ROTK. The Water Margin is pretty boring.

[Anonymous No.23397125]

>>23395825
Really? I read that water margin was not for the young, as they'll read it and then go do crazy shit because it glorifies violence. Also wasn't it banned in China several times?

You should remember that China does shit like this before you take information like that at face value.

少不读水浒,老不读三国 “The young should not read The Water Margin, the old should not read Three Kingdoms.”

Charming, anon, but I believe the question meant to ask why you were using triple perentheses
This notation is not used for emphasis or sarcasm, but to indicate your belief that the named thing is part of a Jewish conspiracy.
Historically this would mostly be used for names, but occasionally a concept or sentiment *they* would have you believe.
So your usage would be unusual but a likely interpretation would be something like
>I am of an age the Jew-run media would have you think of as old when it is actually young or middle age because of their overarching campaign to demoralize us
I hope either that this was your intention or that I have caught you in time to avert your giving any mistaken impressions to people you may know in real life. You can see how this might lead to embarrassment.

Which is most accurate?

[Anonymous No.23399508]

Neither. Avoid Chinese "literature" at all costs. It will brainwash you and become a bad person.

Just trying to save simple, honest lit lovers from accidental pariah-hood. People who take away that impression won't necessarily confront you about it.
If you're comfortable with the risks or you stand by that image, by all means carry on.

Return Of The King is a must read but only if you've read the first two in the trilogy.

Water Margin was banned because it portrayed just bandits-turned-heroes fighting against a corrupt and oppressive state.

You can see how that lends itself to being declared non-kosher by the people in charge

There are comics from Taiwan that are pretty thorough

[Anonymous No.23400096]

That's retarded and probabky nit true since Water Margin's MC is a doormat for the government and his motive is to get himself and his subordinates pardons from the imperial court and the last part of the story is them fighting other rebels and the khitan. Even when some bureaucrats scheme against them and poison them it's portrayed as a personal grudge
