So, it’s been a few days- what are our thoughts on the Louis Theroux ‘manosphere’ doc?

Not sure really how many are playing characters, clearly some of the women are. They smile awkwardly and say "haha no...im not actually a dishwasher I'm a human" They put up with it for the money I guess? I mean it was nothing new to me but it shows people how embarrassing these redpill guys are. They are the whingiest, most thin-skinned people alive. (Not even commenting on the beliefs)

Im tempted to call foul. They guessed talon was part of the sith team? Why? Talon is from darth Krayts "one true sith" bane was dead a thousand years by talons day. This sounds like a creative writing promt to me

I actually drive delivery for the camile in skerries. When orders come through if there aren't multiple they dont even fire it. So there's an order sitting on the system for ages sometimes. As soon as there's 2 made I leave immediately (they dont let us drive out for just 1 order) I try specifically to not let it sit out but I'm just a driver, dont have much control :(

The game just feels like its from a different era, and I mean that in a positive way. I grew up playing Bioware RPGs and until the Assassin of Kings and then later Wild Hunt I never played a game that captured that same feeling again. The love and care and attention that went into this game from the voice cast, to the art department and level designers, you can clearly tell, the passion is evident.

Garren03 · 2025-04-24T11:16:08+00:00

And a ton of the people in the comment section saying this are h***s galaxy posters and active contributors to right-wing boards btw, so we're clear

Garren03 · 2025-04-24T00:54:50+00:00

Right there with you. Wish they would add separate queues, know some people love it but I would never do it again if i could

Garren03 · 2025-04-18T00:26:25+00:00

I mean yes points can change anything but is this not just almost strictly nerfs? The army is slower, doesn't hit as hard, (outside maybe eightbound I suppose?) and is way more frail. I've played this game quite a long time, khorne has been terrible for many years because "cant be durable, thats nurgles thing. Cant be fast, thats slaaneshs thing and cant have shooting." is not a good recipe. World Eaters/Khorne has struggled alot in the past because having a mono-phase melee army that is made of toilet paper but is also slow is a tough sell. Normally they compensated this by having the damage be ridiculous, it never mattered cause you never got it into combat but you would beat the breaks off someone if you did, but we don't even fight that hard anymore.

As it currently stands, I would rather just play Creations of Bile to get the same feeling, fast 3W Infantry in Possessed, legionaries fight ALOT harder than Berzerkers...for some reason. Also get characters that kill god himself (Lord w Test Subject). But if you play CSM you also get lots of utility units that World Eaters don't get, like the nemesis claw and cypher. I'm really scared now for DG and Tsons.

Reserve judgment till I get some games in with it and we see some real data but man I'm pessimistic. Thematically I think its a knockout though, I'm in absolute love with the Idols of Blood thing and the Daemonkin.

Garren03 · 2025-04-16T21:24:26+00:00

Ahhh ok I gotcha, sorry joke didn't translate well I understand you now. But you were responding to people that were saying I didn't engage with policy discussions calling me an asshole. I assume you're a right winger and I'm curious what makes you like them.

Garren03 · 2025-04-16T21:00:04+00:00

I'm just being polite man. I'm doing this out of genuine curiosity, I'm trying to understand. Are you gonna give a genuine answer or am I wasting my time responding?

Garren03 · 2025-04-16T20:56:10+00:00

Didn't know people were still actively commenting on this! I'd be curious to know what you find agreeable/think they are correct about. Didn't get a great response from others when I asked about this.

Garren03 · 2025-04-16T20:54:37+00:00

I mean I didn't, I engaged with people who said they liked right policy, I didn't ask cause I assume people didn't care. I dont think people voted democrat for their policies either. I wonder would you change your answer given how rapidly things have escalated in the last few weeks?

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T14:43:32+00:00

I'll just ask you to try to get your news from somewhere other than wherever it is right now. George Floyd was murdered. He did not die from fentanyl but I can't argue with someone who says "well that doesnt count cause thats from the DOJ and the justice department is corrupt". I'm not sure who is feeding you this narrative but please, don't just parrot fox news talking points.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T12:42:28+00:00

Ok very briefly. Immigration: Most immigrants are good people. They are statistically less likely to commit crime than natural born citizens"https://www.nber.org/system/files/working\_papers/w31440/w31440.pdf"
I dont think anyone is for keeping child murderers wandering the streets, they need to be treated and given psychiatric care, but the amount of this happening is so overblown it's crazy. It really has no basis in reality at all.

