“Women’s requirements are too high!”

I saw a “how to attract a partner” meme made by incels and some of the things that they’re bitching about are weird.

Like “women want men who have a career and a car.” Don’t you want a career for yourself? And if you live in a community where a car is needed, don’t you want one? Being able to transport yourself is freeing. Don’t you want those things for yourself?

“Women want you to have friends and hobbies!” Don’t you want a fun thing to do in your free time aside from sitting at home? I know it’s hard to make friends as an adult but I joined a recreational softball league this summer. That’s a good way to meet people and a hobby. It’s good for you to have a hobby and have friends. Shouldn’t you want those things?

“Women want you to have an education” sure, college is expensive but you can get a decent education at community college for relatively cheap. I worked while going to school online. It’ll take longer but you can do it’s. Trade school is great. You can make really good money practicing a trade. Having more opportunities in your life is a good thing. Why not try and pursue those opportunities?

“Women want you to go to the gym everyday.” Not really? I don’t think the majority of women like roided out muscle men. Women want a partner who tries to take of themselves. Go for a walk once a day. That’s free. Eat a vegetable. Try and balance your diet a little. Wash your face. Drink some water. Those healthy habits that are good for you and will make you feel better. Also you’ll look better.

Women want potential partners to have happy, full, fulfilled lives. I don’t understand why that’s mean or bitchy or cruel. These are things you should want for yourself.

“Ugh women want me to better myself! Too hard. Too much work.”

TL;dr Most of what women want in a boyfriend/husband are things you should want for yourself. I don’t see why that’s bad. You should want a partner that wants the best for you.

#The things they complain about are so wild to me #All of these “egregious things” that women want men to have are just basic things that make people's lives better #The car is hit or miss #If you live in the city a car can sometimes be more of a hassle than it's worth (and an unnecessary expense)#If you're walking distance to a lot of necessities and the public transport system where you live is decent you may be better off without #But friends? Hobbies and interests? A decent diet and some physical activity? A job? An education?#Those are all things that people should want for themselves

Some Scary Stories inspired Slashers

#Also a lot of the older generations just like #Don't stop doing what they're comfortable with #If you grew up with CDs you're gonna keep buying CDs until they stop manufacturing them #And you have no choice but to stop #They can pry CDs and skinny jeans out of my cold dead hands

If that many people are making that much noise about wanting and expecting a specific thing, it shouldn't come as a huge shock that giving them the exact opposite isn't going to go over well. Especially when the execution is extremely poor and nonsensical.

#This is about ST #“We blocked out the noise”#Then why are you shocked by the results?#If the feedback is deafeningly loud in favor of one outcome #And you barely hear a peep in support of what you were apparently planning to do #You shouldn't be completely thrown when your show ends up tanking and people withdraw their support for all of your projects en masse #I mean do what you want but that's just common sense #Even wealthy cishet white men who have been coddled their entire lives should have enough sense to realize that

“A kiss may be grand, but it won’t pay the rental, on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.”

Like literally the most famous song about how much girls love jewellry is just explaining the importance of getting jewellry for when your partner leaves you penniless and alone.

The founder of Girl Scouting in the US, Juliette Gordon Low, funded her first troop by selling her pearl necklace, which was her only belonging after her husband died and left everything to his mistress.

She founded Girl Scouts to teach girls self-sufficiency so they wouldn’t have to go through what she went through when her husband died and she didn’t know how to take care of herself.

While we’re on the subject, let’s please also remember that historically disenfranchised communities who had to worry about frequently being run out of town often bought expensive jewelry with their limited funds not because they were greedy or tacky or classless, but rather because you can’t sew a real estate investment into the lining of your coat, and the powers that be can’t freeze a diamond necklace the way that they can freeze a bank account.

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

And a large portion of the fandom will say "I like him because he's just more interesting and well-written than all of the women and POC characters in the movie."

It's kinda crazy how many popular shows completely destroyed their entire legacies with the seasons that were released in 2026. And how many of the writers and show runners are desperately trying to defend the absolute trash they wrote, while the majority of their former fanbases are telling them where they can stick it.

#This is about Stranger Things #And Good Omens #And Euphoria #And now sadly Interview with the Vampire #I was lucky enough to have only watched ST to completion #But it seems like visual media has gone to the dogs #Are the show runners even trying anymore? Do they think that their viewers are so brain rotted that they can just deliver #The most nonsensical and incoherent garbage and people will just buy up all the merch and beg for more?#I mean it's probably getting to that point for certain demographics but #We're not to the point where you can just completely change themes and genres and retcon half of your story #Actively promote suicide/ableism/misogyny/homophobia/racism #And write a script that sounds like it was written by ChatGPT after it downed a gallon of Kool-Aid mixed with Everclear instead of water #And people won't be able to tell the difference between that and the previous seasons

Bychance and tigerwise, Chance is out as queer and just starts to rant about his crush on the cute artistic boy in one of his classes and Jason just staring at him flatly for 5 minutes before screaming "THAT'S MY BABY COUSIN"

He proceeds to interview Chance to see if he is good enough for Will ("Jase, we are literally best frien-" "Shut it, do you do drugs?" "You flipping know I don't!")

Someone write this.

#Bychance #Yes this is cute I love it

advictoriams

the sound of your voice and the things that you say // "just shut up and fuck me" or "shut up and go away" // you drive me crazy for sure // but i can do that myself

If you need me, come and see me on easy street i ain't hard to find

#Bychance #I know I despise ST with every fiber of my being and left the fandom but god damn are these two perfect for each other #Such a hot couple with crazy visual chemistry #I always love the gifs you make <3 #Also why is Hunter Romanillos so sexy?#Like I don't even bat for that team

chuck tingle accidentally used an AI image on his latest cover and not only did he fix the mistake but he made me think the phrase “the skeleton has been replaced out of an abundance of caution,” for which i am eternally grateful

I hope this inspires him to write a book called "Pounded in the Butt by the Skeleton that Replaced the other Skeleton that may have been Generated Using AI."

i love women

anglaised

i hope every straight woman on the planet realizes she doesnt have to date shitty guys or guys at all for that matter seriously being single is better than whatever this is

Will Byers and Alan Turing

Alan Turing helped to win the war against the N*zis in WWII, he was a hero and still he got punished for being a homosexual.

He got chemically castrated, they wanted to punish his identity and desires. He was prevented from experiencing life and love fully.

Will Byers helped to win the war against Vecna/MF (who ironically has been compared to N*zis in the show in S2) he is a hero, he has superpowers and yet the viewers diminish and humiliate him for being gay. The Duffers humiliate the character, almost punishing him for being who he is, prevented him from experiencing romantic love.

Heroes with brilliant minds and abilities and still punished for wanting love and being who they are.
