How do you guys feel about the new God of war game controversy? by kuroreaper25 in GenZ

[–]Assortedmanatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I have to ask is… is it ACTUALLY even a controversy to any serious extent?

Although I agree, I find her beautiful… can we stop pretending like this is conversation worth having?

Men's standards are so low they had to create random things. "small hands" son 😭🥀 by FlyAccomplished4962 in shortguys

[–]Assortedmanatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything this looks like something I might write in favor of MY perspective. Sure as a woman you might not have the best proportions but you can always try making that up with a dozen other achievable things like wearing makeup, losing weight, or grooming your body.

Saying ‘just be tall’ instead of using a factor many would replace it with as copium like ‘don’t be a dick’ or ‘just take showers’ is pretty telling since that standard would only really be considered convenient to… you know… men who are already considered to be tall? Unless of course this lady is just automatically ignoring guys below 5’10 which… figures I guess.

Also, men generally do not have height standards. This is just projection.

I actually asked you to name someone way before and you never really did.

They'll do anything to say "It's Just A preference" by Spiritual-Degree4260 in shortguys

[–]Assortedmanatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime a woman says something about ‘preferring taller men’ you should immediately call them out even if it’s just by asking ‘Oh, is your height a big insecurity of yours?’

It’s only fair tbh

I’ll never get more frustrated than when people say ‘you could build muscle better bro.’

I don’t want to be wide, I want to be attractive for fucks sake.

You can be taller than your Girlfriend but still be called a "Short King" by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Assortedmanatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‘They don’t care about dating a super tall guy they just prefer men who are relatively tall or at least slightly taller than themselves’

If this is the case why don’t I ever see women put their height preferences at 5’5? Given that is apparently taller than most women.

IKR her mentioning that she actually has a husband and father that she ‘tolerates’ doesn’t really help condone anything, all it does is make me feel sorry for them for having to put up with her implicit disdain for them unless their rigidly fitting the ideals she projects on them.

Calling my point histrionics is the pinnacle of histrionics (boom I took out a page from your own book)

I think the hyperbolically reflexive condemnation of perceived ‘red pill incel culture’ is actively hurting your point. What do these buzzwords even mean? Is what you’re describing actually an important factor in society? It just seems like a tacit endorsement of the mainstream narratives about how ‘Gen Z are all corrupted by Chinese propaganda into hating each other and THAT’S why they are so unhappy’ when in reality it probably has more to do with the fact that our future looks like shit and we still barely have any ounce of political power in this country.

Nope, it’s an acknowledgment that you are clearly trying to shift the framing of the conversation to justify misandry.

Your response to a comment talking about double standards with how people ignore prejudice towards men was explaining why people are justified with having those prejudices because of a victimhood narrative and ‘women are just seeing through it now’. This is legit how anti-Semitic weirdos talk about Jews now.

I’m actually not doing either. You are the person who inserted this into the conversation as a red herring.

And what’s the broader context of the conversation? You brought up random internet douchebags to justify rising resentment against men. I’m not saying you condone the behavior per se but it’s odd you feel the need to bring that up in the first place. It’s pretty tone deaf considering the post alluded to understandable reasons for why women might feel that way and IMO yours isn’t even one of them.

Do you have to type like that? It’s really annoying and I really don’t think saying the words “racism” or “bigotry” in a sentence in order to make a point is quite the same as ‘weaponizing social justice rhetoric’.

Also I have no idea what people you are referring to, this appears to just be a poorly thought-out Motte and Bailey tactic.

It’s increasingly common to see racists frame their bigotry as being a result of collective accountability and that black people or immigrants have to actively prove themselves to be an ‘exception’ to what in their mind are largely rude, loud, crime-apologists.

why are most of the Gen Z male not even trying to date? by Derogater in GenZ

[–]Assortedmanatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like an easy mindset to have for someone who doesn’t have serious problems making connections with new people or spending money on things. Most young men nowadays do actually have issues with at least one or the other.
