SNEAKO - Layah Heilpern Explains the Feminism in Modern Films

00:00:00 This is called Why Modern Movies Suck by The Critical Drinker. 0.99

00:00:03 Men, don't you just hate them all?

00:00:06 Well, if you happen to be a creative working in Hollywood today, then the answer is probably yes.

00:00:11 Either because you genuinely believe it, or because you think it's what you're expected to say these days just to get hired.

00:00:17 But whatever the reason, there's been a bit of a change in the past few years in how men are portrayed on screen.

00:00:22 And here's a hint, it hasn't been a good one.

00:00:25 Hard as it may be to believe now, there was a time when we were practically spoiled for choice when it came to cool, awesome, aspirational male heroes on the big and the small screen.

00:00:35 Whether they were scrappy underdogs who had to rise to the challenge, or brave adventurers risking life and limb for fortune and glory, or hard-bitten cops taking on the criminal-

00:00:45 I love Clint Eastwood. He is sexy.

00:00:48 More than Sean Connery?

00:00:50 Just both of them.

00:00:51 You would let him slap you?

00:00:53 When he was younger.

00:00:55 In the correct context.

00:00:55 BOOMBOKA! 0.99

00:00:56 Okay. 0.97

00:00:57 Underbelly of society, they were a whole generation of men who kicked ass, triumphed against the odds and saved the day, and usually looked pretty cool doing it.

00:01:05 That time, however, has passed, and the once mighty list of male cinematic heroes has dwindled to just a handful of aging characters living on borrowed time before they're ultimately recast, rebooted, or remade for...

00:01:19 MODERN AUDIENCES!

00:01:21 The traditional heroic male lead that was pretty much the bedrock foundation of cinema for almost 100 years is apparently no longer a viable commodity in entertainment today.

00:01:30 What were you about to say?

00:01:31 Bring back that six-pack. Oh, no, I'm just enjoying this.

00:01:33 Oh, okay.

00:01:34 You really like this traditional man, toxic masculinity thing.

00:01:37 Oh, I love it.

00:01:37 I love it.

00:01:37 So you're, for the chat watching and anybody, like, maybe converting from liberalism, you are pro-toxic masculinity?

00:01:43 Yeah.

00:01:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:45 Okay.

00:01:45 100%.

00:01:45 Bring back that.

00:01:46 What do you think for the people that are simping for you in the chat?

00:01:48 Because there's a couple of simps right now watching.

00:01:50 Yeah, there's some.

00:01:51 I'm trying to, like, you know, steer the conversation away from that.

00:01:54 But what would you tell them for all the hopeful simps?

00:01:56 Like, what's the...

00:01:57 How do you attract...

00:01:58 They just have to be better, don't they?

00:02:00 You just have to be better.

00:02:01 You have to just, like, take on challenge, become the best man that you can be, be stoic, be strong.

00:02:06 You know, just solve problems.

00:02:08 Somebody said to me that women are really attracted to men that solve problems, and I was like, yeah.

00:02:13 If a man could solve my problems, I'm like, let's go. 1.00

00:02:17 And Dwyer Price says she only likes white men. 0.83

00:02:18 She only likes white men. 1.00

00:02:20 I'm not answering that.

00:02:21 Because that's such a trap.

00:02:23 We can have a conversation on that.

00:02:25 I don't like men!

00:02:25 Yeah.

00:02:25 It's a trap.

00:02:26 Okay.

00:02:27 Day.

00:02:28 They're too dainted, too toxic, too dangerous to put into the limelight.

00:02:31 And so they've been replaced with more acceptable alternatives.

00:02:36 Bruh.

00:02:36 It's just, none of them do it for me.

00:02:39 Bruh.

00:02:39 Not even Edward, uh, Twilight Doom?

00:02:40 No, I never thought he was attractive.

00:02:43 Ever.

00:02:43 Lakeith is a good actor.

00:02:45 I don't know who that is.

00:02:45 Who is that?

00:02:46 That's the guy in Get Out who's like, get out!

00:02:48 Get out! 0.98

00:02:49 No.

00:02:50 No.

00:02:52 Don't believe me? 1.00

00:02:53 Fuck it. 1.00

00:02:53 Go turn on your TV and watch basically any commercial break that comes up in the next hour or so. 1.00

00:02:58 Tell me, how many dumb, hapless, incompetent husbands, fathers, and boyfriends do you see constantly screwing up even the most simple household tasks? 0.99

00:03:07 Samuel says, ayo ma, I can solve your problem. 1.00

00:03:09 Oh, okay.

00:03:11 How old are you?

00:03:11 Are you hot?

00:03:12 Yeah, you gotta be older than her.

00:03:14 You gotta be 10 years older than her.

00:03:15 No!

00:03:16 I'd go for a man that's like 3 years older.

00:03:18 3 years older?

00:03:19 Yeah.

00:03:20 Okay.

00:03:20 And needing someone more diverse to bail them out. 0.99

00:03:23 Go ahead, I'll wait.

00:03:25 Now, this is a trend that I've noticed creeping into films and TV for quite some time now, and I think the problem comes in a number of different flavours, or tropes if you will.

00:03:34 So let's take some time to look at each one in turn.

00:03:37 And this is gonna be a pretty big topic, so I'll probably have to make this video a two-parter to give each one the attention it deserves.

00:03:43 And believe me, they're gonna get plenty of my attention.

00:03:46 Anyway, strap in, dear viewer, as I take you through the tropes of modern male characters.

00:03:52 Trope number one, the death of the stoic man.

00:03:55 Pick out any random selection of mainstream movies that are more than 10 or 15 years old and give them a watch.

00:04:01 Now pay particular attention to the men in those movies.

00:04:04 Watch how they act, how they communicate with each other, the pace and tone and tempo of their conversations.

00:04:11 Samuel again says, 26 and I live in Miami, what's good?

00:04:15 What do you do?

00:04:16 What do you do?

00:04:16 Yeah, what do you do though?

00:04:17 What do you do?

00:04:18 Samuel Gallart.

00:04:19 Are you smart?

00:04:20 Are you vaccinated?

00:04:21 He did.

00:04:23 He's probably vaccinated.

00:04:25 I don't know, maybe not.

00:04:27 What gives away if a man isn't stoic or not? 0.99

00:04:30 What are your shit tests? 1.00

00:04:32 Wait, do you want to know? 1.00

00:04:33 Yeah, I really want to know.

00:04:34 I'm very interested.

00:04:35 I can tell if a man is vaccinated.

00:04:38 So I work, okay, so I don't want to have like, I don't want to procreate with a man that's vaccinated. 0.97

00:04:41 Like, I worked really hard to remain unvaccinated, so I don't want to like, that would be a waste of my life. 0.81

00:04:47 So, the issue isn't the vaccine.

00:04:49 I mean, it's like, if he's vaccinated, it's like an indicator of greater behavior.

00:04:54 Does that make sense?

00:04:55 Okay.

00:04:55 Like, he'll just drop the ball on things.

00:04:58 Like, he's not going to be like, on it or like, stoic enough or like, entrepreneurial enough or like, based enough.

00:05:05 You know?

00:05:06 Like, if he's vaccinated, there's like, there's going to be a greater issue.

00:05:08 Like, I went out, I went on a date with a guy.

00:05:10 One date.

00:05:11 What?

00:05:12 He was super handsome.

00:05:14 No, just listen.

00:05:14 Okay.

00:05:15 He was so handsome.

00:05:16 Like, like, let me tell you, this guy looked like, like, like, actual Chad.

00:05:19 You know the meme, Chad?

00:05:20 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:21 And he was vaccinated.

00:05:21 He looked like Giga Chad. 1.00

00:05:22 Like, the jawline shit. 1.00

00:05:24 Okay. 0.99

00:05:24 Like, ties down with the hair, everything.

00:05:26 And he was vaccinated.

00:05:28 But I was like, let me just like, let me just like, let me hear him out.

00:05:31 Let me see.

00:05:32 And he just came across this like, really, Cam?

00:05:34 Oh, really?

00:05:35 You're just so brave.

00:05:36 Boom, Baka. 0.95

00:05:37 Like, you're so brave.

00:05:38 Oh, my God.

00:05:39 Like, can you explain that to me?

00:05:42 I don't know.

00:05:42 I was like, oh.

00:05:43 Wait, he looked like Giga Chad, like the meme.

00:05:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:45 He looked like Giga Chad.

00:05:46 Yeah.

00:05:46 And then he was like, and then he called me brave.

00:05:49 And like, he was just so brave.

00:05:50 That's a feminist word. 1.00

00:05:52 Brave.

00:05:52 It's like, yeah, I am brave, which is great.

00:05:54 Thank you.

00:05:55 From not like a human level.

00:05:56 Like, I do appreciate that.

00:05:57 But also like, you need to be braver than me.

00:06:00 You need to be more brave than me.

00:06:02 Okay.

00:06:03 You know what I mean?

00:06:03 And like, so it wasn't the vaccine in the end that was the issue.

00:06:06 It was an indicator of greater behavior that he was like, kind of camp.

00:06:11 Where did you, where did you guys meet?

00:06:13 Um, my, like, on a walk, my brother saw him and I saw him and I was like, he's pretty

00:06:17 cool.

00:06:18 And then Gideon was like, all right, I'll go chat to him.

00:06:20 Wait, you got your brother getting numbers for you?

00:06:23 Yeah.

00:06:24 And then, so how did, how did that work?

00:06:26 My brother set it up.

00:06:28 Oh, okay.

00:06:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:30 My brother, okay.

00:06:30 So he was, I'm telling you, this man was handsome.

00:06:33 Six foot seven.

00:06:36 Broad.

00:06:36 Bro.

00:06:37 Tall.

00:06:37 Like, handsome.

00:06:40 Super sexy.

00:06:41 And I saw him checking me out as well when we were walking past each other.

00:06:44 Like.

00:06:45 Okay.

00:06:45 Yeah.

00:06:45 And then my brother.

00:06:46 And you couldn't look past that.

00:06:48 No.

00:06:48 And then Gideon was like, high value man, high value man.

00:06:51 And I was like, yeah, he's hot.

