Ah, he also scouts reddit daily. Called it.

you've "called" literally every kind of site for every user 

we're all 4channers, 8channers, kiwifarmers, something awful goons, redditors, twitter users, era users, oldbore users, gaf users, and anything else flattering or unflattering you can imagine

it's the only insult available to you because anything more specific is chudly and problematic

 

"spoken like a true snopes user"

Exactly, how else are we posting their community only threads and constructive thread?  

[benji]

Ah, he also scouts reddit daily. Called it.

We all already confirmed that benji is our little weirdo.
Contrary to you we just moved on and ignore his screeches.

I too always assumed benji visited www.reddit.com, the 7th most visited website worldwide.

Do you know who else visits www.reddit.com? Everyone else visits www.reddit.com.

I honestly don't understand why Blueball seems to think everyone can only use the internet the way he does. He thinks I "scout" reddit daily because I searched for the title of something that B-Dubs deleted a link to in order to see what it was? Something that turned out to be a wonderful schizo screed and that an Era user thought was an intellectual expose and that B-Dubs "saved" the user by simply claiming it was not a great source. When anyone who looks at it should see that it's fucking crazy shit and the OP should have been mocked for thinking it's some kind of deep dive research? "Members are not allowed to post conspiracy theories." Well this one did and B-Dubs just said "bad source, try again." That's amusing, especially considering how they would have reacted if he said cunt. But I don't have to sit on reddit reading every thing everybody posted from five years ago painstakingly building dossiers like one makes for YouTubers, patients and prospective wives, you just plug that shit into Google little bro. You don't even have to visit reddit daily to do this, which is how sometimes I go weeks without visiting a reddit link. I just don't understand what the accusation is supposed to be saying or why it's supposed to be damning coming from someone who scouts the far worse website The Bire daily. Like jesus christ, forget the sins of a reddit reader when you actively post on a website that's been reported to the police.

Blueball, just because you're illiterate and take hours to do simple tasks is not an indictment of anyone else but yourself. If it's stalking, obsession, fantasizing and fetishizing to visit a website once or twice a day then I've got some bad news about you and the glass house you're tossing from. If you think it takes "all your online time" to read a single page of text or visit a single social media feed, I don't know what to tell you other than to ask your caretaker for more online time.

The worst part about this kind of thing is that it allows Blueball to spend all his time stalking me so he can masturbate to my avatar rather using his store of great knowledge (that he's obtained without ever using any of his limited online time to read anything online) to address important issues and answer society-level questions like this: Blueball, let me ask you, why do you think there's no fighting games for lesbians? Are Nazis really that afraid of women's sexuality?

[benji]

Shouldn't this "male loneliness epidemic" be demonstrated as new rather than the historical norm before we start thinking we can address it?

Yeah, I'm going to deny its "even a thing" if you can't even articulate how I'm supposed to measure it. Putnam's work was almost entirely projection because he only considered certain forms of social interaction from the era he grew up in to count as valid, so excuse me if I'd like the new versions to make clear that they're otherwise. On top of showing that this is in fact new and not just more visible because everything is more visible in the age of narcissism displayed endlessly on social media everywhere at all times of the day.

"Is dudes just sit at home online for decades" more of a male loneliness epidemic than "dudes sit at home on their subsistence farm during their short life that ends not long after"?

This isn't even getting into how all the "solutions" seem to be police states. Oh, look, Scott Galloway is a fucking cop:

Since 2017, Galloway has repeatedly called for U.S. government antitrust intervention against the four consumer technology companies Apple, Meta Platforms, Amazon, and Alphabet, in order to break them up.
...
Relating to the 2015–16 Apple–FBI dispute, he sided with the U.S. government and said that "security agencies should have access to [personal] data wherever it is if a judge deems that data is key to people's safety or national security."[38]

And even worse, a centrist:

In 2019, Galloway endorsed Michael Bloomberg's presidential 2020 candidacy as he "fulfills the Democrats' need for a strong centrist candidate".[36]

This is one thing I've really noticed over the years. We are reversing millennia of human civilization so people can just sit at home and look at social media. I'm not perfect, I play a lot of video games and watch a lot of TV, but I make a conscious effort to get out into my community. Even just sitting at a bar and chatting up random people can help getting over that loneliness feeling. The easy thing to do is just not participate in your community, but that is having such a negative effect on everything around us.

