Kinda funny because I remember a video with some manosphere idiots talking to a crowd (must've been a conference or some sort of event), they were sitting on the stage, one of the "alphas" (i think it was andrew tate, bald idiot with a goatee) starts negging on another dude beside him, calling him a fat slob and ranting nonstop about how ugly he looks. Even the comments on the video were all "is the alpha dude gay? Why is he so worried about the guy being fat? Why does he want him to be muscular and hot?"

Kind of related: The most sexist shit I've ever heard came from the mothers of my partners.
I still wear tight trousers, to be fair. I'm just not into the super baggy look, it's not my thing 🤷♂️
I may be misremembering, so take this as potential bullshit, but I seem to recall there was a study (or just a survey?) that seemed to indicate, that onlineness for men generally correlated with less mysogyny than the overall population - with the exception of those explicitly in the "manosphere" bubble, who then spike on the far end of the spectrum.
Thinking back of how I remember groups of boys and men (which I was a part of) talking with each other offline before widespread internet access (or even now), that kind of made sense to me. I remember being often rather alone with my opinions and being told stuff like: "Just accept that sexism is funny." Especially thinking back to pre-internet teenage me, I had a lot of weird assumptions internalized that online exchanges, seeing actual, unfiltered opinions of women mostly, helped correct.
How could they have asked women? Everyone knows there are no women on the internet.
i like men with long hair and kind smiles :)
I miss having long hair. And enough hair to cover the whole head
I like you too 💕
I like those too, and kilts!
That's just Vin Diesel from the Pitch Black series.
I mean, dude had tons of feelings. They just got channeled into fury, because he was a Furyan (and had a ton of trauma).
Also, it's easy to be a serial killer when you're constantly surrounded by absolute assholes trying to kill you. The guy wasn't out there sacrificing babies and families for "line must go up."
if these people were actually vin diesel the world would be an infinitely better place, vin diesel is great
the man had the opportunity to turn his cool edgy OC into several movies and games, took it, and made it good
Every love song by a woman will tell you what women want.
My favorite example is “Whatta Man”
Yes! This is legit one of my favorite songs by two of the best R&B bands of the early '90s, and I love the way they describe the man. Nothing unattainable, and most of it isn't about his looks at all but rather about his personality. Mature, secure, attentive, kind.
It's confidence and DGAF, if anyone is wondering. A good sense of humor helps too.
If you're chill, respectful, and can make her laugh, most of the time you have a shot
Symmetrical features, affability, money, purpose is my order
As an autistic in a sales role: Affability can be learned.
See, I actually dislike this a lot, because while it should be poking fun at far right chuds, it just generalizes to straight men on the internet instead.
Congrats to the author, the only thing this has done is fuel the gender divide and turned a few more young men to far right politics, and this is the sort of thing used as proof to make them feel under attack as straight men.
it does pretty clearly say "extremely online", which is a common distinction these days for people who are disconnected from reality.
If insecure people are pushed to the far right because of this, I'm not sure it's the comic that's at fault. You're asking everyone to walk on egg shells so we don't hurt people's feelings and I just don't think that's realistic. It's not too much to ask for people to not be shitty.
If you are told all day that you are under attack, then go onto a supposedly more tolerant space and what you see if people attacking you, then it's naïve to think it will not affect you.
This is just a massive own goal, and is entirely avoidable by targeting the right butt of the joke, rather than aiming large, having collateral damage and saying "you're only offended if you feel targeted". That's not fighting the good fight, that's just being a hateful shithead on the internet.
Straight men are the least targeted group. If any of them feel targeted, it's because they are exactly the type of guy in the comic. I say this as a straight guy. Compared to my queer and women friends, I'm cruising through life. I might catch the occasional stray from a comic while they have to fear legislation limiting their rights.
My best friend of 15 years is the guy in this comic. I tried for years give him another perspective and keep him from going far right but it didn't work and now I've completely cut him off. I have no sympathy for somebody who is self victimizing. The actual victim is not the one that needs to change their behavior to protect the fragility of the wannabe victim.