00:06:54 Go, go, go.

00:06:54 Say hi to him.

00:06:55 Yeah.

00:06:55 Your brother's a good wig man. 0.93

00:06:56 My brother's amazing.

00:06:57 Yeah.

00:06:58 Well, because like we have, we want to leave the matrix, right?

00:07:00 Yeah.

00:07:00 So that means like make a ton of money and also like get me married to like the best

00:07:05 man.

00:07:05 Mm-hmm.

00:07:06 Yeah.

00:07:06 I don't want to be like thirties, single, sad.

00:07:10 No.

00:07:11 Six, seven is too short.

00:07:13 People in the chat are saying.

00:07:14 XTCC is six on my.

00:07:16 No, he was, he was very tall.

00:07:18 Oh, and also Samuel is very quiet ever since the vaccine question.

00:07:23 Yeah.

00:07:23 I don't know where he went.

00:07:24 Leah had a drink.

00:07:25 Ha ha.

00:07:26 What does that mean?

00:07:27 I guess maybe he's trying to insinuate that you're not.

00:07:31 It's Haram or something. 1.00

00:07:33 What?

00:07:33 Having a drink?

00:07:34 Yeah.

00:07:34 We actually went for, um, salmon.

00:07:37 I had salmon.

00:07:37 Who paid?

00:07:38 He did.

00:07:39 Yeah.

00:07:39 Okay.

00:07:40 The feminist on fresh and fit last night said that wouldn't matter that they could pay 1.00

00:07:42 for the dinner.

00:07:44 No, he has to pay.

00:07:45 You're joking.

00:07:46 Yeah.

00:07:46 He has to pay.

00:07:47 Okay.

00:07:47 What else was, uh, tell me more about that day.

00:07:50 Like what else? 0.99

00:07:51 I, I, I'm very interested in like the shit tests go that you go through. 0.99

00:07:55 Okay. 0.99

00:07:55 Like, okay.

00:07:56 Here's another example.

00:07:56 So I went to this Jewish event.

00:07:58 Cause like, you know, like my parents were someone Jewish.

00:08:01 That was it.

00:08:01 Do you put a sound on?

00:08:02 No.

00:08:03 Okay. 0.98

00:08:03 So it's a Jewish event and I don't like Jewish men. 1.00

00:08:06 I need to be so careful what I say right now. 0.97

00:08:07 I don't like Jewish men cause I find them, they tend to be like skinny and stuff. 1.00

00:08:12 Hi, can I take you on a date? 0.90

00:08:14 And I like strong, strong, strong. 0.98

00:08:16 I like men that look like they can like beat the shit out of someone just in case. 0.98

00:08:24 Do you know what I mean? 0.99

00:08:24 Yeah.

00:08:25 Yeah.

00:08:25 Just in case.

00:08:26 Okay.

00:08:26 Um, anyway, um, he was like really into me.

00:08:28 He was vaccinated, but you know, I was like, whatever.

00:08:32 Anyway, like our friend was driving.

00:08:33 Is that your first question?

00:08:34 You're like, hi, nice to meet you.

00:08:35 Are you vaccinated?

00:08:36 Well, I could just, I can just like smell it.

00:08:38 I can smell it.

00:08:39 It's like, you can, I can smell the vaccine on people.

00:08:41 Yeah.

00:08:41 I can smell it.

00:08:42 Like in their behavior.

00:08:43 If like they behave soft camp, I'm like, you're definitely vaccinated.

00:08:46 And I was like, anyway, anyway, we were walking to the car and I could see, he didn't

00:08:51 know whether like he should open the door for me or let me go in the front or, or like

00:08:55 he should go in the back.

00:08:55 The feminist was debating in his head. 0.99

00:08:57 Yeah.

00:08:58 And so like, I, I didn't do anything.

00:08:59 I could have put him out as misery and just gone and opened the car door.

00:09:02 But you waited for him to do it.

00:09:03 Yeah.

00:09:03 I just waited.

00:09:04 Yeah.

00:09:04 And then my friend had to jump in and was like, Leah, get in the front.

00:09:07 And I was like, cool.

00:09:08 So he didn't know.

00:09:09 He was like, if he, if he, if he tells me to get in the front, then does that mean he's

00:09:12 simping for me?

00:09:13 Cause he's putting me like in the front.

00:09:14 She's a queen, whatever. 0.99

00:09:15 If I, if he then goes, actually, Leah, get in the back.

00:09:17 I'm getting in the front.

00:09:18 Then he's like, oh, well, like now, like I'm disrespecting her.

00:09:21 Like I could see him going through this whole motion.

00:09:23 I just stood there.

00:09:24 Like, what's he going to do?

00:09:27 Make a decision.

00:09:28 The correct thing would be like, Leah, get in the front. 0.77

00:09:30 It's okay to be a gentleman.

00:09:31 That's not something.

00:09:31 Just to tell you what to do.

00:09:33 Yeah. 0.99

00:09:34 Slap you. 0.94

00:09:34 Get in the front, Leah. 0.83

00:09:35 Yeah.

00:09:36 Get in the front.

00:09:37 That's nice.

00:09:38 Cause then he's putting me in the front.

00:09:39 That's okay.

00:09:39 Okay. 1.00

00:09:40 So slap you. 1.00

00:09:41 Don't get a shot. 1.00

00:09:42 We said we'd keep this clean.

00:09:43 What?

00:09:45 He said we'd be good.

00:09:46 BTR says the feminist last night just won't be happy in 20 years. 1.00

00:09:49 Just a headache listening to them. 0.88

00:09:50 They are a complete headache, but.

00:09:53 Yeah.

00:09:53 What happened? 0.61

00:09:54 The feminist from last night, just an absolute headache. 1.00

00:09:56 Yeah.

00:09:56 I forgot about this video.

00:09:57 Let's keep watching.

00:09:58 Watch how they carry themselves.

00:09:59 Think about the subtle shift.

00:10:01 By the way, this is funny because I could be wrong, but this is a Scottish accent.

00:10:05 Is it?

00:10:05 Yeah.

00:10:06 And Scottish, by the way, in the UK is like the heart of like masculinity.

00:10:10 It's like we're Scotsmen.

00:10:11 Scottish.

00:10:12 Even though they wear kilts.

00:10:13 I'm from Scotland.

00:10:14 I'm wearing a skirt.

00:10:15 Yeah.

00:10:15 But then like we're Scottish men, you know?

00:10:18 We're masculine.

00:10:19 We're.

00:10:19 Yeah.

00:10:19 That's why it's funny.

00:10:20 It's a power and dominance as their scenes progress.

00:10:23 The use of pauses and facial expressions and eye contact to clue the audience in on

00:10:27 who's dictating the pace of the conversation.

00:10:30 Do this and you'll probably begin to pick up on a few things, like the fact that men in

00:10:34 older movies are generally able to convey a lot more by saying less.

00:10:37 They're generally more reserved and project a kind of quiet confidence.

00:10:42 They're less prone to big emotional outbursts or energetic displays of high-strung verbal diarrhea.

00:10:46 They spend less time talking about themselves and how things make them feel.

00:10:51 What'd you say?

00:10:51 Like I need that.

00:10:52 Like this man.

00:10:53 No feelings.

00:10:54 Don't have any feelings.

00:10:55 Just this man. 0.82

00:10:56 Stoic, toxic. 0.99

00:10:56 You like toxic masculinity. 0.95

00:10:58 I just need that.

00:10:59 Like I can't.

00:11:00 I can't do anything less.

00:11:02 It's just not.

00:11:03 Yeah.

00:11:04 Yeah.

00:11:06 And more time grappling with whatever problem or issue is actually at hand.

00:11:10 When they decide to show aggression, it's generally controlled and carefully measured

00:11:14 and deployed at just the right moment for maximum impacts.

00:11:17 They're less likely to admit to personal weaknesses, insecurity and emotional fragility

00:11:22 or complain about physical discomfort and danger.

00:11:25 In writing terms, this is what we refer to as stoicism.

00:11:29 A stoic character is one that's generally reserved and emotionally distant, the kind of

00:11:33 person who bears their troubles and discomforts without too much complaining.

00:11:37 It's a character type most commonly associated with traditional ideas of masculine behaviour.

00:11:42 Why?

00:11:42 Because it's funny that the new Batman movie with the Twilight dude, he was just like an 0.56

00:11:47 emo, extremely emotional.

00:11:48 I didn't see it either, but that's what everybody complained about.

00:11:51 Well, you know, okay.

00:11:52 So my issue is with Spider-Man. 1.00

00:11:55 So Spider-Man was like the shit. 0.99

00:11:57 Like I grew up on Spider-Man, loved it, loved the story. 0.99

00:12:00 But then in the new one, have you seen it?

00:12:03 Yeah.

00:12:03 So I watched it on the plane and then there's like the scene.

00:12:05 The three Spider-Man movie?

00:12:07 The one with all three of them?

00:12:07 Yeah.

00:12:08 Yeah.

00:12:08 They're having a mother's meeting.

00:12:11 Is that, that's not a British term, right?

00:12:12 Mother's meeting?

00:12:13 No.

00:12:13 You have that here?

00:12:14 No.

00:12:14 What is that?

00:12:15 You don't know what a mother's meeting is.

00:12:15 No.

00:12:16 I also don't know what camp is, but I kind of just figured it out.

00:12:18 Oh, you don't know what camp is?

00:12:19 That's like being a soy boy? 0.97

00:12:20 Yeah.

00:12:21 Okay.

00:12:21 But what's mother's meeting?

00:12:22 You don't know.

00:12:22 Mother's meeting.

00:12:23 Mother's meeting is like, you know when like women get together and they have a gossip 1.00

00:12:25 and a chat and how are you feeling?

00:12:27 And this is how I feel.

00:12:28 And they have tea and then.

00:12:29 It's like a real like.

00:12:30 Mother's meeting?

00:12:31 That's the word?

00:12:31 I've never heard that time before.

00:12:32 I've never heard that in my life.

00:12:33 Mother's meeting.

00:12:33 Yeah.

00:12:33 It's like a mother's meeting.

