Ladies

A man invites you for movie night at his place. Here's what his movie picks say about him. (Thread)
He doesn't care if you think he's out of his mind.

He's perfectly fine if you think that even.

He's watching your every reaction to see what jokes he can make.
Also, he wants to rail you.
He really doesn't care if you think he's out of his mind.

He's a big Gyllenhaal fan.

He's okay with freaking you out.
Also, he wants to rail you.
He has somewhat of a troubled relationship with his father and a detached connection to the world around him.

He dreams of self empowerment and brotherhood but also pushes other men away lest he rely on anyone too much.
He most likely wants to rail you.
He really really wants to rail you but has no idea how to go about it.

Desperately wants you to think he's one of the good ones.

Will show emotion at the "empowering" parts
He doesn't want to rail you.

He's a big Sandler fan and is only there to show you peak cinema.

You should appreciate this.
He really likes Sandler.

He doesn't care if you're comfortable at all. In fact, he wants you to be unsettled.

He probably is too focused on the movie to think about railing you.
He's gay.
He wants to look smart in front of you and has definitely read the Wikipedia, TvTropes or whatever plot explanations or YouTubers that gave details on this.
RUN, BITCH, RUUUUUUUN

Seeing people shield up their defenses of Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s writing by calling it too “smart” for fans because fans don’t agree with their media illiterate takes shows me how you people couldn’t write your way out of a paper bag Image
You can’t point to to a single character arc that felt earned in that show and you want to call the writing smart or in way good?

That lazy, inconsistent, conflicted thematically railroaded mess of a show?

You would fail ninth grade English in a just world.
There’s nothing more emblematic of this than Sam’s final speech.

Disjointed and vague, it felt like a writers unfinished thesis statement rather than an actual message. Unlike the action set pieces, you couldn’t even argue it felt like it was written first and everything else was written to fit around it.

Someone clearly looked at everything else they wrote and went, “Well… fuck.”Image

The average misogynist in Korea (not even incel, just misogynist) out-powerlevels American misogynists by the sheer fact that I don't think they believe woman are even close to being human.

They hate on pregnant women, bro.

Like actively.
American incels/misogynists know they have to at least nominally be good to women in a relationship.

Or in general.

SK incels/misogynists don't really believe that.

American guys who don't know the background talk on the evil SK radfem goverment cult, but...

I get it.
You don't understand the depth of it.

I I heard of the radfem cult thing a while ago and I went "that's fucking weird" and I researched.

And researched.

And then decided to just make my jokey jokes and stay quiet because that shit goes deeeep.

Facial Routine Thread (with links)

You don't have to get all of these but I reccomend a Cleanser, Toner, Sunscreen Moisturizer and Night Cream Image
Cleanser

Cerave Foaming Facial has hyaluronic acid for moisture so it also helps hydrate and comes with niacimicide which I always use as part of my routine.

Cleans good, keeps skin fresh.

Link: amzn.to/3O3ZAap
Toner

A good toner is important cause it removes the remaining traces of dirt & whatever after a facial wash.

It aslo helps discoloration, skin quality, pores etc.

I use The Ordinary because I felt it worked better for my skin.

I was once talking to someone who complained that the guys she wanted to date were nice, but they didn't ever give off a "nurturing" vibe, like they wouldn't offer her a jacket or open a door.

After some more questions, I realized that she was talking about chivalry. I told her that any man who’s passively absorbed feminist ideas—not deeply, mind you, but passively to the point that it shaped his worldview—is generally not going to be chivalrous.

You can't expect it from him. It's like expecting a cat to bark. It's possible, but it's not common and often a mimicry.

Now, you might be confused because you might likely think of feminist man would be very respectful of women, if not traditionally courteous.

But I'm not talking about a feminist man.Image
i’m not talking about the self-proclaimed male feminist or even an actual male feminist.

No, both of those would probably simulate some kind of chivalry, the former probably far better due to you know

no, i’m talking about the kind of guy who’s taken in feminist thinking to the point that he doesn’t necessarily agree with it, but he can’t think beyond it. Definitely starting from youth, it’s just there, embedded in his approach to life, part of his framework now.

if you’re asking what that looks like, it’s simple.

think of most incels in the US.

That is a man, who is not a feminist, but has feminist coated framework, despite having disregard (to be polite) for most feminist thought.

Even unintentionally, they partially regurgitate seven is ideals through the lens of resentment based misogyny.

they operate within a framework molded by feminist ideas, right down to accepting women's words at face value, even women that are just online, and their constant confusion over why women don’t think, act or respond like men.

Even their grievance structure is feminism coded, lacking agentic focus to the point that even a mention of personal change is often met with derision at the idea of it possibly affecting a single thing instead man's life, against the systemic structure they rail against.

it’s all structure, and they can't break outside of it.
Now the way this applies to chivalry is simple.

Most young men, generally Millennial and younger, have some degree of this feminist framework.

The problem here is that chivalry is courtesy: Aka benevolent sexism that is largely paternalistic in nature.

That nurturing mindset (chivalry) requires one to internally acknowledge women as worthy of your protection and care, meaning they can't do it themselves or they're not just as "able" as you.

it's always naturally at odds with that sort of feminist framework because it doesn't naturally track unless you're either lying or really great at doublethink.

So no, the average modern (I'd argue urbanite) man, is not going to be chivalrous or courteous. He's just following the information Society has instilled into him.

"New characters"

posts a legacy character
Wow, legacy

Is that... a legacy?

You mean, a spin-off character? What the original thread was talking about?

There’s like five things you can tell your son as he grows up that will literally kill all chances of him thinking like an incel if he’s at least 4-5/10 as a guy.
1. Don’t take a woman seriously unless she’s a long-term part of your life.

Her words and actions are her own.

You can’t really know anything until time reveals it. Don’t get caught up in it or her.

Either you or her could change tomorrow.
2. Life isn’t fair. People aren’t fair.

Expecting things to be equal and fair and logical because that’s how it works in movies or TV is a fairytale idea of life.

If you think what media presents to you is not primarily entertainment, you’re gonna have a bad time
