Great article on what essentially defines an NPC.

Okay, that's a pretty good line.
What the hell is even going on here in this fucking article?
This was also my feeling during my read of it. What a rollercoaster. From the constant potholes of wacky speech-only constructs, to the hyberbolic points that spanned the entire breadth of the universe, I reached the end and decided I could only save it, to study later.
Good points are there. Weird conclusions are there. Terrifying insinuations are there. All in all, it's one of the better reminders that Jessica Valenti was a piece of shit already in 2013.
Main takeaway I can muster, is that "following the crowd" is a precursor of mediocrity, but we suffer a societal neurosis that compels us to celebrate when women do exactly that. Pretty right, I think, but again, I will require further study on the many other points to form a real opinion.
Ahahaha oh shit. Literally yesterday I mentioned The Last Psychiatrist to a friend. I remarked on how I used to read the blog when he was still writing, and how in the beginning I disagreed with his conclusions - he blames basically everything ever on narcissism - but over time I realized he was actually right. I strongly recommend giving it a read, he has a weird writing style that goes all over the place, but if you can manage to get through it, he has some really good points.
I recommend the "Hipsters on food stamps" articles: https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/11/hipsters_on_food_stamps.html & https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/11/hipsters_on_food_stamps_part_2.html & https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/12/product_review_panasonic_pt_ax.html
I made it through 2 paragraphs without even knowing what was being argued.
This would have gotten an F in any of my dissertation writing courses. Failed to properly structure the introduction.
I mean. I read the first section, and got to laugh at this hypothetical exchange.
That was worth my time, but I have no clue what the thesis is here.
Reads this: 'How would you like to live in a world where men had to wear make up? "Oh, I love make up on a guy, especially eyeliner." Of course you do, you're having a stroke. Ask it this way: how would you like to be in a world where men said," oh, I feel so much better about myself when I'm wearing makeup." You'd run for the nearest totalitarian regime.'
Thinks: Huh. Reminds me of Egyptian or perhaps old Persian culture (if 300 is any indication. Boy, that Xerxes ... sure looks ... like .. a ...)
Realizes: Those civs were run by superfags. Women are only the stepping-stone in letting the total faggots take over, and there's your last stage of Universe 25/civilizational collapse from within.
