It really has very little to do with men "being owed sex" by women. Most men don't really believe they're owed sex by women, or anyone for that matter. The big issue is that society has placed such an emphasis on premarital sex and random hookups and casual sex that young men are beginning to feel like if they aren't having sex they are missing out on an integral part of life, which is not the case.
Sure, there are definitely men out there who truly believe that women are simply there to please them and be their slaves, but that is not the case for the vast majority of men, even so-called incels. They have simply been led to believe that sex is an amazing, huge part of life, that it is integral to a normal life and, while it is important to a healthy relationship, it's not necessary to live a normal life.
It also comes back, in a way, to the destruction of traditional masculinity. If they can convince millions of men that sex is the only thing that matters, that it is the most important part of a relationship and of life, then that's all they're going to care about. They're not going to focus on other things such as learning new skills or trade or bettering themselves in some other way.
Of course, the funny part of all this is that by convincing men that sex is the only thing that matters, they are completely reducing women to only being important in a sexual way. Although, I suppose that's part of the plan too. After all, we can't have women being motherly figures or caring individuals in a household or in life in general. We have to have them choose careers that debase them and destroy their mental well-being. It really is all connected I guess. The destruction of the family unit, the destruction of traditional masculinity, the destruction of traditional femininity, the sexualization of children... It really does circle back to the destruction of traditional values in a way that lets them swoop in and replace traditional morality with some sort of perverted new age "progressive" morality.
Anyway, that's my $0.02
Thr source material doesn't really matter, I just love learning about the lore and mythology of various settings, so anything from LOTR to WH40K to TES would work.
Hell, the channel doesn't even need to be anti-woke, just being apolitical is good enough.
Specifically their collected short stories. There's a new collection coming out (Leaves of a Necronomicon) and, as a Lovecraft fan, I'm interested. But, as someone who realizes that modern entertainment is overrun by woke cringe-lords, I'm cautious. I can link to the book in question if need-be.
According to his daughter via Facebook...
"Love you always Dad....❤
"See ya next time I see ya" 😘
January 3, 1948 - May 11, 2022 😢💔"
For those of you who may be unaware, Randy Weaver was involved in a stand-off with federal agents in 1992. Several members of his family were killed, as was their family dog...all because he didn't appear in court. RIP.
My boys loved the books when they came out, reading them constantly, so of course they want to see the movie. Given modern Hollywood--especially kids movies--I'm a bit worried the movie will be full of woke crap. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks in advance.
I've been recommended "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell" and was looking for some thoughts on Neal Stephenson, the author. You guys seem to be pretty on point with these things, so I figured this was a good place to ask.
The most "woke" part is a line from Catwoman, and it really makes her seem naive. The themes of the movie honestly seem almost "anti-woke".
For example, a major theme seems to be that we shouldn't be shackled to the wrongdoings of our ancestors, nor should we be punished for them. Another theme is that celebrity/hero worship is a bad thing. Finally, we're presented with the idea that a person can make a terrible mistake and still be a good person, which runs directly against cancel-culture. There even seems to be a message about how strong male figures are important in a child's life, which is just about as far from woke as one can get.
It's a different superhero movie to be sure, but it's not woke. At least not in my eyes. It's a mix of noir detective stuff and more traditional superhero tropes. Think "Seven" meets "The Dark Knight" and you're almost there.
I honestly think people were actively looking for wokeness (and who can blame them?) but that may have made them see woke aspects when, in reality, there really weren't many to be seen.
Probably surprising no one here, Afterlife is miles ahead of the Fembusters. It's well written, fairly genuine, and actually kinda humorous. It's a bit heavy on the fan service, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. My kids enjoyed it and I did too. Recommended.
"Domestic terrorist" and "traitor" are the new "Nazi".
Seriously, they are thrown around in the exact same fashion as Nazi was. Just ignore it and carry on.
I'm worried about this for obvious reasons, but I'll be damned if the trailer, and the director's breakdown of said trailer, don't make me a bit optimistic. The fact that the director is Reitman's son is also a good sign. Again, I'm worried because I know how Hollyweird likes to shit up old franchises, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Anyone else have hopes or concerns?
They specialize in documentary/non-fiction videos. My family loves documentaries but, streaming services being what they are, I'm hesitant to subscribe. Anyone have experience with them?
Religious horror in particular is of interest to me, as is found footage, but I'm open to any suggestions.
Stuff like Tolkien or C.S. Lewis are obvious, but other authors, movies, music, or entertainment might not be as well known.
So, how about a thread that lists some recommendations for things untouched by modern insanity?
It's similar to the whole "Thanks Obama" meme from years ago.
Basically it's "Ted Cruz is why <insert first world problem or minor annoyance here>". The idea is to make a joke out of people seemingly blaming him for the weather and everything else they can think of.
Some zingers include...
-Ted Cruz is why your daughter is dating that weird kid from her art class.
-Ted Cruz is why your check engine light never turns off.
-Ted Cruz is why the McRib isn't a permanent item on the menu.
Go ahead, try it out in a random thread about Cruz!
Every so often it's good to take a step back and look at what few things still unite us as humans. With that in mind, I'd like to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Festivus, and Bah-fucking-humbug to all of you assholes and bastards. Eat too much stuffing and have a good one!
Johnny Rotten was recently photographed wearing what appears to be an official Make America Great Again shirt and "punks" worldwide have decided that he isn't punk. The comments are full of some chuckle-worthy seethe and a few actually intelligent(!) posters defending Rotten.
Apparentky punk now has a dress code or something.
