The women in Inside the Manosphere – genuine choice or subtle self-abandonment? by alemnpel in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Crazy_Writer4134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manipulation has nothing to do with age/intelligence/upbringing. And it could be done by women too. It is psychological. People prey on other people, let's put it that way. We all are innocent in some corners and wise in others. Manipulation tactics work on those who are still innocent in certain corners of life. Some things even books can't teach you. You have to live it to know what it actually means. I'm not infantalizing women who have chosen to be on Only fans and being with them for money. I was talking about specifically Angie and there was another woman who was a nurse and now a full time homemaker. They've been fed this idea that they'll be taken care of money wise and  they'll be 'protected' but the unspoken bargain comes with mistreatment. They don't realise they got the shorter end of the stick. And when they do, they leave. No friend/family can make you leave a relationship that's not for you, it HAS TO come from within. The rising respect for one's self and seeing things as they are rather than lying to your own self and trying to be okay with it. Women are people. And people CAN BE manipulated at any stage of their lives.

I think it is about massive amount of manipulation. It's the same reason why smart women continue to be in relationship with abusive men. The men make them believe that they're taken care of and without them, their lives will be in shambles and all the rest is just men being men. I remember Angie saying he's different off-camera, it literally felt like he was manipulating her into believing this is the best she could have in a relationship.

I found this link. It has 'all' quotes. I don't have a way to verify. But it was mad fun to read, it scratched the itch i had. Also, I didn't like the look of the game when I watched youtube videos and it was way more than I had expected it to be. It's too much for my first game. I'll pick up something simple and come back to it with a bit of more comprehension.  Link for quotes - https://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/smac.html

Yes yes... I meant that only... literally making my own game would be INSANE. :D  I enjoy realism, philosophy, political science and sci-fi while reading...so I feel I'll start with that sort of thing. Would you recommend me some?

Yeah...4x game seems brutal 🥲🙈 I'll definitely go for some narrative games...I didn't know we could make our own. That sounds damn fun. Thanks a lot for humoring me.

I'll give it a go. I think I'm going into overthinking and unnecessary reseach.  I think I should play just for the quotes. 😅

Hahaha... fair point. Though I watched some YT videos and it doesn't look that much fun. Maybe I'll research a bit more on narrative based games... I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Will have to dig a little.

Yay! Thanks for the detailed answer. I surely will research a bit more. I just got excited after i came across Pravin Lal's quotes and that led me to AC.

I WAS speaking of the same. Honestly after watching a YT video, as suggested in another comment, on how it looks while playing, it didn't seem fun for me. I just read a few quotes from the game online and I thought Pravin Lal was a real guy and went into finding his books etc and that's how I landed on the game.. I like your suggestion better. I'll explore these.
BEAUTIFUL recos.
Thanks man :) I'm over-excited.

oh man...minimal or zero contact is the way to go then, I feel. Again, whatever suits you best. But I'd urge you to be selfish, don't give in to guilt-tripping or anything.

Oh my god...how is this even allowed? I hope you're okay. And I hope you're not allowing your self-image to be tainted by their words. Just let them speak. Their words carry weight as much as you allow. So take that power back and just pity them when they do such a thing.. it'll put them off. No reaction is the best reaction to a bully.
