've only read him and nowt else

Freddie deboer has a longpost about this phenomenon where he points out that very few people read novels, and only a small percentage of these people read experimental fiction. An even smaller percentage goes out into the world and discusses it. He thinks that most of these women who seethe about DFW fans probably hang out in the same nyc art hoe scene and are literally describing the exact same guy.

if this is tru and there is some turbo-neurodivergent infinite jest enjoyer who has successfully infiltrated the lit chick sleepover, I salute him.

I don't read novels because they're imaginary so Thucydides would probably call me an artstrag or something. So all I know about David Foster Wallace is that a few years ago there was a tv commercial they would play incessantly where it was assumed you know and care about this person. The narrator even got really into it, especially when he said the guy's name. I think it was some kind of sexual experience for him.
