In movies and games they always make them seem super cool and charismatic. Not taking shit from anyone no matter what. In real life it’s just a bunch of socially inept man babies talking about how manly they are as they lick the balls of whomever is in charge.
And they’re usually bald with a goatee. This dipshit looks like a dipshit. Like he could play Mr Universe in Serenity, maybe, and someone who would probably marry a bot, but not a supervillain.
Climate crises keep coming, genocides continue, women keep getting murdered, art is being strangled to death by AI, bigotry is on the rise, social progress is being rolled back … AND these men insist on being cringe?
Everybody wanna be Lex Luthor but nobody goes around doing Lex Luthor shit
Jesse Eisenberg playing Lex as twitchy, cringy sociopath seems almost prophetic now.
Peterson is a big voice in men’s rights – well, a small Kermit’s voice in men’s rights – and he’s also an embarrassment.
Annihilated.
If they were burning the world down in a cool way, maybe I’d be on board. But we’re burning all our future for THIS?!? gestures wildly
The worst part is, they’re not even enjoying it. No one benefits from this, except comparatively
I mean, cool people don’t act that way.
The cool kids at my school were actually generally pretty nice. A lot of us nerds had chips on our shoulders, but the reality is that as a weirdo loser, I was picked on by weirdo lovers and the popular kids were nicer to me than I was to them.
I don’t think they were all good people, given our school’s socioeconomic and racial demographics and the fact that it was a catholic school, I strongly suspect that some may have just appalling beliefs on some topics, but even when I ran into one years later she was nice and open minded.
Idk anyone else’s experience and I graduated in the early 10s and I know we were a weird generation in that regard.
Cool and Good aren’t the same thing.
Some of the best people I’ve ever met were pretty low key and definitelly weren’t overly concerned with presenting an appealing image to others.
What’s percieved as coolness usually is just dressing the part and acting the part and in my experience “cool people” are often people who just take the whole maintaining a public persona thing to quite extreme levels, pretty much playing a role as if life was a Theatre play.