00:12:34 It's like women get like. 1.00

00:12:36 At school, the teachers would like tell us off if all the girls were like chatting outside 1.00

00:12:41 before going into class and they'd be like, oh, stop having a mother's meeting.

00:12:45 You know?

00:12:45 Oh, you know what we call it here?

00:12:46 It's like an insult.

00:12:46 What?

00:12:47 Special ed.

00:12:49 I don't get it.

00:12:49 Is that true?

00:12:50 Okay.

00:12:50 Yeah, I'm not.

00:12:50 Oh, good.

00:12:51 Okay.

00:12:51 Thank you for the 30.

00:12:52 No one slapping Leah while I'm alive.

00:12:54 Allahu Akbar.

00:12:55 Allahu Akbar!

00:12:56 If anyone tried.

00:12:57 This is a creativity kid professor saying he's going to be.

00:12:59 But you said you like it.

00:13:00 No.

00:13:01 Oh, wow.

00:13:02 Wait, so go on with the mother's meeting?

00:13:03 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:04 So like they were having a mother's meeting, which is basically like getting together, talking

00:13:08 about their feelings, having a real girly gossip, basically.

00:13:10 That's a mother's meeting.

00:13:11 Yeah.

00:13:11 So that's what they did in the Spider-Man.

00:13:13 In the newest Spider-Man, there's like, they brought them all together and they're like,

00:13:17 oh, I just sort of sometimes feel like this.

00:13:19 And the other Spider-Man's like, no, I saw the way you did that.

00:13:21 That was so.

00:13:22 They're doing therapy.

00:13:23 Yeah.

00:13:24 I was like, this is disgusting.

00:13:25 Like, it's insufferable. 0.98

00:13:26 It's disgusting to show emotion as a man. 0.90

00:13:29 No. 0.92

00:13:29 It's just, it's just like, it's just like, like, toughen up.

00:13:34 Like, toughen up.

00:13:35 Like, as a woman, I need you to be tough so that I can rely and depend on you.

00:13:41 You need a tough Spider-Man.

00:13:43 Yeah.

00:13:43 That's how men generally act around each other.

00:13:46 Now take a look at men in mainstream movies today, and pay attention to the same aspects

00:13:51 that you looked at before.

00:13:52 I can pretty much guarantee you're going to notice a big difference between the two.

00:13:55 The men in movies and TV shows now tend to come across as annoyingly talkative and expressive,

00:14:01 reacting emotionally to what other people say and do, instead of coolly observant and

00:14:05 keeping their own feelings in check.

00:14:06 And this is important, because here's a little secret for you, boys and girls. 0.98

00:14:10 The ability to just shut the fuck up for a minute and let an uncomfortable silence stretch 0.79

00:14:14 out before you is a pretty powerful weapon when it comes to tense conversations, because 0.98

00:14:19 you're making it clear that you don't care much whether the other person expects a response.

00:14:23 So I work with my brother, right?

00:14:25 And my brother does this on business calls.

00:14:27 I shouldn't say this, but sometimes they'll want someone to say something, and I'm waiting

00:14:32 for Gideon to speak, and he's just there, and it's silent.

00:14:36 And I'm like, I can't believe he's not saying anything right now.

00:14:39 So that he gets the power in the conversation?

00:14:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:14:41 That's some 40 laws of power shit, yeah. 0.97

00:14:43 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:14:44 He'll just be like, mm-hmm.

00:14:46 And he'll sit there, really still, looking dead into the window.

00:14:48 And in that silence, they're trying to qualify themselves.

00:14:51 Yeah, they reveal more.

00:14:52 And then Gideon's just like this.

00:14:54 Yeah, and I'm there dying, because they don't expect me to speak, obviously, to fill that

00:14:58 silence, they expect him to, because he always leaves the conversation.

00:15:01 So yeah, it's just really funny.

00:15:02 He's just there, like, dead silent.

00:15:04 Where did he learn that?

00:15:05 I don't know.

00:15:06 Gideon, he watches all this stuff, probably 48 laws of power.

00:15:09 I don't know.

00:15:10 He's watched all this stuff for years.

00:15:12 BTR says there's a corny way to show romance and a cool way to show romance.

00:15:15 Andrew Tate.

00:15:16 What do you think that is?

00:15:16 What's the corny?

00:15:17 That's very true.

00:15:18 I don't know, because the thing is, I'm not a man, so I don't know.

00:15:21 You know when Fresh and Fit did that thing where they asked the girls to pick up other 0.98

00:15:25 girls, pretend to be a man? 1.00

00:15:27 I hate that segment.

00:15:28 It's so boring, yeah.

00:15:29 Well, no, it's funny.

00:15:30 It's so repetitive.

00:15:31 Girls just don't know how to do it. 1.00

00:15:32 Yeah, I don't know how I would do it.

00:15:35 Yeah, at least you admit it.

00:15:36 I don't know what I would do.

00:15:37 I'm trying to think.

00:15:38 I have no idea.

00:15:39 It depends as well if you're an attractive man, right?

00:15:42 Because then it's completely different.

00:15:44 What do you mean?

00:15:45 Well, I feel like if you're a hot guy, you can just go in and be pretty chill and she'll

00:15:52 be interested because you'll say if someone's tall, handsome.

00:15:55 If he's 6'7", Giga Chad, like the guy on the date, then he just shows up. 0.73

00:15:59 I'll be like, hey.

00:16:02 And then you've got to see where it goes.

00:16:03 You're not supposed to say that because then the guys, all the short guys are going to

00:16:05 be like, go black pill and they're going to say there's no point in approving.

00:16:09 Oh, Chad is 6'7".

00:16:10 So untrue.

00:16:12 I know some great guys who are like...

00:16:14 5'3"?

00:16:16 5'8".

00:16:17 What would you say to the guys that are 5'3 watching this?

00:16:20 Get built.

00:16:22 Get big.

00:16:22 It's easy to get built if you're 5'3".

00:16:24 Get really, really muscular.

00:16:26 Yeah, you'll be a square, you know?

00:16:27 No, you have to.

00:16:28 You have to.

00:16:29 Make money.

00:16:31 Be strong.

00:16:32 Be funny.

00:16:32 Be into it.

00:16:32 But you wouldn't date anybody short...

00:16:34 What are you, 5'3", 5'4"?

00:16:35 I'm 5'3".

00:16:36 Just.

00:16:37 Could you date a guy who's 5'3"?

00:16:38 No.

00:16:39 Boom, Baka! 0.99

00:16:41 Sorry.

00:16:42 But you'll go on...

00:16:43 But what if he's not vaccinated?

00:16:44 You went on a date with vaccinated Giga Chad 6'7".

00:16:47 What about...

00:16:48 Well, somebody offered me...

00:16:48 Pure-blooded 5'3".

00:16:50 Somebody offered me a pure-blood...

00:16:52 An amazing man that's like literally my type.

00:16:55 But he's 19 years older.

00:16:57 So?

00:16:58 That's your thing?

00:16:58 No, no.

00:16:59 What the...

00:17:00 Bro, you...

00:17:00 Leia, why are you so...

00:17:02 Why are you so specific about your qualifications?

00:17:05 Because I'll be 50 and he'll be 70.

00:17:08 So?

00:17:09 What do you mean so?

00:17:11 It's not gonna work.

00:17:12 That stuff shows later years in life.

00:17:14 I don't want a man that's like 20 years older than me. 0.97

00:17:16 It needs to be the sweet spot exactly 10 years older?

00:17:19 No, it can be anywhere between 3 and 10.

00:17:22 So I'm in my mid-20s.

00:17:23 I would go for a man who's like 29... 0.57

00:17:27 Or also mid-20s.

00:17:29 It depends how mature he is and what...

00:17:31 Yes, I would.

00:17:32 But it depends like where he's at in life.

00:17:33 He's probably not looking to get married.

00:17:35 He's probably not gonna want to get married for another like 10 years.

00:17:37 If he's 26, he probably doesn't want to get married until he's like 36.

00:17:41 And I can't wait until I'm 36.

00:17:44 Understandable.

00:17:44 Yeah.

00:17:45 Does it matter what your husband does for a living?

00:17:48 Yeah, he's...

00:17:49 Yeah.

00:17:49 He's gotta be an entrepreneur so that when tyranny comes, he can save us.

00:17:53 Okay.

00:17:54 Yeah.

00:17:54 Because it came.

00:17:55 You know, it came and...

00:17:56 It did come.

00:17:56 Yeah.

00:17:57 It did come.

00:17:57 Yeah.

00:17:58 A lot of these guys lost their jobs.

00:18:00 Yeah.

00:18:00 And some of them got vaccinated to save their jobs.

00:18:02 Mm.

00:18:03 Not hard.

00:18:03 Bruh.

00:18:05 What did someone say?

00:18:06 That...

00:18:06 Oh, I can't.

00:18:07 That way she's set up.

00:18:08 She can't get what she wants. 1.00

00:18:10 Lol.

00:18:10 I don't know what that means. 0.97

00:18:12 You'll speak to them when you're goddamn good and ready.

00:18:15 Male characters today, however, mirror whatever they see and hear instead of imposing their 0.95

00:18:19 own pace and tone on the conversation.

00:18:21 They seem uncomfortable with the idea of protracted silence and feel the need to constantly talk

00:18:26 to fill the gaps.

00:18:27 Any real action that they take has to be undercut by ironic, self-deprecating humour, which instead

00:18:32 of being funny, just makes them come across as insecure and lacking the confidence of their

00:18:37 own convictions.

00:18:38 Like the idea of being assertive and taking decisive action is so silly that it has to be made into

00:18:43 a self-conscious joke. 0.61

00:18:45 Generally speaking, they're easily intimidated and outmatched by strong female personality. 1.00

00:18:49 Yes.

00:18:50 Actual feminists in Star Wars. 1.00

00:18:51 A blue-haired, they-them feminists in Star Wars. 0.82

00:18:55 They really did switch the gender roles. 1.00

00:18:57 It actually makes me feel sick.

00:18:59 Like they really did.

00:19:00 And do you know what?

00:19:00 It's so not true.

