I'm speaking in general, I don't think there are any (serious) topics about men actually up right now, but I know that when there were topics calling out how various types of men treat women these people certainly weren't in there trying to minimize the complaint or make the TC look bad. >_>

It's just that usually some people do bring up discrimination against guys, hets and whites so as to dismiss the discrimination of old or even to suggest them obsolete.

Also Im not saying you are gaslighting but I feel like this kind of response is close to it. If I am bothered by this now I have to wonder am I a good person? When the reality of the situation is that these type of comments should have never been made in the first place.

So you never vented or said anything that makes you wish you could slap younger you senseless?

Yes, you absolutely should be offended at the idea that a man and a wild animal are in any way equal.

If you dont mind your intellect being grouped with animals then do you I guess but yeah thats offensive to me.

I mean when I see how smelly or unsightly public, it's hard to be sure if they are used by a civilized person.

It's also why I bring up victim blaming.

1. Really who's doing damage to our gender more? The woman who reports her male predator and vents about men in the heat of the moment? Or the guy perpetuating such behavior?

2. And when you think about it, victim blaming entails suggesting that men can't control their urges. So while trying to defend a male predator, they dismiss countless other guys who have self control.

So more like good men suffer more from our own gender ironically.

I agree that I hear anti-women stuff. Its real and I wont deny it. I do think theres a difference between hearing one off statements and hearing a repeated message over and over.

Yeah saying men are trash once isnt damaging. But when you hear that everyday over the span of multiple years I think even the strongest man may question himself a little bit.

Well that's why I asked you if you thought old fashion prejudices are minimal or still significant. Not so much that being a victim of bigotry makes them right, but that white hetero men still have more breaks despite any level of anti-men rhetoric.

And even if you aren't guilty of it, we have people who again do insist on treating say sexism and racism as just opinions or defending someone guilty of predatory behavior. Yeah, I do think a certain Presidential win in 2016 is the worst example of such.

Yeah, it's fucking vile.

Heck, I often wonder at times when it comes to people making light of bullying if it's just lack of understanding or people who condone such, but don't have the nerve to admit it.

2. Im not sure I understand this question. Sexual assault is always wrong. Always disgusting. I had an ex that was assaulted. I would have hunted that man down myself.

Cool. It's just that like with bigotry in general, some think it is enough not to be bigoted or predatory and patting themselves on the despite oh say not coming down critically when discussing bigots/predators.

Like they don't understand or care that enabling is just as bad.

And just like bigotry in general, you hear guys or Caucasians talking about how we can be on the receiving end, it usually is to dismiss old fashioned targets.

Basically some people don't take a stance against bigotry unless targeted themselves.

I hate commercials that act like the dad of the household is an incompetent dipshit that needs his wife to save the day on basic, everyday tasks! I know how to work a fucking washing machine, Tide!!

Yet sitcoms back in the 60s for example the wife had to ask the husband's permission for something in the same way that a child would.

And have you seen those Folgers Coffee commercials where the wife is treated like shit cause her coffee came out bad?

How did I start the topic lacking good faith? There was literally an entire discourse about how being locked in a room with a bear is better than being in a room with a man.

This is not something I made up.

1. Do you think things have improved for women enough that they are no longer in danger of sexism?

2. When a women has suffered from rape/assault is your response:

A. The person who did so is trash or....
B. A poor misunderstood victim who can't control natural urges?

I dont care because I can obviously see the disingenuous approach being taken. Im not gonna even give energy to people clearly not debating in good faith.

Let me step back and rephrase this. I care when people meet me half way. I dont care when people are being condescending.

I mean when you start a topic lacking good faith, then you have no business expecting any in return.

@VRX3000
and thats not counting every single sex pest just bugging them for sex every day just for simply existing. even if they dont get physically assaulted, that is still a daily aggravation.

And even the ones not committing predatory acts? Well the ones who will victim blame instead of condemning the sexual predator are part of the problem.

I never liked him and his videos. The whole excessive cursing, absolute rage and potty humor always came off a cringe, low hanging fruit entertainment for the likes of 12 year olds. Which, I suppose given the time, was a pretty large market. Obviously so since the bit absolutely flourished back then.

Always confused me that my friends still today rewatch the old videos and laugh their asses off. I don't find it funny or entertaining. What are they getting out of it I'm not?

I mean as far as angry reviews of video games go, it just captures the annoyance/frustration when we were doing good on games and lost, sometimes either playing poorly and/or games having fake difficulty.

Kind of laughing at ourselves when we get worked up over game woes.

ok this context does make things clearer. i generally hate romance in media
Honestly I feel like romance is given a bad shaft beyond gender dynamics.

Like even if a joke or action scene fumble there is still some enjoyment of them, but romance has to be perfect or minimal/absent.

It's been confirmed the dialogue in the Japanese version has been updated to make it more clear/direct, too, so I wonder what excuse those "I just want accurate localization" types will come up with next.

