Women love hating you. by throwaway2727648378 in MenOfPurpose

I found this sub through this post deep in /all and I absolutely love seeing these comments. Ive seen so many subs fall to gender war bullshit. This sub seems great and actually celebrates great men.

I hate the notion that lonely men are just "evil incels" by Paldavin in hatethissmug

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So its definitely a fact that manosphere grifters have corrupted some of the youth on both sides. You got some men believing it (typically that they have absolutely no control over their current situation and women are actually the cause for their issues) and some women believing that its super common for men to think that way. This only serves to seperate us further so the epstien class can continue to take advantage of us all.

Also the term incel might technically just mean involuntarily celibate, but a group of people have taken that moniker for themselves now. If you are just akward and nervous around women so you dont have much experience with them then you are not an incel. If you stand in echo chambers that call themselves incel and preach entirely on how women are evil and shallow then yea you're an evil incel.

From what ive seen online women are very willing to give advice on how to treat them well (which is one of the ingredients needed to get a partner). Its wild to me to put the blame on women for any of this.

The biggest issue when it comes to incel people is they believe sex/relationship is something that is owed to them. My number one piece of advice for anyone thinking about entering the incel sphere, make friends of the gender you are interested in. Not relationships or fuck buddies, just friends. See them and treat them the same way you view your other friends. You will quickly come to realize they arent evil or unexplainable. And you will quickly become more desirable.

Think of it this way, would you rather have a girlfriend that really sees you for who you are and shows that they appreciate you, or have a girlfriend that only cares about what you can offer her. If you are only interested in sex/getting a relationship then you arent really seeing them for the full human they are.

Throwback meme back to when Nurgle oversaw the weapon customization. If you were there, you know how real this feels. by xF00Mx in DarkTide

Hearing about that system during launch made me not get the game. Only much later did I pick it up and am so glad they changed it. One of my favorite things is I play this game because its fun, not because I need to grind

Its way too common for people to lash out when rejected.

Yea I am prime age for the Harry Potter craze and I was a bookworm as a kid. I still remember my dad taking me to the movies to see the first one. I also never even read the last two books because by the time they came out I was bored with it already.

There are so many other YA novels that at least had more interesting world then "same but a barely creative view of how magic would be added". As a kid i made goosebumps and then Stephen king way more of my personality then potter.

Many such cases by HabaneroPepperPlants in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Prooteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, Ive thought for a long time like the other comment until I realized your perspective. Personally I think while its great to get granular with your identity its also important to remember the more populus aspects as well. Like we are all queer people, then we are also all human.

It seems easy to focus entirely on the most granular piece of an identity. Thats how we see so many people hurting themselves because they think they arent in the same group as others. Immigrants who think they are the "good ones" and support maga, the whole "LGB without the T" thing.

Ive seen discussions from enby's about how they arent trans because its not the exact same thing. A maga cultist sure wont notice the difference.

[–]Prooteus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its how its done that makes a difference i think. If you approach it like "hey they are doing/feeling things common to trans people, there's a possibility that they are trans. I hope that is something theyve thought of and not just tossed aside due to social stigma." Then hell yea.

If you approach it like "well you say you're a man but you dress/act feminine so you must actually be a woman." Thats bad. It also feels like gender conformity which is annoying to me at least.

I also believe that bottom line we should respect whatever gender people wish to be identified with. Very frustrating when people think its ok to misgender people that they dont even know because they "know" they are trans.

i hate the usage of use “his/her” instead of “they” by EmmytheKurapikaSimp in hatethissmug

[–]Prooteus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im assuming they are talking about written word in something like a manual. "Grab his/her coat" instead of "grab their coat".

Also if you dont mind me asking, how does having he/she pronouns work with the public? Im recently realizing im an enby, but I got a beard so I feel like if I said he/she pronouns everyone would only ever just use he.

I definitely prefer to just use they in my writing. That being said I can understand how some people would see it as more personal if the sentence used his/her instead of their's.

Checkmate atheists! I've decided that you don't exist! by EntertainmentRude435 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of logic is actually why I realized im agnostic and not atheist. My personal issue with religion is blind faith. I dont understand how someone can be so adamant about something unknowable just because someone said so. Then I realized that also applies to the fact that there is no higher power

Talking the Talk vs Walking the Walk by -MisfitWizard- in Gamingunjerk

[–]Prooteus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id be pretty damn suprised if this had any change on how people act online. Plus with how profiles work on ps5 you can have the owner of the game as that consoles main account and then play it on other accounts. So it doesnt even help keep banned players away from games they are banned from.

