>Having a beautiful family, big house in the suburbs, and a successful career ain't all it's cracked up to beWow, how thoughtful
>I keep having sex with beautiful women and I'm rich I HATE MY LIFE
>i can't empathize with the successful, i'm too enviousjust commie problems
If it's any solace he probably a premature death from all the drinking and smoking
>>214487806>Empathize with Don DraperWhat is their to empathize? That he grew up in brothel?
>>214487773>>214487792completely utterly 100% absolutely totally entirely categorically thouroughly flat out FILTERED
>gay soap opera >:(>gay soap opera, 1960s :O
>>214487822>esl brown>no theory of mindwhat a surprise
>>214487889>soap opera is when there's no superheroes and space aliens
>>214487931>No superheroes>No nudity>No guns/violenceYes, it's a soap opera. And that's a bad thing.
>>214487773It is just child abuse and an ad for smoking Kill yourself >>214487889>>214487931Soap opera is a format not a style. They air episodes every day, hundreds of episodes a year. A 20 episode season is not a soap opera. Well, they have a certain style because of the format but it's like conversations that go on for an entire week of episodes, multiple somewhat unrelated storylines going on at once. You have no idea what a fucking soap opera is
So not having any of those things and being surrounded by brownoids must be WAY better haha.Haha.....
>>214488068Did it air episodes every day? Then it isn't a soap opera. Young and the Restless, an actual soap opera, has as of yesterday aired 239 episodes this year. That is a soap opera
>>214488068soap operas are defined by form, not content. you are low iq
>>214487773>SuburbsThere's the problem.
>>214487773Happy people are all alike. Every unhappy person in unhappy in their own ways.
>>214488190They think "soap opera" is the dramatic style not the format of airing every day so bored housewives have constant gossip. And nothing they accuse of being soap operas have soap opera style dialogue or camera work because they have no idea what they look or sound like because they've never watched any episodes of any of them.
>be le Chad>Chain smoke unfiltered ciggies in the office>Start the morning day drinking and crash at lunch because I'm fucking hammered>Have a steady diet of wife's canned casserole and jello chicken>Driving a leaded gasoline truck>Constantly cheat on wife with any passing cunt and avoid any quality time so I never pair bond with her>All my friends are psychotic nepobaby socialite commies who value nothing and hate the world for no reason and don't actually have values >Wtf why do I feel terrible all the time
TrueIt has been romanticized
>>214488198Boomers were never that happy in the suburbs. It was just a cope to be away from niggers and poor urban infrastructure. Had those two been fixed city living would've thrived
>>214488960We used to have the most beautiful fucking cities man. Cincinnati and Saint Louis were where Europeans vacationed.
>>214489042>St. Louis never built a real mass transit system.>St. Louis never merged county and city.>St. Louis never actually tried to take care of inner city neighborhoods.And Boomers wonder why that city went to shit. t. Kansas Citian
>>214487792man, it's almost like those things aren't actually what give your life meaning
>>214487773Yeah, come to think of it, this show really has no hook... Things are great for all of these characters. I feel a little sad for Adam but he'll be okay. I don't care if Don cheats on his wife. I don't care if life's a little rough for the divorced lady. I don't care if any of them get ahead at work. I don't care about any of the characters
>>214489192Okay, so don't watch the show and get out of the thread.
>>214487773>>214487792his entire persona was a lie.he had no love from his parents growing up. he only ever got something from literal whores in a whore house as a child, so he has some kind of attachment issue and needs to fuck random women to feel anything. he doesn't trust women who try to love "him" which isn't the real him anyway but his fake persona.he's basically in hell. like there's no way out of his situation. really shows how a big lie can just eat away at your life with no way to fix it.the end is just him accepting that this is his life and to stop trying to run from it. the ad "it's the real thing" is his broken understanding of what love is--something that makes you feel good for a moment, like a hershey bar or a coca-cola.when he's at the hershey meeting "it said sweet on the back" is basically him as a kid trying to escape his traumatic childhood. literally anything warm or comforting was like love to him, even though it was literally just some marketing on a products packaging. and that's why he's so good at advertising.idk maybe im wrong but it seems like this was his deal.
>>214489093There's genuinely nothing you can do to fix it. Do you think South Africa can take care of its problems by wasting more money on cleaning and more cops? As soon as you have an inner city problem it's all over
>>214489687Thank you, anon. You understand this wonderful show.
>>214489687Nah man you have it right - I award you 1 media literacy award
>boomers gaslighting the younger generations to get used to not having the privileges they got by simply existing
>>214489783post WW2 for the US was objectively a really unique situation that basically no other country has ever had, at least as far as I can tell.
