an heroed within a 12-hour shift?
You know that specific panic and despair feeling when you as a kid did something you immediately regretted and knew would have extreme consequences? Like breaking the TV or your buddy's leg, where you actually believed your dad might kill you when he gets home?
I think only a 12 year old could speed run a "gotta kill myself, life is ruined" that fast because of that overwhelming feeling without the experience and maturity to realize they aren't in fact ruined that even a kid a few years older might have.
The only unbelievable part is, as you say further down, them being successful in doing so. Unless they just jumped off a bridge or shot themselves its hard for even grown adults with planning to succeed that easy.
They have been from the moment cellphones were available. Kids are stupid and easily manipulated even by their own peers.
One of the hardest parts of society is balancing protecting kids while also realizing that a bunch of teens in puberty will take the worst possible choices with whatever means they can, and nothing short of locking them in a box can stop it.
but young women somehow are slipping through the cracks even harder
They are literally suffering from success. They have everything they could ever want with very little restrictions, and it overwhelms them. They never learn how could they have it, they never learn self control or discipline (because this will never end right?). And even if someone does point this out to them or try to properly raise them, they can just ignore it because literally every aspect of society is saying otherwise.
It would almost be enough to give them sympathy, if the solution wasn't as simple as saying no. Compared to men being offered nothing, and having to fight for scraps.
Chapelle has always been a sensitive little bitch, and that dates back to his earliest fame with his show. Wherein he, by his own admission, got mad that white people were laughing too hard at the "racism" he was using as comedy. That he was successfully bringing people together by laughing at the ridiculous stereotypes of our own groups, that upset him on a visceral level.
People gave him a big pass because the trannies tried to cancel him over saying some rather solid things against them at a time when no one could, but he has always been a big Black first guy in all ways and that means he 100% will always default to Leftie positions.
I know I bring it up a lot, but the South is filled with blacks. Enough to have entire towns/counties/parishes of 80%+ of the population.
So while they assuredly got unfairly given leg ups over people in the rest of the country for DEI nonsense, most of these businesses exist in these ghetto towns where people would actually be dead if somebody wasn't running a bunch of the businesses and black racism assures you that its gonna be another black.
Sure, most of those businesses are the 15th Salon, the 30th Daiquiri stand, and another fucking fried chicken restaurant. But it is actual negros running them.
Australia literally made Covid camps to send people to die for not complying with their absurd rules about that.
Anyone who still lives there after that is a fool who would happily comply with whatever slap in the face their government gives them, or an idiot who deserves to be abused as such.
Meaning if you dont specifically opt out, your automatically opted in
I don't know about Canada, but most of the time in the US even if you "opt out" they will just ignore that part and take your stuff anyway if they want it.
a ton of shaming for any woman who dared step outside the lines
Let's be honest, there is intense shaming for anyone who stepped out of line. They are collectivist to begin with, and are extra so on top of that compared to most other collectivist societies. Its why their work culture is so horrific for almost no gain for anyone, the company doesn't get extra productivity and the worker is broken over time, other than tradition. On top of the many other troublesome parts of their culture's negative side.
Not that those negatives negate the good, but its not something we should strive to emulate for a whole host of reasons even if certain parts are much better than our own.
Praying for you and yours
Same to you, my guy. We are doing well here, the struggle is just trying to be the best I can in this hell world we live in.
But you forget yourself good sir. Scandinavia, especially Sweden, was supposed to be the shining example of the Perfect Utopia they were using to say how much Progressive Politics made everything perfect. Its why every single year those studies say they are the "happiest" in the world and ultra feministy and this and that.
Saying otherwise undermines their entire Globalist agenda and its why they have been so particular about those nations in particular.
Remember that Tim Pool only rose to his current popularity in the first place because Trump talked shit on one of them in 2016, and he went there to prove it (I think to prove him wrong but semi-open minded) and got to see the Arab Warzones first hand.
No amount of money and technology can defeat the ravages that doing evil, and knowing it, will do on your body. You might live forever but you will always end up looking like Palpatine.
Physiognomy didn't come about from people just being racist, our caveman ancestors figured out that people developed these looks from doing bad things and it happened often enough to become instinctual knowledge.
but calling "ecchi manga" something you read
And nobody said anything about ecchi except one guy in a completely different chain recommending a single series he liked. Manga has a huge fanservice problem of varying levels, and he is being honest and I doubt he would fault you for saying "that's too much for this kid." We are almost all adult men here, not teen girls; asking for suggestions is going to be most of us scrapping the barrel for the least bad we know of.
This chain, however, has been guys calling "romance" in general erotic and pornographic. Which might be true on some deeper level of philosophizing, but its also impossible to prevent girls from consuming romance just out of natural predilection. There is no conceding, its appealing to what normal girls enjoy and finding a healthier outlet for it.
