I have to agree with SmiggieBalls here. Your interpretation of the Manosphere is through the lens of the feminist zeitgeist in how they WANT you to interpret, via bad actors and misrepresentatives like Tate and Sneako.
-
As SmiggieBalls pointed out, Better Bachelor is a straight White male offering insight and advice to young and older men alike.
-
Rich Cooper has been one of the longer running and largest voices within the space, offering mostly sound advice for lifestyle, relationships and finances. Again, a straight White Canadian male.
-
SSM, or Strong Successful Male, is a channelk I recommend to everyone. Married or not, EVERY male needs to be watching this channel because it's stories usually written in by bloeks that highlights how a lot of men fall into the beta-male trap and get used and abused and cheated on by womn. Troy, once again, is a straight White male and runs multiple 100K+ channels.
-
Alexander Grace is another one, with hundreds of thousands of followers, making content very similar to Joker from Better Bachelor. Alexander Grace is a straight White Australian male.
-
Taylor The Fiend is yet another bloke, very prominent in the Manosphere space, highlighting the issues with relationships and the things that the young lads need to do to improve their own lives. Once again, he's a straight White Aussie male.
-
Lergion of Men has nearly half a million followers, focuses on self-improvement, pointing out the issues from the Tiny Hat Commission and the gynocentric issues propped up by the zeitgeist. Bo Refec is another straight White male.
-
Effective Purpose is a fast-rising Christian Manosphere channel, focusing on all of the red pill content from a Biblical perspective. This channel has also inspired multiple other small channels to pop up in the straight White male Christian space, many of whom I've been subscribing to lately. He's also a straight White Canadian male. Although, his biggest sin is engaging in miscegenation.
If you only follow the content creators talked about by the zeitgeist, then you will get a completely distorted view of the Manosphere. But follow the actual straight White males in the Manosphere space and they offer helpful, enlightening and wise advice for younger and older lads alike on how to improve your health, your workout regiment, and how to be aware of the games and tricks that wenches play.
Yeah this was something I noticed when I recently went back to rewatch the Dirty Harry series. The only truly based entry was the one directed and produced by Clint Eastwood himself.
The first film had a LOT of progressive elements in it, which I had not noticed before until I recently rewatched it. For instance, the main villain targets an actual nigger faggot in a faggot park, and Harry and the rest of the police force have to protect a literal niggerfaggot from being attacked by the crazy villain.
Harry is also on stakeout and notices some dyjes walking down the street, and later they show three dykes making out.
Harry's partner is also a Mexican.
That became a staple of the series -- pairing Harry with women, blacks, and Chinamen. Only the film that Eastwood directed saw ZERO DEI hires for partners, no faggotry, and nothing progressive. It was the most based entry in the series and also had his second most quoted line in it.
The propaganda was always present, but it was distributed slightly more covertly back then. Also the dialogue was more intelligent. These days everything is dumbed down and the woke elements are completely in your face.
Yeah that's what's making this so tempting and getting me a bit giddy.
While I'm rusty in the design space, I did do a little bit of template finagling some years ago in Unity just to see how easy it was to make a basic ball bounce in a 2D environment, and it was a little like starting to climb back onto the bike again, it was a lot easier than expected. But I didn't have time to go any further.
With AI at a point now where it can help guardrail proper library structures and coding development... if I run into any problems it seems like there are some AI that can help with that. Do you know which model is best for those kind of simple starting tasks?
Exactly.
This particular scenario only works based on who succeeds you.
Any one of us could come up with a ten year solution to fix the U.K., or the U.S., but it's what happens AFTER that matters most.
The long march through the institutions wasn't even something that took a decade... it took multiple generations.
The sacrifice for ten years of progress is only worth it if -- as you pointed out -- there is going to be succeeding results that mirror what you've accomplished based on who takes over next, otherwise it's an absolutely pointless sacrifice if everything you've done gets undone once you die.
This trains people to associate woke with "good"
Nearly ten years ago I said this is what would become the standard -- the new and pervasive way to inculcate the masses with Marxism.
The award institutions like BAAFTA/Academy Awards have forced it so that you have to have woke material in the movie to even be considered for nomination (same thing with games).
This means that whether you're a based writer/director or not, the studio is not going to pass up a nomination opportunity to sate your auteur sensibilities. They know that adding a tagline to a film trailer "From the Academy-nominated/winning...." adds legitimacy to the movie, director, actor, etc.
What they've done is create a hierarchy of woke that cannot be bypassed for any studio that wants in on awards-considerations, and I don't know of a studio that doesn't want that recognition for marketing purposes? So everything downstream executive decisions -- whether the execs are woke or greedy -- will end up being affected by woke regardless.
Worse yet, is that as you stated -- every normie will eat this up because [insert favourite actor/director/brand/franchise/etc. here] is being released and they have to go see it, even though the trailer is rife with tells that it's been compromised with the woke virus.
Woke will not only become the standard of all media going forward, but every other normie out there will be defending it because -- as you said -- they've been trained with a Pavlovian response to think woke is good.
Kyle MacLachlan was absolutely brilliant in the role -- he came in with a sense of mischievous wonder. It was a tough role to pull off to both portray a character who understands the world but has a sense of awe and wonder about how it works so he's both explaining to the audience and being explained to by other characters the necessary information the audience needs to know in order to understand the worldbuilding.
That movie was actually pretty good, whether you've read the books or not, because it setup the baseline for what you needed to understand within that sci-fi universe and kept the pace moving at a rapid clip to try to get everything in as quickly as possible within its runtime.