>>214489687correction, he was raped by the whore in the whorehouse
>>214490292yeah but she took care of him too, which his step-mother never did.
>>214487773>>214487792Superficial niggas like you deserve to watch marvelslop 24/7. Brainlet fuck kys.
>He has no people! You can't trust a man like thatthis hit hard...
>>214490336>she was a helpful rapistanon, c'mon now. When I first watched the show, I didn't get it, but after re-watching the show I realised that the whole point of the show was that Don was raped and then his step-mother gaslit him into thinking he wasn't raped and beat him. I guarantee you the women watching the show didn't pick up on this either, because they don't believe men can be raped outside of a rough prison.
>>214490647didnt seem like rape
>>214490585Yeah, advertisements are for real braniacs. You gotta be real high IQ to enjoy watching an advertisement Kill yourself >>214490609Kill yourself Jew
>>214490609he was right though
>>214490847watch it again, he says "no" repeatedly and asks her to stop over and over.
>>214491282he could have left though. he stayed.
christina hendricks’ tits get so big and distracting in the later seasons
>>214491356why are you being dense, in real life, it takes a longer time than you'd think for people to realise something bad is happening to them if it's not a gun being pointed at them. He was just a kid, and didn't know what was happening.
>>214487792from the outside, cages people build for themselves can seem retarded, but it's important to understand why they built them and why they choose to stay in them.
>>214491392yeah i guess so
>>214488077the "It's a soup opera guise!" retard doesn't understand that, he thinks calling it a soap opera is profound in some way, I think he's trying to disparage it for being an adult drama involving relationships between men and women (which he can't handle apparently)
>>214487792this only became a meme because sometime after season 3 or so, lots of women started watching the show and asking for more Don romances which just concluded the exact same way everytime.
>>214489735>how do we solve inner city crime>I know! We should build lots of council estates for the criminals to live in, so that the criminals are comfy and maybe think twice about doing crime>crime triples every year after thatevery single time
>>214488960Those two issues are related.But 95% of it is avoiding feral nogs.The new generation is learning that again as they try to be low impact and ride buses again and get stabbed for having white skin
>>214492885it's not about skin colour, it's about violent crime, yes the two come up often but genuinely 100% of it is the Police not doing their jobs, or not being allowed to do their jobs.
>>214489687this guy fuckswell said king
>>214489687S6 could've been two episodes, the Hershey bit, "not great Bob!", punished Ken, that's like two episodes.
I still think the show would be better if it was just Office scenes.
>>214493012shut up dipshitthe show gets better with each season until it ends
>>214493363the don running away to california scenes throughout the series are some of the most literal kino that exist
>>214487840Oh yeah mad men absolutely works as a great barometer of IQ… https://youtu.be/OqkHPsY8p84Retards watch that scene and have their minds fucking blown with shock. Intelligent people go “yeah duh the boss is nihilistic and prefers Don, we knew that.”“And we even knew Pete is the eternal shat on character who exists to create a distinction between bad mad men like him and good mad men like Don!”
>>214491282>he says "no" repeatedly and asks her to stop over and over.i think you're mixing up mad men with your own biography again. he gets a hard-on looking at the whore. she lifts the covers to look at it and he says "stop it" because he's embarrassed. she asks him if he wants to know what sex is all about and he says "no" but then she starts kissing him and reaches for his dick and he doesn't protest again. if that's "rape" then every shy non-virgin out there was raped because a pushy girl working her way past your paralyzed embarrassment is how most shy guys manage to lose their virginity at all.it might still be the most misguided scene in the whole show because it allows so many midwits to boil a fairly nuanced show down to muh trauma. mind you, this is from the same showrunner that had feminists out for blood because he said what pete did to that au pair wasn't rape either.
>>214493542>the boss is nihilistic>Pete exists to create a distinction between bad mad men like him and good mad men like Don!unironically filtered
>>214493615>she touches his dick and he doesn't protest againanon he said stop about 4 times before that, you're being dense. So if I'm raping a woman and she says "no" 643 times but says "yes" once after that, it's not rape?
>>214493726>anon he said stop about 4 times before thatfalse. he says stop exactly once in the entire scene, when she lifts the covers to look at his erection. then he says nothing when she starts kissing and jerking him off. don't make shit up.
>>214493983>If I gaslight the anon it will workby "no" I mean other ways of saying "no"
>>214494080he doesn't do anything else either. he just lays there. you're the one making up a scene where he "yells 'no' and 'stop' over and over." that does not happen. stop lying.
>>214494121A lot of people just freeze when things they don’t like happen but don’t know how to deal with. Sexual assault is one of those things where it can happen
>>214494206so previously screaming was proof of rape, and now the lack of screaming is proof of rape? you just really want to twist the scene to be about your pet victimhood.
