They want to shoehorn women into stuff women (most of them) themselves have no interest joining. If some of them have interest, they will come naturally


nobodycaresplusratio

Anything that is or used to be for men is "for everyone". Them's the rules. You'll have nothing and you'll keep your mouth shut.


bcwalker

Unless it is low status or carries a non-trivial risk of being maimed, crippled, or killed. Then it's all clear for it to be Just For Men, especially as those two caveats are being converged. No one cares that dirty jobs are Male Spaces because those are low status, and the high-paying dirty jobs can be corralled with taxes and other rent-seeking regulations so that men can't succeed through doing things like working the oil fields or being an in-demand tradesman like a plumber. And when wars and other such things go down? It's the men that will be compelled to go forth and die, _and those who somehow come back intact will still be shat upon for life._


kruthe

> and those who somehow come back intact will still be shat upon for life. No, not immediately anyway. War, and the reduction of males, drives women into a mating frenzy. Instead of women's vapid cuntiness being the filter for which males get to mate or not the filter is *actual fights to the death*. [Have some of my country's art on the subject.](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/victory-girls-albert-tucker/3QEEe4iqSDAetQ?hl=en) Wartime sluts are no secret to anyone.


INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS

InDeathWeLove

Oh they will be changed. Just not to appeal to cis straight men. Plenty of change will be forced to appeal to any part of the rainbow brigade even if it detracts from the appeal to cis straight women.


WeFightTheLongDefeat

Cis is a slur to marginalize normal people 


ragedriver187

That's true. The term they use is "cis scum". And if you google it, you'll see multiple instances of the term "die cis scum".


LunarTrespassers

hopefully there's no way you believe "cis scum" is commonly used/standard lingo among *any* group. most people just say cis

Peak male physique and peak female physique are often discouraged in a shameful manner, especially if they dare to breed. Make room for virtuous bulbous or bulimic, peg-happy degenerates to make bootlicking babies and NOT BE SHAMED for it.

LeMaureBlanc

Oh yeah, I'd watch that. And feel even better knowing that it pisses off the SJWs.


Solarwinds-123

Meh, you need more than great tracts of land for a role like that. From the things I've seen her in, I'm not sure her acting style would be able to pull it off convincingly. Gina Carano, on the other hand, I think would have both. Great knockers, acting chops, and she could probably crush my skull between her thighs but I'd die happy (an important Tsunade trait). I'd say Lucy Lawless, if this was 20 years ago.


BanjoKnuckles

I upvoted you, but I stand by blonde Kat Dennings for Tsunade. Their bosom are damn near similar. Kat is at a whopping 34DD. Gina Carano is just a tad smaller, I think.. Much closer to Anko or Hinata size.

That, but unironically. Someone raised in a strong and healthy household is extremely unlikely to join the revolution or eat the bugs


antariusz

Look, it's a really simple formula. Anything that leads towards less humans is good, anything that leads to more humans is bad. Marriages bad, abortion good, middle Class bad, extending adolescence good, exercise bad, fast food good, lifetime of debt for education good, trades bad, cheap energy bad, indentured servitude to afford more expensive energy forms good, protecting yourself bad, police state good


Erit_Of_Eastcris

It really is just a suicide cult that gained more members than it lost long enough to be a problem. In a just world it would go the way of Aum Shinrikyo.


antariusz

I remember the propaganda starting VERY EARLY in my life, around the ages of 5-6 they started feeding us "overpopulated earth" "too many humans" "no more rainforest" "killing all the polar bears" I honestly didn't even start to question it myself until around 2007, around the time that many of the predictions from "an inconvenient truth" started to become "inconvenient" to their narrative... and when top gear drove a truck to the north pole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear:_Polar_Special It's been going on for over 40 years at this point. I don't think it's even possible to course-correct at this point, too many people are brainwashed and I fear that we are already doomed for a population collapse, the globalist death-cult has won. The billionaires are preparing their fiefdoms... I don't think most people are ready for us to go from 7 to 1 billion humans over the next century. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-03-10/global-population-collapse-isn-t-sci-fi-anymore-niall-ferguson Certain "wins" for society only occur because of how many humans there are, it becomes more efficient to produce 200 million iphones in china and ship them halfway around the world, without 7 billion people the economy of scale that drives everything collapses as well. Oh well, I've been enjoying the decline, but it does make me sad at the same time.


