Current Events > So Holden Caulfield is basically the embodiment of the incel community...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Spliced in with a mix of the typical posters you'd find on the Chans, Reddit, and other places like CE. For example:

Certain things, they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone.

I dont give a damn, except that I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age. Sometimes I act a lot older than I am - I really do - but people never notice it. People never notice anything.

I was surrounded by phonies...They were coming in the goddam window.

Girls with their legs crossed, girls with their legs not crossed, girls with terrific legs, girls with lousy legs, girls that looked like swell girls, girls that looked like they'd be bitches if you knew them... You figured most of them would probably marry dopey guys. Guys that always talk about how many miles they get to a gallon in their goddam cars. Guys that get sore and childish as hell if you beat them at golf, or even just some stupid game like ping-pong. Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books. Guys that are very boring.

That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can.

Never really thought about it until now. I thought Catcher in the Rye was a boring book about a whiny douche back when I had to read it in HS and haven't put much thought into it until the last 15 minutes or so. Probably not a new thing, but eh, I got a kick out of it

oh yeah, that book.

I was made to read that in high school.
the only scene I remember is when he hires a prostitute just to talk to her, then her pimp comes to beat him up.
at least that's how I think it went.

It's been a while since I read the book, but no that doesn't sound right to me. Maybe if you don't actually finish reading the book.

Holden Caulfield is such an annoying prick. It was impossible to root for the self-righteous hypocrite that he was.

What a loser.

the real incel is Ignatious Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces

God it was such a forgettable book. I honestly don't remember a single thing from it.

I just remember that awkward scene and Holden fantasizing about getting revenge afterwards. And something about boarding school. But yeah, forgettable.
