@Darinstrauss What would porn have been in the early 1900s? Looking at the ruffles in a woman’s floor length Edwardian Era dress? Spying a peak at her flirtatious wrists as she extended her gloved hand for a greeting? Twitter is faux outrage overcooked.

@thelinefor2 also, if looking at porn is cancellable, isn't that not supporting sex workers?

@Darinstrauss His tweets were frankly grotesque.

@richcohen2003 he has screengrabs of the nastiest 1904 porn

@Darinstrauss The whole concept of “Franz Kafka set a poor example” is beyond hilarious

@Glenn__Kenny worst dude in the penal colony

@Darinstrauss The Portnoy of Prague

@Darinstrauss Are people really being upset that he was a sex weirdo and payed for sex? I thought people were joking. This is a common description for artists and I thought hat's why we admired them. Those guys are weird.

@Darinstrauss tiktok girls who aren't "doing the reading" will not survive the Oscar Wilde allegations.

@Darinstrauss Being addicted to porn in 1900s is like looking at one nude photograph a week

@Darinstrauss do girls romanticize his quotes?

@Darinstrauss He barely was though! Brothels were pretty normal for men of his class pre-sexual revolution, and he usually had one disposable lover or another until the TB got too bad. Outwardly he was a bachelor slightly too long but was mostly pretty normal.

@Darinstrauss @IQWrestler I'm just amazed there's apparently a young generation of girls romanticizing Kafka quotes

@Darinstrauss Kafka wanted his works burned after his death and never published. Canceling him would just be honoring his last wishes.

@Darinstrauss Kafka was such a lonely weirdo they made a whole word about it

@Darinstrauss @Poormojo To be 'tortured by sexual desire' at the time was probably more a reflection on the attitudes towards sex at the time than any actual degeneracy

@Darinstrauss A lot of these takes really sounds like high school students trying to moralize the fact that they don’t want to do their assigned reading

@Darinstrauss as a rule of thumb if he says some true shit and make some banger art in any form he was a freak

@Darinstrauss no really how has this discourse even come about. "kafka was a weird lonely kinda awful guy!" thats literally his whole gig. self evidently and very clearly that, yes

@Darinstrauss Oof sorry, unfollowing him now. Really enjoyed his shoes, didn't know he was good at basketball