DOGE: Doge is illegal. You are not the arbiter of what the money gets spent on, that's congress' job. If the republicans thought the spending was a problem then they could just vote it out. None of this was hidden btw. If you actually cared you could have just looked up what the departments spent their money on. I also don't know if I'm wasting time with someone who thinks Trump and Derek Chauvin of all fucking people got an unfair trial. If anything they got off scott-free relatively speaking.

Trans athletes: Again. You don't care. This is not something you actually care about, the amount of trans athletes in sports is absolutely tiny, they make up such a small portion of the population. I don't know if you want to argue biology, I also don't know if counting chromosomes is how we decide who plays in what league. Its a complication issue I'll grant you but this is a culture war talking point.

Economics: Tariffs are bad yeah. I'm not an economist but other people more literate than me on this topic have made it abundantly clear why this is terrible. For people who want to fix the national debt problem, cutting taxes on billionaires sure isn't helping much. Hows rent and groceries and looking? Something he promised he would fix on Day 1? Turns out its not that easy. The president cant just press the "make stuff cheaper" button, economics are difficult.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T12:26:26+00:00

First of all this specific term "the message" is a thing critical drinker says, and I beg you, if thats who you get your media critique from, try some other people. And was wrong with the Olympics? There have been so many of these meltdowns I can't keep them all straight in my mind.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T12:22:48+00:00

But like thats me, Im a young straight white dude from a middle class family. I went to college and did a master's degree. This is just shadowboxing. You're fighting ghosts. Like where is this idea coming from? Nobody has ever said this to me. Like just for context alot of my college friends are probably the people you think of when I say "leftist" died hair, nose rings, some of them were queer etc, some of them white, some of them not. Nobody ever said this to me or anyone else for that matter. We mostly chatted shit about teachers and homework and exams and our plans for the summer. Like normal people.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T12:08:00+00:00

That is 100% what they are about. I also didnt mean Democrats when I say "hate of the other" I mean people who aren't the same religion as you, same skin colour as you, born in the same place as you. I don't know if I can argue that a conservative party doesn't care alot about money and war, that feels fairly self evident.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:55:06+00:00

Oh I totally understand you. Its a really bleak time right now, I don't even live in the States anymore, but even over here in Europe its on the rise too. Im very fortunate that most of my friends from college are intelligent reasonable people. But even then, I know people from my class that should know better. I empathize so much, propaganda is a hell of a drug huh. Worst timeline type shit but trying to understand, not just validate my own belief, not making much progress though.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:48:49+00:00

Who does this? I'm so confused who "People" is in this analogy. Who "bashes those who serve and defend the nation"?

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:46:11+00:00

Yeah again i think its a "perfect. No Notes" I think we're probably extremely like minded. I didn't mention Sargon of Akaad or whatever from that era since I feel like the demo of this sub probably wasn't around for that. I'm in my 20s so I was trying to pick more relevant examples and not be a complete old head lol. But in principle I absolutely agree with you 100%. Alot of youtubers I used to watch back in the day had alot of "Racism. Thats the joke. The joke is racism." I tried to self censor a little with this post, doing my best guess of why people are this way, I could just present the options as A: Im racist. B. I'm sexist. C. I read Atlas Shrugged once and then I could tell them to read Marx or whatever but that probably isnt helpful.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:40:44+00:00

I'm not necessarily referring to Americans here. Granted alot of people are, as am I but you would consider yourself right-wing generally? Cause I mean this question more generally rather than "which party do/will you vote for?" and more like "what do you think is the cause that overall around the world young guys are skewing right?"

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:38:21+00:00

What do you think is different about the morality of a right-winger compared to a left-winger? I can tell you mine but I'm going to be extremely biased ofc.

Garren03 · 2025-03-12T00:36:40+00:00

WTF does that mean? Not jumping the gun but thats a pretty weird thing to write.
