No, because it’s just not related to capitalism at all. Lemmings love to blame capitalism for everything, and you see it in every bad thing in the world.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 6 hours ago:
No. That is not an effect of capitalism. That is just a fact of rural living. God, Lemmings love to blame capitalism for everything.

Fair enough, I should have been clearer. I recognize that social isolation has deleterious effects on people. The part I was dismissing was the attribution to capitalism. Capitalism does not cause this effect. Other factors are responsible.

Side 2 has not actual relevance to the problem itself. These societal tropes are not why men are having a hard time finding women. It’s just a societal trope posing as an explanation.
Side 3 is the only relevant issue. Men are constantly told they need to be more vulnerable or their masculinity is toxic, and yet when they express themselves vulnerably, they’re punished for it.
The problem is that the people touting the toxic masculinity narrative (feminists) don’t take into account how much women reinforce toxic masculinity.
The deeper problem: feminists think they represent women to a far greater extent than they actually do. The fact of the matter is that most women don’t identify as feminists, and therefore feminists are representing liberal gender beliefs, rather than most women. Don’t get me wrong: I actually agree with feminists on balance, but their messaging is garbage, divisive, bullshit. Feminism is far too consumed by misandry to effectively argue their points in a way that could persuade the majority of men and women to support them. This is why they encounter so much failure when their cause is actually 90% right.

So how do you interpret the toxic masculinity line in the middle?
- Comment on I love bpd girls 5 days ago:
She’s disordered, but it’s the man’s fault. Typical.

The new Fantastic Four movie didn’t have any political messaging in it that I could discern.

I give as good as I get. I don’t get much, I don’t give much.

No, you don’t understand my point, and that’s kind of sad, because my point isn’t that hard to grasp. I’m tired of explaining it though, so have a good night.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
I don’t like it when comics do it either. What’s your point?
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
The part where he makes aspects of the story clearly allegorical to real-world events. Are you seriously debating that he’s doing this?
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
I’ve read plenty. You just don’t understand my criticisms of this film. Not my problem.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
Nah, I don’t pander to pissants.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
I’m a liberal and a progressive, so that shows how poor a room-read you have. Come back when you have better grasp of things.

I can see you’re running out of juice, so I won’t press you further. Have a good night.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
No, actually, I think you just proved you’re the dense one.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
No, it wasn’t the whole point of the movie, it was a thinly veneered plot that mimicked and commented upon real-world events. The central themes of the film were about identity being defined by one’s choices and actions, rather than one’s genetics or parents’ wishes. Films that explicitly critique society are films like Brazil or The Manchurian Candidate, and I have no problem with them because they’re explicit in their purpose at being political commentary. Making a superhero movie that’s purpose is rebooting the DCEU and inserting a political message into it is not explicit at all.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
No, you don’t understand my point, because you think I’m talking about Superman’s “politics.” I’m talking about James Gunn’s politics and him using Superman as a mouthpiece for them. Superman doesn’t have politics in the sense I’m talking about. He’s just on the side of freedom, peace, and good. Classic moral tropes that virtually everyone supports, because without context, they’re just ideals. When you contextualize them with modern, real-world events though, they become political messaging, and that’s what I don’t like in a superhero movie.

No, I just don’t like political messaging in my superhero flicks. You’re misunderstanding my point (possibly intentionally, idk, it’s really not that complicated).
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 6 days ago:
I liked the movie, but could have done without the messaging. I dislike political messaging in media even when I agree with the message, because I’m going to said media to escape reality. I don’t need a reminder about it, and I particularly don’t need some allegorical moral instruction, like I’m some sort of child.
I think there’s a place for political messaging in film—like when it’s the explicit purpose of said film—but I don’t like it being wedged in just anywhere.

I suppose because it’s insulting to the fact that there are good games out there that actually deserve attention.
