How did Herman get away with it?
nobody actually read his book until like 100 years later
The victorians censored the hell out of it and not just for blasphemy and uncovered table legs.
oh shit, I forgot:
>Gay-Head
need me a man from Gay Head to give me gay head
My theory is that everybody was secretly gay back then. The reason why women had to be covered up all the time, was because men were disgusted by them. The reason children were abused and sent to work in the factories, is because they reminded the fathers of the fact that they had to have sex with a woman in order to produce such a thing.
As is well known, sodomy causes demonic posession, so the demons came inside all of the men of that era, and they built their society to form it into what we have today. Really simple honestly.
big if true
>everybody was secretly gay back then. The reason why women had to be covered up all the time, was because men were disgusted by them.
If that is true then why do those old timey pictures of women give me a boner?
All this implies is disdain for women, not gay for men
Child labor is based and banning it is just an example of the left fricking peoples lives up thinking they are doing the right thing
These are the five least gay things about Moby-Dick.
The "gay" part literally happens within the first 20 pages of the book and all that happens is two men share one bed in a hotel. Tell me how I know you and the moron who drew picrel never read the book.

They post on IQfy
What about that part where the protagonist almost cries out of joy because he was massaging sperm
What gets me is just how pointless to the story this part is … like they even wind up on the same ship afterwards but you’d almost never know it, queeqeg just becomes another background character with their little bunk bed soire being totally forgotten about
The purpose of that scene is to establish that Ishmael is not racist. Melville was ahead of xir's time.
>The whale was still strapped to the portswall, despite it's ever loosening bonds.
>Captain Ahab, now you had never seen such a man with a such of frenzy for the sperma
>"Tighten the aft haunchrope men! In that mass lies the most glistening sea dew ever congealed in heaven or hell!"
>The pocket whale, the oralca, they all pale before the mighty majesty of this stuff!
>With every word his lips grew more taut, producing a curl in one cheek much like Himilayan round clover, which is not really a clover at all
>what with having no clove to cleave, but we will get to that later.
>All on the sudden brave noble savage Queequeg, having the stongest and most well proprtioned >thighs, and also with the best hue, that kind of hue no lilly legged Nantucketer can ever aquire. No matter how many days he lay with his legs aspread under the cloudy New England rays, for believe me i have tried,
>dove headfirst, large harpoon in hands, lunging for the precious sperma, that white gold once only known to the most refined and learned souls.
>now immersed to the waist in that gaping hole, hands undoubtetly scooping up that precious stuff.
>"Yes that's it Queequeg! You see men! There is one among you who knows how to grasp at his prize! Look on him and hope you may endear yourself to me as he has you blasted fools!"
>The Captains face was now copletely pale. No amount of whale kidney, that as which reddens the face of many a sturdy bawdeyhouse dancer though,
>could have improved that colorless masque, for such a ferventorious passion had now consumed the Captain it was clear to me, and every other soul walking the sturdy rock under the stars i'm sure,
>that no passion had ever gripped a man greater than now, not even the greatest scollyhopping young maiden wearing the finest pair of upland whitewood clogs could have caught his attention now.
>Never has a man been so obsessed in the harvesting of this precious fluid as he.
> CHAPTER 79.
> The Upland Whitewood Clog.
>Every man knows the upland whitewood clog is the finest of clogs. Finer than a common pine clog. Finer even than an eastern fen clog.
>Though few know to what lengths one must go to procure such a clog...
doesn't resemble the writing in Moby Dick at all. you didn't even get Ahab's Quaker dialect right, which should have been the easiest thing to emulate.
Memery aside, could anyone recommend any additional reading (articles, websites with annotations, hell, even videos/lectures will do) about its themes, motifs, references, oddities?

Is there anything I hate more than Tumblr? Seriously, the worst people to exist on the internet.
They are poison to anything that they can latch onto. Always focus on the narcissistic homosexualry of their lives and nothing else.

Whatever, it's all the same to me. Looks the same and has no distinctive qualities that allow it to separate from the rest.
