This is so offensive! Till now I have only lurked here, but this! Do you even know anything about this book Naked Lunch or its horrible author William S. Burroughs?!?

What can be your problem with Burroughs and the Naked Lunch? It is pure word of TRUTH given by messenger Burroughs.

Seriously? Burroughs was a notorious pedophile. There's a lot of pedophilia in that book. Not only that, the false portrayal of homosexuality in that book likely set back LGBPTTQQIIAA+ rights back by...who knows how many decades!

Then there's the racism. Naked Lunch in particular contains many passages portraying people of color in awful contexts using incredibly offensive language. Unacceptable.

Last but certainly not least, there's the misogyny. In the book he once refers to females as "two holed freaks". Seriously? You think that's OK?

Do you really want me to start posting quotes from Naked Lunch backing this up? Because you know they're in there.

Oh, and top off the misogyny in the book, there's the fact that in his real life:

He shot his wife in the head!

a crime for which there was never any justice.

And you're holding him up as a "messenger of truth"? Err. So frustrated! Don't fall for this people!
