"New Poll Reveals What People Truly Care About" Michael Knowles video (comment reply)

For conservative men, one of the top things they value is having children.

A commentor reasonably retorted with this:

“To be fair, it’s not the men who have the children. Women have the children. They get pregnant, they carry, they give birth, and they hope the men stick around through it all.”

https://youtu.be/2gRJ-47TNro?feature=shared

That first sentence is more than a fair point, but with a flaw.

Of course, conservative men want kids more likely, they aren’t going to be giving their bodies to deliver the baby, true true. Agreed.

• If they did, they’d probably want it less, but if they did, women would be obsolete to the species as the natural threshold of life, so women really should stop taking their primary biological stake for granted.

There’s plenty in civilization that women aren’t carrying their weight’s worth of, namely dangerous jobs, despite females being the majority of humanity.

*Women have children, men have the seed that makes women’s role in the reproductive process even possible ONTOP of men having civilization itself on lock.*

NOBODY is bringing that up while we’re having the “they give birth” talking point as if it’s rocket science or she has to code the child’s genetic makeup molecule by molecule to form it’s organs, which is active effort.

The pregnancy process is literally a passive, automatic sequence up until delivery. No qualifications, no skill, any NPC with the female build & fertile capacity can do it.

But not just anyone can build the Golden Gate bridge, that’s the difference. That’s actual work. 

NO ONE is tryna have that conversation tho.

The only reason why pregnancy’s messy, taxing simplicity is exacerbated, is because the process is a brutal, chemical hellscape and the final phase is ungodly painful. And yet, I’m not congratulating anyone for a participation toll.

I’d sooner praise good parenting which is actual work and effort because it’s ACTIVE and not passive. 

Over a painful consequence attached to a process you didn’t do for society anyway (which is the caveat to Knowles “self” point, have kids, don’t have them — people do either due to ego. Can’t escape it.) 

So why should I thank, revere, let alone deify women, when the real work (raising a useful member) isn’t even done yet, if it ever gets done?  

No one is tryna have that conversation, ever.

So no, Its not men carrying children, instead they’re carrying the civilization children & women use. 

And women use it without a second thought as to how it’s maintained in the backrooms they don’t care to be a part of, or the underground, or WHO is doing the high-end labors (building cities, bridges, power plants, power grids, maintaining sewer system).

Women have that privilege to not even worry about any of this, not carry their weight, walk into buildings women didn’t build to go online to chirp about what men aren’t doing, while men are indeed dying on the jobs, but women still get to have an opinion about it, as they should. 

You don’t need to do the thing, to be able to talk about it — 

So It’s only fair men get the same consideration regarding having children. 

Doesn’t mean men are entitled of women’s birthing powers, but merely the consideration, given how much men carry of civilization themselves; and no one seems to care and yet expect everything to work properly anyway.

Second & most important, Women wouldn’t have to “hope” for men to stick around if the women that raised THOSE men (since single moms are so rampant now), chose better men in the first place & or raised better men that stuck around for other women.*

Why do women grant low quality men heirs anyway, and then can’t manage to raise a better man than the one that abandoned them. 

Because who better to groom good men for women than women? 

So if women have to “hope” now, then women are failing women, all because her body, her bad choices, her fault. 

Her choices make other women pay for it. Thats the price of bad choice.

All in all, agreed & yet a little off the mark. 

Julie Winters is underrated (The Maxx *recommended reads*)

 

The Maxx, Watched the mini a few times.

I eventually read the story, some bits of the ending wasn't that well executed- the writer went to some very very weird places (not weird as in *I just didn't like it*, weird as in complicating the narrative bro was going for in the first place = unnecessarily convoluted ).

But the main issue is it was rushed.

The cartoon & first half of the story definitely holds up, like everything before #21 was/is tight.

The story after the fact is still decent but it just felt off. Like the direction/cadence, how quick things were wrapped up took a nosedive.

