    Reactionaries: "Nobody can take the woke SJW's and their 27 genders seriously!"

    Also reactionaries: "There is a type of male for each letter in the Greek alphabet!"

          Only when I'm holding the controller.

          Did you just reply with a tracking pixel? Explain yourself fed.

            What's a tracking pixel? Don't tell me Google's image search has let me down

            Edit: swapped image link

              It's a small image usually with a url specific to the recipient. The distributor usually monitors when the image is downloaded from their server and what IP address is requesting it.

              The most common case is for companies to monitor if/when certain email addresses open an email. This is why email providers often make you hit the "load images" or "always load images from this sender" button before it loads images.

              I honestly think chapo should have its own image hosting. I think it's a pretty big vulnerability for malicious actors to track users here.

                It already does for posts, mind you. Also, you can start an image post, upload your image, never submit the post, and then the image is hosted on Chapo's servers and you can link it; though that's a side effect of the way the form works and I imagine any image not actually linked to an actual post will eventually get wiped by a crontab or similar.

    I'm a ligma male personally. Going to start a 5 part YouTube/tiktok series for incels explaining the ligma male, those type of videos seem to be a good grift at the moment

    Also the phrase "sexual market" :cringe:

      When you don't understand both women and capitalism, you tend to use phrases like that.

      Do chuds know how unattractive calling relationships a market is? Oh bby I love being called a product.

      Like brah, I won't date you because you're a highly strung hierarchy obsessed weirdo that puts people into categories and is probably misogynistic, not because you're a 'beta' or whatever.

      Also I find the idea that I'd discard of a guy if he doesn't have resources really fucking insulting.

        I'm into it... Which is problematic because 90% of the guys that are into it are some sort of predator. Basically refuse to explore it because there's too many of them that would genuinely like a society where women are just meat.

        Yeah this pretty much. The way some people view relationships through some pseudo transactional lens really infuriates me. Like oviously don't be a complete deadbeat or anything, but it's a human relationship, this isn't build a person where someone handpicks the traits they want from someone in exchange for their own. Like what happened to spending time and building relationships (both romantic and platonic) with others because you enjoy their company and have fun with them?

    Please tell me someone didn't make this sincerely :che-smile:

    Also the idea of Wario being successful with women :visible-disgust:

    Also doesn't Luigi have a girlfriend? Doesn't Bowser have a kid? I'm so confused.

        Seems like a "How can we use sexual frustration as a recruitment method for fascist cells?" correct?

        Break young males down into specific groups based on their relationship to sexual frustration, get them to label themselves based on this, build a culture around this, then use that to funnel them into fascist pipelines.

        I suspect it also ties into some historical stuff? I'm sure there are some war strategists in history that have written about male sexual frustration being a functional tool of army building. Sun Tsu? Hmm I'm not sure where I've come across that before but I vaguely think I've seen it from some medieval or earlier general or strategist somewhere.

        Either way I think it works, idleness from lack of relationship, frustration, social ostracisation. The anger it generates is very easy to channel into a fashy military machine promising glory and status.

          Most of them are in it for the money not to recruit fascists. Obviously they're all super reactionary but it seems to be more about exploiting people's reactionary instincts to bring them into this weird club rather than the other way around.

          I've honestly never come across people more entrenched in their self hatred than those who believe in incel ideology. About ten years ago, i stumbled upon them on /r9k/. They didn't call themselves incels back then, instead using terms like " foreveralone" or "permavirgin". As naive and bloomerish as i was back then, i thought "hey, i'm a socially awkward nerd and still happy with my love life, i know a ton of other socially awkward nerds that are the same, maybe i can help these people." Boy, was i wrong. You can't get through to them. Nothing works. Ten years later, i came across the ContraPoints video about incels and it turns out they now have memes to counter every. single. thing. people might tell them that goes against their notion of being irredeemably unfuckable.
