    I'll repeat the sentiment I've heard here before: why do chuds do this to themselves? Don't they realize they can still watch the media they enjoy? I thoroughly disagree with their reactionary drivel, but I agree that plenty of the Hollywood slop these days is not that good. So what? Just go watch old movies, or foreign film, indie, anything. They can only complain. It's exhausting.

      All they have is the slop. Foreign films and indies are liberal or worse, and any movie that isn't action slop is boring and for women. What old movies are they supposed to watch? Cowboy movies? Stalin loved those, they're woke commie garbage. Action? The effects aren't as good. No, they have nothing, especially not since their wife took the kids...

      They would have nothing else to talk about.

      They just want to complain but the only thing they know about or care about is their treats. So they complain about the treats.

        The true fall of the West real-navi-patriot is that these chuds are holding on to Marvel as their most sacred cultural institution. You are hanging on for dear life hoping that movies about unserious supercops beating each other to restore the status quo to bring meaning back to your life. Literally hopeless nation. Shameful.

        Think about it, are we supposed to take out Spiderman and SpongeBob? They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large land mass, but it doesn't have any heroes, all of their heroes are cartoon characters, they're all fictional.

          The obsession over fictional characters these people have is absurd. And even then, the core of some of these characters goes against what they believe. How could, for example, Spider-Man not be against guns? The first thing that happens in his story is his uncle being killed

      The best explanation I’ve heard for this phenomenon is that they’re man children who don’t want to accept that the reason new Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, etc doesn’t make them feel the way they did when they were nine years old watching the originals is, they’re not nine anymore. They’re adults, they don’t have the wide-eyes wonder anymore, they’ve developed enough to see weak plots and poor suspensions of disbelief that nine year old them wouldn’t pick up on. They can’t just watch the old films because that will just be nostalgic, instead of recreating that feel they had watching it for the first time.

      But rather than accept that perspective of media is something they’ve lost, they keep going back to the slop hoping beyond hope it will come back. And when it doesn’t, they get disappointed and mad and, hey here’s a culture warrior saying the problem with modern media is woke and DEI and feeeemale. Now there’s an outlet, an explanation that isn’t growing up.

        That's a good explanation. But why are chuds so stuck in the past? Why can't they move on and just watch something that makes them happy?

          Because then they have to accept the loss and temporality of that feeling and time in their life and that’s a scary/depressing thought for some people.

          There are a lot of people that do not have an internal monologue going, and thus do not ever really do introspection unless prompted. This isn't just a chud phenomena, liberals and leftist do it to (though leftists far less ime, as to become a leftist in the U.S. usually requires a lot of introspection). They don't move on because it doesn't occur to them that they should move on. Hell at this point they are probably more focused on the drama around the media than the media itself. They are consuming more media about media, than primary media.

      At least you say this and go on to actually follow through. These chuds probably torture themselves hatewatching the soulless slop garbage and generate more buzz than any fans do.

        They will complain about things like this, then still go out and watch it. They'll say they hate watch. But the execs of Netflix/Amazon/Disney don't know that, nor do they care. They still got your time and money.

        Ironically doing something is still doing the thing.

          Like seriously even if you MUST see it on the big screen just wait by the exit till people walk out. The underpaid teenagers at the front of house don't give a single fuck about you sneaking in.

    men are threatened by action movies for women because they imply the possibility of tender romcoms for men, which would be terribly threatening

      Will the romcom for men still have the meetcute>secret comes out or fight occurs which destroys the relationship>differences are settled and relationship is reformed plot pattern?

      I'm not knocking it for being unoriginal mind you, nothing is original (certainly not action movies)- I just can't handle the stress of knowing the couple is definitely going to break up some time in the next hour when the couple is getting together originally. I get too nervous for them.

          True.

          Speaking about big divorce energy, I always find it funny when divorced dudes publicly proclaim how they want “real people and relationships” in their life.

        Shadow of Mordor pissed me off by committing a crime that belongs in a 14 year old's fanfics: taking a completely inhuman and primordial monster and turning it into a generic sexy lady, for some reason, with no explanation

        Seriously what they did to Shelob makes me cringe so much that I literally can't take anything else in the series seriously by association

    Everything is woke because women in movies/video games aren't "conventionally" attractive anymore.
