Not an issue, for he possessed (and I quote) "an immense orifice whose enormous diameter, odor, and colour bore a closer resemblance to the depths of a well freighted privy than to an rear end in a top hat."

Its disgusting, I know, but the Oxford comma was in the translated text.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: De Sade got himself arrested for sodomising a prostitute in the Revolutionary France era but used his connections and money to avoid the guillotine and was sentenced to a long stint in the Bastille in a private cell where, as minor aristocracy, he was allowed luxuries such as his own private chef.

With nothing else to do in his cell, he ate until he got so fat he could no longer walk and wrote. And wrote. And wrote.

Given that he blamed the prostitute for his predicament, a lot of his writings are incredibly misogynistic, even for the time, and are little more than masturbatory fantasies of sex and cruelty.

When the Bastille was liberated, all the nasty little stories that he wrote with one hand titillated the masses so much that they were reprinted countless times despite being the kind of filth which would otherwise see you arrested yourself just for owning it. "See how terrible the aristocracy is! Yes, it should be banned by the Committee of Public Safety. Yes, I have more in stock."

Because of that, a lot of his writings managed to survive to this day. But his work is really not very good. Very little got past a first draft, many weren't even finished. Most were about how women should be made to suffer and why rich men should get to do whatever they want.

The speech at the end of Rand's Atlas Shrugged is infamous for how long, tedious and far up its own arse it is. Now imagine 20 books like that. Massive screeds about libertarianism libertines* that go on and on and on and on and a plot which only exists in the space between rants and written in those few minutes at a time that De Sade could maintain an erection before passing out face down in an éclair big enough to choke a water buffalo.




* Libertines are a lot like libertarians. All the paedophilia, but less talk about property rights.

DeSade's work has no redeeming qualities at all and is a pretty decent argument for obscenity laws. I'm not saying this arbitrarily, I read a bit of it, and I don't think anyone has ever claimed that any part of it is good from any literary standpoint or makes any point other than being a lot of hateful poo poo for no reason. It's not even like other lovely, bad books where you can get one or two quotes out of it, there's really nothing there except for violent and vulgar nonsense.

Violent, vulgar, and repetitive. I think the most annoying thing about trying to read Sade was finding out it's just reams of the same poo poo (literally) over and over.

In what way does it justify obscenity laws? If it's just bad you can avoid reading it.

I think people are affected by the media they consume and social messaging, and there is absolutely no positive takeaway that could be had from it. I think its existence has no upside potential to speak of.

It's not artistically transgressive or anything. It's amazingly boring for how cruel and hateful it is. Also, it's child porn. That I didn't know at the outset.

"raised catholic" is one thing, i'm talking about specifically catholic-focused satire of catholicism made by a catholic. i'll check out that book, i didn't jump to read it when i first heard of it because i assumed it was just another outsider complaining.

The annoying thing is it could have had a nice ending if the underlying opinions of the writer weren't so gross. If it had just been Douglas being a twat about it as opposed to the writers it could have worked because in the last 5 minutes it shows that Douglas misses her and still loved her despite the initial shock, and wishing he'd handled thing better.

Yeah, the first time I saw that episode, I had already learned about the TERF poo poo, but my main takeaway from the episode was him being miserable and alone at the end.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Indeed. I first saw that episode long before I was aware of Linehan's transphobia and misogyny.

And apart from the man vs woman fist fight, (which I am probably damning myself by initially thinking was so cartoony and absurd so as to be goofy fun), I thought the joke was on Douglas coz he rejected the woman of his dreams for a bullshit petty reason.

Of course, now knowing how much Linehan hates trans people, and also hearing an interview about that fight scene, (he said that it was OK to have a man hitting a woman because she was trans, and therefore really a man, so THAT was the joke as opposed to the silliness of the over the top stage combat that I thought it was), it is impossible to look at that episode, and indeed the rest of the show in the same light.
