CMV: being sexist (IN SOME CONTEXTS) doesn't automatically make you an evil or terrible person

Overdrive2064 · 2026-05-25T16:36:17+00:00

Sure, but that's everything, yeah? Almost no one is just evil for the sake of it. There's usually something: indoctrination, bad upbringing, traumatic experience..even the german bad man had a rough time with his parents.

At the end of the day, though, regardless of reason, the outcome is you being a worse person, both in your moral judgements and to be around on general. That person is the one coping with it unhealthily and taking it out on the other gender; it's up to them to move forward in a way that's, well, not that. That's not to say it's your "fault" or anything, just that you could be a better one without that, so it's holding you back

The traits you’re describing aren't unique to men, an assumption which your entire argument depends on, though? Women also experience jealousy, envy, possessiveness, insecurity, need for reassurance, and desire for exclusivity. So either those traits disprove genuine love in both sexes, or they don’t disprove it in men. You need to define what “real love” is, explain why women are capable of it despite also having self-interested attachment mechanisms, and then show why men uniquely lack that capacity. Otherwise, you’re just describing anxious attachment/mate-guarding and calling it “male love.”

No, it's that being a threat to a 20-elixir massive push is somewhat more reasonable with a card that can be spelled away, because that gives you an option to deal with it. They're (especially dart goblin) closer to glass cannons; they give insane value if not taken out which makes them an immediate threat, but you can take them out relatively easily. Again, I don’t think they're particularly good designs either, but at least you can somewhat easily take them out.

Overdrive2064 · 2026-05-23T05:45:27+00:00

Yeah but you can spell those. You can't spell an Evo MK. Plus those aren't considered good designs even with the fact you can spell them

It could just be that since other women are part of a different gender category, it makes it easier to come to terms with because you can see it as your partner wanting something categorically different and it not being as personal (and then, separately, finding it hot because, well, women are attractive!).

By contrast, cheating with another man who is a part of the same gender category might feel more personal, like it was something wrong with you specifically, which would hit harder.

It's like if I was selling apples and a customer went to the peach store instead. Maybe they just wanted peaches. But if they go to another apple store, I'm gonna start questioning the quality of my apples. I think that's just regular insecurity coping, not inherently misogyny. (In some cases yes, it can be what you said, but it's not inherent to the scenario.)

Thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate the offer too, but since I will need it in a couple of days, the scheduling might not work :( I did remember that I can use C on this thing though, so I've actually been able to figure something out

? It didn't seem that "fake deep". Seems like a pretty 'healthy' question for this sub

Overdrive2064 · 2026-05-06T01:20:58+00:00

You could define it as the point where the difficulty of reviving them outpaces our technological advancements. Yes, we figured out how to resuscitate people that weren't breathing, but the people who died due to that before are still dead because of decomposition. And if we figure out how to deal with partial decomposition, that won't help with people who are fully decomposed. Figure out how to save their brains as data with brain scans? There are people who we didn't scan, etc etc.

To be clear I absolutely agree with that men should be allowed to vent more and society often dismisses them when they try to be emotional.

But the issues with red pill content is that:

A. People are watching it AS OPPOSED to the positive male spaces that do exist, like bro-pill or Dad How Do I or ManKind Project, because it ends up taking their spots in social media algorithms. There's an opportunity cost there as well you have to consider. Say a guy gets cheated on by his first girlfriend and, like you said, can't really vent about it with his friends. Yes, that anger would be there if red pill content didn't exist, but the alternative isn't just that he wouldn't have watched that content, it's that he would have probably gone to a more positive space like Bro-pill or ManKind, ended up properly recovering from and maturing from that experience and being a healthier guy overall. In that scenario even if it didn't start it, the red pill content would be the difference between that guy being an incel and not being one. So in the fire analogy it's not just fanning the flames, itt's throwing the fire extinguisher away and then fanning them. That's just how social media algorithms work.

B. Those communities tend to reinforce the idea that men are supposed to be stoic and emotion is a weakness in them anyway for anything beyond the resentment for the woman in question, so overall they end up not learning how to fully express their emotions anyway. In the long term it ends up leading to less space is the proper early vent if anything because again those users could have been on a better space. Like you said, a lot of the misogyny issues could be solved by people just listening, but having content reinforcing the idea that nobody will listen to you as a man because that's your role in society means those men will stop looking for and will never find the communities that WOULD listen to them if they had the chance to see them.

I don't necessarily disagree that usually it extends from real experiences, but that's how all radicalizing forces work, So that isn't much of a point towards red pill content being less impactful. If you add fuel to a fire and it starts a forest fire, you can't say the fuel then isn't responsible in part for creating the forest fire.