00:19:02 Like they always try so hard to pretend that like women can do what men can do. 0.98

00:19:06 We literally can't.

00:19:07 Like I'm living proof of it.

00:19:08 Like I can.

00:19:10 Like I can be, I'm more successful than most men my age.

00:19:14 But like, is it, is it like enjoyable?

00:19:17 No.

00:19:17 You just want to be housewife cooking. 0.64

00:19:19 Yeah.

00:19:20 Making a little garden.

00:19:22 Yeah.

00:19:22 Taking your little walks.

00:19:23 Yeah.

00:19:24 Yeah.

00:19:25 I feel somewhat retired at the moment anyway.

00:19:26 Because I don't really work that hard anymore.

00:19:29 Yeah.

00:19:29 Your brother seems to do a lot of the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

00:19:31 He does.

00:19:32 He does.

00:19:32 Yeah.

00:19:33 Yeah.

00:19:33 He does.

00:19:34 BTR says, I sell soap for $200 a month.

00:19:36 Do I have a chance, Leia?

00:19:38 No.

00:19:39 Is it nice soap?

00:19:40 Is it pretty?

00:19:41 Is it obvious that he does the heavy lifting?

00:19:43 We prefer it like that.

00:19:45 It's pretty obvious.

00:19:46 Is it?

00:19:46 I can tell based on the podcast, the way he was setting everything up and organizing.

00:19:49 I'm like, okay, I get, I understand the team.

00:19:51 And that's why you get to be yourself.

00:19:53 Because I think when a woman has to do the hard work, like she ends up becoming masculine. 1.00

00:19:56 I was wondering how you're able to do all this consecration and still be like,

00:20:00 blah, blah, blah.

00:20:01 No, it's true.

00:20:02 But we weren't always working together.

00:20:04 We only started working together in April last year.

00:20:06 So I like got to, I got us here and then like, he just, he joined.

00:20:13 Yeah.

00:20:13 He, yeah. 0.99

00:20:14 He was doing other shit. 0.99

00:20:15 And then he just wanted to do it. 0.98

00:20:16 Do you help him find, does he have a girlfriend?

00:20:18 Do you help him like pick up, are you, you don't want to say that?

00:20:21 Yeah.

00:20:22 No, no, we can.

00:20:22 No, he doesn't need help.

00:20:24 He doesn't, he needs no help.

00:20:26 Okay.

00:20:26 He's like.

00:20:27 I think you could return the favor though.

00:20:28 He's there finding Kika, six, seven Kika Chad. 0.93

00:20:30 We were at Kiki on the river.

00:20:32 You know, Kiki on the river.

00:20:33 Yeah.

00:20:33 We were at Kiki on the river.

00:20:34 And there was this one girl that was like really hot and she was with a man and we were

00:20:38 like, whatever, obviously.

00:20:39 So I went to the bathroom and she was in the bathroom. 1.00

00:20:41 And then I was like, my brother thinks you're really hot.

00:20:44 And she's like, I don't speak English.

00:20:46 I was like, nevermind.

00:20:48 That's the problem in Miami.

00:20:49 I like, I hate the Spanish thing sometimes.

00:20:52 It's like, bro, I just don't want to have a conversation.

00:20:54 Flying Rapids.

00:20:55 Most movies prior to 2018 are woke nonsense.

00:20:57 Tarantino said it best that everything now is homogenized and overly preachy.

00:21:01 We need a new wave of creativity.

00:21:03 Not TikTok.

00:21:03 That's what I want to do.

00:21:04 That's my goal with this is to make enough money streaming and then start my own production

00:21:09 company and make some good movies.

00:21:10 I was actually having some talks today about doing this because we need wife beater, Sneeko. 1.00

00:21:16 What is the one above?

00:21:17 Sneeko, you should dat Leia. 0.99

00:21:19 She's wife beater. 1.00

00:21:19 Yeah, but Sneeko doesn't want to get married for like 20 years. 1.00

00:21:22 We know that, don't we?

00:21:23 When did I say that?

00:21:24 No, I'm joking.

00:21:25 You said you don't want to get married.

00:21:26 You're a man.

00:21:27 You don't like, you don't, look at you.

00:21:30 Look at you in this lovely apartment in Miami.

00:21:33 Yeah, I need someone to help. 1.00

00:21:34 It smells like weed in here and shit. 0.99

00:21:35 They're calling me Pothead Sneeko. 1.00

00:21:37 I need a nice housewife to go clean this shit up. 1.00

00:21:40 No, you don't want to get married until you're like mid-30s. 0.99

00:21:43 You don't even want to get married.

00:21:44 Don't you want to have like multiple wives? 1.00

00:21:47 I'm not like mine!

00:21:47 Yeah, he wants multiple wives. 1.00

00:21:49 It's good.

00:21:50 You should get whatever you can demand.

00:21:56 Command.

00:21:57 Command is the better word.

00:21:58 Whatever you can command.

00:22:00 No, actually, this is not even trying to, chat's going to call me a sip for saying that, 0.99

00:22:04 but I've been, you know what's not some red pill shit? 1.00

00:22:08 It's fucking hoes. 1.00

00:22:09 Wait, what? 1.00

00:22:10 So what's not red pill?

00:22:11 Because you're red pill.

00:22:12 Red pill is just the truth.

00:22:13 The truth is realizing like feminism is brainwashing, 1.00

00:22:16 but that doesn't mean you need to go fuck a bunch of hoes all the time. 1.00

00:22:19 Agreed. 1.00

00:22:20 It's a giant waste of time.

00:22:21 It's a big waste of your energy and it's not that fulfilling and a lot of it is just

00:22:25 filling a void.

00:22:26 Is it not fulfilling?

00:22:27 No, not at all.

00:22:28 That's interesting.

00:22:28 Not at all.

00:22:29 Like afterwards, you're like, bro, like you'll be with the girl and she's just here and she's

00:22:33 like, hey, hey. 1.00

00:22:34 And you're like, fuck off now. 1.00

00:22:37 Like, can you go? 1.00

00:22:38 And then she's just here.

00:22:39 Because you'll go with any girl that's like hot, right? 0.98

00:22:41 So then like there's like nothing up there.

00:22:43 So is it genuinely quite awkward the next day?

00:22:45 Is she even saying?

00:22:46 Oh, she's not saying the next day. 1.00

00:22:47 Fuck you know. 1.00

00:22:48 Bye. 1.00

00:22:50 Fuck out of here. 1.00

00:22:50 Oh, damn. 1.00

00:22:51 People at like five in the morning are just like go. 1.00

00:22:54 Yeah.

00:22:55 Just go.

00:22:55 I'll call you Uber.

00:22:56 Like, yeah.

00:22:57 And it's just, and it's just, she's just there.

00:23:00 And then it's, you know, and then you find a hair and you're like gross.

00:23:05 An eyelash.

00:23:08 Laying in your bed.

00:23:09 And you're like, why did I do this?

00:23:10 I see a Lee, Lee, Lee.

00:23:11 That's actually happened.

00:23:12 I've had, like, I woke up the next day and I'm like, I'm like, what is that?

00:23:16 Is that a bug? 0.98

00:23:16 And it's just a fucking CVS Lee, Lee, Lee laying in there. 0.99

00:23:20 I'm like, what have I done? 1.00

00:23:21 That's disgusting.

00:23:22 What am I doing? 0.82

00:23:23 No, it's really, it's really unfulfilling.

00:23:25 Yeah.

00:23:25 He's ashamed of you.

00:23:26 Yeah.

00:23:26 It gets, no, it gets, it gets extremely repetitive.

00:23:32 He's usually fooled in like a house of cards.

00:23:35 Do the girls know that they're a one night stand or do they think it's like something 0.91

00:23:39 more?

00:23:40 Um, a lot of them want something more.

00:23:43 They want a relationship out of it.

00:23:45 Or like after, you know, the pair bonding thing, like once they sleep with you there, 1.00

00:23:50 they start to like, and it's like, fuck off, you know? 1.00

00:23:55 Oh yeah. 1.00

00:23:56 No, but you don't know how to tell them.

00:23:57 Um, some of them, some of them straight, like mine is straight forward.

00:24:01 So it's like, okay, I'll got to go by.

00:24:02 I'm like, okay, cool.

00:24:03 They just left.

00:24:03 Um, but a lot of them will be like, they'll be like, what are we?

00:24:08 You know?

00:24:08 Like, and you're like, yeah.

00:24:10 You're like, well, are you serious? 1.00

00:24:12 Are you dumb? 1.00

00:24:12 Like genuinely, you really, where did you meet a girl that would do that in a club? 1.00

00:24:17 Yeah.

00:24:17 You know, Miami, like, I don't know what that means.

00:24:20 Miami.

00:24:20 Like, you know, I could meet someone at the gym on a walk.

00:24:24 Whereas people in the gym, uh, there was a guy that I met in the gym and he was vaccinated

00:24:28 and I was like, I actually told him straight.

00:24:30 I was like, I was like, you're a really cool guy.

00:24:32 You great physique, like love it.

00:24:35 But I was like, I'm going to be honest with you.

00:24:36 You're vaccinated.

00:24:37 That's a problem for me.

00:24:39 And what did, what did he say?

00:24:40 He's tried it.

00:24:41 He tried a bit and then he didn't realize how, how dead serious I was until he followed

00:24:46 me on Instagram and then saw my reels.

00:24:48 And you said, uh, Bitcoin, no, unvaccinated sperm is the next Bitcoin. 0.96

00:24:51 Yeah. 0.92

00:24:51 It was like, this girl really is insane. 1.00

00:24:52 And then he unfollowed me and gave them a spook.

00:24:55 Boom, Boka.

00:24:55 What do you think about people saying a lot of the, this leftist idea right now, and there's

00:24:59 these only fans girls coming out of Twitter saying that you're not supposed to approach

00:25:02 a girl in the gym.

00:25:02 Like, Oh my God, these creepy guys.

00:25:04 I, I've approached girls in the gym.

00:25:05 You should approach girls in the gym. 0.83

00:25:06 You shouldn't?

00:25:07 Well, no.

00:25:08 You shouldn't.

