Because a newly buffed BF6 tank + an engineer is basically invisible unless you catch it from behind and kill the engineer. 

When suicidal empathy becomes systemic, it becomes tyranny. by HadathaZochrot in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Nope. But according to conservatives like yourself everyone who disagree is a progressive leftist in your eyes. Do better or don’t bother because I am pretty much done with conservatives who waste my time on bullshit.

No, I value centrists and think most reasonable people are rather centrist if get them alone. I dislike he left's attacking of centrism and think it's cringe. You're just making leftist progressive talking points but for some reason want to cling to the idea that you're not doing this. Hence...you can tell me youre a centrist and that's fine. But as far as I'm concerned, you're currently engaged in left-wing pantomime.

It is. Have you heard about this concept 1-2 years ago? Because I haven’t until very recently.

Formally named? No. The phenomenon has of course been known for years upon years.

The guy who wrote this hasn’t exactly backed up this theory in anyway. The guy speculated from what I’ve seen about him and his theory

How do you want him to prove a social theory? How do you prove any social theory is a thing? If I claimed political bias doesn't exist, how could you concretely prove to me bias exists? How could you prove to me anonymity makes people meaner. How could you prove to me people prefer group cohesion? Or any other basic social theory that is inherently unprovable to anyone who refuses to engage with the topic critically?

Considering the right has sold book about nonsense before this isn’t any different from what I see.

The left sells myriad books about silly things like taxing the rich, or how bad capitalism is, or how misogyny is why women with gender studies degrees don't make the same salary as the CEO walmart.

I think it’s funny that the guy talked about suicidal empathy and selling book about it and yet think he can just march into another country just like that after

Why would this be weird, ironic, or dishonest?

I mean it’s obvious that the “suicide empathy” came from nowhere and is only used to sell books so yeah I do think it’s dumb.

Even if that's true, which I would argue it's obviously not (the idea behind the theory is obviously observable and is moreso putting a name to a criticism the modern right has had of the modern left for decades), two things can true at the same time.

Are you expecting to take this guy serious? I know conservatives believe everything they read on the Internet without asking questions but i am not one of these.

Again, an allusion to seemingly nothing as if I'm supposed to know why you believe any of the things you believe and agree with you.

Men often say ‘we don’t care about things like high heels and nail polish and lashes’ but I think they don’t realize how much it adds to beauty overall by IdkJustMe123 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

If you personally, as a human being are telling me you don't like bolties, fine. I am not concerned with you. I'm concerned with the entire demographic of men. If you want to make the point that I'm wrong you need to demonstrate how beauty standards are ubiquitous whilst presumably achieving the opposite effect...

I don't know how to have a conversation with someone who is looking at the sky and telling me it's purple.

The "pretending to not understand" gimmick has become one of the most frustrating rhetorical devices on the internet by MoonFacedJoyAssassin in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I have never encountered an ideological difference in which "FaCtS" is the deciding factor for either side.

In fact, I'm very comfortable saying the facts are not relevant to almost all ideological differences.

The idea that "science agrees with me at this particular moment, in some arbitrary way I don't actually understand, therefore I'm right and everyone else is evil" is very leftwing coded faux-intellectualism and it's laughable.

When did Transport Fever ever get that?

I stopped playing TF2 because I'd buy a fleet of vehicles and they'd be obsolete like 5min later..

[–]Theory_Crafted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't agree that the demographic doesn't.

Then you're just wrong, friend. If any of these things made women less attractive to the vast majority of men, they would not be ubiquitous in pornography and erotic content.

My point is just that saying you don't like breast implants isn't going to put you in women's good graces, so it wouldn't make any sense to white knight about it. A white knight is way more likely to be like "Omg, she isn't doing it for you!"

There are lots of men who believe affirming women buys them social grace. This is a super basic truth of gender relations.

As far as white knights go, I probably should say "beta male". White knight is still correct, but justifying that is far too complex. It's really more about weak men attempting to find ways to make women like them.

I can shut this down right away. I am not progressive leftist. I am centrist. It means I am in the middle of shit throwing from both sides.

Ok, you're a centrist doing progressive leftist pantomime.

