Basically being into something because you enjoy it makes you a nerd. For some reason middle aged white women think this is a win.
Men are competitive. News at 11!
That's why we get shit done, create things and push society forward.
I can see why people whose sole achievements are drinking boxed wine, feeding a herd of cats and thought-policing people on the internet find that problematic.
And the competitiveness is actually good. When you see your friend lift weights and get bigger, you don't undermine them, you encourage that guy for getting bigger, and if you're not as big, what do you say to yourself? "I wanna be as big as my bro over here, I better step it up".
Men are able to work with each other because we know how it is like to build on the shoulders of giants. That's why male-only workplaces have less drama and are more effective at getting shit done.
What is it they (researchers) found that 80 to 90% of all published research failed peer review and was basically just published to be published as many of the academic and high end jobs require being published to stay employed.
If all your peers are as dumb or as politically-driven as you, then peer reviewing is a pointless endeavor. We're far past the point of people caring enough about their reputation to not give their approval to shoddy but useful "research".
The same research group got Mein Kampf published as a peer-reviewed article, replacing the operative identity politics keywords.
Different group, but yeah. They even named the paper "My Struggle".
Was the trio of James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose.
Lindsay and Boghossian both have Youtube channels that are worth watching. New Discourses can be pretty dense, but is extremely informative and enlightening about the literature and the mindset of the people who are currently trying to force clown world on us.
Their trick, whether intentional or incidental, is that modern society is already clown world. But threats to make it even more clownish have a way of refocusing the mind.
Someone got paid for this utterly useless study, probably with my tax dollars.
Lovely.
n = 8.
Truly, the world's largest and most representative sample size.
thanks for finding the paper. It lets us parse the reality from what women are happily telling each other about
Wow.! This "research" is literally useless!!
In other news, duh. It's mostly men who are into extreme metal. Therefore, extreme metal guitarists mostly play to impress their male audience. Not everything is about sex.
In unrelated news, pro-gamers also don't bring up their KDR as a mating tactic.
Yep a whole lotta straight men creaming their panties for Eddie on the latest season of Stranger Things. Sure are ugly straight men at that with all their makeup and titties.
Yaoi fujo coomer in action.
Yes, we know. That's why it's based.
Women seethe whenever men do anything without them.
They are jealous since only family cares about middle aged women.
Their cats really don't care about them.
I haven't read the study and doubt I will, so I'm just going to comment on the pic text.
They jump to insults about sex because sex is the only thing they can think of that has value.
Not a lie.
Metal doesn't make Money on average, and thus isn't status. So the premise fails: this activity is not centered on status, in-group or out-group. Only the joy of the art itself, can drive such behavior: a very unfeminine joyful anger... It really doesn't seem to have much to do with sex at all, so I would posit that bit is rapey self-insertion by the accusing femcels...
Not surprising if you look at the typical metal audience. It's virtually all male.
God forbid anything a man does has a motive other than trying to get laid.
Last time I read Metal Hammer (UK) was something like 20 years ago it was obvious they hated metal even then. I remember a letter posted on the readers' mail page from the guitarist of Corrosion of Conformity, calling Metal Hammer a bunch of cunts with no clue about metal because they had slagged off the concept of guitar solos in the previous issue.
Their main readership, no doubt even moreso these days, was nu metal/metalcore/crossover and grindcore-listening teens and tranny-worshippers who also hate 'extreme' metal. No surprise whatsoever that they'd print something from a worthless study just to insinuate that metallers are gay or whatever.
That's a good insight.
I'm not really sure what this is meant to imply.