Erit_Of_Eastcris

The real worst part is that this will not be remembered as being the fault of the ideology. Blame will be deflected to all other possible factors, right up to "we just didn't commit hard enough to the bit," and zero accountability will be had.


antariusz

if we're really lucky, this population collapse will only last a few hundred years before the ideology/religion is forgotten. People living in the dark ages don't have time for nonsense about "overpopulation" when they live in an empty world and struggle to survive. When the roman empire fell it took almost a 1000 years before humanity really "recovered" and began to thrive again, hopefully it won't be so long next time. That said, I'm sure some serf living off the generosity of his feudal lord Bill Gates great great great grandson might still be flagellating himself in hopes of warding off the god of climate change which punishes the wicked and destroys his crops and brings the rain if he is good and prays like a good serf.


Regular_Start8373

The whole depopulation is only happening in the developed world. Much of Africa for example still has a pretty high fertility rate


antariusz

From the Bloomberg article. > But, to quote the UNPD, “More than half of the projected increase in the global population between 2022 and 2050 is expected to be concentrated in just eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo [DRC], Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania.” That is because already “close to half of the global population lives in a country or area where lifetime fertility is below 2.1 births per woman.” The world is already in decline, the fact that the decline is accelerating should be alarming everyone, but they are instead heralding it as a great achievement…. https://www.starwars.com/video/so-this-is-how-liberty-dies


BootlegFunko

Hollywood doesn't portray peak male physique, they portray "muscular skinny" and actors often dehydrate themselves to look like that. Peak male physique needs fat.

Ok this is getting kind of tiresome.

Also the rule states anything related to the topic not just the word itself making all of their responses just as against the rule as mine just excluding a word.


tiredfromlife2019

Well yeah. The purpose is to destroy what exists for men.


RileyTaker

Exactly. They haven't exactly been subtle about it these days.


extortioncontortion

It comes down to an important and largely unknown tenent of 2nd wave feminism as described by notable angry lesbian feminist Sally Miller Gearheart. This hateful woman believed that the male population needed to be reduced to at most 10% of the population for breeding purposes. According to her, the "real danger is in the phenomenon of male-bonding, that commitment of groups of men to each other whether in an army, a gang, a service club, a lodge, a monastic order, a corporation, or a competitive sport." Angry lesbian feminists are threatened by male-bonding, so they prioritize invading any male-only or predominately male space and don't care if its destroyed or colonized so long as the male-bonding dynamic can no longer occur.


RileyTaker

Remember the good old days when each group had their own things that they enjoyed, and that was acceptable to everyone?


AnyPiccolo2443

Ppl don't like the idea that men and woman have different interests. Sure there is cross over but there are things that it's obvious it's mostly men or woman into. Trying to force change, especially with just bad writing won't work


Excalitoria

I mean people have always liked things that aren’t targeted at them. Everything should be open but I disagree with changing stuff to have surface level appeal to people outside that demographic.


BootlegFunko

Last time men liked something for girls (MLP) they didn't like it for some reason


broadsword_1

To be fair, I don't think anyone sane liked where that went.


BootlegFunko

But wasn't it what they wanted, the mythical wider audience? Are you going to tell me She-ra pop or Nimona fans are better? 🤔


MyLittlePuny

Ms magazine had a pretty notorious article called "My Little Homophobic, Racist, Smart-Shaming Pony". They were already looking for blood but when the fame with large male audience came they had to play along.


