    It's more the entertainment industry trash rags that use this cadence. Other women focused outlets do it. Click bait wording. It's a product. The political sphere you mention doesn't. They have a different demo.

    Sure, that's partially true, but as recently as 5 years ago, I could still tell what articles in an entertainment industry trash rag were written by men without reading the byline. What changed in that time?

    And I haven't read any standard political publications, right-wing or left-wing, for the past few years, but I'm familiar with BreadTube. And actually...they're guilty of the very same! Quite often, the men's delivery and verbiage will be highly effiminate. And then, as if to confirm that I'm not simply insane, this highly effiminate but self-professed straight man will eventually come out as trans.

    Great example is Philosophy Tube, especially since so many leftists a few years ago praised him/her as a strong example of masculinity, how to be a proper man in Current Year, and how straight white men are very much an accepted part of their movement.

    As he put it, he's always felt trans even while living as a man. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that he'd know how to fake a "manly" affectation, we only have centuries of words and video showing exactly what a "real man" is like. If she wants to live fully as a woman now, good for her. I still reserve the right to know who I'm bringing home.

    You're missing my point in bringing up PhilosophyTube. I always felt he was very effeminate, even when his fans claimed he was really masculine and macho. Just like I think the writing in those two articles was effeminate.

    The fact that he ended up transitioning proves that I'm not simply insane and imagining things. It's a sanity check.

    So you're calling PhilosophyTube a liar, and rejecting her desire to live as a woman?

    No, I'm saying your being right in this case doesn't mean you're not crazy. Whoosh.

    People with basic reading comprehension skills understood that the "sanity check" was about the specific point of writing/speaking coming across as feminine. Whoosh indeed. And if you're going to make an off-topic insult, go for something less predictable and lame next time.

    It's one of those rare cases where the trailer was made that much better by the song choice.

    I have seen every MCU movie to date, most in theaters. Am I the only person that feels Scarlett Johansson is the most overrated MCU main actor? I have zero interest in the Black Widow movie because of her.

    Well, when I watch a hype video for a bunch of shitty blockbusters produced by one of the largest multi-national corporations in the world, I prefer them dancing on the corpse of a senile man that same corporation ruthlessly abused, insulted, defamed, and used as a puppet during his horrific last few years on the planet.



    Yeah! Who's excited for some $15 tickets to watch flashing, meaningless CGI to distract from the rot of modern life?!