Just after a certain point things just took off and never came back to lead the viewers along in a more proper fashion, like the first 60% of the story.

Julie is one of my favorite mc's because of how messed up she is, she seems like this idealized, risqué hottie (the image of her *in the pink top & jeans* most of the internet knows about) but she's really got junk in the trunk. Serious baggage, not a nut case, but almost too real a person sometimes.

Because she's even hypocrite to an extent.

And how messed up she always was, later we find out in the story. She's definitely not your squeaky clean feminist, holier than thou female character with a message to preach, she's as flawed as they come, with a bizarre intimate detail of some repressed trauma, insecurities (again) later on even after the show is concerned.

(There's an implication that she's bi as well, and again, the show doesn't include that because that's laaaater on.



And again, all this showed up way later. If The Maxx was a 2020 release, her possibly being bi would be crammed in #1 as if that matters to her overall arc.)

if she was written these days, her being Bi would be branded on her forehead, because that's how many youths are groomed to think that's what their existence boils down to.

And again, it's implication because there's a character that's not Julie...but obviously is Julie.

The fact that her adolescent "sexual curiosity" on the queer spectrum is not a defining trait of her existence but simply one of many facets of her identity (which is what it is), good execution on that front.

So being a central focal point, that's why she works, she's fucked up, she's human.

Sara is difficult, the story gave her more to do to a point, but again the execution was weird, she was set up to be a major piece, then things just lost it's own plot. Especially towards the end, and I really liked her given how she was introduced very clean as an NPC then gradually came forefront. It read like OP rushed the narrative in the final stretch.

Reminds me of My Hero. Time constraints, exhaustion, boredom, idfk but the tone in the first half was solid (Like My Hero, but My Hero was significantly worse, the whole thing was garbage but in COMPARISON the first half was better), but gradually towards the end, the pacing and writing performance just felt off more and more until it just got clunky.

The Maxx, still a good read, a good subversion, a good deconstruction of characters and the “superhero”, still coherent in the last bit, but messy. Eccentric as a whole for the most part.

Thanos vs Everyone Battle Scene - Avengers: Infinity War | Reaction Mashup

13:10 the two homies on 2nd to the left bottom can't believe their eyes that they're watching a MCU movie with anime drip. And it's funny how he mentioned anime prior, cause thats what this scene is tapping into or to be fair, it's tapping into raw comics. Anime & get a lot of credit for action chops but Comic books have been cosmic epics on a level beyond a lot of mangaka BEFORE Manga caught up. So here, it's better than most anime in general because it's not halted by exposition, dumb gags, flashbacks, *Nani's, shouting out moves, or mangaka foolishness. _When you remove the politics, The West be cooking, but only when it's allowed to, the right director, vision, choreographers, writers, etc. it's why a lot of the better Anime titles are western inspired in the first place, even when we don't realize it._ Infinity War is one of those gems, in modern day no less. Pure uncut exchange between two masters on a devastated moon, during a meteor shower, cosmic stakes in the balance. THEN we get another one with Tony vs Thanos. People overlook the fact that this event even happened in their lifetime in a live action film, live action. I still can't believe IW happened. Infinity War was/is a crowned jewel, the saga itself (while not perfect, it's competent) very unlikely to be topped any time soon, just as I suspected way back when. Major events going forward got serious work to do.

Is Youtube Suppressing Your Content ? (Feat. R/NewTubers)

facts, what is the the point of that, or the purpose of suppressing views that will benefit youtube anyway. It's pure spite & gatekeeping who gets to succeed, it's about control. pure spite.

if there's billions of people on youtube in traffic, yer telling me no one wanted to see this person or that persosn video?

Or in reality, they get no views because no one can see the videos in the first place. It's scummy. Thats not how you run any business.

That's like selling food and what could've been your best dish on the menu you're hiding from people in the kitchen closet so they don't see it.

