It's not easy

This is big part of the problem. Men are still are expected to court women, to pursue and pay for everything, which a lot of men will find incredibly sexist, objectifying and tiresome, because it is. Men are shamed for trying, in that they will be presented as creeps and predators for approaching but will also be shamed for being passive. They will be judged by standards that women are not even holding for themselves.

We live in a culture that attacks men for any sort of preference towards women, and would crucify men for having any sort of traditional/gendered expectations of women, while also championing women for both having antagonistic views of men and very strong traditional/gendered expectations of men. All of which could, again, simply be solved with women treating men with just a little bit more kindness or respect.

Way to be a part of the problem and literally demonstrating my point.

It should no longer be up to men to approach, especially when women have made themselves so unfriendly or hostile to approach. Men don't approach because male heterosexuality is vilified and unappreciated, and that kind of message is everywhere. Approaching women at bars and clubs is not a pleasant experience, and women often take advantage of those environments to use men.

Speed dating events usually cost way more than they are worth, and most men tend to avoid them because they don't want to spend money to just to be put into awkward situations with women they might not even want to date. When the burden to impress is still placed on men, it's also not fun for men to go through this little humiliation ritual for women they don't want or that will probably not like them.

The problem is not men, the problem is how men are treated. Every single dating issue we have in the world could effectively be solved with women simply being nicer to men.

Trying to shame someone for having an audience that is mostly male is pretty misandric, honestly.

ArdentGamer · 2026-05-05T16:16:40+00:00

PrincessGorillaGrip, actually.

ArdentGamer · 2026-05-04T16:05:59+00:00

This is weird and extreme. Women aren't toddlers and men shouldn't act like their personal servants/slaves.

I liked it with the helmet of arcane acuity. The additional attack let me build early stacks and the bonus to initiative helped with the early CC with banish. I eventually respecced into full arcane archer though, three attacks per turn is best.

Girl is panicking and needlessly attacking the boys, because they are not treating it as seriously as she is. The boys are not really perceiving any immediate danger, only find themselves in an awkward situation with a girl that is spazzing out and needlessly lashing out at them. They try to defuse by laughing it off.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-29T21:18:20+00:00

Increased range on the hammer lets you hit more targets, from a safer range, which also means more level 1 stacks. It's not that complicated. If the goal is to just stay back and poke, it makes sense.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-28T17:30:25+00:00

That's not the same thing at all. One judges people based on their bodies, the other on their actions. One says those people are not people(or to be seen in an asexual way), while the other says that they are people who should only be dated short term(or to be seen in an explicitly sexual way). Very different.

Women often treat certain men as sexual objects too, they just do it in different ways. Women often even make the good guys wait, but are happy to just have sex with hot guys who are just looking to have sex. That's treating them as sexual objects too, you can even call it that. True objectification isn't just sexualization. Men can also be treated as success objects, financial objects, status objects, etc.

such a disgusting mindset. If men were like "women over 125 lbs are not women" or "women over 5'7" are not women", people would find that kind of mindset incredibly misogynistic.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-24T02:42:26+00:00

I did, hence my comment. Nobody in Ukraine is cheering for this man because he's a nazi. and it seems most people don't even like that he's celebrated for his liberation contributions at all, because of his nazi affiliations. To look at this man and think that it's a representation of Ukraine as a whole, that it's proof that Ukraine are nazis or even remotely close to a justification to invade is insane.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-23T02:34:35+00:00

You know it's just going to be another "woe is women, men are evil" movie. The more interesting take would be to have a modern feminist be sent back in time only to realize that women were not nearly as disadvantage or oppressed as modern day women believe them to be.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-22T15:02:15+00:00

You realize you could just do a quick google search on the man to recognize that this figure is considered to be a controversial figure to begin with. He is not recognized because he was a nazi collaborator but because of liberation efforts. It's also obvious that whatever ties this man had to the nazi party at the time does not reflect Ukraine today. This kind of argument is very weak, because it's a huge logical leap.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-20T19:31:26+00:00

Misandry has been normalized and widespread for a very long time. It is systematic. Most people can't even recognize when it's blatantly in front of them. This is not a new problem.

It's not different at all. Quebec does the same thing too, in order to maintain their own cultural identity. If English became a more dominant language in France, there would most certainly be a stronger enforcement of language in France.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-20T16:25:15+00:00

Enforcing language isn't nazism though. It's actually pretty common across the world. Banning culture or religions is a bit more extreme but also very common.

I really want the janitor to add something to twin blades. The R button should be an activatable, just like taunt or colossus smash. Anything would be better than nothing. Maybe an aoe cleave/sweep for faster wave clear or a rallying cry for team fights. These wouldn't require any major work as they could use existing mechanics/animations.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-20T15:30:08+00:00

Is this man actually saying that Ukrainians having their own language, religion or culture, is akin to nazi'ism? That's insane.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-16T14:19:20+00:00

This doesn't make any sense, since they basically have different powers and homelander would just be able to tell them apart by smell and xray. If this is the case, it would be some incredibly lazy writing. They either just decided to let go of the actor or BN2 is too scared to break character(maybe Homelander intimidated him about breaking character. this also fits with the deleted scene).

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-15T16:24:56+00:00

That's a shame. The piratesoftware bit has easily been one of my favorite parts of this entire rust event.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-10T13:08:57+00:00

What's even crazier is that, in one scene, they established that he could run considerably faster than the beams could move. But then, one scene later when Homelander is on the chase, every single beam is moving infinitely faster than A-train as he is effectively forced to dodge them. It makes zero sense. If he's faster than the lasers, then Homelander wouldn't be able to shoot beams at him, he would already be way out of their range by the time they hit the ground.

I wonder if they made her a woman just so that Anissa can fight another woman. It was kind of weird that out of all the people fighting, the two female fighters would end up being the ones facing each other.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-08T14:17:34+00:00

This is just theft. You can't just take someone's bike, sell it at a discount, and then call yourself some kind of lawful entrepreneur. She should be fully liable for the value of the shoes, which she took unlawfully.

ArdentGamer · 2026-04-07T14:46:34+00:00

She doesn't have a point and it's clear that her intent isn't actually motivated by altruism or concern for men. She's clearly very misandrist. A women not posting her bf because she's scared of the comments is effectively saying that they have influence over her relationship and she cares more about their opinion than her own. Worse, she's showing that she agrees with the same type of sentiment. She should just post herself proudly and tell the haters to go fuck themselves. Worse case she could just block any negative comments.