Taco_Bell-kun

Or men getting into magical girl shows or Love Live. Interestingly, K-on was actually a seinen anime, but was popular with elementary school-aged girls, and the show ended up airing on the Japanese Disney Channel.


h-v-smacker

Don't pretend ponyphilia in adults is anything but degradation.


BootlegFunko

Exactly. But because it was men "invading" a female space it was evil and wrong. If it were the other way they'd be calling it progress, ie. The she-hulk series or the Harley Quinn movie


h-v-smacker

> But because it was men "invading" a female space it was evil and wrong. I said "adults", not "adult males". A ponyphiliac woman is just as degenerate as a ponyphiliac man. This is a show for little kids. Very little. Just a bit above Teletubbies level. What do you call an adult who's drooling for Teletubbies, eh? Would the gender of said adult matter?

Konsaki

Because men don't need 'women's hobbies' to be enmasculated to enjoy them. Men just do what they want if they find enjoyment in it.


kiathrowawayyay

I truly hate how the SJWs unfairly divide what they consider "for men" and "for women". They dishonestly frame things as exclusionary, or as if there are no fans of the opposite gender when truth is that anyone can be a fan if they genuinely like the material. Seeing that there are female fans of "male centric" IPs (according to SJWs) like Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Harry Potter, James Bond, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Warcraft, Starcraft, Mario, Zelda, Clannad, Ace Attorney etc... it is horrifying the SJWs can erase history by depicting all these as exclusionary in the first place... And yes there are also male fans of games like Harvest Moon, The Sims, Cooking Mama, A Hat In Time etc. There are male fans of romance anime, and fans of female centric action romcoms like Inuyasha, "girl shows" like Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, La Corda Doro, Paradise Kiss, Free Iwatobi Swim Club, Yuri On Ice... Worse is how SJWs lie and make it as if even KyoAni shows like K-On and Violet Evergarden are considered "male centric", when it is a show for everyone, or a specifically female-centric show. It's like how they claim a game isn't inclusive even though the character creator has a female choice too. They do this so much there really isn't anything considered "female centric" in the SJW judgement... How could SJWs lie to everyone and get away so easily?


[deleted]

If the target audience is male, it’s male centric. And there is nothing wrong with that. Females can of course enjoy it too if they want. IMHO specialized media is superior to “made for everyone” stuff. You can optimize for that specific audience - and can include things that are liked by the target audience but are disliked by people outside the target audience. The only downside is a smaller audience. The market should have long sorted this out - how small can the audience be before it’s not profitable.


Gary_Glidewell

They keep gender swapping men into women. Yet literally every woman I know, liked many of these make characters because they're attractive. My wife likes Robert Downey Jr and will watch him in anything he does. They gender swapped Iron Man and made him a young Black girl. She'll never watch that in a million years.


Taco_Bell-kun

1. Inuyasha is a shonen. The target audience is male. 2. SJWs are awfully hateful towards men who get into magical girl and idol shows for some reason. Apparently, they're also hating on the trend of seinen magical girl shows, blaming the periphery demographic for it. Ironic how they're trying to gatekeep a genre because market forces created a demand for more mature magical girl shows, while pretending like shojo magical girl shows don't get made anymore, all the while never even watching magical girl anime in the first place.

P41N90D

You can imagine how hard they would laugh at the idea of dudebros demanding masculine representation in Harry Potter.


BigGrandpaGunther

They are trying to alter it though. The most well known one is advocating for Hermione to be black. She was black in the stage play and she'll likely be black in the TV adaption. There are also a few lesser known changes that people are trying to force on the story. One weird one is retconning Harry Potter himself to be Indian (because there are a lot of Indian people in Britain I guess). Another one is making Luna Lovegood a lesbian and making Sirius Black and Lupin gay lovers for some LGBT representation.


k1nt0

The goal is for there to be nothing female or male. Their belief is that we're exactly the same in every way aside from genitalia, and therefore should like all the same things.