WHY rob yourself of more success by suppressing what could be the next trendsetter or a new gen of content creation or a revival of why people liked YT in the firstplace.

Youtube lost it's own plot and became cable television anyway.

My Smiles Academia "You're Next" is just reskinned Hassaikai raid

• • victimized female character blob with broken quirk booster power
  • main bad guy who's some sort of exile, usurper or rogue of a crime family, with shit motivations
  • Main bad guy with godtier power loses anyway (pretty much MHA as a whole)
  • Ends with a fuckin body-horror esque kaiju form as a final boss.
  • Deku blitzes the SHIT, and I mean- knocks the soul out of the dude, and somehow he's not turned into liquid flesh
  • Deku chances across the girl by sheer freaking coincidence- just like he did Eri, just like he did Gentle, just like he did All Might which started his entire career. Bro just fumbles into everything. Deku birth quirk is "Lucky Star"

  Part of the issue with Deku is he has no repeat villain rivals with personal nemesis ties to him, ie. the heroes win too damn much. I'm not saying (obviously) U.A. should've been flattened but at what point does being able to control matter itself at will, become an actual threat?

  At what point does being a 100+ year old sociopath villain with multiple quirks become a life threatening force to the point where someone gets killed. (Laughs in Jiro)

  This movie was almost entirely predictable, it begins pretty promising with Deku's more comfortable use of OFA, the mystery of Dark Might.

  But it's just a fusion of World Mission & Season 4.

  Plot armor out the ass, same ol shit, villains catch no bodies, there's set up for fake tension with Dark Mights palace charging towards the school, but no stakes but there's no chance the villains will win and we know that.

  And thus no threat level or presence here for the baddies. Saturday morning cartoon level shit.

  The movie should've been a Vigilante Deku filler movie, showing us exactly what Deku was doing the entire time. Exploring him ACTUALLY discovering and training with the other quirks. And him facing the underbelly of Japan.

  

  I'll give it this much, the animation team went off the rails, like holy shit they snapped on this movie, which isn't a statement for the movie being good but the animation team did their job.

  And I didn't think the animation could go harder after the 2nd film.

  Shame too, I was more excited for this than Superman 25', & that's coming from ME, My Hero was prioritized over a SUPERMAN movie for me. That's the whack part.

  I waited for MONTHS, a year+ to MONTHS To watch this movie, and knowing the kind of writing My Hero does, I intentionally had low expectations just so I could enjoy this and even with that in place, this was a chore to get through, just like Superman 2025.

  For both movies, by the end, I was exhausted. And verbally said something along the lines of "Finally", "Glad that shit's over" or simply-- "Never again"

  For this, it was mainly because of how boring Deku is. He gets cooler with the powers but he's the same little angel.

  By the 51-57 min mark, Deku's self-righteous sermon session scene, Is when I was beyond done.

  I was so checked out, severely disappointed.

  Heroes Rising (aka prototype "Final War arc") is still the best of the 4, and after watching that recently, even that had more problems than expected that I thought I remembered. 

  Even the ending was insane, the one consequence that happened to Anna, even that was undone, I shit you not. Truly nothing matters, everything is just honky dory.

  • And it wouldn't be an issue, if the story didn't take itself so damn seriously as if there were any stakes lmfao. 

  A world of super powered people, some of them damn near demi-gods but everything just almost always works out.

  Stakes are a joke in this universe, it's insane. Out of all of the movies, the 4th has the most dry, uninspired plot, it drags horribly even before the half-way mark.

  

  51 minutes is not even halfway through the movie, part of the problem is it's too damn long, not enough going on, the people the story centers around are not interesting & if it's not that much longer than the others, the boring ass plot makes it sandbag.

  Great gifs in this movie, the best part about it is what it could've been, which is My Hero's legacy in a nutshell.

  Just  watch Heroes rising (MHA movie 2) or World Heroes Mission.