00:25:09 You're saying you shouldn't, but you've, it's happened to you.

00:25:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:12 So what do you mean?

00:25:13 Because like, I think, I think all girl, all girls in general want to be approached.

00:25:20 Yeah.

00:25:20 Okay.

00:25:21 Especially, you know, when like she's sitting at a bar by herself or she's sitting at dinner

00:25:24 by herself or a coffee by herself.

00:25:26 Like, I genuinely think all women want to be approached, but only by a man that they're 1.00

00:25:31 attracted to.

00:25:32 Like attractive men can get away with it.

00:25:35 No, it's true.

00:25:35 Attractive men can get away with it. 0.81

00:25:37 Right.

00:25:37 It's sexual assault.

00:25:38 If you're creepy. 0.87

00:25:40 Unfortunately.

00:25:40 Yeah.

00:25:41 It's unspoken attraction.

00:25:42 But then also, if you have an attention seeking call, like the girl on Twitter, who we saw,

00:25:47 you know that one that went viral?

00:25:48 Yeah.

00:25:49 Yeah.

00:25:49 I mean, you've got to be careful.

00:25:50 Oh, that's what I'm talking about.

00:25:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:52 I saw that, yeah.

00:25:52 So like, you've got to be careful because you don't want that to happen with her, with

00:25:55 a girl like that, because then she will like, me too you.

00:25:57 You know what I mean?

00:25:58 Yeah.

00:25:59 It's funny that she's like complaining about guys, like, all guys do is sexualize me.

00:26:03 Only fans, link in bio. 1.00

00:26:04 Get the fuck out of here. 0.99

00:26:05 Right when I saw that go viral, I'm like, oh, she's going to get exposed. 0.99

00:26:07 And I clicked her Twitch link and her Twitch, she's playing a video game, just bawling

00:26:10 her eyes out, like sobbing.

00:26:12 And I'm like, what's she crying about?

00:26:14 About like, I was just trying to shed a light about women in the gym. 0.95

00:26:19 No, you don't dress like that.

00:26:20 Why'd you dress like that at a gym?

00:26:22 What do you dress like in the gym?

00:26:23 I don't dress like that.

00:26:24 I don't wear tiny little. 1.00

00:26:26 Dinky little shorts and shit. 0.99

00:26:27 No, I wear either like a skirt with shorts underneath or long trousers or shorts that 0.99

00:26:32 come to my knee. 1.00

00:26:33 I'm dressing like a fucking. 1.00

00:26:34 Go says, what she meant was if you 6'5 and shredded, then approach in the gym. 1.00

00:26:38 You're black, don't. 1.00

00:26:39 Yeah. 1.00

00:26:40 Ah, you're blackpilling these people.

00:26:42 A lot of guys like they, they hate to hear that because, you know, the red pills is meant

00:26:46 to teach them that you could build yourself up.

00:26:48 No, no, no, but you can.

00:26:49 I'm just, I'm just saying in these like, in these weird specific scenarios, you've got

00:26:55 to be, you know, only certain people can get, get away with it.

00:26:58 But it also depends like how the conversation goes, what happens.

00:27:02 Has a, an ugly, funny guy ever been able to run down on you?

00:27:06 Run down means like approach you.

00:27:07 Thanks.

00:27:08 Um, I'll be funny.

00:27:10 No.

00:27:11 Um, I shut men down really quickly, unfortunately. 1.00

00:27:14 Damn. 1.00

00:27:15 I shut men down. 1.00

00:27:16 Give me a scenario.

00:27:17 What was the last time you shot a guy down?

00:27:19 Okay.

00:27:19 So I was, I was, this was like a few months ago.

00:27:21 I was walking with my mom and this guy just outside Brooklyn city center came up to me

00:27:26 and he was like, you're very beautiful.

00:27:28 Um, and I was like, thank you.

00:27:30 Um, and he was like, how old are you?

00:27:31 And he thought I was, and I was like, yes.

00:27:33 And then he was like 24.

00:27:34 I was like, no, I was 25 at the time.

00:27:36 And then he, and then he was like, can I take you out?

00:27:40 And I was like, oh, I have a boyfriend.

00:27:41 Because I just didn't find him handsome.

00:27:43 He was though.

00:27:44 It was all right.

00:27:44 I just didn't find him like, you know, handsome. 0.99

00:27:46 And then my mom was like, to me, I was like, shit, should I go out with him? 0.99

00:27:50 What should I have done? 0.99

00:27:51 And I was like, no, if it was a real man, he would have said, come out with me anyway.

00:27:55 That's what my mom said.

00:27:55 And I was like, and I was like, yeah, you're right.

00:27:58 If that's what my mom said, he should have said, yeah, come out with me anyway.

00:28:03 So then I tweeted, by the way, I tweeted, if a beautiful woman says, she's says that she's

00:28:07 not single, would you still, would you still approach?

00:28:10 And then all the men on Twitter that I admire said, yes, I would still.

00:28:13 And I was like, they're capping.

00:28:15 There's no way if, if that happened, that scenario gross to not have a boyfriend, stuff

00:28:18 like that.

00:28:19 And then your, your mom is right there too.

00:28:21 I'm not getting rejected in front of you and your mom.

00:28:23 I'm not taking generational no's.

00:28:26 Generational L's. 0.78

00:28:27 I'm out of here.

00:28:27 I'm like, no, I liked it.

00:28:29 I thought, I don't know.

00:28:30 I don't know.

00:28:31 It's kind of hot.

00:28:31 I said to my brother, I was like, Gideon, if you saw a woman you thought was like really

00:28:34 attractive and you approached her and she was like, I'm not single.

00:28:38 Would you, you know, would you still approach?

00:28:40 And he's like, yeah.

00:28:40 Cause apparently all women are single until she has a ring. 1.00

00:28:45 That's what Red Pill Twitter taught me.

00:28:48 Apparently all women are single until she has a ring. 1.00

00:28:50 Yeah.

00:28:50 I have a boyfriend.

00:28:50 I'd be like, yeah, we can be friends though.

00:28:52 Yeah, exactly.

00:28:52 Okay.

00:28:53 Yeah.

00:28:53 And then you can like, you know, oh, and then a guy,

00:28:55 I approached me, you know, we saw each other at dinner and guy was at dinner with his

00:28:59 mom, which was really cute.

00:29:00 And then he came over to your table.

00:29:02 Yeah.

00:29:03 Which I thought was really impressive, but I didn't find him attractive.

00:29:07 It was kind of skinny.

00:29:08 He was too skinny.

00:29:09 Yeah.

00:29:09 Imagine being skinny. 0.99

00:29:11 I need a man that looks like he can like beat the shit out of someone just in case. 0.97

00:29:14 Seiko, when you make your production company, let us know how fiction writers like myself 0.97

00:29:18 can contribute.

00:29:19 It's time to get back creating things.

00:29:20 People remember for generations is flying Raptor.

00:29:22 Yeah.

00:29:22 We can talk about that.

00:29:23 And I think the creativity gets a good place, but yeah, we are struggling to watch this video.

00:29:27 Sorry.

00:29:27 We are, we are, I know it's good.

00:29:28 Don't say sorry, but like there's still, um, wait, let me just give you one last example.

00:29:33 Why, why you need to be like super strong.

00:29:35 I don't know if I mentioned this on the last one, um, but there's a guy that lives in my

00:29:38 building.

00:29:38 Who's an absolute lunatic and I almost filed a restraining order against him. 1.00

00:29:42 What the hell? 1.00

00:29:42 Yeah.

00:29:43 So now every time I, I, I go home, like if I'm with like whoever I'm with, they won't

00:29:47 let me get in like the, the elevator at the same time as him.

00:29:51 And then like, if I'm with like a friend who's like strong, masculine, like he'll stand

00:29:56 there and like scare him away.

00:29:58 You know what I mean?

00:29:59 He's a stalker? 1.00

00:30:00 No, he's just like a, he's a fucking lunatic. 1.00

00:30:02 He hits his girlfriend. 1.00

00:30:03 We tried to get him evicted, but we couldn't.

00:30:05 So that's what I'm saying.

00:30:06 And when my brother's there, he doesn't look my way.

00:30:09 So that's why I need like strong next, like strong man next to me.

00:30:12 So that like this guy doesn't like, you know, try and yeah, do anything.

00:30:17 Protection.

00:30:19 The intimidated and outmatched by strong female personalities, usually folding like a house 1.00

00:30:24 of cards the moment they're challenged on something and they're almost never able to

00:30:27 hold their own in an argument.

00:30:29 Even if the facts in general situation actually support their position, they lack both the quick

00:30:34 thinking and the belief in themselves needed to press their advantage and assert control

00:30:38 over a situation.

00:30:39 In functional terms, what you see on screen these days aren't really men in the normal

00:30:43 sense.

00:30:44 They're basically hyperactive, hyper emotional, hyper talkative children forced into men's 0.97

00:30:49 bodies.

00:30:50 They're a kind of shallow, trite projection of what insecure, effeminate, emotionally fragile

00:30:56 Hollywood screenwriters imagine men to be.

00:30:58 Either because they dislike the idea of the masculine, stoic, male archetype, or they lack

00:31:03 the breadth of life experience to be able to write characters like that in the first

00:31:06 place.

00:31:07 There seems to be this weird belief that stoic personalities are inherently dangerous and

00:31:11 unhealthy, like men who don't constantly express their every thought and feeling are

00:31:16 nothing but fountains of repressed rage and raw emotion.

00:31:19 That taking decisive action and wanting to assert control over a tense situation is somehow

00:31:24 fundamentally wrong.

00:31:25 Well, if you're a man anyway. 1.00

00:31:27 And well, to put it bluntly, that's absolute bullshit. 0.99

00:31:31 The reality is that most of the time, men just don't feel things as deeply as people 0.99

00:31:35 seem to imagine.

00:31:36 They don't tend to get hung up on things in the same way that other people do.

00:31:39 They don't constantly fret and worry over trivial problems.

00:31:42 They don't like to be disrespected or treated as the weak link in the chain.