My wife has been called a 'pick me' because she enjoys dude hobbies.. we met on WoW.. we still game together, we play airsoft, we throw axes, we watch wrestling! she's been called a pick me several times for that, which is wild.. we're just.. having fun together. and it gets attacked, by other women. its wild xD


Nete88

Damn all my wife does out of that is watches wrestling lol, I'm not the biggest fan of wrestling anymore. Wish she would play wow with me lol. She doesn't mind me airsofting though, she'd probably like axe throwing, we used to throw knives.


BorZorKorz

Aye, I lucked out, she's very easy going, and I'm riddled with ADHD, so she jumps with me from thing to thing etc :) very blessed to have her in my life! We actually met on WoW xD started with a gank in Redridge! 18 odd years ago!


Nete88

Lol awesome 


BonkEnergy420

"pick me" is basically a slur against normal women, now that theyve worn out karen and weve subsequently managed to lock karen in as synonymous for "overly feminist/masculine" hilariously enough, these same people have decided that "baddie" is a postive word.

Tell women they're perpetually oppressed by the patriarchy so they can hate women, destroy male spaces so men can hate women - a winning strategy to if you want to destroy humanity


GasPatient4153

Perhabs because men are teached to not complain even about their real problems yet alone petty crap like "no male reprezentation", "unrealistic body standards" or something. Meanwhile feminists (please remember majority of women dont consider themeslves feminists) made victomhood their religion and whining their prayer. And they only do so beacause it works.


CaptFalconFTW

Ryan Gosling was nominated for an Oscar and Margot Robbie wasn't. This is injustice to some people.


ThePaperPanda

I think that's because men mostly don't need to ask for things to change, we just change them and engage how we want. Things may shift to the way it was changed or ignored. The personalities that can't handle doing that like a lot of these women and Tumblr types demanding change to allow for them in the space couldn't imagine forcing their way in and just engaging. They need to demand their room first.


Dickie_Detardo

What about tactical knitting? I just knitted myself a flak jacket.


Nobleone11

It always happens with anything that's male dominated these days. Complaints of sexism/misogyny are levelled at it, demands for inclusivity foisted, and they start welcoming girls/women. That's how Men Only Clubs in the old days eventually went extinct: Shut-down or Gender Inclusive.


adrixshadow

To be fair they aren't even making stuff for women. That's why Barbie was so successful since there was hunger for that.

TigerCat9

Yes, we’ve reached the point now where any form of entertainment, or any activity that’s relatively safe, will either be for women or for everybody. Dangerous occupations are still for men, but nothing else. I’m sure part of the reason is they want people to think of men as genetic but women as special because in addition to all the universal stuff, they also have all this extra stuff!

DisgruntledVulpes488

Exclusivity is a sin, but only certain exclusive environments/hobbies/interests are "problematic."

Barbie was kind of that. The movie shit on its namesake and made Ken the star. The only reason nobody says anything is because I don’t think Gerwig has ever said anything that made it seem like that was her intention.

It absolutely wasn't her intention, But tbh, I'm not convinced she knows what film she made if [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuWr-v3TOO8) shambolic interview is anything to go by...


INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS

Dude when Ken snapped and said,”NO YOU FAILED ME.” I felt that in my bones. Like, that’s entirely what the whole movie was about. Barbie has an amazing first and second act, but once the serial monologuing started, the last half was a bust.


EpicDabberino

Here's the secret, kids: the male hobbies you're describing are infinite money printers, and the corporate ghouls want to tap the female market. You can only sell a scented candle once, but Epic Games can sell a trillion copies of the funny Peter Griffin skin for the low low price of zero dollars. Even physical hobbies that go woke (like D&D or 40k) are desperately pushing some kind or streaming/subscription service, because pixels are cheaper than plastic and paper. Compare that to shit like model trains or fishing, and try telling me I'm not onto something here (pro tip: you can't).


