I'm willing to give some of them the benefit of the doubt, guys like Sargon of Akkad for example.
The YT comment section on the recent Lotus Eaters segment on the "Good Morning texts" girl breakup video kept pointing out that Carl was giving dad energy advice to constantly validate women's need for attention with random acts of kindness while caring for stepchildren himself. Which is pretty much the most beta thing a man can do - raise another man's children.
Yeah it's true, but the thing is, he is actually a dad and he's from an older generation so I don't hold that against him. What I hate though are the absolute grifters like Matt Walsh who bash video games and tell men to get married to these women while never addressing what they do to drive men away in the first place.
If they did, maybe they might be able to get women on the right track and treating men right. The feminists were always a lost cause but there's a lot of normie women out there who buy into feminist ideology and are pretty brainwashed. That's not even the worse part though, many of the family values grifters and tradcucks often turn out to not be wholesome people at all and are either ousted as closet fetishes or they have broken marriages that they eventually admit to once the grift gets exposed or they run out of clout.
I didn't know he was a stepdad either, I will point out though and it may be difficult for people to believe but I'm obviously going to be vague on details I've known about a couple who both got out of pretty shit relationships and they ended up remarkably stable. Guy had a legitimately insane ex and woman had a breakup, yes they're both dealing with step children but they've also raised a proper family of their own. To the point where it drives the guy's ex even more mental which is pretty hilarious.
Now don't get me wrong, I get the argument because they're probably doing it from the line of never take on a woman with other children. At the same time though if that woman's genuinely quality and had bad luck which does happen sometimes. So I'm not going to judge too hard on that, for all we know Carl probably has been through some major shit himself and he finally found a woman that wasn't mentally unstable.
Again though, this is why I don't hold it against him, he's being a dad and especially if you're taking care of daughters or whatever you're going to give them the benefit of the doubt. That's just another aspect I frequently rant about of how the Generation X'ers are totally out of touch and not really the best people to be talking about this.
One thing that I find extremely jarring because Connor was calling him out in that segment too. How often you see 'dating' videos and shit like that and it's almost always by older men or women and they never go out and actually ask the men in the age bracket that they're talking about why they don't date anymore. It's a bunch of people who have nothing to do with the situation making a ton of extremely loaded assumptions even by my standards.
Which being blunt, I think it's fair to post this is why this managed to set off gamers hardcore when the Conservatives decided to join in on the gamer bashing at the same time as the leftists with GamerGate 2.0 kicking off.

I couldn't confirm it though.

Weird, I can't see your reply in the thread, only my inbox.
TBH, I don't really care that much if Benjamin is a stepfather or not.
I simply thought it was an interesting line of ad hominem criticism.