00:31:46 And they generally don't complain about minor discomforts or things that nobody can actually

00:31:50 fix because they find that kind of behaviour annoying and off-putting in other people.

00:31:54 And yet, that seems to be what we're being force-fed in our fictional characters these

00:31:58 days. 0.99

00:31:59 Jesus, no wonder cinemas are having their worst years in fucking decades. 0.99

00:32:03 Whatever the reasoning behind it, the result is a kind of frustrating, neutered, childlike 0.99

00:32:08 interpretation of male behaviour.

00:32:10 Funny how Go Woke, Go Broke applies to every single industry.

00:32:13 Every industry.

00:32:15 And they try so hard to not have that the case.

00:32:19 And yet...

00:32:19 Every single time, Go Woke, Go Broke.

00:32:21 Mitch, thanks for the 20, says Liko. 1.00

00:32:23 Fuck you, bro. 1.00

00:32:24 And Ghost, thank you for the 10 chat. 1.00

00:32:26 You don't need to be over 6 feet to be strong, know how to fight.

00:32:28 On 5'9", 175, guess who else?

00:32:29 It's Canelo, Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier.

00:32:32 Yeah, 5'9''s fine.

00:32:33 I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with 5'8".

00:32:34 You said 5'8''s the...

00:32:35 Yeah.

00:32:36 Okay.

00:32:37 Yeah, yeah.

00:32:37 That doesn't really line up with what real, normal people experience day to day.

00:32:42 Personally, I find that I can't relate to more and more male characters in movies today

00:32:46 because they simply don't talk, act, or look like any of the men I've actually known

00:32:50 in my life.

00:32:51 What do you think about the narrator's voice? 1.00

00:32:52 Somebody donated 20 and said, this guy's talking like a masculine soy boy, what the fuck? 0.99

00:32:55 No, he's Scottish. 0.99

00:32:57 This is like masculinity at its finest.

00:33:00 So it's funny, it's perfect.

00:33:02 And I remember when the guy who was saying he's 26 to live in Miami, he's definitely

00:33:06 vaccinated because he hasn't chatted again.

00:33:08 Yeah.

00:33:08 Wait, what about this man?

00:33:10 Wait, where did he go?

00:33:11 The one in the green?

00:33:12 It said, 26, country, Aussie, unvaxxed, six feet, and building passive income to break

00:33:16 out of the matrix.

00:33:17 What are you doing, Leia?

00:33:18 I don't know.

00:33:19 I feel like he's on his way up.

00:33:20 I don't know.

00:33:21 You want somebody at the end of the finish line?

00:33:23 No, he doesn't have to be at the finish line.

00:33:24 He just needs to be like, you know, a little bit closer. 0.97

00:33:28 Yeah, Dankley, you fucked it up by saying building passive income. 0.94

00:33:30 You just said built, passive income. 0.99

00:33:34 Leia, is the West dead, says Jamal Smith.

00:33:37 Yeah, unfortunately.

00:33:39 Well, look, we made it.

00:33:41 We made it.

00:33:42 Yeah, but we both want to get out.

00:33:43 Yeah.

00:33:44 I want to, I was thinking about, well, I had Brian Dawson on yesterday and he was saying

00:33:47 that I should go visit him in Japan.

00:33:48 I've never been there.

00:33:49 Oh, I don't know.

00:33:51 You've never, you've been there?

00:33:52 No, I haven't.

00:33:53 But isn't like Japan, I don't know.

00:33:54 I know it's not China, but isn't it?

00:33:55 I could be really wrong.

00:33:56 I'm sorry if I sound super ignorant, but like, I imagine it's very, not as bad as

00:34:00 China.

00:34:00 No, I know, but it's still really, isn't it quite like, it's got a, it's got a collective

00:34:04 mindset.

00:34:05 I know that.

00:34:06 Yeah.

00:34:06 There's no, there's no individualism.

00:34:08 It's very collectivism, the society, which I don't like personally.

00:34:12 You want a bunch of main characters walking around.

00:34:15 Mm-hmm.

00:34:16 Individualism.

00:34:17 Have you been to Dubai before?

00:34:19 Yeah.

00:34:19 You have?

00:34:20 Yeah.

00:34:20 What did you think?

00:34:22 Oh, I was only there for like five days in April last year for a Bitcoin thing.

00:34:26 And yeah, it was, it was all right.

00:34:28 It kind of gave me a bit of a headache because like, it was so man-made, but I didn't get

00:34:32 to see much.

00:34:33 Yeah.

00:34:33 It's like a big, someone, someone described it on Twitter as like a mirage in the desert.

00:34:37 Like you're walking through the sand and like, there's an imaginary place that spawned

00:34:40 and that's kind of, I mean, I haven't been there, but that's what it seems like.

00:34:43 Oh, you haven't been?

00:34:43 No, I've never been.

00:34:44 It's like one big brickle in my opinion.

00:34:46 That's what, that's what it looks like.

00:34:47 Yeah.

00:34:48 One big brickle.

00:34:48 But there's no ocean and it's extremely, it's also funny that it's kind of like, there's

00:34:53 a lot of hedonism there, especially in a country that's really Muslim. 1.00

00:34:57 So much, so much hedonism.

00:34:59 And like, I was, so I was on stage and there was all these, um, like royalties or something

00:35:04 and like his excellency or whatever.

00:35:06 And you're not allowed, I crossed my legs and like the sole of my feet naturally would

00:35:10 like point upwards.

00:35:13 Literally.

00:35:13 They were like, you're not allowed to do that. 1.00

00:35:16 They called you a whore for your feet. 1.00

00:35:17 They were like, everyone, they were, even the men, they were like, the soles of your 0.99

00:35:21 shoes should face the floor.

00:35:22 You gotta hide those feet, Leia. 0.96

00:35:24 I know, they're really nice feet, so.

00:35:26 Yeah, that's just for your husband though.

00:35:27 Yeah.

00:35:28 They are.

00:35:29 Yeah.

00:35:29 And they're definitely not something I'd want to aspire to.

00:35:34 Trope number two, the deconstructed hero.

00:35:37 Remember all those awesome, heroic male characters that you liked when you were growing up?

00:35:41 Well, forget about them because they were never actually heroes in the first place and

00:35:45 modern Hollywood is determined to prove it to you.

00:35:47 And truly, what more quintessential example could I possibly give to start things off

00:35:51 than Luke Skywalker, who went from one of the most iconic and beloved heroes in all of cinema

00:35:56 to a sad, broken, miserable and forlorn man, living alone on a windswept island and just

00:36:02 running out the clock until he could eventually die.

00:36:05 Truly, Rian Johnson understood exactly what he was doing with this one. 0.89

00:36:08 He performed the most epic character assassination of all time, determined to kill not just the

00:36:13 man but his legacy along with him.

00:36:15 Or how about Rocky Balboa, the ultimate underdog and symbol of scrappy, determined optimism.

00:36:20 A man who fought his way to the top through sheer determination and willpower, taking down

00:36:24 men bigger and stronger than himself through sheer refusal to give up.

00:36:28 Then you get to something like Creed where he's portrayed as a sad, lonely old man who's

00:36:32 given up on life.

00:36:33 A man who isn't even willing to go through life-saving cancer treatment because he just

00:36:37 doesn't care about living anymore.

00:36:39 Truly inspiring stuff.

00:36:40 Or Jean-Luc Picard, the cultured, intelligent, clear-headed diplomat, capable leader and brave

00:36:46 explorer from Star Trek The Next Generation, once the epitome of the thinking man's hero,

00:36:51 now reduced to a confused, frail old man who needs to be put firmly in his place by someone

00:36:56 more diverse.

00:36:59 Yeah, that'll teach you to get ideas above your station, Jean-Luc.

00:37:05 Or how about Superman?

00:37:06 Superman, surely one of the most long-standing examples of the strong, square-jawed, patriotic

00:37:11 male superhero.

00:37:12 Well, not in the mind of Zack Snyder, who transformed him into a sullen, brooding, conflicted outsider

00:37:18 who doesn't even know if he can or should help humanity in any way.

00:37:22 Well, you really nailed the character there, Zack.

00:37:24 Well done, son.

00:37:25 Or perhaps James Bond, surely the ultimate man's man.

00:37:29 A tough, cold, ruthless man of action who can handle any threat and seduce any woman with

00:37:33 ease.

00:37:34 But oh no, we can't allow harmful stereotypes like that to persist in the current era of

00:37:38 Hollywood.

00:37:39 We have to make him sad and pouty and hung up on a woman who died like four movies ago.

00:37:43 And when he tries to flirt with women now, it becomes a point of awkward comedy because 0.59

00:37:47 gosh darn it, why on earth would they be attracted to a man like him?

00:37:51 Yep, that's what I want. 0.98

00:37:52 I want to be laughing at James Bond.

00:37:54 Just like all the others, he has to be carefully softened, broken down, his air of danger and

00:37:59 sensuality and confidence slowly stripped away to make him less threatening, less assertive,

00:38:04 less intelligent, and well, generally just less than what he was before.

00:38:09 And ultimately, it points to one general problem.

00:38:11 We're not being given positive, inspiring male heroes to look up to anymore, and the

00:38:15 ones that we used to enjoy are having their legacies slowly eroded and undermined in an

00:38:20 attempt to taint our whole perception of them.

00:38:22 We've got nothing to look forward to in the present, and our past is being taken away

00:38:26 from us.

00:38:26 You've got to love it.

00:38:28 Trope number three. 1.00

00:38:29 Men are just dumb, I guess. 1.00

00:38:31 One of the things that really seems to have taken hold in modern entertainment is the 1.00

00:38:34 idea that the smartest person in the room can never possibly be a man. 0.99

00:38:38 Whether it's comically brain-dead morons like the Red Guardian from Black Widow, whose 1.00

00:38:42 one and only character trait is that he could punch things really hard. 1.00

00:38:45 Well, except when he has to actually fight someone important.

00:38:48 Or supposedly ruthless military leaders like General Hux getting suckered in and provoked

00:38:53 into a rage by a Your Mum joke. 1.00

00:38:56 Or the seemingly endless numbers of dumb, corrupt, abusive men in Westworld just lining 1.00

00:39:00 up to be summarily executed for their crimes. 0.99

00:39:03 I'm not kidding, pretty much every episode from season one onwards is just the same trope

00:39:07 repeated over and over again.

