OT: Movies/TV Shows

I mean this in the best possible way man, but this is deeply sad to me. things have gotten to the point where this toxicity is considered normal and accepted. your comment is living proof. You literally see no difference between the male characters in Gen V and those in The Boys. They couldn't be more different in how they act, speak, are spoken to by females, even how they participate in the plot.

I have nothing but contempt for all this anti-male stuff personally, I do not act like the males in Gen V or allow myself to be spoken to like that in my life.... though it's not really me I'm thinking of, but moreso the generation of men that are growing up now watching this kind of sludge. And accepting it, and acting more and more female as result.

I'll let this go because this is a left leaning board and I know what happens to people who step out of line here politically. hell I'm guilty of it myself at times, and as most of you know I have been "here" over 20 years now, so I know whereof I speak in that department.

anyway, carry on.

Definitely feels like we're watching two completely different shows.

And I'm not even necessarily riding to the show's defense, because "Gen V" isn't nearly the same caliber of show as "The Boys", either from a story standpoint or in terms of the quality of its characters. Just not seeing the man-hating theme you are.

And as a fan of history, your hand-wringing about the generations of men younger than you being too feminine does strike me as kind of funny. A certain subset of old dudes in each generation for basically the entirety of recorded human history have had the same worry.
 
“Whither are the manly vigour and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt...”
Letter in Town and Country magazine republished in Paris Fashion: A Cultural History, 1771

People have always whinged about young adults. Here's proof

Older people love to gripe about the entitled, lazy millennial generation. But it's nothing new – by delving into the archives, we found plenty of parallels stretching back 2,000 years

no, there has never been Instagram and a whole galaxy of other things people are going through right now in any other generation of recorded human history.

comparing this to previous eras should be leading you to the precise opposite conclusion.

I do like the term fribbles. I'm stealing that.

And before that there were never videos. And before that never tvs. And before that never movies. And before that never recorded woogie boogie music. And before that never photographs. And before that never magazines. And before that never newspapers. And before that never books.

I want you to finish that post and take us back to creation. You don’t need to go further back than the seventh day, we all know what happened by then.

There’s nothing to “work”….it’s a genuine observation.

You’re an adult man, in his 40-50’s? who is all riled up about the emotions they feel over a tv show about teenagers, with super powers.

I do not act like the males in Gen V or allow myself to be spoken to like that in my life

Like….that’s objectively fucking hilarious.