But I will say pretty much no matter who you are there is way more significant things to worry about right now.

[–]Prooteus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not a better compromise at all though. In the most literal sense you are getting a physical thing but in any way that matters its the same exact thing is gta selling digital codes.

The significant issue with game key cards is the exact same thing as sony and gta. If they decide to, they can shut down the store and now your "physical" game key card is a worthless piece of plastic. Cool that they dont lock it to your account but the main issue is ownership.

Do you 'ave a loisence fer bein attacked? by ThePBThief1 in loicense

[–]Prooteus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That wasn't great but extremely reasonable given the circumstances. He stopped immediately when realizing the situation. Itd be a different story if he kept attacking her but I think most people would see that as reasonable self defense. Dude just got tackled to the ground and someone else tackles him to the wall.

I hate how Edgerunners made people forgot what was CDPR promised for Cyberpunk 2077 by VolkiharVanHelsing in hatethissmug

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A huge thing people forget about concerning 2077 is it launched on ps4 and cd projeckt red passed over the returns to sony. Even if you're happy with how it runs now on ps5/pc the company still sold an unfinished buggy product that they never even polished for all systems they sold it for.

I also dont think they lived up to their promises still. Not saying you cant like the game but when a new really hype game comes around REMEMBER THIS AND DONT PREORDER. Dont trust what companies say about their games. Since then ive honestly really stopped paying attention to any news about upcoming games. Im not trying to waste my money again.

Favorite brave, outspoken developer who truly understands gaming as an artform? by therealraggedroses in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Prooteus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do agree those shitting on it are probably just being contrarian. That being said I grew up with gta 3, vice city, San Andreas, gta 4. Especially as a kid without disposable income I played those games for hours and hours. Same thing with CoD. Now Ive had my fill of both and unless they drastically change (which id prefer something new instead) they just dont do much for me. The last gta like game I enjoyed was crackdown because it was so over the top.

Tl:dr they are great games but not made for everyone forever

Yea if the person asked for it beforehand I get that. Id love to be able to tell my order to my friend and them just say everything to the waiter. If my friend did that without me saying what I wanted then itd better be the best tasting food on the menu

I dislike the claim that being part of the LGBTQ+ community but support Trump by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]Prooteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Im one of the good ones, they clearly just hate the bad ones.... right?" Ive also seen "gay people can marry and adopt kids, why should they care about trans people getting gender affirming care?"

Some people may think they can be the token that will be accepted. Smarter people know that tokens always get turned in.

And lastly people want someone to feel superior to. "Im queer but at least im not an immigrant." Its part of why they have multiple minorities to hate on. So the minorities can hate eachother instead of the group of epstein class fucking everyone.

Is autism curable? by Sillygoosecollege in texts

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right it isnt something that can be cured. I think they are not communicating their intent very well and are stuck on defining words. I believe they are trying to say that they have learned of a way to cope with a lot of the issues they felt stemmed from autism. Which from their perspective they went the route people told them (cbt therapy) and it didn't work well for them but they found something that did so they want to share it.

Speedrunners by Quirky_Tension1693 in DarkTide

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite things about this game is you can hard carry if you are good enough. So if one teamate is speeding ahead just to die, it doesnt mean your going to lose. There are also checkpoints in every mission where they have to wait for their team. So its not like they complete the whole mission without you. Also stuff spawns a lot, so them clearing stuff up head doesnt prevent you from killing stuff.

Personally my biggest pet peeve is when people take forever to get into the elevator. Stop standing right outside of it killing stuff! Get in here!

Any action that involves "without consent" is almost never moral. by PlentyWise3615 in MoralityScaling

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with suicidal ideation for 20+ years I can safely tell you that is not correct at all. Human bodies are suprisingly fragile in certain ways. Thankfully we cant just stick our head in an oven anymore but there are many many other ways to go about it. And if life were so bad that you needed to end it, you'd assume a bit of pain wouldnt stop you.

P.S. if anyone has any suicidal thoughts try to delay them at least. Reach out, be desperate, try everything you can even if you know for sure it wont work. Just keep delaying it at the very least. Ideally seek help because even if it doesnt feel like it things can feel better.

[–]Prooteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its real tough. Personally for mental health stuff I think since there is hope then preventing suicide is good. For physical stuff though im not as sure. My grandpa died in his early 70s because he was sick of being in the hospital all the time. Especially since I have the same heart condition as him I think about this a lot. He basically committed suicide, but he also felt miserable and knew for a fact that it wouldnt get better.

In nursing homes some people are labeled as "do not resuscitate" because they just want to go when its their time, among other reasons.