00:39:09 Or how about Dr Henry Wu, the brilliant genetic engineer who made Jurassic Park possible?

00:39:15 Except it turns out that he wasn't actually all that brilliant after all, because all he

00:39:19 really did was piggyback off the research of Charlotte Lockwood, a far more talented

00:39:24 and intelligent scientist who nobody had ever heard of until she was retconned into the

00:39:28 story later.

00:39:29 The message is always the same. 1.00

00:39:31 Men and everything that they do are stupid. 1.00

00:39:33 They didn't earn or deserve anything that they actually have. 1.00

00:39:36 And most of the time, they need a smarter, stronger and better female character to get 1.00

00:39:40 them on track.

00:39:41 This is what I really, really annoyed me about the debate yesterday with the feminist girls 1.00

00:39:45 is that they'll say that there's no biological difference between men and women.

00:39:50 The reason that women are not in a role of leadership is because of the programming. 1.00

00:39:55 It's because of there's a lack of empowerment.

00:39:58 And this is a perfect example of how it's been overcorrected too much.

00:40:01 Like how much more do you actually want?

00:40:03 But it's also not true though.

00:40:04 Like this is the thing which I personally find so exhausting because it's like I'm from the

00:40:09 Western world.

00:40:10 I had every opportunity.

00:40:12 I can go, I can go forward and be a girl boss if I want.

00:40:16 I like, I can do it.

00:40:17 But I'm at a point where it's like, I physically on the inside don't want to.

00:40:23 Like something just changes in you.

00:40:25 It's just nature.

00:40:27 It's not.

00:40:27 Yeah.

00:40:28 These girls leave college.

00:40:29 They leave all the empowerment because every single professor's woke and they think that

00:40:34 they need to be men in order to be happy.

00:40:35 And they're constantly in this ego battle and then when they get to their early 30s,

00:40:40 late 30s, they start taking antidepressants.

00:40:42 They get a bunch of cats. 0.76

00:40:43 They become lesbians. 0.99

00:40:44 They cut their hair off. 0.99

00:40:45 It's really sad though.

00:40:47 It's just time and time again.

00:40:48 And no matter how many debates, like it's never going to, you're not, you're not going

00:40:52 to get through to them.

00:40:53 And it gave me like four hours or something.

00:40:54 You're not going to get through to these girls.

00:40:56 Actually, one of the girls was infertile, which is like, I think, yeah, like a big reason 1.00

00:41:00 why I think she's a feminist. 1.00

00:41:02 Sneika, please be careful going to Japan and be blood-pilled. 1.00

00:41:04 Takes a long time to be ready to leave the West.

00:41:06 People need you.

00:41:07 I agree.

00:41:07 I'm not ready to go yet, BTR.

00:41:08 And thanks for the 20, Mitchell5.

00:41:10 2020, 2023 is the year of toxic masculinity.

00:41:13 So in your opinion, how do you differentiate the difference between toxic masculinity or

00:41:18 in actually being like the creepy guy beating his girl in your building?

00:41:22 So I think like the obvious thing, and I think it's very interesting is a man should be able

00:41:28 to control his emotions.

00:41:29 If a man can't control his emotions, then that makes him a dangerous man, which is completely

00:41:34 different to what they try and tell us.

00:41:35 They tell us if a man is like strong and stoic and he doesn't show his emotions, then that's

00:41:40 toxic.

00:41:41 When in fact, that's actually amazing.

00:41:43 A man that can't control his emotions and is very emotional is a dangerous man because

00:41:50 it means that if a woman rubs him the wrong way, triggers him, he's then going to go and

00:41:55 attack her.

00:41:56 Those are the men that you should be more afraid of, the men who can't control their emotions

00:42:00 because they'll do weird, dangerous stuff.

00:42:03 The male feminists, they can't control their emotions. 1.00

00:42:06 I don't want to be left in a room with them.

00:42:08 They might hit me if they don't like what I have to say because they can't control their

00:42:12 emotions.

00:42:13 A masculine man who can control his emotions is the safest kind of man to be around.

00:42:19 Justin Waller said it, I think the best way he said that you need to be the mountain that

00:42:24 her emotional waves crash against.

00:42:26 Yeah.

00:42:27 I've been like hit in public by some of my girlfriends.

00:42:31 I've been like shoved.

00:42:33 You shouldn't stand for that either because you don't want to be with a woman who like doesn't 1.00

00:42:37 know how to have public decency, like how to behave like a decent person.

00:42:43 Especially like I was in a public event, a bunch of YouTubers, a bunch of it. 0.99

00:42:46 And then.

00:42:46 Yeah.

00:42:46 But still, I've never, I've never, I've never hit a man in private.

00:42:49 Like I've never, I'm like, I would never, I would never do that.

00:42:52 Like out of like anger.

00:42:53 I can't, like, I'm not physical.

00:42:55 Like I'm not aggressive physically like that.

00:42:58 You wouldn't want to be with a woman that's like physically aggressive like that. 1.00

00:43:00 You've never done some, some immature shit like that. 0.98

00:43:02 I think part of the reason, part of what I learned a lot from this type of content of 0.98

00:43:06 this space is that you shouldn't tolerate any.

00:43:08 Like I've made a lot of excuses for my girlfriends and stuff like that.

00:43:11 I have been in situations where here's a, here's a, I'll paint out the scenario.

00:43:14 I was thinking about this a lot recently.

00:43:15 I was like 21, 22 and I'm at this event and she made the excuse.

00:43:19 Like I was on birth control and I was drunk.

00:43:20 So this is why I acted this way.

00:43:21 But I was meeting my friend's girlfriend and it was at a loud club.

00:43:25 So I had to lean in to like hear her and her like, it's just like talking to my ear.

00:43:28 And then she starts like, she starts like, why are you going to talk to that girl?

00:43:32 Like what, what's wrong with you? 1.00

00:43:34 Why don't you go get your bitch? 1.00

00:43:35 Go get your bitch. 1.00

00:43:35 And I'm like, I'm in public right now. 1.00

00:43:37 She's pushing me. 0.99

00:43:38 So obviously like fight or flight and say, like, I want to slap the fuck out. 0.99

00:43:41 Like, I genuinely want to hurt her, but I know I'm going to jail. 0.98

00:43:44 And now she's like, she's being hysterical and she's kind of my responsibility.

00:43:47 Like, and so then I ignore her and I'm like, okay, you're doing too much.

00:43:50 I want to stay here.

00:43:51 So I'm trying to be stoic.

00:43:52 I'm just like remaining, remaining calm.

00:43:54 It's a celebrate.

00:43:54 It's like my friend's birthday or something like that.

00:43:55 I don't remember what the event was, but it's like a celebration.

00:43:57 So I'm not going to leave.

00:43:58 Now she's being hysterical.

00:43:59 She wants attention because she feels like she's not getting anything.

00:44:01 She's always talking to this girl, whatever.

00:44:03 So I leave her alone.

00:44:04 And this is what she does to get attention. 1.00

00:44:05 She starts, there's a, there's like some random dude.

00:44:08 She starts like overly flirting with him and talking to him, like in the middle of this

00:44:11 place, everybody knows she's my girl.

00:44:13 And I'm like, what the f- and I'm just like, what she wants me to do right now is get in

00:44:16 a fight.

00:44:17 She wants me to like, that's my girl, like push her off. 0.94

00:44:20 But I'm just like, I just let her go.

00:44:21 No, no, let it be, let it be.

00:44:22 I just let it be.

00:44:23 And then she, I keep seeing her like flirting with this guy, like touching and stuff like that,

00:44:26 trying to get back at me for whispering in the ear or whatever.

00:44:28 And then she's like looking at me the whole time, like, does he see me doing this?

00:44:32 Why is he not being emotional?

00:44:33 And that, that was like, I think the biggest test where I realized like, you just have

00:44:37 to be, do the right thing.

00:44:39 You have to make the right chest move.

00:44:40 And every, if you get emotional like her, then we're going to end up in jail.

00:44:43 Like, you want a woman that's like emotionally intelligent. 0.95

00:44:46 Like, why would you behave like that?

00:44:49 Like, if that upsets you, then just like feel, feel, feel upset and deal with it later.

00:44:55 Tell him afterwards.

00:44:56 Yeah.

00:44:56 Like that, I didn't like that, that disrespected me.

00:44:59 Like that made me feel a certain way.

00:45:01 Like talk about it afterwards.

00:45:02 Do you think it was, so I, after that happened, I broke up with her, but then I started making

00:45:06 excuses.

00:45:07 I missed her, stuff like that.

00:45:08 We got back together.

00:45:09 Do you consider that simping?

00:45:11 No, I think no.

00:45:12 See the way you said, no, that's.

00:45:14 No, I think, I think like that you don't want to be too overly, um, you don't, you don't

00:45:21 want to take the red pill thing to, to like such a great extent where like you end up

00:45:25 losing someone who you really love and really care about. 1.00

00:45:28 Sounds like this girl's an idiot anyway. 1.00

00:45:30 But so when do you prioritize yourself and when do you prioritize love? 1.00

00:45:33 Like that's, that's the part where I disagree with my own refreshment and refreshment fit

00:45:37 is like academics talks about that because it's like they, the red pill ideology completely

00:45:43 takes, um, a way that you could like have feelings for somebody and they should always

00:45:47 make the right.

00:45:47 Obviously the right decision is not being with this girl.

00:45:50 You just need to be, you know, every single situation is unique and you just need to

00:45:55 be intellectually honest enough and emotionally, um, aware enough to be able to just say, is

00:46:01 this simping or is this not simping?

00:46:04 Like, is this a good girl?

00:46:06 Chad, do you think it type of, type of one, if you think that's simping type of two, if

00:46:10 you think that I was, well, if she's a good girl, then, you know, maybe she made a mistake

00:46:15 or whatever, but that's a, that's a, and then like, so, so the night continues, we go to

00:46:20 another place, she's crying, she's crying.