The problem with this is most communities are also filled with Fascists and Trumpers.

I don't want to go out and interact with these people in social settings.

[benji]

Oh, they were discussing that:

I don't always agree with Scott on everything. He's a moderate. However, he does seem to care deeply about young men, and he's backing it up with action.

Is this that dude that was on The View the other day Royalan?

It is…*sigh*

He does make good points, but I stopped listening to him when I was watching him speak one time and he started going on about how we need to empower young men, and and get some money into their hands, and show them the pathways to careers... and get rid of affirmative action



Like bare minimum, you can just not bring it up, prime Was Silence Not an Option territory

He's Jordan Peterson 2.0

The extent to which people don't see that is the extent to which we haven't learned anything in the last 15 years.

He's a clinical psychologist with totally weird obsessions and theories who is openly conservative?

The man's solution to the problem is to double down on it and change nothing.

I'm reading his book now. It is good so far. He is clearly trying to give an example of what non-toxic masculinity looks like.

The book won't be for everyone (but non are) he grew up in a working class family with a single mom and is now incredibly wealthy. He at least recognizes the path he took is much closed today and society needs to find a new path for 'kids like him' which he describes as unexceptional kids.

Some of the stats surprised me as a guy in my 40s. One that was weird was that nearly half (45%) of men 18-24 have never asked a woman out in person. 60% of men 18-24 live with their parents and women college graduates outnumber men now almost 2:1.

The problem is that his definition actively plays into the very dynamic that creates toxic masculinity.

SCOTT GALLOWAY, AUTHOR, "NOTES ON BEING A MAN": The right has incorrectly, and I think stupidly, conflated masculinity with coarseness and cruelty, and I don't think that's working.

This could not be more wrong. The crux of the entire crisis we're facing is that the right's approach is working and is hyper-effective. The manosphere is a huge multi-billion dollar industry with knock on effects in all kinds of directions and influencers that creates a self-perpetuating power structure that is highly resistant to change because of how valuable it is. It has never been about actually solving the underlying problems or proposing policy and they've never been punished for keeping their audiences in a perpetual state of anger without addressing their ostensible concerns. It's always been about grifting vulnerable populations and siphoning their money through grievances and emotional exploitation.

Meanwhile the left/liberals/feminists/term have been talking about these problems for decades and the variety of policies and solutions we can try to create, but they involve real change and work so why would anyone care to listen? Arguing that we need more robust healthcare systems so that men can get reliable and consistent access to therapy and medication isn't a "fun" or "fulfilling" answer that makes you feel powerful. Talking about how we need to reframe masculinity to get more men in "feminine" industries like teaching or childcare to normalize healthier values and ways of being is not going to be enticing when it is coming from the side you've been told your entire life is the "enemy". Even if the 'solution' is generic and non-partisan, like proposing more equitable tax structures to better fund more active and dynamic government social programs, it gets steamrolled by conservative marching orders because there is no daylight between politics and culture for them.

I think it's also important to note and reflect on where these weeds really started to take root. If you look at pre-Gamergate, particularly on college campuses, there were a lot of campaigns and programs that were trying to address rampant and dangerous cultures of rape/sexual assault. You had a great number of on-campus initiatives and programs designed to get students to rethink what consent means, and to try to internalize how the power dynamics between the sexes makes for unequal interactions. Even simple ideas like trying to reframe thinking away from "no means no" to "yes means yes" were highly controversial and met with a lot of hostile and extreme reactions, so you can imagine the pushback when you start to introduce harder concepts like why a women might say "yes" because she's afraid of what might happen if she says "no". All of this started to percolate out into the bourgeoning internet culture, which would inevitably get subsumed into larger culture wars over gender relations before overtaking even politics itself.

