  • I suppose the most obvious example is men in sheds. It somethings that was created especially to deal with the issue of male loneliness, especially amongst the older community. Basis for being single gender, was to address those older gents who feel pressures to act a certain way around women. This was that one place they could go and just hang out doing wood working and what not. It was for men to make connections with other men, because men, seemingly, struggle with making or even keeping connections.

    Enter the women, who think its sexist. Who think that men dont need just time to themselves. Theres mixed sex and single sex(female) things all over the place. But some women see men only spaces, and think “Not on my fucking watch!!!”.

    Every day we talk about mens mental health, then some gaggle of cave brained cunts turns up to tell men how they have to sort their own shit out. Men in sheds did just that. Then it got popular, and then that same gaggle of cave brained cunts turns up talking about how male only spaces are toxic… Rinse, repeat, ad Infinium

    Why cant men have male on spaces? Why can we have our man caves? And if we do, why is it a a bad thing?

    Theres a guardian hit piece on the “disappointing” vote to have one of the last remaining gentlemans clubs remain male only. They also have a little go at “mostly white” like thats a fucking crime as well.

    Same thing happened at the Flyers club. Men only for 141 years, then all of a sudden women want in and its sexist not to let them.

    We cant even just play fucking video games, without getting hammered over the head about how its childish and that we need to grow up. God fucking forbid, we have a fucking hobby and some fun together.








  • We are also talking about gamers here. How many would give up gta6 just to take a stand?

    My eyes were opened to gamers with Elite Dangerous. During the early access, FD told us a single player off line was coming. Then about week before the full release, they said “nah, cant make it work. No refunds!”. This was blatant false advertising. Worse, they then said that you didnt pay for the game, you paid for early access. The game was just a gift…

    Offline single players werent happy, as you can imagine. And took to the forums… and thats when the real shit started. Nothing but abuse from happy to be always online people. Mods started deleting threads talking about the refunds. It ended up that they couldnt deny it anymore, so shoved it into one single thread. Which maxed out and had to be closed and another started, then another. All the while gamers were abusing the fuck out of people who wanted refunds, and the mods would perma ban any refunder who said something back.

    The fucking hero of this story? The credit card companies. All the refunders eventually contacted their CC companies as well as companies like Paypal. They all took one look at what was going on, and mass refunded everyone who asked for it without dragging it out. That when I knew what gamers really were. They were a community of people who enjoyed a hobby, they were factions who would abuse the ever living fuck out of another for millionaires and private companies. Its one thing to say “I dont care about being always online” but to, in some cases, brutally attack people who were conned into paying for an offline mode that was never coming was bullshit. I now severely judge anyone who plays that game. If I met someone in real life who played that game, I might punch fuck out of them. Thats how strongly I feel about the abuse I saw happening. And it was like a fucking decade ago.

    Gamers are the most short sighted fucking morons on the planet. They complain endlessly, yet praise absolute dogshit when they dont care. Never once thinking “Maybe if we werent all constantly at each others throats, we wouldnt be getting abused by companies like EA, UBI, Sony and whoever else.”. I mean, they need us! Why the fuck are we all putting up with their shit???





  • That fish thing is gonna be the next big culture war. Some fucking idiot is going to say that if you eat Salmon, youre a cannibal because Salmon share like 60 to 70% of their DNA with humans and then we will be off to the races. Next will be interspecies erotica… And its OK, cos 60% is close enough… or something… lol

    Actually, this is how I look at people who think stating that insects are animals makes them big brains… Its right up there, with “Spiders arent incests because they have 8 legs.” or “The sun is actually a star!” or “America is actually a continent”. Its always the most basic of shit that people who try to make others feel small use during these annoying conversations.