There were issues for sure, but there were some absolutely epic moments, too. Paul riding in on the Shai-Hulud near the end was cinematic mastery.
Plus, Sting was cool in that flick -- he didn't have to say or do much to come across as a right sodding prick in that film, and it worked.
I was thinking about Unity -- rasterising the images and dumping them on a cell sheet and making it in 2D. I also already have Unity installed on another machine (or at least I did -- I would have to go back and check).
I haven't done any proper coding in over 25 years, so I wanted to keep it simple (if I get that far) and focus on a style of game that can be contained within a tight-knit mechanical focus
However, thanks for the tip about Tripo3D, because I may experiment with that option to see how things turn out once I see how the workflow unfolds with generating all of the assets.
Okay... was no one else expecting a chimpout based on how the video started?
Where they survived for an extended period without food, water, or infrastructure?
To be fair, they did show a short sequence where Bane's men were lowering buckets of food and supploes down to the police in the tunnels.
But the lack of facilities to take a dump would have killed them, even if they did have food and water. None of them could have survived three months living in the feces of several thousand grown men.
You have no idea how hard I laughed out loud at this comment.
Wow that is really impressive.... REALLY impressive.
Not only was everything interactive but you could even save files to your own hard drive. I grabbed a few of those backlground images and added them to my active background cycle.
It's exceptionally responsive too. I was surprised at how quickly everything opened up. It was actually FASTER than a lot of my own desktop apps on my workstation.
With a bit of cleanup you could technically use that OS for actual productivity.
That's frighteningly good.
Mate, did you ever stop to consider that if America just wiped Israel off the face of the planet none of the "terror" attacks would even happen against anyone outside of that war-torn region?
Zipper Tits sounds like a supernatural villain in human form from a Clive Barker novel.
They're the only ones making good models that actually look and feel like they're worth the time... the itch has been super strong to start creating a workflow for a game. Sadly, China's AI models are just so far superior for creating quick assets you can plug into existing pipelines.
I was just messing around with some assets for character sheets based on already existing drafts from decades ago -- and in seconds I had fully rendered profiles based on poorly coloured scanned sketches that ended up looking EXACTLY how I had envisioned they should look when modeled in 3D.
Even as a test concept, I could use those demo assets to buld out working animation spec sheets. I also notice that unlike Western AI models, the Chinese models don't try to turn every character into a groid.
Oh absolutely. I do that every time they bring up using AI as their fact-check. It definitely needs to become more widespread, though.
Of the many things I despise, people deferring to AI summaries as a "fact check" ranks as one of the highest.
The amount of young idiots I've encountered who retort with, "According to the AI...." has deeply saddened me. Google was already a few keystroikes away from giving you whateer answers you wanted, but now today's youth are so fried and lazy, they need a hallucinatory conduit to summarise the answers that are a click away.
I haven't read the story yet -- but let me guess... he was a 'groid?
This is very true. When I recently indulged in The Neverending Story again a few years back it had a WHOLE different meaning than when I saw it back when it first came out. The existential crisis of adulthood paints a very different picture of what Ende was rightly trying to get across.
Yes, that's very true... my issue with half-KIA, though, was that thery didn't mind promoting woke games or creators so long as they met some arbitrary standard of not being "too woke".
They also were pretty heavy supporters of feminism, which I've developed a deep enmity for. They would oftentimes say "[insert wave of feminism] wasn't that bad and it was only [insert different wave of feminism]" that was a problem". They were always constantly ceding ground not to appear as "racist", "sexist, etc.
It was hard to browse, because it was tough not completely trashing the feminist, race-baiting, woke-slop that would sometimes appear over there and all of the users who supported it.
Funnily enough, half-KiA back on plebbit still has about 50 times more traffic than this place and actually posts discussions and articles about games, comics, movies, anime, and combating wokeness in them.
Before I stopped oging there for good some years ago, there was WAAAAAY too many people making excuses for and justifying woke faggotry. The mods banning people who actually had based opinions and zero tolerance for woke faggotry had me throwing my hands up.
The whole... "but this tranny is one of the good ones!" made it impossible to argue anything in good faith. Having to tiptoe around not offending the tranny janitors and tranny-supporters in that sub was a bridge too far.
Acquiescing to any of that faggotry is pure bollocks and I cannot imagine that since then it has become more based and less accepting of the Left's long march to inculcate every aspect of society with their Marxist manure.
I don't know how true this is, but in the dev circles the rumour is that Microsoft will be ditching id Tech 7 for the vastly inferior UE6 because they let go of the programmers in the engineering department. If that's true then it's pure bollocks and a repeat of CDPR ditching Red Engine for the inferior UE5 after firing all of their engine programmers (or they quit).
Jeets pumping out asset-slop on UE6 at id Software will be rich... real rich.
Fans should take a big sigh of relief then.
If it is on Netflix, beware of the second season curse.
Yup, Paul Rudd is actually Paul Joseph Rudnitzky. I didn't know he was Jewish until I watched an episode of Between Two Ferns.
Holy snaps, how could I forgoet the original grandfather of the red pill? You're absolutely right. YT likes to keep unsubscribing me from Rollo, but yeah, add those two.
Plus, I forgot about Rageholic's Doppelkreuz channel, which is a red-pill Christian channel.
and G-Man Speaks, but he has to keep recreating his channel because YT loves to take his content down. Another straight White Aussie bloke with his head on right.
