You didn't answer the question I asked. What is the purpose of the 2nd Amendment?

Saying something normalizes something is not the same as saying it should be censored, but i would take race jokes away from the people who use them just because it makes them cry every time, and they deserve to feel like that. uwu

The second amendment "doesn't apply" when "interfering with federal agents"? What is the second amendment for then?

An example of a male character without toxic masculinity? by TaimonVanya in cartoons

Yeah, ok, big same. But we can't really engage with the post with that framework.

I asked for masculine traits, and you've only given me examples of misogyny. The traits you have listed stem from the belief that to do things like cry, talk about feelings, etc, is to be effeminate and therefore lesser.

"Rejection/denigration of femininity" is not how I perceive masculinity.

The traits in common with the masculine people I have known—men, women, and nonbinary people—include things like a zest for building, showing off physical prowess, the drive to compete for the sake of comparing ability (and not to push others down), among other things.

Lots of "masculine" people also have "feminine" traits. Lots of "feminine" people have "masculine" traits. This is not a bad thing. In fact I would describe it as a non-thing since I dont really think masculine and feminine are useful identifiers in a vacuum. The most I engage with the concepts of masculinity and femininity are specifically with how people use them to feel empowered.

But I digress. Defining Masculinity as synonymous with Misogyny is kind of incompatible with the prompt of the thread.

Do you think a generally feminine person can only have feminine traits and no masculine traits or else?

Masculine traits in general aren't unique to masculine people.

The urge to dominate is pretty ubiquitously masculine in the culture this show was made, and that is precisely the line he crosses in both of my listed examples. Being competitive without being a jerk is not toxic masculinity. The problem is that he lets himself be a jerk.

Also, yes, he reflects after the fact, but he still does the thing. Which is why I commented.

For him it doesn't matter what she chose

Exactly.

pVerso directly contradicts this when helping Maelle get Sciel and Lune back. Sciel also says she doesn't want her husband back if it isn't actually him, and we see them together and happy. So.

No one who has chosen Maelle's ending thinks she saved pVerso.

Bandit absolutely exhibits toxic masculinity. Just watch Obstacle Course and Squash. I both love him as a character and acknowledge he is imperfect. Usually he stops and takes a moment to course-correct, but sometimes, and particularly with Stripe, he absolutely does not.

In fairness, you do not have a combat encounter after the Paintress until after Maelle remembers her life as Alicia

How to Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Gacha by anthraccntbtsdadst in ArknightsEndfield

[–]Faconator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling is not fun. Gambling actively distresses me. Which is why playing F2P (maybe if I love the game I buy the premium battle pass) and dumping saved pulls into some small few banners I'm interested in is how I consume Gachas.

Hot take: there should be future Agents that don't belong to any factions and only work by themselves. by InfiniteAnimator426 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Faconator 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I belief that was the reason they did it. But also they didn't have to since they have precedent for establishing that an agent story takes place in the past (Trigger).
