It’s kinda funny we got two horrors flicks of male protagonist who rather live in personal hells and diluted themselves into thinking they have no flaws. Only to learn their lesson and die because it was too late for them while the women are left traumatized by their actions.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
this is so fucking insidious. there’s literally NO good reason to have a concealed camera connected to the internet available for general use. they will absolutely be training AI with the feedback, too. evil invention from evil people — i wish you nothing but the worst
There is a very specific female fatigue that comes from knowing exactly what is happening, explaining exactly what is happening, being told you are overreacting, and then watching exactly what is happening happen with excellent punctuality.

So let me get this straight.
A woman in her young twenties, new to Los Angeles, agrees to meet a guy after talking online under the impression he’s roughly her age. Instead, a significantly older man, looking around 35 shows up having already misrepresented himself.
She immediately notices abnormal behavior, he walks into the bar scanning the room instead of engaging with her, hyper aware of his surroundings, acting visibly strange enough that alarm bells start going off.
Then, within minutes, he pivots into telling her he manages influencers and OnlyFans girls, which in practical terms often means acting as a pimp and then he starts aggressively pressuring a young woman he barely knows to start doing sex work, move to Miami with his help, and let him grow her brand.
So from her perspective
Lied about who he was.
Showed up significantly older than expected.
Displayed bizarre hyper vigilant behavior.
Immediately introduced sexualized financial exploitation.
Began attempting to recruit an isolated young woman new to a major city.
And your conclusion is,
“HAHA WOMEN SAY THEY’RE STRONG BUT THEY CRY.”
No, dipshit.
What you just watched was a woman recognizing, in hindsight, that she had likely just encountered a predator.
Women don’t spend their lives learning situational awareness because the world is full of good hearted entrepreneurial alpha males.
They do it because men like this exist.
And after escaping a high adrenaline situation, the nervous system processes the threat afterward. It’s called a delayed stress response. Fairly basic neurobiology, though admittedly concepts above a 7th grade reading level tend to struggle in manosphere circles.
What’s genuinely fascinating is how men who spend every waking hour screaming about protecting women are almost always the first ones mocking women for correctly identifying dangerous men.
Which tells us the quiet part out loud.
You don’t actually hate women being emotional.
You hate women recognizing predatory male behavior before men like that can benefit from it.
But sure, Richard. Tell us more about female irrationality while publicly demonstrating why women have to develop situational awareness in the first place.
Outstanding work.
