Remember, it’s the queer people who are cringe.

    Gotta break out that bell hooks:

    The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.

    For a lot of these dudes, the raw sexism is a natural outgrowth of internalizing patriarchy so hard that they start performing those rituals of power on themselves. In the same way that cops give themselves PTSD by training themselves to imagine would-be killers lurking around every corner for their every waking moment. The call is truly coming from inside the house.

      On themselves and others within their 'community', yeah. I wonder how far gone people usually already are when they decide to enter and stay in one of these toxic acid baths masquerading as online communities, wherein collective self-mutilation of this style is not only encouraged but rationalized as the only possible response to suffering

      Go read bell hooks, folks, especially the rocking dudes of you

        Chanlords often try to brag about how "numb" they are after watching snuff videos or whatever, and it's a competition among them to strive to be the most psychically mutilated unfuckable hate-nerd.
