Remember that when skanks say “ugh men are __“ these are the guys they’re dating. Don’t take it personally.

but are they wrong

yet another conspiracy theory that has turned in to conspiracy fact

In my view, there was a period around 2006 where "pick up artists" were sort of becoming a thing, and by about 2008 every piece of establishment media smashed that idea down as bad and evil and skeezy. It was shortly after that when "incels" started to really start to pick up.

I know the pick-up artists aren't the most popular folks around, but their whole core conceit is that you can be a better man, you can change yourself to become more attractive, you can carry yourself different, and you can speak different, and you can think about the world different and eventually you'll be the sort of man who can attract the sort of woman you want to be with long-term. For most men, that's when their pick-up artist story ends, because you don't need it anymore. That even happened to the author of the infamous book "The Game".

If you crush that idea, then what's left? Well, if it isn't just a skill set, if you can't become better then it's just fate for you to be worse. You're not alone because you're not doing the right things, you're alone because God created you in the image of inferiority and your inherent inferiority is a cross for you to bear alone until death, then of course those people are going to be bitter and resentful towards the chads who were granted the gift of superiority by God, and the Stacies who were granted the gift of discernment between the inferior and the superior by God.

There's a pathology, but it isn't necessarily in disaffected young men. It's a societal pathology where they've told a group of people they're worthless and that it's morally evil to try to become less worthless, and anyone who tries to help you become less worthless is morally evil themselves.

Then we have all these women who would be perfectly happy with these men who are often just missing one or two ideas towards becoming really good men, and they can't find any men at all because we've ground the men down into paste so they won't even try a little anymore. So now you have unhappy lonely men and unhappy lonely women and somehow this is supposed to be a good thing.

A lot of people talk about dating websites and how 1% of the men get 90% of the female attention. This is often mentioned as a talking point about how terrible dating sites are for the 99% of men, but really it should be about how it's terrible for everyone. That top 1% of men with unlimited choice aren't as happy as you'd think, the 90% of women chasing the 1% of men who get unlimited choice aren't happy, and of course the 99% of men who don't get any attention aren't happy.

tl;dr: The world would be better off if we stopped telling men they can't and shouldn't try being better than they are. It's false, it leads to harmful outcomes, it isn't better for women, it isn't even good for the gigachads.

That tracey guy really hit a nerve because he’s just inundated with NAFO (ukrainian employees and gullible retards) faggots (i repeat myself) but sometimes there’s a funny one.

“Dude, russia will totally lose, have you seen their GDP? How many graphic designers, CGI retouchers, how many Avon makeup sales girls or Lululemon dealers do they have?!?!? Haha, what can they do with a bunch of mining, smelting, processing, drilling, and manufacturing to beat us?!?!“

Capitalism is NOT a moral system. It is an economic system.

That means good and bad things can occur during capitalism. Capitalism does not cause or prevent bad things from happening. That's up to the moral character of that population.

You judge an economic system by the quantity and quality of resources it produces. That's it.

When your target audience is Hollywood…..

That stinker sold so few tickets, it’s clear that not even that many gay men went to see it.

And they spent $22M to make it. It’s generally thought that it takes 2-3x the production budget to make money (think distribution, marketing, etc.). Opening weekend was at best $5M.

Now while opening weekend is your best shot at making money, sometimes you can make it up in other places like foreign box office (think Asia). Except those big markets really don’t like gay content. So much so that the production companies generally cut out such scenes before shipping it overseas. Can’t really do that here.

So, yeah, this is a true bomb. The only good thing to come out of it is that the odds of getting a big budget gay romcom green lighted just plummeted. If this is what you want to push this isn’t the way to do it. You do a low-budget film and show it at festivals, art houses, etc. and see if you can generate buzz from there. Only if that happens do you do a full distribution and if it becomes a hit, you can get a big budget project. They did it backwards