>>214487773Let's smoke some cigarettes.
>>214494473>woman ruining her children:O?!?!?!
>>214494473betty best girl then trudy and it's not even close
>>214492957>it’s not skin color I swear guysYou’re awillfully ignorant npchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_CjFr_s7yc
>>214492230>for being an adult drama involving relationships between men and womenWhich it isn't. It is an advertisement and that is why it should be disparaged>>214489735The problem is the niggers>>214492802Kill yourself Jew >>214493542>Oh yeah mad men absolutely works as a great barometer of IQ…Yes, if someone watches it you know they're a drooling retard. Or a JewKill yourself Jew
>>214487773>show is supposedly a gritty drama about the advertising industry>turns out it's a soap opera for women, the 1960s alcohol/sexism angle is utterly unconvincing, and is mostly about people cheating on each other and other relationship melodrama
>>214496312it is pretty stylized. would be sort of cooler if they made it more realistic and less polished but w/e
>>214496312you could have just written "i can't relate to the male characters because they have sex"
>>214487792>>I keep having sex with beautiful women and I'm rich I HATE MY LIFEThis is the plot of 90% of the trash that's called "prestige television." Just the same shit over and over.
>>214495319It's always shocking when tey have a horrible joke/pun and literally no one on the writing team, the director, producers, or anyone went 'how about we just try one more time with that punchline is that really the best you have?'
>>214496457You don't have the same quantity or quality of sex with women as beautiful as in this show. Basically no one does, that's why it's a fantasy and this show is just male fantasy porn. This shit is porn for people too prudish to watch porn.
>>214487773I think his problem is despite those things he was always under pressure of trying to cover up who he was and "advertising" himself without authenticity, which no matter what he gained from this falsehood he is unhappy because all those things are gained by Don draper and not him.
>>214496312>another retard using "soap opera" to mean a style of drama not a production style Again as an example Young and the Restless, an actual soap opera, has aired 178 episodes so far this year(my earlier number was wrong because of how CBS counts their seasos) and is scheduled for another 80. THAT is a soap opera, they air every day. A 20 episode season is not a soap opera Watch a fucking soap opera for a few weeks before accusing things of being a soap opera>>214496334>it is pretty stylizedNo, it isn't. It is a very straightforward advertisement >>214496580It's just an advertisement for smoking. That's why it is only liked by Jews in advertising, it is about them and is purely an advertisement
>>214492230maybe he's just baiting you
I never saw this show the same way after learning about Jews. The second season plotline where Don has an affair with the Jewish comedian's wife was clearly Matthew Weiner's cuck fantasy. The whole show is about the end of WASP rule over America and the beginning of the Jewish Civil Rights era, and this is portrayed as a good thing.
>>214496580>this show is just male fantasy pornjust a post ago it was a soap opera for women. you're hitting it with completely random contradictory complaints. why does it make you so angry?
>>214497307you keep coming into these threads and saying this nonsenseweiner literally said in several interviews the show is a love letter to the wasps he grew up around and always wanted to beyou odd dork
>>214496967maybe you're just pretending to be an unfunny offputting faggot for some dark ugly reason that never lends itself to enjoyable banter with anyone you fucking retard
>>214497521also how does it being male fantasy porn imply anything other than a show that's totally fucking awesome if you aren't some ugly, emotionally stunted shut init's high key great, one of the best ever and its not even up for debatesoap opera's are also literally based af if you've ever been fired and got to get day drunk at home like a chad for any length of time you'd get it
>>214487814Nah, boomers are built different
>>214496967yeah, for 10+ years in every MM thread he's tried to convince everybody the show is shit because "it's a soap opera!", pretty dedicated to his shitposting craft (or just a retard)
>>214488068It's a drama, not a soap opera. Read books to expand your vocabulary
>>214497727mindbroken. imagine caring this much about some stupid tv show.
>>214497959I know right its so cringe of me to enjoy one of the best shows ever made and want to discuss it with other like minded people on a board dedicated to it
>>214489687he also doesn't seem to love his wife or his kids, and says stuff like "love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons"
>>214497307ALL the "characters" in this shit are Jews, they're in advertising fucksake. >>214497804It is disgusting evil Jewish filthKill yourself Jew
>>214498580>he also doesn't seem to love his wife or his kids, and says stuff like "love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons"hell yeah just like me
>>214498444its cringe to make up strawmen in your head about someone who is clearly baiting you. just stop and think for a moment, you're getting this wound up over a bait comment about a dumb tv show.
>>214498869whos wound up? it's called a conversation you fucking weirdo wtf hahahahaha
>>214498883>hahahahhaha
>>214487806Empathy is for the weak
