I love when they rant about things like video games and comics being "ruined" by women too. Because you know, it's not like some of the best comics have been written or drawn by women, or that women have worked in game development for as long as anyone else. Or that women have been consuming these things as long as they have inoffensively.

Things have gone from 100% for them, to 99% for them, and the loss of that has just incensed them. Women are there to produce content in silence and out of the way. the instantly they started to actually become visible they took it on an assault on the very fabric of the things they like. Like how has comics, video games, tabletop or ccgs been destroyed by women enjoying then and being involved with their creation or just enjoying them.

Though I honestly would love them to just once point out something that has been taken away from them because of women. Slightly changing Tracers pose in Overwatch does not count.

It's not like they have entire goddamned closed room meetings about this poo poo and people who are assigned to come up with it. No, no, you and your little idea you farted out with your friends, is surely something they NEVER THOUGHT OF before, and all you need to do is let them know and surely, success is on the way!

My neighbors daughter is acting in something that 'could totally get put on Bravo, we think!' but it's really just some dumb kids putting on superhero costumes and then they will be awkwardly pushing it on people who don't really want it. I feel super bad but I hope at least something comes out of the experience for her, some connections or something.

Seriously, how do people think TV gets made?

Probably a combo of untreated mental issues and never being taught coping skills. They suck at playing with the other kids and/or have some underlying emotional issues, so they end up retreating into escapist fantasy media to make themselves feel better.

Then suddenly these women/other races/gay people start coming in and saying that the one thing they like in life is bad, and now it's harder to enjoy wobbly DoA tits or whatever without that niggling doubt of "wait, is this bad? Should I stop this?" Suddenly, the one escape from a poo poo life is tainted. (It's not that they necessarily have bad lives, just that they probably have mental issues that make them incapable of understanding that their lives are not poo poo.)

Of course, it's fairly simple to learn to deal with "yeah, parts of this suck, but I still like this other stuff," or even "yeah, this thing is bad, and I get that, but I still enjoy it," if you know how to cope with problems. A lot of these guys have been taught to just suppress their emotions or to get mad instead of figuring out a healthy solution.

So you get whiny babies who don't know how to deal with reality or ambivalence, and decide they need to destroy the thing disrupting their comfoy bubble.

A vast majority of them are the loner nerds in school who got bullied/ostracized for being loner nerds, which set off a vicious cycle of retreating from social interactions, which made them worse at it, which made them easier to ostracize, which..,etc. So they gave up on the whole thing and formed new communities on the internet with other loner nerds. Then the internet/videogaming/etc got big and popular enough that societal norms are starting to be imposed, which comes off to them like their old schoolyard enemies are attacking them again. With an extra-thick (and crusty) layer of sexual frustration now, since they'd already fallen off the emotional development wagon by the time serious relationships would've happened.

drat, the post got deleted before I could screen cap it.

Anyways, some MRA shithead was complaining about Scarlet Witch not having her original costume in the movies because "Marvel is just making these to appeal to SJW nitwits" and when people were mocking him and yelling at him he is all "See, you're all angry at my truth bomb, so therefor my opinion is the right one". Because when someone is angry they're automatically wrong, and smug and calm means you automatically win.

I see that a lot really, people saying horrible bigoted poo poo acting like they are operating from calm logic and intelligence, while the emotional animals are just frothing at the mouth, but you see my ironclad logic of "most people in jail are black, so therefor blacks are more prone to be criminals" must be true. Oh look there you are yelling racist at me, but who's using facts here? "tips fedora, swirls untouched cheap bourbon in a glass and chomps on unlit cigar/vape rig that looks like a sonic screwdriver"

Ironically this closed mindedness is what will ultimately kill any art form. I saw a trailer for some XBox One game on Twitter the other day that was essentially just guns and bullet time. The Matrix came out 17 years ago and because there's a subset of nerds who haven't moved on in all that time, we get millions spent on this garbage in a medium that's poised to do so much more.