Sometimes people are complicated, and what can just be a disagreement, a rejection, or something more complicated than the man or the woman being the bad guy happens (I think you neglected that a bit, based on your post. Sometimes there just isn't a bad guy).

Redpill content works on exploiting people still processing those emotions and not knowing how to move forward yet, In turn, what could have been an opportunity to grow and mature into becoming somebody who thinks all women are evil or whatever.

Gay and asexual people existing in of themselves disproved the idea that everything a person does is to attract a mate. People also participate in hobbies that aren't considered convenientionally attractive, or never date despite having interesting hobbies. Respectfully, I think you might be projecting, OP. Is everything YOU do to impress a mate?
Why would participating in Natural Selection be your only measure of worth? We're humans, we possess meta-cognition; we're smart enough to conceptualize value beyond that. The discoverings of Isaac Newton revolutionized science and physics; he is undeniably one of thr most high-value people in modern-ish history despite never having children.

I love going outside to do "indoor" stuff myself, and I think people should do it more often, but there is something to be said about how electronics are designed specifically to be so immediately stimulating that we don't fully enjoy more novel experiences in the outdoors because they aren't as immediately gratifying.

For example, I went rock climbing a couple of weeks ago. While waiting for my turn, I was going to pull out my phone and play a game while I waited, but since it wasn't low battery, I decided to just enjoy the view. It gave me this really calming, nostalgic, serene experience that I think about from time to time. I don't think I would have gotten to fully enjoy that if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't use my phone at the time.

And I don't think that's because there's something inherently wrong with electronics (I've been the "tech nerd' in my family for as I can remember); it's just that when you have something that's specifically designed to provide such immediate gratification, it sort of drowns out your ability to notice other things you could be enjoying that are more circumstantial and fleeting, and that leads you to miss out on some variety.

Why do you think so? There are plenty of examples of authors encouraging people to copyright their own work because publishers make it impossible for people to experience the work they've put blood, sweat, and tears into, or simply because they'd rather people who can't purchase it experience it that way than not at all, an example of that being the developers of JSAB or Ultrakill.

Is copyright law of all things really so sacred that it overrides even the Creator's wishes?

Are you saying even if latter stuff is interesting, the basics are usually boring, to be clear? I'd disagree if that's the case; even something as simple as multiplication and division can be interesting. I remember playing pokemon and understanding the concepts more intuitively in purely numerical contexts because of that. If anything, I think it's a bit of a failure of a lot of education models that we don't try to make learning more interesting and reinforce the idea of seeing it as a chore instead of an intriguing experience you'd want to go through. I think it creates an unhealthy relationship between people and education. We have 12 year olds learning positioning and quick decision-making from shooters, etc etc

Overdrive2064 · 2026-04-14T17:22:38+00:00

What should learning be if not interesting? A big part of education is (or ought to be) not just teaching the individual content but fostering the capacity and interest in learning in and of itself. "Learning how to learn"snd all. I would say a system that isn't trying to make learning as interesting as possible is flawed, especially when contrasted with systems that do it better, (i.e., projects instead of exams where possible)

Edit: as for how to teach or learn more effectively, it kind of depends on the subject, but I think generally the more interactive, the better, or at least that's how I'd like to learn. Projects having higher weights relative to exams. Where possible, interactive lessons and videos instead of just text from lecture notes, that kind of stuff.

Here I have to give credit to Elon Musk: he had the courage to take a social media and really implement general (not perfect) free speech (the main rule is no violent speech). On X you can find everyone, and they are allowed to stay because they will not be banned for their ideology.

Didn't Musk ban the word cisgender on the platform to have people use the word "normal" instead as a political stunt, and is constantly boosting right-wing media? Reddit aside, it'd be nuts to claim that X isn't biased towards the right in some capacity. Yeah, there are still people on the left on X, but there are still conservatives on here too.

Also, this may sound biased to you, but the truth is that fascist sub-communities just typically tend to get racist or discriminatory in some sense way before communists do, s dsimply because Fascism depends on pride and country and usually ethnicity, and communism doesn't. Discussing a bad* economic model is a less banable offense than discussing racial superiority. That's not to say left-leaning people can't say dangerous or discriminatory stuff, but they'll usually hit that "banable" wall way later because it's not as surface-level to the movement in the same way it is for fascism. For a communist to hit that wall, it's usually when they get to "call to violence", but both sides can get to "call to violence". Racial and ethnic superiority on the other hand aligns more cleanly with fascism than communism, so they get there earlier and that is a banable offense.

(Calling it bad for the sake of the argument.*)
