The article doesn't really address the brand of revenge "feminism" I've seen on that sub and mostly frames it as women who want to become trad wives because it's easy. What I've seen is that they basically want to find sugar daddies while also really, really hating men in general, especially the "low status" ones.

How did they get to that point? I suspect it's a variation of mean world syndrome, fueled by ideas like the poisonous M&M analogy (understood not as a call to be cautious but to treat every man as if they were bad) and seeing men and women as as coherent classes engaging in warfare. All watered down to simple talking points that fit in a punchy tweet. If men as a group do/don't do this for me then it's okay to be awful to any individual one because he's the enemy too.

Hateful, dehumanizing thinking. So yes, they do mirror the Andrew Tate dudes pretty much exactly, including being trans-exclusive.

Every mission is like this one from GTA:VC. Easy to fail, frustrating controls, annoying camera, long, unskippable intro and you can't save during it. Add minute-long loading times and it's perfect.

2001: A Space Odyssey was rightfully not well received when it was first released. It is incredibly well crafted in terms of visual effects and has about 30 minutes of great, tense sci-fi in it. Shame about the other six hours (perceived) of tedium. Even in the late 60s people in ape costumes smashing things while the soundtrack goes aaaAAAaaUuuAaa wasn't interesting for more than a minute, don't even get me started on the stewardess, docking, moon journey or the damn screensaver. Which, yes, is iconic, but 20 minutes?

It does make sense that people would get high before subjecting themselves to this and then put on a Pink Floyd album during all the tedious scenes.

2010 is a better movie. It starts with dialogue and knows when slowing down increases tension.

Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.

C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.

Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.

Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

Any number of models that can fit or balance on the Battlewagon can be carried by it. Any models which fall off during play are judged to have actually fallen off and the normal rules apply.

We need more "men and women have it hard, let's do something about it" content. It's not a competition, it sucks for everybody.

"We have found a witch! May we burn her?"

That is true, neither shaming people for how they might feel in the moment nor sharing it without context is great or helpful.

I'll never understand that reaction.

The experience probably felt painful (literally) for Anon so his lizard brain immediately wanted to strike back at what's causing the pain. Doesn't make much sense of course so he didn't actually do it, probably felt bad about it too.

ITT: People who apparently never had an intrusive thought getting awfully judgy about someone's immediate feelings.

Decency is to not act on negative emotions and impulses, not never having them.

Ich finds auch grauenvoll, vor allem wenn es um ernste Themen geht. Nägel auf der Schiefertafel. Finde allerdings auch die Verniedlichungsform mit -i oft scheußlich. Gerade bei ernsthaften Themen ist diese Assoziation dann wirklich unvorteilhaft. Kriegsverbrechys (wie Hitlers Helfys) und ihre Opfys klingt so als würde man sich darüber lustig machen.

That whole routine doesn't magically make sense to neurotypical people either.
