Why is it considered poor form to demonstrate your frustration over losing at a video game in front of others, even if something is on the line and the way you lost makes you particularly angry?
>>
>>729163732
Losing control over your own emotions and feelings is a sign of low or underdeveloped frontal brain lobe activity.

>they looked like they had to barely work to beat you

>so you didn't just lose, you looked bad and set a bad impression for your skills
>looking at the screen in the post-match results at the winning character
>frustration over everything that happened

>"FUCKING SHIT GAME" exits your lips at maximum volume as the controller in your hand travels straight downwards onto the floor with the full force of your arm

It won't make sense to someone who hasn't been in that position.

>it's the heckin underdeveloped frontal lobe
Says who? Fraud psychologists? Getting angry and destructive is a sign of masculinity. If you lose out on thousands of dollars at a game tournament and just say "lol I tried" and walk away, you are a total cuck. A real man with high test becomes powerful, destructive, and intimidating when he doesn't get what he wants. And doesn't let up until he does get it.

Ok so you've lost control of your emotions briefly and have now destroyed your own property. Now you have to buy a new controller. Why couldn't you have just yelled? What did destroying your own property add?

I can buy another one of my broken property, unlike you since you're a worthless neet with zero income.

Men are dangerous and should never be allowed to demonstrate anger because it's violence against women

Anger is a healthy emotion. A functioning man can channel that anger into something productive.

The controller can be replaced. Your reputation cannot. By smashing the controller in front of everyone and expressing rage you've established yourself as the dominant alpha. Women will approach because they want to fix you and because they love the bad boy. Other men will be intimidated by your presence. You lose the controller but you gain control of the situation.

I've never claimed to be rich, you're confusing me with the anon who called you a worthless neet.

By throwing a tantrum you've destroyed your reputation.

That doesn't make sense.

It sounds like you're describing this situation, not the person getting salty in front of the world.

No, people can feel frustrated..it's just acting like a child means your brain ain't fully developed

It's not. Ignore those scumbag winners and let your frustration out.

The whole "gamers are school shooters" psyop means that any time a gamer gets upset in public people start to fear for their life.
>>
>>729163732
Getting this overtly emotional over trivial shit like video games is a feminine trait. Men are designed by evolution to be the decision-makers in times of crisis and intense stress. Emotional outbursts are a luxury afforded to women, children, and browns who have no actual function in keeping the infrastructure of civilization running. Someone has to keep their shit together.

A properly functioning male saves emotional moments like OP’s pathetic display for when someone extremely important dies.

But you guys here on this site are angry 24/7, yet never achieve anything, never do anything productive, still haven't had sex, don't contribute to the world around you, and more. Explain that.
>>
>>729163732
Adults are supposed to show control over their emotions. Emotions aren't inherently negative, but as individuals with life experience, we SHOULD be more aware of ourselves and how our behavior affects others. Children do not typically possess this awareness, so emotional outbursts are seen as childish and immature.

The way you described your thought process here unironically reminded me of the way I thought when I was in like third grade. Just because you're a retarded baby doesn't mean it should be accepted behavior

>>729163732
Because acting like a retarded monkey is in no way accepted in a society (we're getting there though, thanks to social media)

I have been in that position and instead of anger it just leaves me both impressed, with crazy respect for the other dude and a strong desire to self improve. Getting angry just makes you look even worse.

It's childish. Traditional masculinity is a strong, stoic man that's unbothered by trivial nonsense because he's above it and becomes emotionally active over meaningful things.

It's literally in the name. Video game. Game. It's just a game, and it's not even a game like the olympics where national pride is in the conversation. It's just your pride.

So when people crash out, it makes them look like low-tier men that can't handle the heat or don't have control over their emotions.

Personally we should remove the stigma on salt. It adds to the show in my opinion.

Why is /pol/ so confused on what masculinity is now?

I know you are trolling, but it's just too funny for me to imagine you chimping out after loosing in a tournament and demanding a 1st place prize anyway. Your sperg out would definitely make all the pussies around soaking wet.

729170025
they got mindbroken by a misunderstanding of stoicism, "nigger behavior", "white behavior", high/low test behavior and high/low iq behavior. they try to be opposites, trying to advocate for mass murder why denouncing niggers for acting like niggers while claiming being aggressive is high test while claiming that is low iq, but they are based when they do it unless is cringe, its an act to show hoe cool and chad like they to other losers online

One time I was at this party and the local weeb took his switch into it. He stomped me on Smash, he was a really bad winner. Said things and shit. I beat him once, on our final match. Once. He threw a hissyfit and whinned about le cheap tactics and stuff. I told him "lmao you suck at your own game" and he threw his pro controller at me, missed, and broke it. We all had a good ol' laugh.

Nigga are you 4 years old, throwing a temper tantrum over smash bros is the least masculine thing you can do.
>>
>>729163732
Because you volunteered to play and accepted the rules. No one forced you to do so. It's the same with people who run businesses. Play by the rules of the system you support both in victory and defeat
