Eh, there were just more after that; people were more willing to make cartoons when it was a means to an ends. You throw enough poo poo at the wall, something will stick.

"Empathy" here is used with the assumption that if the non white males could know what the poor oppressed white males feel that they'd suddenly have alt-right beliefs too.

I don't know what MGTOW is, but it kinda looks like MTGOX so I figure they're both related to Magic: the Gathering.

Back in the 80's Reagan and the US government struck down/introduced some new laws saying that companies could advertise to kids, and cartoons no longer had to be "educational" and that is why we had a boom in shows like He-Man and Thundercats and Bravestarr and a million other shows that were around just to sell toys. I remember being a young kid and not really questioning why every episode of Masters of the Universe introduced a new character (never to be seen again) but I did question why my mom wouldn't let me get the sweet toy based on that character.

Yea free market!!

Reading this makes me think that I must have been some sort of toy connoisseur as a child. The only toys I got were badass detailed models of dinosaurs from museums and the big (maybe 10-12 inch tall) higher quality models of my favorite Spiderman characters (I read the comics as a kid). I don't remember ever thinking I needed to have any particular toy based upon what I saw on TV or a commercial, aside from stuff like game consoles.

Sometimes I feel like a loser, then I realize there are men who say they are part of "MGTOW" and it instantly makes me feel better about myself.

I was just witness to a serious breakup because the one partner doesn't work and watches tv all day and his partner is sick of supporting him, and I have a feeling that he's going to become a "mgtow" type of guy after this, and "go his own way" to sitting around and watching more tv.

I mean, I get why people with NPD would think that, obviously. And it's true that they do need professional help with their issues. That doesn't make the statement "I abused someone close to me for years, where's my support group" any less blood-curdling

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I kept misreading it as NDP and my knowledge of Canadian politics was shorting out my brain.

They are probably the most self-aware group around. Sure others have suffered because of me but, as a narcissist, where is MY support group?

The first time I read this I thought it was a breakup between two guys and I immediately wondered what the MGTOW stance on homosexuality is.
I mean, they are going their own way and ignoring feminine wiles from the lesser sex.

My Children Are Bullets: Associating Gender With Inanimate Objects:

It's a simple question; if the sword can be seen as a substitute for the phallus, why can't a gun be seen as a substitute for a womb?

And how would you do something like that?

I am totally aware that guns already are seen as penises (what with their ability to explode and discharge matter with great speed), but I want to change that.