There is a difference between letting your son watch an action movie like Transformers and one like a bloody war film. Both are scratching the same natural itch, but one is more suited to his age and attempting to bar him from it does nothing helpful for his development while the other is rightfully too much for him to handle.
Which, again, is the entire purpose of this topic. Finding something appropriate for the age presented. Not conceding to "let her see a little fuckin'" but maybe find a series about characters having a wholesome romance.
If it's so easy why is society going to hell?
Because everything is fucked, TPTB have made every form of parenting abuse or propaganda'd people into not doing, and every single form of media has been so thoroughly pozzed that you need to do extreme vet work before a kid sees it every time.
I didn't say it was easy, trust I know its fucking not and I'm struggling with it every day of my life with my own. But its necessary, no matter how hard you have to do it for your children or else you forfeit the right to say you actually raised them. No matter how hard or easy society makes it for us, the task remains the same when it comes to your own children and you can't just throw up your hands and let it go if its overwhelming.
Not every culture takes it to the extreme of moern Weimerica's near-worship of the criminal negro and utter hatred of responsible White fathers, but it's close
Well that's one reason why people are turning to Eastern media like manga in the first place, because it still has its refuges free of that stuff. You can't defeat women's nature, but you can at least try to raise them to be better than a beast that operates purely on instinct. Part of that comes with what they consume and how the lessons it imparts rests on their memory.
I don't have the "solution" to this, heck I doubt any generation ever really felt they did. But you can help them take away things better from what they consume than just the pure hedonistic instinct, even the Woke nonsensical shit. I've watched movies people around here people decry as completely Woke with my family (you can only win so many battles) and was able to not only point out the angles but pull out the better pieces for them to remember instead of what the Filmmakers were trying for.
Because we live in the real world where they can and will not only have a chance of being exposed to it, but also can stumble upon it themselves.
Nobody was saying give them softcore porn, unless you consider all "romance" to be such (which isn't entirely wrong but not right either), but trying to just take away things they are interested in and hide them away from things just makes kids more interested in it.
Which is where topics like this come in. A man attempting to find safe things for a young girl (daughter or niece I assume) to consume that isn't completely deranged or degenerate while also appealing to her already existing interests. Something that will allow him to converse with and teach her things that she will at some point be exposed to regardless or simply have a healthy outlet for her own enjoyment.
Kids need hobbies, trying to take them all away because you are super scared they might get exposed to something baddie bad is what the parents of millenials did and we all saw how that turned out in terms of preparing them for the real world.
Heck its manga, getting kids to read should always be a thing to encourage period.
Mine was in Louisiana, which, at the time, barely even considered autism to exist and still mostly just labelled kids as "retarded, next question" instead of specifics. I think we only got it because of a bunch of stars aligning at the school he was at having a pretty high tier staffer noting him.
Regardless, every autist I've met to this day I think could have been fixed with a belt and having a real father (funny how single motherhood correlates so well with it!) as a kid.
Very true, but I can say that going to the Demon Slayer movie recently in theaters made it seem like series like that are at least bringing together boy and girl weebs in a mostly healthy setting through shared fandom, even if there might be some degeneracy under the hood.
Two works by Kawamura Taku - Kawaii Kouhai ni Iwasaretai and My Clueless First Friend are two I've found both enjoyably funny romcoms without going much into fanservice territory. Its something I'd offer to my own daughter who is similar in age if she was interested. They aren't super obscure (First friend recently got an anime like last year) but might not be super available physically either.
Its hard to really find things in that narrow range, because it either leans too safe as you said for younger kids or becomes too fanservice heavy if not downright pornographic (relatively). Especially in the Romance genre.
Might be easier to just get her hooked on One Piece or other "big shounen" series and let that run its course. She can get way invested in the background romance they all have going like most young blossoming weeb girls have throughout the ages.
So its basic evolution, meaning it will almost certainly happen to them.
Meaning your two options are to just pretend it doesn't exist and hope for the best (ask abstinence preachers how often that works out), or let the issue be raised while they are in your home and able to still be taught and give them helpful advice and proper parenting to channel it into a better chance at life.
But I know, having to actually parent seems to be offending the comment section here and society at large.
Can't lie, the AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT has been used probably 100+ times in my friend group since it came out. Its just such a perfect organic little meme.
Also, regarding the Spongebob one. My brother was diagnosed with "high functioning autism" like 25 years ago, the kind where he isn't really broken in any way beyond just being fucking weird. No savant skills, just an ability to single mindedly focus on a single thing forever without remembering the world exists (he would play level 1 of a game, finish it, then reset to play it again, for the entire month). So just an awkward but functional guy, likely a pretty good example of 80% of autists in their youth.
