    Whoever lives a life in which their greatest worry is video games is someone who has a life that is a bit too comfortable.

    I play almost every game now as a cute girl so I can play dress up. That seems way more masculine to me than obsessing over some big “manly man”

      I played warzone with two friends and a guy i didn’t know. He lost his shit because i was playing the female character. I thought it was a joke, he refused to play with me.

        I post a lot on 4chan in my spare time. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed, a lot of guys(?) seem to get really, really angry when they hear about dudes picking girl characters. It’s very bizarre.

            GTA online is… not a pleasant place to be in.

            Side note, I really want to play as Junko in GTA V but can’t find the mod since all the ones are for San Andreas and Vice City when you search it, along with the rest of DR ones except Monokuma which thankfully is in V.

    If they want soldierdude, one of those is released every twenty minutes, even today.

    The best selling game of 2008 that released in 2008 was…Mario Kart Wii. I mean, Mario has a pretty nice moustache but I am not sure that is the hypermasculine game they are looking for.

    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

    That being said, I indeed was the one who killed masculinity!

    they take themselves seriously?

    well…they’re defining as gamers and unironically praising cawadooty as “peak of masculinity” and using reactionary rhetoric even when they want more of the thing that is usually they define as “degeneracy” in their games
