the picture of you jerking tao lin off at this reading is good. good job. is fsg publishing this reading?
i like having my penis touched, i don't know if i want to have it published though
Cultstatus. You take a moral high road and try to attack Zac German for being a homophobe. You are even careful to bracket the word 'fag' so it does not seem like your own word that you have introduced into this context and which you are making use of. But you give yourself away when you talk about Tao Lin’s crotch. By your logic, if Zac is gay with Tao Lin, which the crotch-touching somehow proves, blooming now into a jerk-off, then this is somehow funny because it is the proof of his desperation and inauthenticity and sycophancy. Gay is not just gay for you. It is an insult. You are being disingenuous and homophobic. And, to me, not very funny.
Also:
Tao Lin said...
'eat a dick' is concrete at least, it can be accomplished, is direct, and makes no value judgements
Tao Lin also said...
it's like a group of football players in high school going to some weird lonely depressed person who likes dennis cooper a lot and shit-talking that person a lot and then that person telling the football players to 'eat a dick fagtron'
Tao Lin is right. He is very smart which is why you should buy all his books immediately.
Zachary German is not a homophobe. He is not attacking gays. He is offering advice to shit-talking people to help them change their perspectives. He is suggesting a productive alternative to how they can spend their time instead of just spending it shit-talking people like Zac German. I like Zac German for this. He may even have some advice for you too.
Zachary, how come you don't answer questions about why you call people "faggots"?
I responded on that other blog about why the high school analogy is dishonest.
I'm not trying to be funny at all. I'm pointing out why Zachary German felt the need to write on his blog that he's not homophobic. It's because elsewhere on the internet he had just called Eric Shonkwiler a faggot (sorry *fagtron*) because the guy didn't like his writing.
Who can blame the guy for not liking it? It's terrible
Tao you don't want fsg to publish it? No? Really? I heard fsg is publishing it. Everybody is talking about how fsg is publishing this guy Zachary German. Good job on that.
i am posting a lot on your friends blogs about how you call people faggot. i think it is cool. fagtron, faggot, these are good words. you have to say shortly after you call someone a faggot that you were being ironic--just in case. you wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea. you should also say that you are bisexual, or even gay. good job, zachary german.
Cultstatus. I could make a long response to what you said here and over there but I can't be bothered to drag this out any longer. Just know that gay rights and literature are both so much safer now they have you to protect them from Zac German.
cultstatus, do you live in new york city or the surrounding area?
come to the bowery poetry club (308 bowery street - between houston and bleecker - you can take the f train to 2nd ave or the 6 to bleecker) at 6:30pm, this thursday, april 17.
i am going to read, along with host george wallace, levi asher, tao lin, clarissa beyah taylor, joy leftow and larissa shmailo.
i will buy you as much beer as my trust fund will allow.
slatted light: i am so surprised at you defending these losers, as i have been a consistent and careful reader of DC's blog for years now.
i guess i gave DC too much credit for suporting Lin & Co. i must've just liked Cooper's work too much.
i suppose this post will be deleted eventually, but why stand up for work that bills itself only as overly cute/coy/controversial? it isn't controversial in an interesting sense (at ALL), and the cute/coy only belies an adherence to Ultimate Hipster Irony in the sense that honesty and intellect are deemed to difficult (in terms of "attaining it" and conceptual foundations) to deal with.
this is, at best, 9th rate work, all of it. remove the small group of congratulatoy scenesters, and Tao Lin/Cicero/German et al might actually realize that.
