(((Corporations))) have monetised arrested development and sold it back to men as identity>anime>pokemon >lego>Marvel/DC>Star wars>most gaming>etcThis shit is the ultimate goyslop. They aren't even hobbies, it's pure consumerism with purchasable "fandom". They were designed for children, not adults.It's infantilizing and neutering men, who remain in a perpetual state of child like retardation and apathy in which they are good goy consumers and mentally malleable. The male drive toward mastery, hierarchy, and building gets safely channelled into franchise consumption and online lore disputes, where it threatens nothing and produces nothing except purchases.A man once became something. He built, he provided, he mastered a craft, he made things that outlived him. Now he collects. He queues at midnight for a plastic figurine of a character he loved at nine. He argues with a ferocity his grandfather saved for things that mattered, about how his favourite capeshit superhero is the strongest or which anime waifu is the cutest.It's a fucking embarrassment. Get a grip you fucking losers.
im including gta6 in this critique
OP is below the age of 21, I promise.Growing up, nerds had no social groups or standing. All this "fandom" that sends actual nerds here into contrarian fits is just marketing from companies like Disney, because that's all they know how to do.>They were designed for children, not adults.No that's sportsball.Warhammer 40k is not for children -- it's for guys who make them.
A young man's energy has always been a dangerous thing. It raised cathedrals and burned cities. It crossed oceans and wrecked empires. Every age before ours understood that this force had to go somewhere and so every age built channels for it; craft, faith, fatherhood, war. Our age found something cheaper; the playpen. Give a man toys instead of tools, lore instead of legacy and the borrowed heroism of other men's stories in place of his own. The river never reaches the sea. It turns a plastic waterwheel in a rented room.
>>542375368>Warhammer 40k is not for children>my little plastic space marine figures aren't for children!you're lost in the sauce, brother.god help you.
>>542374894Yes. It's shit, all shit. Made by jews to distract you from what's important.
bump
>>542375595Wait, are you telling me they don't take up die casting as a hobby in support of their hobby?Fucking larpers.
>>542375595Kids destroy them and can't cough up $4,000 to replace them.It's not a kid's hobby just because it's NOT sports. Again you, you dodged making the spam comparison with sportsball proving your bad faith arguing.
>>542374894>OP spouting bullshit with his faggotry and wall of text Kek everything you mentioned is not a hobby
>>542374894Yep.
>>542376281As far as I’m convinced anyone who enjoys any hobbies here is considered a manchild and a beta cuck.And yes fishing/cooking/hunting and all outdoor activities are hobbies too so you are also a manchild
>>542374894Talking about it on basket weaving containment pigpen sure isn't goyslop
>>542376084I feel the same way about sports fandom.It's bread and circuses designed to misdirect mens energy and finances.>Kids destroy them and can't cough up $4,000 to replace them.You're missing the point. It's childish.It's literal figurines you use to have pretend imaginary battles. The fact it costs $4000 just reinforces my point.Do you think that would have been a normal hobby for an adult 50 years ago?Can you imagine the men who stormed up the beaches on D-day were collecting figurines?It's infantile.
Requiring a fandom excludes you from nerd.Real nerds like shit regardless of what other faggots say and do.
>>542376349>And yes fishing/cooking/hunting and all outdoor activities are hobbies too so you are also a manchildthese are good hobbies. self improvement, connecting with nature, building tangible skills.there are a lot of good hobbies.this thread was about nerd culture. can't you read?too much capeshit rotted your reading comprehension?maybe instead of jerking your dingle to batwoman or miss marvel or whatever the fuck you should try reading some books you faggot.
>>542376560The internet is flooded with subhuman stupid fucks who can't read or comprehend. You don't even need to ask. Imagine you're talking to a dog, or a rock.
>>542376364what better place to reach the target audiance?
>>542376938You make up at most 1% of the population. There is nowhere else. We're surrounded.
>>542376390You think serving in the military is a laudable thing and not statist abuse? You're fucking retarded, propagandized cattle.
>>542376983Yeah i think you're right.I think it's also part of the reason why so few men are having children.How can you even think about a serious relationship and having children when you yourself are mentally juvenile?
>>542374894I like all these things except Marvel/DC
>>542377281>You think serving in the military is a laudable thingNever said that.My point was, they were men. Real men.It's impossible to imagine them collecting pokemon or reading comic books. Someone who indulges in such activities is literally incapable of being a man.
