You're telling me that 50% of the population is political?????????

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This just in: we're being informed that even some of the male population aren't white, and therefore political obama-sad

If a fictional character is a role model for you, you are 12 or younger.

current mood: "How do we even kill america's heroes, are we supposed to kill spiderman and spongebob?"

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bro if a crack team of ircg took out SpongeBob it would be over for the empire

Iranian officials after watching some SpongeBob for operational research "This shit slaps really hard. Call it off."

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

The real move is to get SpongeBob on your side. IRCH spokesman SpongeBob SquarePants would convince many

Someone can't be a role model bc they are a different sex than me is a dumb ass take

Growing up as a cishet guy I was both in love and idolized Lara Croft, complicated, but it's a thing.

I agree, what happened to this mentality?

Women hold up half the star war

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 38 points 3 months ago

Poor males, they have zero role models. 😞

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Women do be female and doing things

I'm a male and I want some male role models too!

Maybe look for them somewhere other than Ubisoft's GTA Star Wars?

We also have like 30 years worth of Star Wars expanded lore that's male focused, just saying.

Be careful what you suggest - leave it up to these dorks and they'll idolize someone like Anakin or Syril Karn lmao

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Given how most young groypers want to just kill women they probably cheer when he force chokes Padme in ROTS.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Karn is too obviously pathetic to idolize, although depending on how they work through the

plot line, he could the incel who made it

And 30 years of like 90% of video game protagonists being male

Like stfu dork

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

Why are they making all these authority figures female when they could've just added more hot Twilek slave girls instead????

pronouns

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ah good old minority salience. The hilarious part of it is when women start joining a male-dominated group, the men feel threatened and leave, turning it into a women-majority group. Hopefully this is what happens to gamer culture. sicko-fem

jawas pro[b]ably shouldn't have human gender at all, and i doubt they wrote anything interesting for an imperial pickme but the rest is just brainworms

2/10 no hutts canonically changing sex to reproduce.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Jawas should have no concept of gender but 7 sexes, and their courtship rituals are mostly working out if their parts are compatible.

[–] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

And "parts" also includes whatever salvage piles they have, to see if they can rig up a compete thingumabob.

he describes a droid as being female. can droids be female? isn't that like a biological designation, as opposed to gender / "woman" which has social characteristics.

I am legit asking because I don't know and am not trying to be glib or shitty.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

Droids in Star Wars have gender, but you're right - they don't really have biological sex. Shitty Star Wars fans don't know how to distinguish a difference, though.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

Robots ARE binary.

[–] nocturnedragonite@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Do y'all just not like women?? 💀 Imagine thinking that adding more women to any situation is a bad thing 😭

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

Getting infected with cutis femininus virus ("cooties") as an adult man is super dangerous, this is why men evolved to naturally respond negatively to even the mere presence of a graphical representation of a fictional woman. I watched too many cartoons with girl characters and look what happened to me!

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Do y'all just not like women??

Yeah. They just dress it up in 'dae too many femoids in my vidya games?!' instead of outright saying 'I literally hate women.'

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm a male and I want some male role models

Whatever happened to gary cooper. The strong silent type.

Imagine being this fuckin imbecile. How removed from any sort of reality does one have to be to say "Its becoming too much to consume my Disney slop no.1244236".

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Is using "female" instead of "woman" (or similar) a dogwhistle now?

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Has been for half a decade now, at least

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

We were making fun of misogynists for saying "females" instead of "women" on ShitRedditSays before gamergate even happened.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 3 months ago

Yeah, unless you're talking in a clinical or scientific manner it's a red flag

These people don't like games, they like being catered to.

Fuck off out of the medium forever, you won't be missed.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I do find it funny when media unrealistically include women in patriarchal, misogynistic and almost exclusively male professions.

Like yeah, I’m sure these two young women, and a butch styled older woman, are experienced members of the SWAT team/spec ops unit and all their male colleagues treat them with respect. Usually it’s extremely propagandized, so the institutions aren’t even psychopathic and try to abuse anybody, otherwise they’d be truly inclusive and portray the female characters shooting prisoners and killing grandmas.

Cishet gamers be like "where are the MEN i want to look at BIG MUSCULAR DUDES why are there WOMEN in this game do they think im GAY?"

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Incel brainrot is extremely frustrating, plus they feel like they are the victims.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

plus they feel like they are the victims.

But they are, the victims of their own stupidity.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Man. I really just want a sausagefest of a movie.
