What nationality writes the weirdest shit? -

[Y2K Baby]

1) Recently
2) Historically
The three listed are the first to come to mind for me.

The Russian classics are just chronically depressed, the French have a pretty diverse array of writing, and idk enough about Japanese literature to make any comment. Italians have written a lot of weird shit

Don't forget other mediums. Ruskies make shit like Pathologic too.

Germans were always kind of fucked up, aside from Nazism. A lot of German children's stories centered around demonic boogeymen and cruel and unusual deaths.

Scandinavia is also fucked in mythology. Now all they make is metal.

i wish i read more books to be able to make conclusions here.

As for mythology,it's pretty fucked up in any nation. And the fact that many myths spread to other nations and mix together makes them even weirdier.

Ever read any Hindu mythology? The power level on that shit would make a shonen weeb cry.

 

[OxyContin]

I'd definitely say Arabs.

The only Russian stuff I've read is half of War and Peace.

The only Russian stuff I've read is half of War and Peace.

This is apparently a real novel and the cover is really apropos. According to an anon on 4chan who claims to have read it:

"The main character is a businessman obsessed with the number 34 (and horrified of the number 43) who is described as looking "like the Pokemon Pikachu, only adult and terrifying." He falls in love with a chick who's obsessed with Meowth to the point where she's spiked her hair to look like those things pointing off of the side of Meowth's head and even acts like a Meowth. She drags him into the world of Pokemon roleplay sex, and can't get off unless he's tasing her and making Pikachu sounds. The rest of the story just falls into even more madness with happy terrorists, apocalyptic hobos, ancient Chinese wizards posing as Photoshop designers, evil rituals, brutal murder with a dildo, a goldfish that turns into an amazing American superhero called "Queerman" (I believe that's what it translated to, it might have been more offensive), and Vladmir Putin in drag being obsessed with Rule 34 of Donkey from Shrek and raping Pikachu while making donkey sounds and monologuing about capitalism. Also this won a huge prestigious award apparently because it's all a postmodern metaphor for something or other. All I know is I never want to read another Russian story again"

The author is apparently well-acclaimed too.

If you joined in 2018 and voted for the Japanese, I'm going to assume you've never read a book tbh.

"Bitch lasagna."

Japan.

It's always Japan.

Same for horror movies.

The French literally produced the Marquis de Sade, who we named 'Sadism' after. Going through the thread on fucked up books, it seems he was quite the inspiration for a lot of freaks and weirdos.

The Russians are literally just bitter, nothing too interesting.

Japan definitely has some freaky shit, but I don't think I've seen a major Japanese production that was too out there. The Human Condition would be right at home in a high school or college literature class.

 

[The Shadow]

As an American I say we're pretty weird. We produced Sonichu.

False. I wouldn't have put them here If that were true. Communism is pretty weird itself tbh tbh.

 

[Teri-Teri]

Icelandic folklore and Indian mythology.
