From A&N:
Article about white men being allegedly discriminated from academia, media and etc/
I like how men's response to this is them basically demanding DEI for (mediocre) white men or saying how white men should sue for discrimination.
Weren't these the same men that were clapping like seals when that really stupid "The Great Feminization" article hit a while ago that talked about how women suing for discrimination is a feminine tactic along with other very retarded talking points such as how it's unfair that women are allowed to sue male dominated work places for being ran like frat houses while men aren't allowed to sue female workplaces for being ran like "kindergartens"? Which is frankly a very retarded comparison because only one of these facilities the author compares is ran by a group of depraved bisexual men obsessed with homoerotic hazing rituals that are one step close to recreating Abu Gharib (That whole article is a dogshit essay full of contradictions lol, but that's the topic for another day)
Peak XY moment, call a tactic that you're supposedly against as "feminine" but when used by men suddenly gets lionized and encouraged to use.
That’s the difference between women giving feedback and men in video games. You have women making men handsome facially and fit in the body, but nothing out of proportion, but when men give their “feedback” on women’s designs, them being attractive isn’t enough, they will give them literally inflated proportions and ridiculous jiggle physics.
In conclusion: Women aren’t making men full on shirtless and giving men muscle and dick physics when beating up bad guys. And that is why women can have an opinion on character designs while men should be the minority say unless they keep their goonery in check. The end.
I think the seethe towards male character such as Leon comes from the fact that gaymer men tend to have a habit of projecting their own ideal male body standards onto women which is the 6ft chilseled large guy you'd see in Warhammer or Gears of War while insisting very hard that's what women like and want, while ignoring actual opinions from women about what they find desireable in men, only for their shit to get rocked when to the surprise of nobody the claim that they were so proudly stubborn about it gets proven wrong when they see women fawn over somebody like Leon or Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. I think the reason why they're so insistent on projecting their own ideals of a man on women is because it allows them to admire and fawn over the men that fit their quota vicariously through women, because when they're left at their own devices their worships over steps to that of a homoerotic one.
Another factor that plays a lot in why men hold such vitriol towards these characters I mentioned is that most (not all) male characters that became popular with women/female audience are very campy and flamboyant male characters that that tend to be in touch with their more "non-masculine' side such as displaying emotions and vulnerability more openly, because they view these things as "faggy" and "feminine" because similarly how they gaslit themselves into projecting their own body ideals on what women like in men, they try to insist women want to be with a bullheaded crass meathead fratbros that puts them down because this would justify them not having to change themselves at all personality wise, which is why they tend to resort to "If women don't like mean men, then how come they like a fictional male character thats mean to them??? Checkmate" while purposefully ignoring the fact that the character is
fictional which lets women engage safely with this fantasy.
The vitriol that men have towards characters like Leon reminds me of how during 2000s-2010s men would have this vitriolic hatred towards non-masculine men such as emo/scene guys and the flamboyant theatre types because much like the gaymer men they really tried insisting upon this idea that women and teenage girls were into shockjock misogynists that would treat them like shit, only to be shocked that women actually like someone that's not emotionally stunted and cruel like that. A good example of what I am talking about is how many men were straight up vitriolic towards Justin Bieber during his Baby era.
It's quite telling how for female lolcows such as Chantal and Jesse their ideal partner is 6ft adult man, meanwhile for most male lolcows it's a barely legal teenage girl or sometimes straight up a female child. But yet, only one of these things gets the same amount of scrutony.
Obviously there are excepts to this such as that Annaconda chick and Agr Vonda or what's her name, but my point still stands.
I'd really like to know where the idea that false accusations ruin lives comes from because I can't think of a single case of the top of my head where a man was falsely accused and it led to absolute ruin.
Even when they get charged for rape/abuse they still get away with it.

I think something worth noting about the whole false accusation discourse with men is how they can only perceive the idea
of false accusations when it happens to men, meanwhile they treat actual cases of false accusations where it costed people lives
as kind of "a feature, not a bug deal"/"Oh yeah that happened but there's no correlation" such as the many witch trials that just
so-happened to target women (and which are still happening to this day in places like Southeast Asia and Africa).
