    Right-wing hot takes come and go, but their hatred and fear of the feminine endures

    My Uncle thought Covid was feminizing him too. Because only women go to hospitals. Well guess what? He died like a man, choking on his own lungs and refusing to let anyone drive him a mile down the road.

      I hope he knew that he owned me before he died.

        The last time I called him he was so happy about owning you that he wouldn't stop crying

      Who the hell told him only women go to hospitals that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. What if you cut a finger off would you by the powers of being a real man grow it back like a lizard

        Admitting that you need help is showing weakness and women are weak. It’s a pretty simple ideology to follow

    Explicitly equating covid’s life force with feminization is honestly a mask off I didn’t expect to see. That almost seems to risk alienating his female audience by saying they have less life force than men.

    Of course it won’t because they blindly love him but it would be such an unforced error if it somehow did.

      It's a natural extension of the antivaxxers calling themselves Purebloods and using lion/wolf iconography to represent themselves. Masks were rejected for the same reason by the people who need every commodity fetish in the world to prove that they're actually a big man.

    You know what? Sure. If that’s what you have to tell your piggy chud followers to get them to get vaccinated, fine. Covid-19 will forcibly feminize you! Get vaccinated or be feminized!

      This would be a good ad campaign for the CDC. Like regular Joe getting a cough, his voice suddenly gets higher, he wakes up with breasts, then it cuts to an actress in his clothes, they go to the vaccine clinic where bearded bodybuilders are getting the vaccine the nurses who give it to them swoon. With the switch from gray to full color like every other pharmaceutical ad too. Ends with a voiceover like "Studies show Covid-19 feminizes you, but the vaccine can protect you. Stay a man, get vaccinated today"

      I know it would be problematic, but if it gets the chuds to vaccinate it might be worth it.

        You don’t want it to look like a Cymbalta commercial. You want it to look like those ads that market water to men by slapping lightning and horses on the black label or whatever

      It's like the Breitbart article a couple months ago telling people to get vaccinated to own the libs, too many of the people that consume their content are dropping like flies and it's bad for business.

        It's hilarious how even UK chuds are baffled by the American brand of conservatism. But gotta keep licking that boot because you don't run the show anymore

          Because the UK only has a labour party and a tory party all the rich and powerful bougie women back the Tory party, this results in it being completely impossible to say or hold these kinds of absolutely absurd things. You'll piss off the Baronesses and then you'll get raked over the coals by the media.

          The conditions are different in the US because the bougie women have always had the liberals as an option instead. This makes rampant sexism as part of the culture war a viable option and creates a significant difference between our two political spheres.

    It lowers your life force = it feminizes you, huh? Fuuuuuuuuck yoooooooouuuuuuuu, Tucker. Fuck. You.

        It's utter nonsense for sure. I had the swine flu back when that was going around. It was the sickest I've ever been in my life, and it took months for me to feel really well again. I've never reacted like that to the flu before, so I thought there was something else wrong with me, went in for tons of tests, etc. Turns out I just needed time to recover.

        Guess what I didn't think when my "vitality was lowered" after the flu? I didn't think, "gee I feel so ultrafeminine right now!" No, I felt fucking sick!

        I know it's Tucker and his nonsense and misogyny is to be expected, but this one had me genuinely angry.

        ETA: I guess in his mind, man with Covid -->feminine; woman with Covid -->nowhere further down to go on the weakness scale, so just sick I guess.

    lmao Tucker Carlson has a morning show? Please tell me it has the exact same lighthearted chucklefuck tone but with Nazi propaganda. I don't want the serious face evening news hour in the morning. It has to be so unnaturally cheerful that you think they're on MDMA.

        Good morning New York! It's 6AM, 39°f on this chilly but fantastic morning to meet up with some friends and have a chat. Today we've got a very special guest. Chef Tony is going to teach us five neat recipes to feed white children when the immigrant hordes rampage across the countryside eating our grain like a biblical plague of locusts. I've never eaten bugs so this is exciting!

      Jose did a video about all of his shows but yeah his morning show is just as unhinged but with a focus on guests who are always establishment ghouls or war criminals (you know, the people Tucker is supposedly critical of from a populist perspective)

    When you really stop and think about it, much of history is just a series of insecure men trying to overcompensate out of fear of appearing insufficiently masculine.