  3rd movie is not much better either & the first once should've been about Young Might becoming All Might (obviously). Dark Might is more entertaining than Flect but Anna as a plot device is just insulting, she has no presence, she's literally treated like an object.

  Most basic design, basic personality (not much of a personality either), she's stale toast.

  This movie trying not to be Season 4 while clearly copying Hassaikai raid.

  The trailers were the first red flag for me, and I still was rooting for this movie.

  But afterwards? Too repetitive. Deku doesn't achieve anything, things just happen to him or around him and he reacts.

  

  Not proactive enough, the villains are proactive, they take initiative, they have grounded motivations, almost want them to win, even if just a little bit.

  The first & last 15 minutes was the best parts.

The Psychology Behind Women’s Choice in Men - (she doent deserve traits out of anyone that SHE doesn't possess herself.)

 https://youtu.be/b5LfY0cvVAo?feature=shared

"assertive but not hostile" "protective but not possessive" "strong but not aggressive"

So they want an emotionally competent person, but that's not all they want. And more importantly: *"You don't deserve traits out of anyone that you don't possess yourself. "* The video is semi- decent, we're missing links or AT LEAST citations of the names of these studies in the video at least. Put them in the end of the video or just put it in description (so you can edit & avoid typo mistakes in the video). All this is is telling men what they need to do to perform for women yet again. Essentially change men should themselves if they don't subscribe to that. And as usual, we're NEVER told what the grocery list for women to perform for men, what they bring to the table, how they need to change to men.

A child is another obligation, its not a favor, not a contribution, nor an advantage. Its a possible advantage but just having a child is not a slamdunk on life, you have to raise it to be a utility, vs being a future burden to society. So childbirth itself is not bringing something to the table, it's a consequence of sex. Because without him shes not birthing anything, and hes going to have to support the child too. As he should.

The issue is the female perspective is all men are subjected to, and many men are rightfully sick of hearing "why" or the psychology of why women do what they do and not why don't women do better or what they're doing to be worthy of their own standards.

*Thats what this video is, its explaining to us that women want evolutionary advantages (fine) in men that many of them/ they themselves DO NOT POSSESS (not fine).* The problem is women want whats out of their league while their hands are empty and the ONLY reason why it's out of their league is because their hands are empty & they don't match half of what they expect in the first place.

That's the funny part.

Because they never think "Let me match the energy. What can I do better, am I strong but not aggressive, am I hostile?"

Women want performance and do not perform preemptively, this is why women go home alone on Friday nights if a man doesn't just give her his attention for absolutely nothing.

That is how women render themselves obsolete. Childbirth will always guarantee women remain relevant, but women being obsolete is happening & it's women's fault but it's also an opportunity. How so? Well thanks to feminism, women are in a pivotal situation where they have to perform and actually bring something to the table or sink, they have an opportunity to raise the bar of what a "Real woman" is for their girls going forward.

Men walking away is a good thing, because women have the ability to do something to bring men back, which is leverage, that's power. The problem is women are programmed by society to be lazy.

We're not in the 40s anymore where women's lack of societal autonomy warranted the special treatment, back when gender roles weren't twisted and mutilated. Being a burden, who wants assertion but only the kind she likes, or he has to look like this, and act like this, drive that, assert like this but not too aggressive, have this much, do this and that with a sprinkle of that over there and a hint & dash of this and this and this and this. What makes women worthy of any of that? Are they a nice person to be with a nice person?

Is she great enough to be with the best man.

Being a high maintenance burden is not attractive and being a liability is not a evolutionary advantage worthy of procreation. Now THAT needs to be a video, we need to stop coding girls to believe being a burden is something men want to procreate with.

"assertive but not hostile" "protective but not possessive"

"strong but not aggressive"

'Consistently providing for the group'

Is just an emotionally competent person, a useful human being, but again, is she any of that? And if not, why not. What makes her entitled to someone who is effectively better than her as a citizen?

