And there is it
In black and fucking white
Trump said to a 13 year old girl "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."
He started this war to bury his past, to bury his fucking pedophilia
Trump needs to be ripped out of office and thrown into jail
Now.
The problem isn’t about playing as a woman at all. It’s that God of War has always been about Kratos. The entire franchise was built to be peak masculine. It’s made to cater to men. The game is literally about a guy who wants to rip the gods apart for tricking him into killing his own wife and children. It’s about the male drive to persevere through unimaginable suffering and use it as fuel to do what’s right—at all costs. It’s about a man taking on not just the world that wants him to suffer, and die, but the entire system, spiritual and otherwise. This franchise inherently speaks to the soul of men and resonates, in a huge way, with the struggles men actually face (in an exaggerated, fictional form of course. It’s a game)
We’re in an increasing culture that keeps flirting with the idea, or just outright replacing male-led games and movies with women instead of creating original stories with strong female leads. Games are pretty much the one safe haven most men have left—to feel seen, to escape, or at the very least have their frustration understood. Given the current climate, it’s obvious why some guys have a knee-jerk reaction to this stuff
Men suffer in profound ways that almost no one is willing to acknowledge. It’s so bad it’s taboo to talk about it or even imply it. People hate me for bringing it up. Anyone who can’t see why men are getting a little upset and more sensitive about this is being completely insensitive and ignorant to reality—borderline, or just straight up gaslighting and shaming men for having the audacity to express themselves even a tiny bit. It’s like pushing people 99% of the way to their breaking point, then going for that last 1%. And when men speak up, the response is just “Oh stop being a baby,” “boohoo, poor baby man thinks he has it hard.” Completely ignoring the reality… It’s nasty, disgusting behavior
There are franchises with strong female leads that tons of men absolutely adore, that have also played a huge part in their critical acclaim—Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Hellblade, The Last of Us, Control, Nier: Automata, to name a few
Most people don’t want a female Jack Sparrow or a female 007, and if you think that simply and strictly boils down to "misogyny", you need to check yourself. The vast majority of people are not opposed to incredible female characters with amazing stories and arcs and you can't strong-arm, grandstand and virtue signal them into submission over what's often quite frankly, bullshit. Most men love strong female leads when it actually makes sense. People just want good, original writing—and yeah, they also want strong female leads, and for women to feel seen too in their own franchises, or franchises that work. Look at Resident Evil as a GREAT EXAMPLE 🫳🎤
On Inauguration Day, Donald Trump said, “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but by the wars we end — and perhaps more importantly, by the wars we never get into. My legacy will be as a peacemaker.” Today, he bombed Iran, called for regime change, and said US casualties are possible but worth it.
discord’s age verification vendor Persona just got hacked.
openAI + US government + persona have been running identity surveillance since nov 2023
anyone who verified age on discord is now traceable.
nothing is private anymore.

@JohnCornyn You can’t make this up
You want to require citizens to show IDs to exercise basic constitutional rights.
Meanwhile, you are actively fighting against requiring ID to for cops to take those rights away. 🤡🤡
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
