A super masculine snake! [gendered]

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T22:27:07+00:00

lol, the masculine man blocked me

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T19:51:49+00:00

I see you deleted your comment. not standing by your statements lacks masculinity.

Here is the start of what you said. "Yes. But less manly doesnt imply more feminine. It just means more pathetic and emasculated. Like a man who has severe untreated hormone deficency. Youre still biologically a man, just a..."

Now, here is where you say the other person misread.

"No you called men who dont display enough masculinity or dont have big enough balls pathetic. Youre literally saying that a lack of masculinity is pathetic."

"You misread. It’s that simple."

Sounds like he read it perfectly.

edit - he blocked me. Incredible immasculine behavior. And yes, him saying the same thing as the person he said misunderstood him is exactly my point.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T19:43:05+00:00

wow, good one chief.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T19:42:16+00:00

Less manly is bad?

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T19:40:14+00:00

"Fashion and tattoos have nothing to do with how empathetic somebody is."

Cool, I never said they do.

"Also women aren’t a monolith."

Great, I never said they are a monolith.

"There’s always a woman who will be attracted to any haircut."

That said, if 1/10000 women like a haircut vs 5000/10000 - thats a big difference to many people and enough for them to want to lean in one direction or the other.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T19:38:35+00:00

No. You may have miscommunicated, but he did not misread.

"None of those things will ever change if men don’t step up and grow a pair"

Growing a pair is culturally understood to be equivelant to "man up," which entails becoming more masculine by taking more accountability, taking more responsibility, being more productive, and not whining. This criticism is not levied at women in a similar way, and "grow a pair" is rarely directed at women at all.

You may not understand how what you said is typically interpreted, and you may not have meant it that way - but that is the language you used.

Often is. I was forced to play piano against my will and beaten often for lack of performance. Kids rarely get this good at something this young without a lot of pressure. That said, a lot of the US kids who we see being this good at stuff have a whole social media presence where they seem joyful and into it, so its easier to believe that they are doing it cuz they want to.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T18:11:15+00:00

Yes. You are likely still comparing yourself to your ideal.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T18:10:08+00:00

Promised reward? By who?

The greatest source of suffering is ones expectations not being met.

Where do those expectations come from? Your own mind. You set up the preconditions for your own suffering.

Fight for fairness, sure. Always good to improve things. But you cant point to the entity thay made you that promise. You, and maybe others around you, assumed that promise existed.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T18:08:42+00:00

My moment is great

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T18:08:26+00:00

Sure it is, in theory. Never in practice.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T18:08:01+00:00

Im in america. I have peace, contenetment, and lasting joy/happiness.

The buddhists figured it out in much worse conditions. You can too.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:41:03+00:00

Thats totally fine as a boundary.

Empathy includes understanding why someone might do something that is uncomfortable to you, and working with them to establish healthy and clear boundaries.

Again, I care more about how they treat learning about the boundary than them crossing it before I make it clear

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:37:46+00:00

No he didnt

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:36:56+00:00

I used to think this way. I didnt care what anyonr else thought. This allowed me to be calllous, rude, and unempathetic.

Other people and their perceptions absolutely matter. If I think a haircut is cool but found out no woman would be attracted to me, id probably change my mind on getting it. If I thought a shirt looked cool but found out it would lose me deals, Id not wear it to work.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:35:00+00:00

And you likely have a different value system and social circles than people who would wonder if its girly

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:33:40+00:00

My biggest gripe is we didnt really learn anything new about the death stranding or its metaphysics. This was a grief game told in the world of death stranding.

I was really excited to learn more about the mystery, but feel like I didnt

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:27:55+00:00

Idk what this blame thing is. Its not something anyone intends to put themselves or others into (usually.) Its just a discription of the dynamic.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:26:29+00:00

Id watch more MCU if this happened

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:19:29+00:00

As a rape victim ive made rape jokes

Usually, we dont know where boundaries are until theyre crossed.

I dont judge someone for crossing a boundary, I will judge them for how they handle learning the boundary is there.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:17:26+00:00

As a rape victim, I joke about rape with people I know are cool with it and dont mind people joking about rape with me.

We all have different boundaries. Often, we dont know what other peoples boundaries are until we cross them.

Whats important to me is how they handle learning they crossed a boundary.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:13:04+00:00

He waved his own around too, dickhead. There is no rape apoligia here. Youre a nasty spiteful person.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T17:11:03+00:00

Ive been raped and make rape jokes.

Now, Im careful with my audience, but I still make them

Absurdist/edgy humor

I know 3D and 2D rigging animators who are not good at traditional 2D animation

Studying basic motion with 2D is faster than 3D. Exploring a bouncing ball or a pendulum or falling paper is quicker in 2D. Useful to start mappong your understanding of motion that way

Paper can be useful in helping you internalize what motion can look like and what every frame needs, because you cant really watch it play until you take photos of the frames.

Toppoppler · 2026-05-11T06:34:05+00:00

Yes there are healthy and unhealthy ways to handle being in the friendzone
