I think it's kinda sad, really, since it reminds me of all the parents complaining about their kids having "Skibidi Toilet Syndrome" after leaving their kids with Ipads and wanting the series kicked off youtube rather than making sure themselves their kids aren't being exploited for content farms or even just not letting the kids use the app without them to watch them.
I can see that a lot of these men might just be trying to come to terms with the fact that they've got no chance of winning the dating game, even if I assume that (even on this site) on this site there are probably a good few men who have come to the conclusion that a marriage will more likely than not make their life worse regardless of their own status, whether that is sour grapes thinking or not. I think the term "Incel" when used as it commonly is refers to a man that is still trying but isn't succeeding due to being unaware of his own failures as a person, hence why it is often thought to be closely related to/synonymous with the white knight, simp and "I'm such a nice guy" archetypes.
And yeah, if you had a bad relationship the first time, it's understandable someone would not want to try again.
I do think some people who dislike MGTOW see them as the same as how you see those who call themselves volcels. That being said, I don't deny there are some men (including on this site) who just aren't interested in relationships for more understandable reasons.
You know, there's something interesting I have noted about the left's reaction to X-men, which I feel to an extent applies to western superheroes in general.
While leftists who like the X-men think of them as an allegory for the civil rights movement, I've heard that those who don't like them see them as the equivalent of a white power group, or feel that they could see themselves as a master race due to how they are sometimes thought of as an evolution of humanity (I don't read a lot of X-men, to be honest, correct me if I am wrong). It's an interesting thought. Similarly, I feel that a lot of the crossing of superhero imagery with alt-right (at least, in the pejorative sense of the left's term) imagery is only really an actual thing in works that mock superhero media like The Boys and Marshall Law, since there seems to be a lot of major Marvel and DC superhero comics who go out the wazoo pandering to the left.
I did once see a headline about the Barbie movie being a Rorschach test of sorts, so I think this could be a similar situation.
I think that the term "volcel" exists for men who just aren't interested for whatever reason. Some people think they are incels who have given up, but the term sounds like it's meant to be closer to MGTOW in spirit.
You know, I have been looking for a good place to say this: I think that if we start seeing the emergence of more and more antisemites on the left due to the Israel-Palestine conflict flaring up again, it might be another blow to the narrative that the media is spreading.
Actually, there might be two warring narratives, and that just isn't good for trust in the media, as it threatens to tear the people who will listen to them apart - Basically, "if you support Palestine, you're an antisemite/terrorist sympathiser" vs "If you support Israel, you're an islamophobe/supporter of genocide".
Yeah. I heard from my brother that much of the balancing was done because they didn't want to scare away Esports players.
I did once hear that the end goal was to have 40 heroes in overwatch's lifespan, and to be honest, I think if it's this bad, then it's well past the time that they stop.
This is to say nothing of how we now have definite confirmation that they canned the PVE content they promised for years.
Hell, to follow up on this, I think that a study that actually goes into the types of games men like vs what women like would reveal such a discrepancy between two different markets - namely, it would reveal that women are more likely to play mobile games (both more than non-mobile centric women and men).
Yes, I think that it will be a lot more complicated and messy than they say it will. If anything, I imagine that one aspect they might overlook is the possibility that people would/will take advantage of the chaos to carry out criminal activity at a time when enforcement of the law would be at it's weakest, regardless of which side they ostensibly (or sincerely) collaborate with.
A few leftists have asked why we (and trump) are now against a ban on tiktok when we were good with it in the past (I think at least a few people here were good with what trump wrote up). I know how common the reverse uno card has been used in arguments a lot these days, but I feel that I could ask why Biden cancelled the original order Trump made and is now implementing something quite similar. I think a more cohesive answer is that this bill is not actually going to ban TikTok, and instead is being used to trojan horse restrictions against websites leftists don't have a considerable amount of control over.
I suspect might be wrong, feel free to say otherwise.
Much like the best of politicians, they aren't completely a foolproof plan (I've seen a few people around here say they think they allow brigading from lefty scum) but they have helped and do help people shut down a lot of the malign influence the platform has had.
I don't think they can just make people forget about them. Now that they have a name, they are trying to protect the name as well as they can. Hell, I'm surprised that they haven't just tried to pass it off as "Hey, this guy is just listing the games we worked on, use his list to find us!" which would probably not cause as much undue attention - I've seen other libs like /r/Gamingcirclejerk try to spin other lists of woke games in a positive light like that.
We should be ready to let the world know who they are if valve caves and bans the curator/user - then I think we would have an actual case against both companies. Archive/screenshot everything, and watch this space for this development for the time being.
If you're looking for gory superhero action, I might recommend watching Kamen Rider Amazons, which is pretty nasty. I've only watched the first season since I heard the second season is where the quality went down the drain.
I think I once read the Supreme Power series by Marvel on a whim one day. I remember it even had a black supremacist character (and the comic didn't portray that as a good thing at all) - a rarity even in based fiction.
As for the actual topic, I think it's worth my word that yeah, it's possible. Vox Day has written a comic series on Arktoons called Alt-Hero that pretty much fits the bill from what I know about it:

I did have a few odd ideas for a toei-style superhero series, but I don't think I have the exact resources to put them into fruition, at least not right now.
The question remains then... who?
Kamala Harris, perhaps? It seems like a possibility, especially since we have speculated that he's a trojan horse for her.
Gavin Newsom? Also a maybe, though I don't know if he's basically the left's Ron Desantis (at least in the bad terms)
Michelle Obama? I could see that too.
I think it's clear to them that too much of the public is aware of the fact that they deemed Biden unfit for trial to change the narrative, so they are trying to find a replacement as hastily as they can.
There was a meme about it a fair while back, similar to the "Don't google what dinosaur had 500 teeth" meme.
Hell, even if this is claiming to hold big tech accountable, I think we should know when it's just someone using a cause like that just for their own agenda.