His father, a standard "hard work and a heavy belt" traditional man, just refused to indulge that anything was wrong with him (unlike our mother who had him in special ed classes) and raised him like a normal kid that needed extra discipline. Forced him outside, made him work before getting any hobby time, constantly bringing him into social situations.
Magically, as an adult, he is still fucking weird but is completely capable and functional. His autism is still just him being able to do the same thing forever without getting bored (and still going to competitive Melee tournaments as a Ganondorf main), but he works, dates, and is completely successful like any other young man. You'd just think he was an odd guy with nothing actually wrong with him if you met him.
Point of this long overshare is that the majority of autists are completely fixable with proper rearing, because there is nothing super mentally wrong with them that can't be overcome with discipline and personality. If we assume autism existed forever (and isn't a modern creation from our diets and environment), then that probably curbed most of it every generation. And now instead we indulge and baby them, depriving them of the necessary skills to overcome their oddities and give them an excuse to blame it on. So they get worse until they are stuck in their ways as an adult.
He also was an idealist, who likely could make his ideals reality in his own bubble through sheer charisma and patience, but would be completely helpless at the deluge of rage and toxicity in our current climate.
If he came out and said a single nice word about any right wing figure today, they'd have him strung up within the weekend. Even if that word was "let's calm down and not throw things."
if a general is good at his job, think Subutai, then I don't give a shit if he can't pass a PT test or height and weight
Personally, I think this should only apply if he was able to pass, and as such was provably capable and experienced at what he is now trying to lead.
A dude in his 50s+ can lead incredibly well despite being well past his physical prime, even if he tried to maintain it. But if he never had that prime to begin with, that's just a loser that no one should be asked to respect or listen to. Even if he is a master of all the mental parts of the job, you still need to be able to prove you are the man for the job, in a way even meatheads can understand.
Its been a literal constant gag from every "big" comedian since like 2005 that they were scared to do a show in Saudi, got offered an absurd amount of money to do so, and then got there and found them "totally normal, great people." Back then it was part of attacking Bush and the war by painting Muslims as good people, and its continued to be used as such.
I think the most famous example of this was Gabriel Iglesias getting there and finding out they apparently loved Jeff Dunham's Achmed.
If I can go on a short rant, all feelings on both of them aside, was a real bro move from him. It was at the peak of his "fucking everywhere" career, and Dunham had been getting railed for being overexposed by Comedy Central and being "racist" because of puppets like Achmed and Jose. Everyone in the comedy scene was trying to cancel him (likely out of hate for how rich he was getting), and it basically defanged a lot of that by revealing how much the people he was being "racist against" found it hilarious and loved it.
Because in all ways, stand up comedy is just a Leftist circle jerk far worse than our greater society and they cannot fathom anyone isn't just like them. Which is why they still hate on the Blue Collar Boys too.
How the hell would woman ever be desperate?
Because they have it easy, which means they fuck up their value before they can even comprehend the idea of doing so, usually before leaving high school.
A woman can't unsuck a dick, so her doing so at a club when she was a 9/10 and could pull any guy was meaningless then and is now devastating to her worth when she is 4/10. And she can barely recognize she is anything less than a 7/10 on her least delusional days, so she is desperate to find that same Abs McGee to give her attention.
Its literally one of the most well known facts about Family Matters and sitcoms in general that Urkel literally took over the entire thing and the network basically turned a standard "black family" sitcom into Urkel's Wacky Adventure Show. Its why people shit on it to this day.
Literally one of the most defining traits about Scrubs is that every female character, except Elliot sometimes, is fucking perfect and cannot be criticized for anything other than "cute" flaws. Carla never has a storyline or character arc that doesn't end with her getting her way in almost all sense, while treating literally everyone like shit (including her husband). JD's baby momma fakes a fucking miscarriage to run away from him, and when everyone finds out she still has the baby he gets guilted by everyone to "forgive her" and step up. Heck the "female Cox" Turk was supposed to have in surgery was such an unlikeable cunt that even the writers realized it and removed her from the show.
Its also incredibly noticeable that they focus in on the objectification of women, when Keith literally exists to be a himbo that never gets much character beyond "hot but dumb" after his introduction. He is used, mistreated, and literally abused constantly and its treat like a total joke because he isn't smart enough to get it.
And its hilarious that try to toss DBZ in there, as if anyone new to the series is going to watch it over Kai which fixed the one single flaw they put it in this list for. DBZ is at this point reserved solely for those of us with good tastes for the superior Faulconer soundtrack and fun pure filler episodes while Kai exists for "I just want the canon story!" fags.
