I'm sure performative empathy and telling him how his life is so bad is so much more helpful. It certainly won't lock him into a cycle of self loathing and never being able to move on.

But don't you see, he has NO FRIENDS.

Except 2. Because 2 friends is such a horrifically lonely number that we can't possibly understand his pain.

He literally was on his stream last year and walked into his father's room and shot him with a toy gun while he was streaming as well.

When he does, its been foreshadowed harder than anything else we've ever seen.

Are we going to magically transform his father into a better man and send him back in time to fix the situation? When prevention fails you don't just throw up your hands and ignore those who fall throw the cracks.

The damage is already done, so now we move to the recovery. Which is to help him become the man he clearly wants to be. And part of that is escaping his teenage angst of thinking his problems are world ending and special and that everyone must stop to acknowledge them.

So you had people around you that were in the same boat as you were.

Nah, just guys who have the same situation who lived nearby. We didn't have a "parents are junkies" club and became all good friends in bonding. Most hated each other and would tear each other down just to feel like their situation was slightly less horrific.

During the age of the internet where he's constantly reminded about how messed up his parents are and how messed up his childhood is/was.

Because small towns where literally everyone knows everyone's business at all times never remind you constantly about how fucked your situation is, unlike the internet where you can just turn the screen off nigga.

Have some empathy

Ah yeah, because "having empathy" helps men's problems so much. We should teach all our teenage boys that the real world will totally care about their big sad boy problems everytime they want to have a cry about how hard they had it.

I have empathy for his situation. Its why I have my strong opinion on it. And that opinion is the sooner he learns that no one cares about him and his pain, other than to use against his father, the sooner he actually becomes the man he wants to be. He is lost in his self loathing, and needs to let that go before he can actually grow into a proper adult, and coddling that with "oh you poor baby, you had it so hard" keeps him from doing so.

I'd agree with you if not for this bit:

it is everyone’s fault but mine.

I don’t have any actual friends, only 2, I don’t have any plan for my life, and I don’t care, I just don’t care about anything anymore

These are not things that he can just throw off any responsibility for. Sure his parent's failure heavily contributed to it ending up being on his shoulders instead of having support and help to do so, but at the end of the day its your life and your decision to live it.

In fact, if he was forced to grow into a man already as much as he claims, he should already be planning his escape and life from it. That is what takes it from "healthily calling out" of his failure parents to wallowing in self pity for ass pats.

As I was corrected after this comment, he is in fact a teenager and not a young adult like I assumed, so its normal behavior. But its also not healthy for his own sake to enable that self-defeating mindset, even if it feels cathartic to see him take down his loser parents.

Oh noooo, his dad is a degenerate loser. Surely he is the first ever to suffer that fate! He must now whine to the internet about his miserable fate like he is living in a true hell that can never be escaped from.

I was corrected further down that he was 14, having mistakenly assumed he was older. So my position changed from "grow up" to "stop acting exactly like your dad if you hate him so much."

That's true. Still, who is going to teach him?

Well, I would think step one would be "I hate my dad so much I want to be the opposite of him in any way." That's a self teachable lesson. Instead of following his footsteps seemingly to the T.

"You have the genes of a cocksucker" is a different line of attack

We used to make fun of kids parents who sucked dick, dad or mom, for drugs, because white trash poverty area, as kids and the difference between rolling with it and getting upset about it was night and day in terms of it stopping. Even the big tough guy beating your ass for bringing it up kept it going a lot further than a guy who just rolled off him like water. Agree and amplify, and suddenly no one cares.

That's one of the reasons I feel so opinionated on this, I suppose. Because literally everything he is pissy about is just normal for me and everyone I grew up with. Except we also were one bad day from being homeless and had to assemble toys from scrap metal. So its a whiny privileged kid being big sad, rather than some tragedy.

It was very amusing how he outright admitted that he didn't agree with any of us on any of our points, but thought we would care about the ethics of his dick pic being used to harass him and would support him on that on principle.

A real mask off moment of the liberal mind.

A new one too, he's 14 years old.

Noted, I thought he was like 22 after hearing about him through Destiny related drama for so long. Should have double checked on that, my bad.

Still, my point remains that he should be taught that he isn't "becoming a man" if he even thinks about posting these kind of whiny rants, but a pathetic faggot just like his father. Like this feels just like the rants Destiny used to post on KIA1 without the dressed up language.

he also has to deal with people sending him videos of his dad sucking dicks.

If you agree with them your dad is a faggot loser, and was an absentee figure, with a laugh that kind of bullying moves on quick. That kind of thing only sticks around if they know you care about your dad and are hurt by his improprieties.

Unless of course everyone knows you only get anywhere because you are still living off daddy's money and using it as your claim to fame. Which he, and everyone around him, knows is the case. So of course it will be made worse.