And while they were important and well-intentioned programs, college is honestly far too late to be counter-programming with 101 lessons on sex and gendered relationships. Kids are already having sex in high school, so we have to be talking about these things even earlier than that if we want to be making a real difference. But as we saw in the Obama administration, the moral panic over even basic biology sex education in schools was extreme, and laid the groundwork for later conservative strategies around attacking acceptance of gay/trans children. And B-Dubs raises a good point below on how this doesn't even get into the more pernicious and difficult task of breaking the culturally assumed notion that men and women can only be linked or interact through sexual/romantic modes (which inflames a lot of the broader cultural issues around conceptions of masculinity).

These conversations and movements have always been exceedingly hard to have even when they occur on true neutral ground, let alone when you have an even worse equivalent of Big Oil/Tobacco actively working against you and sabotaging public sentiment and understanding every inch of the way through propaganda and indoctrination.

 

Jordan Peterson 2.0
People just want to be validated on what they already believe is true and this bag is more than happy to oblige.

But... that was not what Jordan Peterson said?

The problem is that we center manhood around the idea of forming relationships with women. That is inherently the problem we face. For a lot of guys, especially younger guys, going out with women is seen as a way to ascend to manhood and not as a way to find a companion or friend. In that way, women are not seen as people but as something to be obtained in service of a goal.

Manhood is essentially a conditional state, it is something that can be gained or lost, and is centered around a man's ability to enter into relationships with women. This is the core of toxic masculinity. If this does not change then the problems that result from toxic masculinity are going nowhere.

This guy has identified the problem, but then instead of looking to solve it he then doubles down on it. As a society we need to be looking to redefine manhood in the same way that we did for our definition of women.

This is one thing I've really noticed over the years. We are reversing millennia of human civilization so people can just sit at home and look at social media. I'm not perfect, I play a lot of video games and watch a lot of TV, but I make a conscious effort to get out into my community. Even just sitting at a bar and chatting up random people can help getting over that loneliness feeling.

The problem with this is most communities are also filled with Fascists and Trumpers.

I don't want to go out and interact with these people in social settings.

I get we need to fix this but this kind of gender essentialist stuff doesn't help. There are plenty of immature girls. There are many masking every day and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and autism because so much diagnostic criteria focuses on boys. There are definitely girls who would benefit from being held back. I probably would have since my social skills were behind my peers.

In the comments of the videos I saw of him on instagram and TikTok, a lot of women mentioned being interested in what he was saying, then turned off, then brought back in. So I get that some of his points are very WTF, but it seems like overall he's speaking to men in a way that is 1. reflective of current society 2. not completely toxic and right-wing a la Andrew Tate. So I figured he landed in "more good than bad" camp.

That said, I'm surprised some of you outright dislike him overall (I was not aware of him speaking on affirmative action or anything race-based at all). Are there some other better examples of men speaking directly to men that we can signal boost instead then?

Here's his take on affirmative action

Sounds about white.

 GOT EM

His podcast with Kara Swisher is wild because when they deviate from generic politics an tech into the manosphere stuff he will have some He-man takes she lets slide and im like, come on, lol.

He's got decent politics for a rich straight white wall street guy (not surprised his hate on affirmative action) and cares about democracy, but he's pining for a version of masculinity that never really existed hence the manosphere filling in that gap. Get rich, get swole, get hoes was always propaganda and putting the issue solely at bootstraps is like its been said in the thread is remixed Peterson.

His basics tho in regards to socioeconomic stuff not mad at even though he's a centrist but in America that makes him a card carrying member of Antifa. Hopefully won't see him tapdancing for Tucker for clicks in a few years

I'm tired of this conversation about men and our issues being dominated by grifters, hacks, frauds, and outright godawful people like Tate, Petersen, etc.