I remember being very confused when Quantum Break started hitting. Not because of anything about it as a game--I knew literally nothing about it as a game until looking it up just now--but because despite all the marketing they put towards it, nobody seemed excited about it before or after release. It just sort of... happened, and that's both the best and worst that can be said about it.

Looking at it though, holy poo poo is it dated as gently caress. It immediately makes me think of Watch_Dogs, which was similarly tryhard-cool but based its entire appeal on things that haven't been cool for over a decade. There are many reasons we don't look fondly upon Watch_Dogs, and that's one of the bigger ones.

I'm a 19 year old male MGTOW. Why, for me this is just phase, because my situation is very tricky, I come from a very conservative Arab Muslim family here in london, I left Islam when I was 17 after reading deeply into the religion, before I left I was extremely religious just like my family. I still live with my family and I have to fake pray 5 times a day, fast ramadahn, go to friday prayers etc, obviously since my family is extremely religious, for me to get a girlfriend and keep it on the lowkey without getting disowned is extremely difficult. Once my parents had a go at me for talking to a girl on the way from school... But either way, so my main objective right now is to get solid A's, secure a solid UNI, become financially independent, and really focus on myself, hit the gym, maximize physical and mental health, reading self-development books etc and really educating the poo poo out of myself, then I want to leave my house and go live on my own, and leave on a good note, I don't plan on telling my parents about my apostasy, ever in my life, then from there I want to get a good career, not some lovely 9-5, and hopefully find a girl that is NAWLT, someone who I think understands, loyalty, honesty and commitment. Basically 8-10 years of monkmode. I don't have any friends, mainly because I value real friendship and most people around me are fuckboys, who don't know what a real friendship/bromance looks like, so most people around me I'd call them acquaintances. Unfortunately we live in a hypersexualised society where being in a relationship and having sex is basically the epitome of life, literally. after leaving religion I went through a phase of suicidal thoughts, and severe depression, where I could no longer cry, but I'm over that now, and now I value my life more than ever, but for me life Isn't about sex and overloading my brain with dopamine like an animal in the jungle, for me its about the pursuit of knowledge, learning about the universe, pioneering the world, making discoveries, and really get in touch with the fine tuning of the universe, and enjoying and appreciating this gift of life, that I waited 12 billion years for, without all the bullshit, without any strings attached, or the government constantly pestering me with taxes, without feeling like a meaningless statistic, I want to explore the earth, and explore its natural beauties. Don't get me wrong I'm straight and I love women, but women in my opinion have their own time, I don't need to get into a relationship or have sex, but right now I'm in my prime where what I do now will set the tone for the rest of my life. But what is really loving me up, is seeing how girls my age around me, the nice pretty innocent girls that I grew up with, the girls that are getting into prestigious universities, golden triangle uni's, getting straight A's in their A-levels, the ones that I thought were girlfriend material, have become sexually liberated, cock-carouselling bitches, I don't have social media, but sometimes I see what people that I know are up to via twitter since you don't need an account, and the girls are casually and regularly posting porn tweets, of 10/10 Chad-looking men plowing the poo poo of some slag, The red pill is loving real., a lot of them are casually subscribed to porn pages, that have over a million followers, like what the gently caress, these people have no chill, and I'm loving shocked, I personally am a nofapper, I wholeheartedly believe in the art of semen retention hence I try my best to my moderate porn usage, to maximize time I have to focus on bettering myself, but holy loving poo poo I'm not here to judge, but seriously my generation is hosed, there is no loving way I will ever commit to a girl in my life, there are no good women anymore, I no longer want to delude myself with bullshit fantasy expectations of being in a loving and romantic relationship. gently caress dating, I'm opting out, finding NAWALT is not going to happen. Just to also mention, I'm not ugly, I'd consider myself a 7, and no, I don't have a micropenis. Finding mgtow was one of the best things for me. Ask me any questions, I hope I didn't sound boring. Thanks for reading. P.S worst loving thing is, hijabi girls posting islamic quotes, with a side of porn.