This is a man who would have watched his woman be raped right there and still made excuses for his ideology not being wrong but done wrong.

My mixed race schooling went so well for everyone involved we just re-segregated it. Either by gerrymandering the district line to make All X schools or by high school just two halves of one campus.

But that's among the real groups of various races, and not whatever upper class immigrants he went to school with back when crossing the border meant money and status for most of them.

Her conclusion was it is the governments fault for not integrating and not the mass immigration itself.

Assimilation literally only works through overwhelming external pressure to conform to survive. Its the reason why they say to learn a new language you should just go live somewhere where its spoken primarily and you will get it faster than years of flashcards.

By all means, for it to work they have to be a minority and a small one at that so they can't cluster up to form their own little enclave to escape said pressures. Mass migration cannot ever lead to assimilation even if the government did everything it could and right (lol).

Literally everything about Destiny's personal life shows what a failure of his ideology is. From his son to his constant philandering to his never ending narcissism to existing literally as a pitbull to destroy his side's enemies through empty debating.

the problem is that I had to grow up without one concurrent, present father in my life while being berated and yelled at by my mom constantly

So like half of the dysfunctional kids in America, except he had a shit ton of money and stability to fall back on from that father regardless. Most of them had zero dad to even meet and a mom on all the drugs possible, so he is doing quite well relatively.

I want to feel for the kid, because that does destroy your world mentally and the money doesn't make all of that go away either. But whining like this says he didn't "become a man" in the slightest because he is playing victim like a teenager still. He isn't mentally stronger, he just broke himself in a way to stabilize.

However, I'm going to guess this will absolutely work for him. Because he is "famous adjacent" so girls will line up to fuck him and justify it with his little emo sad boy nonsense. Literally whining about how awful his dad is while coasting by on his dad's coattails.

Terry gets a pass for anything.

I didn't say those non-gay dances were automatically great, only that they weren't inherently gay.

Its a movie using a character people don't care about much anymore, from another DCEU reboot at the bottom of anyone caring about capeshit, a month removed from its release, constantly posting clips about "look what other character is in the movie!!" with their actor and the movie name attached.

Its absolutely a marketing campaign trying to shill up hype for a movie that came and went without a peep of care.

Krypto is one of those things that keeps Superman from being anything but a joke, and this scene alone shows why. Even with a ridiculous budget, it looks ridiculous and undermines whoever is on the receiving end of him (because we know the precious doggo won't get seriously violently hurt in any fight).

He is a fine character in a comedic work or spinoff version, DC is riddled with those and they have their place. But the fact that Gunn chose to use him from the very first trailer tells me how little I'd care about this movie.

One of my buddies growing up became a male cheerleader entirely to get chicks, and, while he was successful in that regard, it also turned him into a solid brick of a man because his entire life became throwing girls in the air and then catching or supporting their entire weight while never shifting his own. Thin or not, they were still 100+lbs.

Its genuinely impressive what it can do, but its a foundational role designed to diminish the attention on you. The exact opposite of what a flaming faggot wants.

He wanted to show that dancing could be masculine and didn't make you a sissy.....

Gonna be honest. The only two types of dances I've seen men do that aren't automatically gayer than gay are the "passion" heavy ones that are about one step removed from just fucking your girl right there on the floor, and the extremely aggressive shit niggers do that seems closer to angrily fighting someone imaginary than "dancing." Neither of which I think "traditional tough guys" should be doing.

Breakdancing and other similar types I suppose are quite impressive, but that's a whole different ballgame.

People really do like to forget that nearly every football playing black has devoted his entire life to that single basket and will have literally nothing if it doesn't work out. For a black guy, they truly believe the only way to succeed in life and get out the ghetto is basketball/football or rap and has spent every moment since he was like 8 working on one or more of those.

White guys usually do not do something that retarded, because they can't just become welfare parasites for the rest of their life if they fail, and as such lack that "do or die" edge that most blacks have. Both in terms of working at it constantly and willing to risk CTE to make it happen.

Its been like 20 years for me (god its been that long since it aired), so literally all my memory of her as a character is "fly in and try to hit them with a mace."

While its a neat bit of knowledge about a niche anime, I do agree somewhat. The only relevant part of the article is "China claims to have a working artificial womb!"

Once we have those its basically nothing to just shove it in a machine, until we reach the point where those clankers are living free lives among us and then the moral quandary will be relevant.

There is a limit to how much you can throw violence and depravity at a problem and make miracles happen anymore than you can with infinite money.

We know for a fact China is using slaves or worse and doing "evil scientist" level shit, and they still feel the need to paper tiger lie (with confirmation on most of them being false) about something new like this almost every week. Which tells us its always a lie, because if it was true they'd never shutup about it and it wouldn't only be in China.