I've lost so many good men in my life who have suffered silently and quietly faded away or taken their own lives that if it takes a supposed moderate with some bad takes and a large audience like Galloway (I've not listened to his podcast or read his book) to start sensibly bringing attention to this issue and moving those lonely men away from the kinds of people I've mentioned, then I'll take it any day of the week.

Never let perfect be the enemy of good etc

I understand this, the issue for me is the bold. Some of these aren't just "bad takes." They give the game away.

I know that, despite being a fading medium, Era still has some young 20-somethings. But a lot of you are my age and up. We saw the rise of Jordan Peterson, and it's quite chilling to me how much Calloway mirrors it, right down to the way people are willing to excuse his bad takes.

It doesn't take much for an honest person to see the ways we as a society stunt young boys. What you prescribe for that is the measure of your honesty.

this fatty  

I don't have to 100% agree with everyting a person says. Someone I generally disagree with can still make a lot of good points. Scott Galloway is one of those people. He has a lot of really good points about how broken some of our systems are.

Do I agree with everything he says? Of course not. I don't 100% agree with ANYONE on this planet.

When woman and minorities tell you that a person is a fucking red flag and could become Jordan Peterson 2.0

Stop and listening to them, cause they accurately called out gamergate as it was forming and also, JORDAN PETERSON

Slow the fuck down and actually reach out to people in your circle. Not just sending YouTube video to debate/debunk them, what are the chance they gonna watch this shit. When they didn't even watch the excellent Innuendo Studio series on the alt right play book

THANK 👏 YOU 👏

It's because our definition of manhood is literally centered around a man's ability to get into a relationship with a woman. That's why the focus is there, because it plays into our collective idea of manhood and what a man needs to become a man.

Like I keep saying, that is fundamentally what needs to change if we want to fix the problem.

Anecdotal but its the opposite from what I hear from my teen nieces and daughters. They bring up that young men don't want to be in or commit to relationships but want access to many women / girls. Maybe its more young self identified incels that are the problem with wanting to emulate that level of toxic masculinity? My wife also works with a lot of at risk young men and the common thread she says with a lot of her clients is that they don't want to be told what to do and they want to be left alone for the most part. They gravitate towards authority figures that have a "you do you!" and "always follow your dreams" attitudes.

So, what your daughters and nieces are saying isn't actually going against my point. The way I framed it is, sadly, the "good" version. What they're talking about is the "bad" version. In reality both are bad, because they come from the same dynamic, but one is far worse.

Essentially, manhood is a conditional state, conferred upon us by our peers, and in order to achieve it we need to engage in ever escalating, often risktaking, behavior in order to meet the ever rising standard of "manhood" and if it is met the risktaking behavior needs to continue or you potentially lose that status.

I'd write more, but, honestly, I'm kind of exhausted constantly explaining the psychology of why young boys act the way they do lol

Does anybody here have this definition of manhood? B-Dubs keeps saying it's ours but it's definitely not mine.

It also runs head first into the reality of women having learned the lesson already with less dependency on marrying men to live and be happy, so there will always be straight men that will not get a romantic relationship with a woman, even if they are a great person. To tie it to their self worth is always going to end in failure.

Men need to support each other in a similar way women did when redefining expectations for women, which is easier said than done, because men have the weight of older men saying "it used to be better for you, just do these things and we can go back" while women have the existential motivation of the opposite. That isn't to put it all on men, because women contribute to those expectations as well, but it needs to come from men or the endless performative masculinity around those spaces doesn't go away.

 The fuck are these dudes talking about?

For me, it's not a question of whether someone is perfectly aligned or not (not to suggest that there can't be real issues about that as has been pointed out by others), it's whether they are tackling the problem such that they are addressing the root causes. I can look the other way on some non-core values if I think they're going to be an effective or productive actor for change.