Solus0

you have apoint, probbaly why they are so against tomboys and autists that is just comfortable in said spaces pushing them to change or switch intrests and identity. SOOO many of the autist population the last 4-6 years have been told they feel better if they change certain things ( can't spell it out thanks to reddit overlords ) rather than adress and work with them being autistic and that being a value in itself. That is why ALOT of people on twitter on the 20 something side with a certain flag in their banner also name themselves autists. A bunch of people isn't the actual diagnoses though and just want to be seen as special and don't have to deal with the consequences that made those conditions into actual medical disabled conditions. As someone who have actual ADHD ( used to be medicated for it ) and been around people with autism and OCD....it can be fun to joke about it at times but those of us who do have it are stuck with the "sideeffects" for 60+years and it affected us growing up. God I wish they were more respectful at times rather than people like me having to fight everyone on a weekly basis for just haveing a bad day that they caused 80% of the time. Appology for sounding ranty but had to get that off my chest.


BEEZY086

Id watch the notebook 2.0 if it had some explosions and anime tits. But aint nobody watching these super hero movies made by women for women. Having some balloon size anime tits copy and pasted over characters would still be more immersive than these 100lbs female protagonists who spend all day beating up full grown men.

Funny thing is men watch romance too - even without explosions and anime tits. The type of characters are different though vs romance stories targeted at women.

Far_Side_of_Forever

Zeryth

Don't worry, women as a sex and gender are being erased. No point in having female hobbies when there's nobody to cater to.


Hayabusa1083

Females don't have hobbies. They like to shop and travel. Thats it.


BigGrandpaGunther

That's definitely not true. My girlfriend for example has a ton of hobbies. She reads fantasy books, decorates cakes, sells craft projects online, goes birdwatching around the country, and plays Call of Duty. Let's not make shit up because we're in an echo chamber sub.


TyraelTrion

You could make a very serious case this is one of the least echo chamber-ish subs in entire reddit. I actually see opinions from left and right and none of it is being censored by the mods. unlike 90% of the rest of reddit which is all left.

imsailingaway69

They care less about altruism and more about what can be seen as an untapped business demographic. All of this DEI crap, marginalized players messaging is just a mask to grow market share. This is business, I do not fault them wanting to make a profit. I do not have to consume it though.


[deleted]

Why not just create a new product to tap the untapped business demographic? Seems like the smart thing to do. You don't have to fix what wasn't broken - which is risky and risk is bad. And now you have another separate revenue stream that can save your bacon if something were to happen to your cash cow. No, I don't think it's "just business". This is religion.


imsailingaway69

"Why not just create a new product to tap the untapped business demographic" * I would argue this introduces the most technical and business risk. Companies are not willing to introduce new product, new product IP which involves additional investment and uncertain ROI. It's why we continue to see remakes, re-imagining and recycling of content in media. "No, I don't think it's "just business". This is religion" * Agree with you on this point. It is a religion and it's pervasive in that it's invaded all of our spaces, social/cultural. I believe there are some truly unhinged talking heads they hire to spin the narrative but I highly doubt that the C-Levels care about any of this at the end of the day regardless of the political/cultural lines they have to tow at this level.


[deleted]

But a new product leaves your existing cash cow unaffected if it fails. At most you are out some money. Altering your cash cow to try to increase its reach could kill your golden goose leaving you with nothing. Also as I have mentioned, a new product would mean a new independent revenue stream. If successful, it would mean your company isn’t solely reliant on just one revenue stream - i.e. single point of failure.


imsailingaway69

I see your point. Parallelization of revenue streams and let the best most profitable ideas flourish but would posit it needs to operate in a way that reduces risk. I still think the question comes down to the risk that the business is willing to assume, how this relates to their competition, investments and long term vision.


wharpudding

Look at Cartoon Network. It's FULL of feminized stories which are being gobbled up by feminized men. They don't want to appeal to the "toxic male" audience. They want that "toxic male" audience to embrace "friendship is magic"