*"If women don't match what they expect, they deserve no match. Male or female, you don't deserve traits out of anyone that you don't possess yourself."* #AsSheShould Thats the price of modernity, that's the price of challenging gender roles, now we question everything = women have to carry their weight. You dont get to sit back, make demands, & think "emotional intelligence" or companionship is a contribution & get carried.

Match exactly what you want or reevaulate what it is you think you want. There's a difference between 'What women want' and 'what they respond to', not my words, 4 others & more have noted that distinction in the comments, and they are right. (An Ok video that's just trying to steer men right, I appreciate OP's intentions. Next time add sources, and include the charges of what tangible resources women should bring to the table and the evolutionary advantages women possess that men should want. Not everything is about what women want this week. And thats all we hear about, as if womens wombs cure cancer) (We need more nuances, this kind of video is too 2013, we need more, we need both sides. Given its psychology, what men want isn't a deep topic. So go the extra mile next time. I'd be glad to watch an extra 10 minutes that isnt telling me what men hear everywhere else- "Women want this because they want it because instinct/ evolution", so sick of hearing that excuse and not hear what men get in return on the investment.No one tryna have that conversation.)

Shin Godzilla (i̶s̶/ was female) (2021)

Watching the movie, & after noticing some details-

I believe Shin Godzilla was originally a female creature, Goro merging his DNA with hers, in combination with the radioactive waste- made it unisex. 

In spite of the form of address in the movie being “he/his”, so even as it’s a he/it now, my point is it began as female before Goro did what he did.

That explains why the 5th-6th forms were drawn to take an explicitly feminine form in spite of the ONLY human DNA sample it consumed was male to begin with. 

Side note: The expression on Humanoid Gojira is more relaxed, peaceful; Not being a threat by choice, given time, it could’ve been able to communicate to an extent with humanity or simply leave altogether for it’s own haven elsewhere.

Alas, it's inner monologue via WHO WILL KNOW is of a female & male voice, and most of the main verses are sung by a woman. (Reach, but an interesting note) 

Goro is male:

And it is believed by some /including me that the “Who Will Know” ensemble was intentionally mixed gender to establish Gojira as unisex. (Which that context, not so much of a reach, but an unintentional addition to the lore)

So, where does the female persuasion come from? Godzilla is unisex/ male-ish now, but it's pre-mutation form, fish form, it was female, is my take. Logically.

Goro was not a female, the only other possibility of female DNA to derive is the fish form prelude to Gojira.

Now i almost debunked myself: “Nah, it/she was an asexually reproductive fish. Agender. Boom. Next-“

However-

Being the last of her race, she couldn’t have been asexually capable of procreating at the time, before.

Why? Well, simply put, if she was, why aren’t there multiple Godzilla’s? She was the ONLY one of her species to eat the waste?

• Unless, she’s a stray/rogue member. Which is unlikely, in that entire bay, only one of her kind managed to get to all that waste? Only her??? unlikely.
• The average fish would corrode & die, from the radiation, she’s of a race that is long extinct or not discovered yet. She’s the only one to feed & change because “she” is the only one left.

And the cloning ability makes for a bizarre form of giving “birth”. 

And seeing “she” has male DNA, while very miniscule in sample, the “children” would then take the form of both their genetic parents; Goro & Gojira. 

Inter-species reproduction, 2 of different sexes, literally “intercourse’d” as one, breeding new life; From the first new species, Godzilla itself.

And if it weren’t for the Yashiori Plan (Goro’s direct assistance after his death), their spawn would’ve ravaged Japan if not the Planet. So there’s that.

• Weird, yes.  
• But story wise, Stephen King levels of horrifically brilliant.
• Makes you look at the movie differently, this was a dawn of a hostile takeover. ONLY because Gojira couldn’t speak out loud.

The beast was simply lost & afraid, and most likely in pain. And then it was shed blood by the bombers, then it was personal. 