00:46:22 No, no, no.

00:46:23 This girl sounds like a headache. 1.00

00:46:24 Yeah.

00:46:24 And it was a lot of headaches.

00:46:26 A lot, a lot, a lot of headaches.

00:46:27 This is the thing.

00:46:28 Like, so I, when I grew up, like I went, a lot of girls that I was friends with, they

00:46:33 would like cry their eyes out when they were drunk.

00:46:35 Like everything would come out and I, I don't, I don't get it.

00:46:39 Like I would never.

00:46:40 You're a fun drunk?

00:46:42 Yeah.

00:46:43 See, were those girls on birth control? 1.00

00:46:45 Probably.

00:46:45 Yeah.

00:46:46 I think birth control really, really amplifies it.

00:46:48 Yeah.

00:46:49 That's interesting.

00:46:50 Uh, BTRs, thanks to the 20. 0.94

00:46:51 To understand everything about toxic or just masculinity, everything you need to watch is

00:46:54 actually Tate's solo interviews on Fresh and Fit.

00:46:57 Yeah, I agree.

00:46:57 Those are very good.

00:46:58 Uh, two, you just made a mistake.

00:47:00 Yeah.

00:47:00 But see, here's the thing.

00:47:01 I broke up.

00:47:02 I'm like, I'm not going to tolerate this, but then I got back and basically you're saying

00:47:06 like, this is allowed, you know?

00:47:09 Like it depends.

00:47:10 It's, everything is like about the situation.

00:47:12 Everything's about the situation.

00:47:13 I heard Tristan say, and this was actually really interesting.

00:47:17 If you and a girl break up, say she breaks up with you or whatever, a couple months pass

00:47:21 and she wants to get back with you.

00:47:23 Like, how do you know whether it's, if it's simply to get back or not?

00:47:26 And Tristan said, if she slept with somebody else in, in that breakup time, then it's a

00:47:31 no.

00:47:31 And I really, I really respect that response.

00:47:35 Well, how do you know if she's telling the truth or not?

00:47:38 I don't know.

00:47:39 You just have to know.

00:47:40 You should know, you should know, you should be with somebody who you know when she's lying

00:47:44 and when she's not lying.

00:47:45 You should be able to tell.

00:47:47 Yeah.

00:47:47 Like for me personally, like I, I, I'm not someone that would lie in like in a relationship.

00:47:52 It's like, I, I, we need to be like honest and on the same page.

00:47:55 So I'm not going to lie to you.

00:47:56 Yeah.

00:47:57 But after the breakup, like it's something you're not, you're not going to be a hundred

00:47:59 percent.

00:48:00 I don't, no, no, no.

00:48:01 Women are not honest about with their horror nature. 1.00

00:48:03 No, I wouldn't lie.

00:48:05 I wouldn't want a guy to be with me based on a lie.

00:48:07 Like if I jet, like, yeah, I would, I don't know.

00:48:13 Basically, I've been in a scenario.

00:48:15 You need to go undercover to get that information.

00:48:17 You go undercover well.

00:48:19 You go undercover well.

00:48:20 You told me.

00:48:20 Yeah.

00:48:21 You have to be like, you have to get it out of her.

00:48:23 Like come in like one of the girlfriends.

00:48:24 So what'd you do?

00:48:25 Like, not just be honest.

00:48:26 Like, it's just a joke.

00:48:27 Like, you know, we broke up. 1.00

00:48:28 Like, would you, how many dicks you suck? 1.00

00:48:30 You know, like just, nah, it's just whatever. 1.00

00:48:32 Just tell me like, just like, what's the craziest thing?

00:48:34 No, no, no, I don't care.

00:48:36 Like, I just want to know. 1.00

00:48:36 And then you figure out, you're like, oh, shit. 1.00

00:48:39 That's really smart. 1.00

00:48:40 You fucking. 1.00

00:48:41 Boom, fucker. 1.00

00:48:41 You fucking. 1.00

00:48:42 That is so smart. 1.00

00:48:44 But then it really fucks up the, see, this is the problem.

00:48:46 Because if you hear what you, if you hear the truth, the image of a girl in a relationship, 0.95

00:48:52 if that ever goes sour, then it's over.

00:48:56 Like, she needs to be completely pure in your mind in order for the relationship to work.

00:49:00 But then like, if she's not being, if she's genuinely not being with anyone in between in that breakup,

00:49:04 then like, get back together.

00:49:09 Yeah.

00:49:09 If she's a good girl.

00:49:11 Not if she's getting drunk, causing you problems, hitting you in public.

00:49:14 Oh my God.

00:49:15 That goes without saying.

00:49:17 Yeah.

00:49:18 You need a woman with emotional intelligence. 0.56

00:49:21 Who knows who's, who's being raised, who's being raised well.

00:49:23 Like, this hitting thing is so bizarre to me.

00:49:27 Yeah.

00:49:28 Thank you for the hundred captive fantasy.

00:49:30 This one's for Leia. 0.98

00:49:31 No sim shit, just respect. 0.97

00:49:33 And everyone, keep top gen your prayers. 0.99

00:49:34 He's a true hero.

00:49:35 And if he's ever going to need us in this world's a time, follow Nick J. Fuentes America first.

00:49:39 Welcome back.

00:49:39 Nick Fuentes is freed on Twitter.

00:49:41 Oh, no way.

00:49:42 Yeah.

00:49:43 As another little example here, take Kevin from Ghostbusters 2016.

00:49:48 Now, his character is a counterpart to Janine in the original movie.

00:49:51 The difference, though, is that Janine was always portrayed as smart, efficient and good 0.99

00:49:55 at her job.

00:49:56 The comedy in her case mostly stemmed from her exasperation at the others, either because

00:50:00 she hadn't been paid or because she was wildly overworked. 0.99

00:50:03 Yeah, she was sassy and abrasive with people, but one thing she wasn't was dumb. 1.00

00:50:08 Kevin, on the other hand, isn't just stupid. 1.00

00:50:10 He's ridiculously, obscenely stupid to the point where you could probably make a genuine 1.00

00:50:14 argument that his character had moderate to severe learning difficulties. 1.00

00:50:18 I feel like you're mocking the afflicted here, Paul.

00:50:20 The intended humour here was to contrast his physical attractiveness with his complete 0.77

00:50:24 lack of brains and common sense, in effect making him a male bimbo, surely one of the 1.00

00:50:29 most tired of all movie cliches. 0.93

00:50:31 But again, it's apparently fine to portray men this way because as we all know, men are 1.00

00:50:36 dumb and that's funny. 0.99

00:50:37 They certainly don't have anything to teach other characters, even if they're far older 0.99

00:50:41 and more experienced than them.

00:50:42 Taking the Luke Skywalker example from earlier, consider how not only does he have no wisdom

00:50:47 or lessons of value to impart to Rey despite his decades of experience with the Force, the

00:50:52 dangers of the dark side and the possibility of redemption, but he actually learns things

00:50:57 from her instead.

00:50:58 Because one of the other annoying tropes of modern cinema is that you can't have male

00:51:02 mentors teaching women anything of value. 0.96

00:51:04 And I think this problem was best articulated by Kevin Feige when he was asked why Doctor

00:51:09 Strange never made an appearance in the TV show WandaVision, when it absolutely would

00:51:13 have made sense for the MCU's best magic user to take part in a show that was specifically

00:51:17 about magic.

00:51:19 Quote,

00:51:19 And that right there is the real reason why they didn't want him in the show, because

00:51:36 they couldn't stand the idea of a male character teaching a woman anything of value because

00:51:40 it would violate the rules of modern writing which have apparently decided that men are 0.99

00:51:44 dumb, they don't know anything of value and they have nothing to teach anyone. 0.96

00:51:48 And trust me, once you realise that's the thinking behind so much of modern movie making, 0.99

00:51:53 well, you're never going to be able to unsee it.

00:51:56 Now the thing is, I'm not saying for one second that every male character now has to

00:52:00 be some domineering, super confident alpha male who eats raw meat and destroys everyone

00:52:05 around him just by looking at them.

00:52:07 That kind of crushing conformity would be just as tedious and artistically limiting as the

00:52:11 strong female character trope that Emily Blunt recently spoke out about.

00:52:15 And don't worry, I'm going to address that one in due course, believe that.

00:52:19 What did she say?

00:52:20 I don't know, I haven't seen it.

00:52:21 The Emily Blunt thing?

00:52:22 I used to have a crush on her.

00:52:23 But what I am saying is that it would be nice to see-

00:52:25 What, you don't like her?

00:52:26 Emily Blunt?

00:52:27 What?

00:52:27 Is she like really playing?

00:52:29 I don't know, I liked her in that Tom Cruise movie, I used to tomorrow.

00:52:32 Oh, I don't know.

00:52:33 See a bit of balance and variety for a change.

00:52:36 Instead of Hollywood trying to push the unhealthy message that masculinity in all its forms is 0.99

00:52:40 toxic, broken and needs to change, how about showing us a range of positive male characters?

00:52:46 How about acknowledging that men actually have something to offer the world?

00:52:49 That the drive, the focus, the protectiveness, the assertiveness and the competitiveness that

00:52:54 comes so naturally to them can be a force for good instead of some destructive impulse

00:52:59 that needs to be curbed and corrected. 0.57

00:53:01 Trust me, it won't kill you to acknowledge that men, just like women, can be pretty damn

00:53:05 awesome at times.

00:53:06 And who knows, your audience might just thank you for it too.

00:53:10 Anyway, that's going to do it for part one.

00:53:12 I'm going to come back and address the remaining tropes in my next video, so stay tuned for that.

00:53:17 So anyway-

00:53:18 That was amazing.

00:53:18 Really good video.

00:53:19 That was so good.

00:53:20 1.2- was it 1.2 million views?

00:53:23 Amazing.

00:53:23 In 11 days for- shout out to the critical drinker.

00:53:26 That was a really good video.

00:53:28 Thank you for- yeah, I did a good job picking that.

00:53:30 That was perfect for-

00:53:31 Yeah, that was really good.

00:53:32 Okay.

00:53:37 That's it.
