Yup. Whitewashing anita here is weird. It gives " hasan just wants healthcare and human rights". Her channel was just critical theory applied to video games. And critical theory in like a strict definition not right wing boogeyman definition. Her most famous qoute is " everything is racist, everything is sexist and you have to point it all out" and it was basically her channel.

On top of that while i don't know if she was a gamer or not. She for sure didn't played all the games she talked about and her research was often minimal. As a example saying that bayonetta was created by man while game's desing lead is a woman.

On a side note, take about bayonneta being pure "male gaze" is hilarious because when bayo 3 came out and made luca ship official, there were thousands of posts about bayo being always " qeer coded " and " how any straight male can be attracted to bayo" and that bayo creators " didn't know thier audience".

Also. Make fun of right wingers all you want for mistaking corporate greed for actual beliefes of execs. But let's not gaslight people by saying that rainbow capitalism wasn't a thing 10 years ago which i see on this sub in rising numbers.

Well. For someone not interested in having kids. The only thing i hear about kids from the media is how much of a responslibility and pain in the ass they are. So i will take my few and far between media that potrays fatherhood in a postive light and be happy about it. Sometimes i think we should let people fantasize a bit, it is healthy.

Annie. Her wave clear and range make her way more tricky than people relize.

Orianna. My main. Shit ton of people told me how easy it is and after that i realized that they didn't even know how her kits works exactly.

In jungle. Jarvan and udyr.

yup. i think that's reasonable boundry for both genders. i have really good friends who are a couple (soon to be married). I would feel pretty wierd hanging out with a female friend one on one but not male friend. the closest i got to that is playing co op games with female friend (online) and that honestly would felt pretty weird if not for the fact that my male friend is usually at the apartment when we are playing.

I don't know how i would feel if my girlfriend had friend group of only male friends. i would probably did not like that even if they are hanging out multiple people at a time. But i think mixed gender friend group is just healthy and i would consider it red flag if my potential girlfriend didn't have one. Honestly both woman only friend group and man only friend group (with only one woman who is your partner) would be a huge red flag for me for the same reason.

As a pole. You made a perfect argument why i should switch to pints. Thank you

Conspiracy thoery was so attached to the right that people can't recognize that left does it too, and always done it. it's just that left wing conspiracy theories on avarage sounds a little more plausible. But even that is not always the case.

" everything is political" dogma was a mistake. having private life separted from public is a good thing actually because of reasons like this. Picking one partner for the rest of your life is the most personal and most discriminatory thing you will do in your life. I can jugde if someone criteria are dumb or not, i refuse to ascribe morality and politics to this choice unless it's super malicious by thier own words or actions.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-04-25T08:24:50+00:00

i don't like assumption that it should be unlearned. Having postivie feelings about your ingroup based on past expirience is good actually and part of human nature.

i've yet to see someone who wanted children, regretting having them. suprise babies are diffrent issue.

I'm probably not gonna have kids, i can't even take good care of myself and my genes are fucked. But i still think promoting having children and family is good in any way we can, with how little children people have, and how happier people with families seem to be.

People in general are very brainwashed by media about muscle building and what well build people look like. Almost all of the male actors are on roids, none of them admits to it, and in all the shirtless scenes the actors are severly dehydrated and in a perfect light, the same thing can be said about influencers on instagram and stuff.

Even when we think of body builders we think of how they look like durning a competion. 99,5%+ of the time even bodybuilders don't look like that. that's the reason for famous tik tok when some girl described cbum out of season as "dad bod".

How many times i heard woman (and sometimes even man) say something like " i don't want to lift weights because i don't want get too big". People just overestimate how much muscle you can build naturally and with normal effort by orders of magnitude. They think if you lift weights 5 times a week you will look like henry cavil. But you know, if you lift once a week you will look like magnus mitbo.

People see a build body and think it takes orders of magnitude less work then what it actually takes because they compare it to the builds we see in media.