Imagine we were arguing about pollution in our drinking water supply. Yes, we should absolutely invest in water filtering projects both public and private, making upgrades to public infrastructure, and educating the populace about the risks and dangers. But we should be mostly focused and talking about the entities dumping toxins into the local rivers that are responsible for the whole problem in the first place. So if someone talks about every downstream issue instead and avoids blaming or even addressing the guilty parties, it makes me question if they really understand the situation and how it works.

The primary focus of our attention and the most important thing to address is the root cause which is the companies/people that are actively polluting society by injecting toxic culture directly into it. If we don't stop that, we've implicitly lost the fight for a healthy and clean culture and now we're just arguing over what level of harm is acceptable to live with.

We cannot solve these big cultural problems in today's age if we don't address the elephant in the room that is the internet and social media, and the multitude of bad actors therein who are poisoning boys from the get go. We can't offer solely reactive treatments to ongoing harm, we have to be proactive and go after the big tech companies and social media algorithms which created and actively reinforce this entire state of affairs through moneyed interests. If we don't have an answer or a strategy for that, what does it matter how many male teachers we have in schools if kids spend all their free time being spoon fed extremist content by their phones.

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”.   Any single metric for decision‑making changes the behavior it measures, so it degrades the validity as an indicator of the goal itself.  Trying to enforce the internet for your version of “toxic content" or "bad actors” to transform them into the primary success target encourages those "bad actors" to change behavior just enough to pass the test - see people using euphemisms or other words to get by. Nick Fuentes just did a show about hiding your affiliation with his "groyper" movement until they reach the levers of power precisely because of this stuff.  So your metric will look better but whatever you consider the underlying harms still persist.  And every so-called "normal" person suffers under more and more restriction in a free society.  How about let people have conversations and openly air their grievances instead of becoming the biggest gang of cops on earth?

I think you've pretty well illustrated why it's too dangerous to allow elections where he doesn't appoint the candidates: fascists might win.

I have a friend who loves watching speedrunning

more than once I've been hanging out watching GDQ and his wife walks past the TV and she's like "are literally all the women in speedrunning men?" and he shrugs embarrassed like what-can-ya-do

Pffffft 
 
It’s extremely obvious whenever GDQ does events that highlight “women” in speedrunning and it’s just greasy long haired dudes back-to-back. The speedrunning and fighting game community are very similar in this regard

Do you think the people attracted to the repetitive movements inherent in speedrunning and fighting games might be a little autistic? 

Gee, trans community not escaping that accusation of it just being a mental health condition anytime soon...

What I really like about this is how it elides that no, they don't have an answer or strategy for that. He says it so definitively after paragraphs of a tirade that most will overlook that the previous sentence is neither an answer or a strategy just a vague command to do some violence to some people he's decided to blame for a vague problem he can't articulate and in his previous post said was the result of a completely different industry.

You see this in almost all their social media/internet threads (and most everything else) where they just yell "somebody needs to regulate this!" Or for gaming side where they yell "unionize!" I mean, you wouldn't want to dismiss concerns by denying that we need to do something and this is something. (Very much like Twitter where MAGA always wants people arrested as the solution to everything they dislike.)

I have an experience I would like to talk about, vent and get general input, but I would prefer if it's not tied to my username.

I definitely recall some kind of thread like that here or at the old place. Might have been a confessions type thing, but yeah, a thread where someone anonymously posts things others submit to them could potentially work.

The only thing is it's hard to have much of a discussion after that initial post with people who are chiming in. Unless it really is meant as an anonymous fire-and-forget vent thread.

The community ran a version of this every November, but it eventually got shut down because it just turned into people using it as an excuse to send bigoted messages and whatnot.

Metroid horror film. Please.

I feel like there is basically a horror film that is Metroid... Can't think of the name... On the tip of my tongue

Not one where character is a walking WMD though

So you don’t want a horror film.
