And I read a lot of complaints about a woman leading a movie called Mad Max.
richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to deal with the fact that you've outgrown your friends and that most of them are not considerate or even good people?11·2 months agoI dont do it on purpose but the stress of life is honestly becoming overwhelming for me and it does spill over to effect my plans with my friends.
Have the decency to cancel fast, then.
Frankly, at the second time you fail an agreed time without timely warning, I’d drop you like a hot potato and go fully NC.
richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?1·2 months agoAsimov is so, so difficult to read through now that I’m older, as the female characters are just… ouch.
Case in point: Noys Lambent in The End of Eternity. She was added by editor mandate, and she’s hollow: a kept woman who’s secretly a perfid ally of an opposing faction. The hero is somewhat redeemed by his understanding that the rebel cause is just, but she’s pure cardboard and eye candy. 13 y.o. me loved her. Years later… She’s cringeworthy.

Whedon’s work in particular caters to his particular fetish, small women kicking ass. Compare Buffy, Dollhouse, Firefly, The Nevers.

I’m sure the whiners hate the cutesy scenes with Newt and love the Queen Fight.
richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?4·2 months agoThose movies work because the female leads are just good.
The usual suspects whined about Furiosa, precisely because as you say the movie was about her.
The selling point isn’t that they have women in them, the selling point is they are really really good movies.
Yeah, but whiners whined anyway.

richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?2·2 months agoThere are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead
They probably would, if she acts like a man.

US defaultism in action, it seems.

richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?11·9 months agoSo working on yourself and improving yourself, building self-respect, setting personal standards that you refuse to compromise on, and focusing on intrinsic motivation is somehow “not boding well”?
That is not what MGTOW means in reality, and you know it. Stop playing coy.
richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?1·9 months agothe ad hominem of tying anything RP/BP to being “incel-speak”, in an attempt to silence any discussion in favour of the ideological narrative.
We don’t need to “discuss” misogynistic postulates, the same way we don’t need to “discuss” if black people have souls. The request for “discussion” beliefs your position and reveals you’re beyond any possible redemption and that conversation is pointless.
richieadler@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?21·9 months agoRedpill and Blackpill, I’m assuming.
Incel-speak.

People invoke 2A usually lie, and the reason to arm themselves is to kill dark skinned people they don’t like.
