do you actually think the term "trope" originated with the website tvtropes

weird leap in logic for you to make, there

i never said toxic femininity didn't exist
all i said was that toxic masculinity, as a concept, is not sexist

it's obvious at this point that you literally just see the word masculinity and get pissed, not even bothering to understand what toxic masculinity actually means
you've been explained it more than enough times and there's really not much clearer you can be than "harmful, artificial, enforced gender roles" but you just really don't seem to care to read it

I understand it well, I just apply that bullshit to the opposite sex and it painted how crazy it is.

what about "society needs to stop holding such self-destructive expectations for men" could possibly be sexist? it's not like it's any different from "women should be able to do more with themselves"
it's like you just see the word masculinity and go apeshit over it

I guess no one told tc the war is over and gay people won.

it's weird that people say this, as if the civil rights and social justice battles all just suddenly ended with all the homophobes no longer being homophobic

tvtropes is the fucking worst

That is not weird, if people are suggesting any negative stereotype that is place on men is a toxic masculinity no matter how does it , then that is sexist .

it's amazing just how much you try not to understand the subject

nobody ever actually points to examples of lgbt+ characters being defined by their sexuality

"but you are the real sexists!" is such a weird counterargument

So why didn't the add feature women engaging in toxic masculinity too?

did you actually watch? the woman's questioning the man's choice of a more-feminine product
whataboutism is the worst btw

i love how threads on this board are always written with the assumption that someone's a man, either straight or gay, rather than actually daring to think someone would be a woman

people on this board always get pissed about cam girls making money with their bodies, yet they also obsess over porn stars all the fucking time, with ass and boob megathreads
it's like people don't actually want women to make a living doing what they want, just to do it for free or in a way that won't "detract" from a man somehow

people get irrationally upset whenever they're told anything, even if that anything is a perfectly valid and healthy message
people also love to seemingly-intentionally misconstrue "toxic masculinity" as an attack on men in their entirety

you also get a lot of "b-b-but what about x!" whenever this subject comes up, too

not this pretentious discussion again

shaming someone in front of millions is a needlessly cruel thing to do

the entire ranch

if you intentionally word everything as minimally as possible then yeah, it can sound like a mad lib

people are really dumb with their "people can't be anything but a straight white dude unless it's strictly necessary" shit
it reminds me a lot of the "i love you people, honest, i just don't want you being visible or open around me" crap that people toss it to pretend that they're not bigots

it's nice to refer to people with it
literally the only problem is that it's slightly ambiguous with its several meanings, but people are weirdly outraged whenever people suggest new pronouns

avoiding moderations is ludicrously easy
you have to be either actively trying or super obnoxious to be modded, and even then people always get away with it

Steven Universe is for people whom think pancakes are never wrong. Surprise.

who*

because people have this "oh i love gays, just don't act gay near me" mentality

"x did nothing wrong" is such a weird dumb meme

it sucks more often than not
i like the unscripted, flowing feeling to the dialogue (people don't just wait for their turn) but good lord people just don't shut up and the jokes can drag on way too fucking much

GEX

it's not even the rare turn-based rpg with enough depth to make battles fun
people just want their power trip

i don't know why people would ever want to see this

imagine being foolish enough to be anti-vax

butter sandwich

"hit weakness and buff/debuff turn 1" overcentralizes the series and i don"t understand the difficulty perception the series has when it's so basic to the point that every fight plays the same and demons mostly play the same

nocturne has extremely overpowered buffs and debuffs, making things deal less than a quarter of their regular damage with hitrates below 15% so you don't need exploits, but even after the nerfs to buffs they still feel really strong in 4

there are multiple fight in strange journey where after turn 1 i literally held down a and won because weakness exploits are so overly rewarding in these games and mitigating damage and boosting evasion are two really easy ways to never die
the series feels like a test in resistance tables than a test of smarts dince often times all that changes between fights is whether or not you use ice or volt

i like the series as easy comfort food but it isn't very intelligently designed and many parts of the battle swing way too hard in the player's favor for real challenge beyond some poorly designed superbosses or some of the more rng-focused fights, like how ouroboros is a joke but there is the nonzero percent chance of being petrified amd losing

it's pretty basic and easy with tons of ways to break the game, like every other smt

3ds version adds a bad optional dungeon which breaks level scaling and some of the new commander skills and apps make the game easier, but since the only "hard" fights the original had were only hard because of really dumb mechanics (1/4 chance to game over every time ma was casted) it doesn't really matter and the remake is overall cleaner, faster, and more fluid

the meme died off really fast

this is some 1980s shit

pretty socially irresponsible

Beating the shit out of eachother in bloody combat is fine, just don't show titties!

i always wonder if people like you are just intentionally missing the point

what's with these weird "i'm not sexist, honest" people making these posts

the people who make all the softcore porn threads are pretty gross
all the ones who constantly lust after women and harass female users are also pretty bad

it's weird that knuckles is associated with black culture when, in sonic adventure, everything about the echidnas was pretty specifically based on mayan culture
people mentioning game & watch are pretty lame and predictable, like all the unoriginal people who always eagerly jump to proclaim dedede and wario the sexiest characters in the game

too bad the game sucks

no, because i'm not a dumbfuck racist

it's so weird
like, people aren't aware that they're just stoking the flames of racism by calling it the chinese flu
it's as if people have no idea how communication works

jumping from panel to panel wouldn't be as cool if done from any other perspective

people still say this in 2020?

anti-vax people are actually a danger
straight pride people and the like are really butthurt and bitter people

I was unprepared for that ending.

how weren't you? it was only the most predictable thing he could have done

it's so weird how people capitalize random nouns