Well that bit in Mario RPG where Mario poses as a statue was localized differently from the SNES version. Closer to the Japanese script I believe, but here was speculation on why it is no longer Plumber's Lament:
"Observe...the thick mustache...covering the sad, innocent smile of a simple fool...And the sideburns conveying his blue collar roots."

It was most likely because of this line. Because people can't take a simple joke these days. Today people are offended by everything and will immediately refer to this funny joke as meaning all (manual labor workers) agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining, or maintenance workers etc., as being sad fools. Which obviously isn't true.

That's why... And it's ridiculous. This is what cancel culture has done to our society. People getting insulted over nothing, at the drop of a hat and acting like fragile snowflakes.

@Aztex
Captain Marvel was placed between the last 2 Avengers movies and people were told that they would have to watch it because you would need to know something on Captain Marvel to watch Endgame. If this wasn't the case no one would care about it.

She-Hulk no one cares about if everyone was burned down from Marvel then Ant-man, Guardians, Black Panther 2 wouldn't have made any profit. The only ones that performed bad and were those two. Even the Guardians Christmas special did well.

To those telling me to define woke you can do that yourself I would like to add that Tiktok went woke and it's on its way to being broke

So all of those older comic companies like Hamilton, Gold Key, Charlton and so on that went out of business. You telling me they got broke for being Woke even though some folded before the 90s?

That was prior to a black man becoming POTUS. But even back in the day, they've ALWAYS appropriated positive words and twisted them, i.e. "PC" and "SJW". As Kradek says above, it's now"woke" and "DEI." Bigots are nothing if not consistent.

It's also kind of a "Everything was better in my day" where even the flaws of then are acknowledged, it's romanticized as not being a big deal.

Heck just look Star Wars. You would think people critical of crap and not liking the Disney era films would at least acknowledge the panned Prequels.

But nope. Not even tolerable crap, but unsung masterpieces.

I honestly never played it, but I get what you mean. If its inline with the status quo, but still feels forced, does it get the same criticism? The simple answer is no, because the mainstream culture is adjusted to it. Its not fair by any stretch, and an example I could give would be the original romance in Eternals. Zero chemistry, completely forced, but the only complaints I saw were some on the Movies board upset about a conspiracy; not sure how many different users, I just remember the basic premise.

Speaking of such, one of my favorite examples of Marvel screwing up Pre-2016 or Pre-2010s is the Spider-Man story One More Day.

Even if Anti-Woke people concede it is bad some insist it's still tolerable than any diversity based decision in comics. Yeah story which even if undone has been kept in place for a decade and then some, further infantized Spider-Man and had him making a very unheroic choice is seen as the good old days to some.

He is, and the reasons you listed are why the bar is so low. Look at the progressive policies that were passed decades ago in the rest of the world and try to say hes done a lot with any degree of seriousness. The barriers between him and his ability to do it doesnt change the reality that ,out of it he doesnt want to do anyway.

Perhaps, but would you at least agree that it can be just as problematic to expect any candidate now or later to be perfect?

@CRON
I'm 100% in support of this but I can't fault people for wanting to back to certain eras. It feels like pop culture stopped at a certain point and we've been in this extended era where all culture is just recycling tropes here and there.

Either way, take say animation or comics (Or Graphic Novels). I often feel like a problem with entertainment is too much focusing on the bad and not enough effort into seeking out the good.

Like you hear more bashing of say Velma and not enough praising Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which okay former is for adults and latter being for kids.

But the latter is legit good, plus you had treasures like The Owl House or The Ghost and Molly McGee that were good and even entirely original properties that despite people claiming they want original properties, miss out on them entirely.

Which yeah sometimes I think it is deliberate so that people can maintain the claim that nothing good ever comes out.

Amalgam Universe resident Born in 82.
Yeah, sometimes the "Go Woke Go Broke" crowd will concede crappiness to be a constant part of entertainment, but even then claiming that every crap before say 2016 was all at least tolerable.

Doubtful, but even then, if GWGB was really about quality, you'd think one using the phrase wouldn't be so willing to grade on a curve, even if something is politically acceptable to them.

No they were woke
Don't let bigots sully the word
Being woke is just being basic decency
Yes those films are woke because they have female leads who don't exist as far material

To he woke is to he a decent person
People who use woke as a negative are just not good people and hate anyone who is

And really there is more of it before the 2010s or 2000s.

Easily a prime example is Captain America punching Hitler. It was used as an attention getter on the cover to Captain America Comics #1.

It was a real and specific figure (i.e. People will claim Anti-Trump material is acceptable if Trump himself isn't shown specifically like say the late 80s Superman comics VS S3 of Young Justice) in a less flattering fashion.

And it was telling the audience that Nazis need to be punched rather than reached out to.

Yet people claim it (A Nazi being punched) was subtle, not relied on for money and nuanced.