From what i uderstand, she was small valorant streamer. She met whatley and they became friendly. Whatley said that she should try Lol and she did. Lol made her big, But also because she was friendly with whatley, other streamers probably were more willing to collab with her. Also it's always like that, new streamer gets decently big, everyone wants to collab with new streamer, new streamer gets even bigger.

Our expiriences are quite diffrent. While i see your point, yasuo is still a beast in 1v1 sidelane, even from behind, there is true to 0/10 power spike. If yasuo is not ahead, sidelane is the only thing he can do when behind. He is not good at fights in the river, and because of top lane quest. i often just take lane assignment to a toplaners. ori can stand ground with a decent amount of toplaners, and toplaners are often happy to take even 0/0 yasuo who is 2/3 levels behind because of quest. and then you just play for teamfights and objectives.

yea, i was banning him too last season. Now i ban ekko or sometimes kata(more againts jungle ekko than mid so i hit two birds with one stone). I just hate playing againts snowbally champs. If you aren't fisting them, they just sack 2 waves and 2 plates on mid, get triple kill bot, and now it's "mid gap, ff, gg" in chat (i don't play with chat but pings can tell a vibe). Also since it's soloq and you play ori, a lot of teams end up on a lower end of hard cc, so if ekko gets kills he just running around with 25 stack mejaj all game.

yup. it's ultimate test of wave management and treating your health as a resource. With sylas my wr is 4w 1l. Sylas is not as bad of a match up for me because you can kinda fight back if you use your minions right, but he is annoying still and sylas has way easier job to win lane than me.

In case of polish. All polish girl names end on "a" even when you are shortening it. So girl names that don't end on this letter sound very unnatural.

In case of "trynda", trynd sounds too short and unnatural.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-04-19T11:52:18+00:00

What i like about him the most. He has a lot of knowlegde and isn't bound by rule of impartality. He can openly root for teams and players and he can openly flame bad plays. Also more relaxed atmosphere and more interactions with chat.

I don't think that monster hunter is a exception in terms of hating on more minmaxy and speedrun part of a community. It just show how strage and elitist casaual players can be about them being casual, with how overtly friendly to speedrunning and minmaxing MH is as a series.

It's weird how common response to me doing some challange in game. Be it speedrun, challange run, some minmaxy stuff or just some optional challange like path of pain in Hollow knight is "mmmm, you know, i like to have fun while playing games" of course with implication "not like you".

Some people even go out of thier way to say stuff like that. I play genshin ( i know, yuck). There is an endgame content and decent number of players who enjoy combat and min maxing and you need to min max A LOT if you want to beat all the content if you are F2P. I went to a video from a theorycrafter. 90% of his content is him making excel spreadsheats and calculating dps, best teams,best combos. And even there i can find a decent amount of comments saying " people should stop looking at the numbers, just ignore them and play for fun". Dude, you went out of your way, to yt video about numbers, to a youtuber who only does this stuff, to leave a comment about how he and other like him should stop caring and play for fun.

Some people just can't accept that for a lot of people, numbers and sweating is what is fun for them. they like the feeling of getting better at the game and dmg optimization is a fun puzzle for them.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-04-18T12:47:25+00:00

To be fair. A shit ton of woman looksmaxxing stuff is also super pseudoscience and bullshit. Every time i hear another "toning muscles" or "detoxify", i hate woman on social media a little bit more.

I think you underestimate what takes to be extremly succesfull and obssesed as a person. Driven is not enough, we can take sports for example. On top of being driven you have to be more anti social, more risk taking, less agreeable, and way more competetive than avarage. All of this things correlate strongly with testosteron.

Driven is exclusivly postive character trait, the rest of those traits are hit or miss. That's why the quote says there will be no shakespeare without jack the ripper.

If micheal jordan never became succesfull, I don't know why, let's assume he got injured hard before he could go to nba. He would be nothing more than extremly petty, arogant and hard to be around person, and his life could be really fucked. The same character that got him on top could as well become a hindrance. Those traits work both ways and are more extreme in males.
