Text of the Le Epic X tweet:
Let me see if it makes any more sense to people this way…
Masculinity creates stuff. Chopping wood, building homes, drilling for oil, farming food… that’s all masculine behavior.
Femininity consumes stuff and transforms it. Homemaking, childbirth, decoration, nurturing… that’s all feminine behavior.
The masculine CREATES. the feminine CONSUMES.
In order for the feminine to thrive, it needs the masculine to go GET and MAKE all the STUFF.
In order for the masculine to thrive, it needs to have the power to decide who GETS the stuff. In other words, it needs power over the feminine.
If I, as a man, go work hard and chop wood and build a home, I expect to live in it. I can invite others to live in it if I so choose, or kick them out. I can sell it. I can burn it down if I want. It’s my home. I built it.
If I choose a woman to live in that home with me, it will be because she gives me something in return (brings something to the table). Typically, I expect her to maintain the home while I work, have my children, and raise them.
Because I created the STUFF, I have the power to decide who GETS the stuff.
We live in a time when the feminine has power over the masculine, which is why everything is disgusting and evil now.
Imagine building a home from scratch, and then the government tells you you’re not allowed to live in it because someone else needs it more than you.
Wait a minute. Who SAYS they need it more than me? I didn’t agree their needs were more important than mine.
“Oh, we all got together and voted! There are more of us than you, so what we value is important, and what you value isn’t. Vacate the house you built or we’ll have you murdered.”
If that happened to you, would you build another house? Of course not. You’d join the masses and vote yourself a free one. Then some OTHER sucker would build a house, and you’d kick HIM out of it. Then HE would stop building houses.
If this goes on forever, eventually, consumption outpaces production. Then there are not enough houses. Then not enough food. Then people start killing each other for scraps and eating their own kids.
That’s why I hate leftism so much. It’s just feminine dominance codified into law. The more we allow this to happen, the more we will keep taking stuff away from the people who made it, and the more they will quit making it.
Redistribution of value (any time your government forces you to give to someone that you wouldn’t give to yourself) puts the feminine in charge of the masculine, which always results in decay and tragedy.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE
I’m very sure this is the right direction to go now because of how people are responding to it. All of the criticisms so far can be summarized as “that went over my head and I’m not intelligent enough to realize it.”
In a proper society, people create value where they’re needed most. In that same society, women would overwhelmingly be creating value by dealing with the things that men either procure or create, like homes or food. Men farm, women cook. Men build, women clean.
Distribution can be a masculine thing when it’s in, like, a chain of CostCos or something. You’re talking about choosing where value goes in an in-group, which is nurture. Man brings home the food, woman decides who needs to eat what.
Of course, we don’t live in a proper society. Lots of valuable people don’t have any place to fit in. My closest friend is a small woman who primarily does manual labor, and it’s not a great fit for her, but she has few other options because, well, we’re in decay and people’s connections are all scarce and weak
I’m sure that friend absorbs all that divorce energy radiation like a solid block of lead.
Other than the batshit gender politics at least this person recognizes video games are just mindless consunption and not some kind of heroic journey or cultural battleground.
I wish that message was more widespread so the Soulslike toxic fans could at last shut the fuck up about strangers they will never meet maybe playing the treat wrong.
Yup anybody who treats playing a video game any differently than just watching a movie should get shoved in a locker.
That shit’s so exhausting and has discouraged me from even trying some bideo bames because the fandom was that loud and that toxic. It’s even worse when it’s expected to be online interaction.
Yea it’s a big part of why I just play 10 year old video games and remasters.
Gamers killed gaming. Them telling me not to lecture people on how to spend their money everyrime I said wait until 48 hours after a game is released to see if it’s actually what was advertised instead of pre-ordering everything with a marketing budget made me realize this ship wasn’t correcting course 5 years ago and I’ve been vindicated every day since.
In a related way, gate, about 10 years ago, put on a pretense of being sick and tired of being manipulated and screwed with by the corpos but it started, and it always was, about being the worst toxic fanboy shits imaginable and actually attacking small developers for “walking simulators” and other games that weren’t grimdark murderfucky enough (or alternatively, officially Nintendo-approved pablum).
When i finally got around to playing Dark Souls i was so pissed that it has the toxicity around that it does. Sure it’s challenging, but in way thats well designed so its actually fun. I think way more people would play and enjoy if it didn’t have that bullshit around it. Like you should feel good for overcoming a challenge in a game, but its still not anything to brag about lol. It was designed for you to beat and feel good, anyone can do that
That’s what pissed me off so much. Even the basic gameplay mechanics have a “try and try again until you learn and adapt and persevere” theme to them and I like that. But toxic shit got smeared all over, from hazing-like “haha you’re stupid because you went into the wrong door and missed the hidden item as a new player” assholery to “even the suggestion of improving accessibility or adjusting difficulty is grounds for a hate mob” cult mentality about the Only True Way To Play.
Exactly! And it’s so well designed that it feels fun to try again and again. The early parts of the game are also designed to teach you how to play by doing - without tutorials - in a way thats intuitive and fun.
However go through this and instead of appreciating the quality design that taught them how to overcome the challeges theyre presented with think - I am become gud, true gamer of games
Some of the worst of jock culture (hazing) and the worst of nerd culture (gatekeeping elitism) fused together to make contemporary and it fucking sucks.
Don’t have to worry about this playing Peggle