From a narrative standpoint, with no mate of the same genus to confide in or procreate with, she, reasonably, was all that was left.

But as Gojira, it wasn’t a “She” anymore, but still alone. A violent violation of it’s genetics, from the waste mankind dumped in the bay. How was it supposed to know it was toxic, why would someone dump in there in the first place?

Loneliness and isolation; which is translated in the poster. Just he/her/ just It, in the void. Nothing else, nobody, that’s how it feels the entire movie.

Now mutated, she belongs to no genetic family/genus or species, truly one of a kind. Not even Goro can keep her company now, since she presumably ate him, mistaking him for marine life to feed on (though his intentions were not accidental) or she absorbed him unintentionally. 

Regardless, he’s dead, she- now It/”he”/they are truly alone.

Not intentionally trying to kill people, again the occasion it did fight back was AFTER humanity drew blood. It didn’t react to getting shot with bullets, or Japan’s ground forces bombs. 

After it was legitimately hurt; as it started to retaliate it was given a song, an inner monologue of it’s pain & thoughts. Even if the gender of the ensemble is a theory, the lyrics of the song representing Gojira’s feelings, is 100% confirmed.

As i’m watching the movie, thinking about this little theory; It’s attempt to clone itself, might’ve been it’s own way to rid itself of it’s loneliness. Massive stretch, most likely wasn’t the intention, but if i was a twisted existence, in constant pain and the only company i had were tiny organisms trying to kill me & i didn’t consciously know why; I’d clone myself too, for protection or a bizarre desire for friends or a family, even if it was I, me and myself.

And who knows, Goro might’ve been reborn in the spawn, or the spawn might’ve manifested their own will, a hivemind, etc. 

As depressing as it is, there’s either comfort in the fact that it’s/she’s at some crude form of peace, frozen in place; Or, it’s/she’s/he’s forever trapped in it’s/her/his/it’s own body, unable to move, going insane, still in pain, more than it/she/he/they was to begin with. 

Surrounded by little ones, the enemy. No more fighting or pain (Or it is?), but still in the same place it was in the beginning: Alone

Toho still got it. 

My Hero Academia tards #102: Nobody gets the ending (the core of the ending isn't the problem)

being a teacher is one of the most important roles in any infrastructure. It's why being a parent is so important. The issue isn't that, the issue is he wouldn't have achieved anything if it weren't for him just by miracle meeting Yagi who just happened to be the #1 hero who just happened to have a transferable quirk that just happened to be a compilation type that just happened to be connected to the main villain who just happened to be connected to Tomura. Deku achieved nothing before he met All Might, thus he needed a plot contrivance to get anything done on his own. That's the issue. He was given everything, and achieved nothing. Him training with the power is him making the most out of a handicap, a hand-out, a mod that no one else had. Melissa had no powers, she made it work & used her mind to contribute, so did her Father. Melissa should've been the mc. He didn't achieve his dream because he seized it, he didn't achieve it because it was not of his own ability. If he was already in U.A and was failing, then met All Might who noticed he was quirkless, that's different but AT LEAST he managed to get in the damn school on his own. No he couldn't even do the entrance exams on his own. He had his hand held the entire way. Even when he went rogue, the adults were keeping tabs on him via tracking chip in his phone. Always shadowing him, the kid couldn't DO ANYTHING on his own. Not even shower or feed himself properly. He was pathetic. He needed God to hand him the keys to success in the beginning and apparently the end as well seeing how Yagi (the one who's always handing him free shit) gives him basically a super exo-skeleton. Which is probably what should've went down in the first place back in 2014 The teacher bit is least of the problems, way to miss the point which is Horikoshi missed/& defeated his own point. Deku doesn't vigilante by night and a teacher by day, but yet again handed more power. Deku is a spoiled man-child. He has zero drive, he was too passive. Too damn NPC to be the main character. He doesn't do shit unless he's activated by a quest prompt.