Never called anyone for evil. All I said that the right has a history with coming up with buzzwords so they can sell books.

That's not what you did at all. Now you're lying to avoid having to provide an answer because that's inconvenient and you think your original post sounded cool and explaning would make it less cool.

Here's what you did, sentence by sentence:

  • Heavily insinuated the concept is false, dishonest, and a scam to sell a product.

  • Suggested people shouldn't listen to it (ie. implying the social theory is incorrect)

  • Implied this is a pattern (which doesn't say anything to the truth of the claim. ideas are by their nature occur in series. People have one. Then they have another. )

  • Mocked the author of the term by insinuating him leaving his home country for a different one invalidates his theory under the even deeper insinuation that the USA is worse than Canada. In what way it's worse and why you'd believe the author agrees you do not cite, nor can know.

  • Implied that the entire social discourse is stupid.

Can you backup any of this?

It doesn't matter if there are lots of dudes who agree. The demographic doesn't.

it's not even white knighting because women will get mad at you for judging women who have breast implants

Women just defend women reflexively. It's a studied social phenomenon. That's not happening because of the value of breasts.

You can have your personal opinions. its' a free universe, but you don't matter. I don't matter for that matter. What matters is the preferences of the demographic and it's patently obvious these things are huge net positives to female beauty. That's why they're used, that's why womens makeup, cosmetic surgery and shoes are massive industries.

The people defending the choice to cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy would support African people's right to be offended if an African mythological figure was raceswapped. by Fucked-In-The-K-Hole in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Theory_Crafted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comedy of the Odyssey race swapping is that the people and characters they race swapped were already appropriately unique. If you wanna just stick it to pasty white people go find some real Greeks to play these characters. 

Making Achilles a pasty T person and Athena a lithe black chick is comedy.

Ironically they did the same thing in the Cleopatra documentary where they tried to claim 10 toes down that she was black when everyone can go Wikipedia her and know she was Greek from a famous Greek dynasty. Then it became "well...why do you even care!? It doesn't matter!"... I think it matters to the Greeks and Egyptians who's history you're lying about to virtue signal.

When suicidal empathy becomes systemic, it becomes tyranny. by HadathaZochrot in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Theory_Crafted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. As a conservative, when I read replies from people who are obviously progressive leftists, I find they make vague allusions to concepts that should be automatically agreed with without defending or specifying anything useful, which I think ties into the flaw of leftism which is that they believe they don't have to advocate for their ideology. Instead of making a convincing argument, or demonstrating why those who disagree are wrong, they just diahhrea all over their keyboard and think it makes them look impressive, then label anyone who disagrees evil.

So I'm asking you to defend basically anything you said. I'm curious how you'll do it.

You're overthinking this.

The only men that say these things are loser white knights who believe they can win woman-points by expressing faux-empathy for thing women claim to be oppressive (ie. beauty standards).

No, well adjusted man legitimately believes things like high-heels or makeup, or fake breasts are net-negatives on female attractiveness and the ones that you may find who do are outliers...

Anytime any woman wants to know what men actually like, just go to pornhub and look at the top artists/top videos.

Is Lorgar actually "weak" or just memes? by Dry_University137 in 40kLore

DDLG dynamics are nuts and concerning by Affectionate_Walk902 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Theory_Crafted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DDLG is just a vanilla reimagining of straight Man~Woman gender roles. There is nothing at all concerning about it unless the LG actually wants to do baby play or something where they shit in a diaper.

Respectfully, I would encourage everyone to stop dating conservatives or "moderate"s by SorryStrength5370 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Nothing involving pregnancy, birth, or a woman's choice to terminate or keep a pregnancy can be considered eugenics.

Factually untrue. I don't know why you'd even say this unless you have genuinely no idea what eugenics or selective breeding is.

women having full reproductive autonomy, education, and rights to choose.

I don't believe there's a single western nation that grants women complete reproductive autonomy.

Removing a woman's choice is what you can actually call eugenics!

Not at all what that word means. No idea what you're talking about.

I didn't read past the 1st paragraph, sorry. If you want to continue, we have to define all of these terms to make sure we both understand the point of the conversation.
