This just in! According to some random dude on the Red Pill subreddit, our culture is going to hell in a little pink handbasket and it’s all the fault of you women.
Consider:
Television is all crappy reality shows and Kardashian type gossip magazine rubbish.
Every single movie has a romantic subplot forced into it, even movies “Made for men”.
ESPN spends more time on human interest pieces, Breast Cancer Awareness, and if Lamar Odom is staying with Khloe than actual sports.
Music gets more shallow, filthy(seriously, eat the booty like groceries?), and repetitive every day.
The problem? The entertainment biz is
simply giving women exactly what they want. This is the invasion of women into male spaces these liberal minded progressives clamored for.
Don’t try to deny it, ladies! You know it’s true. Because women want our entertainment to be crap. Also, entertainment consists entirely of TV, movies, sports, and music. Books do not count! They are only for women and manginas! And don’t even think about, you know, paintings and all that shit.
Women don’t care about the actual athletics behind sports. They could care less about the hardwork and dedication that goes into progress, they like the excitement and the player’s lives.
Women don’t need a “good movie”, they need a movie that makes them feel good. They need some romantic subplot that makes them feel special and hopeful and not alone.
And it gets worse:
Women don’t need good chord progression, lyrics that exalt a virtue or dig deep into the cultural zeitgiest, they just want a fun beat that makes them feel good.
Screw you ladies, and your terrible chord progressions! I mean, I’ve seen it a million times. Some dude comes up and he’s all
E – B – C#m – A
And the lady is all, nuh-uh!
C – B – F
And you’re like, what the hell is this bullshit!
Now, I know what you’re gonna say: I’M A WOMAN(OR I KNOW A WOMAN) WHO LIKES GOOD MOVIES AND SPORTS AND MUSIC AND YOU’RE FUCKING WRONG!
Guess what? I know an Asian that’s tall and has a big dick, are we gonna just assume that’s the average? Grow up.
YEAH! You tell ’em wait what?
I don’t remember learning about that argument in debate club.
This is the inevitability of women in male spaces, and more importantly the economy catering to women: Women waste more disposable income on entertainment and luxury than men. Women work to buy things that make them feel good.
Of course these industries are going to cater to women because there’s just so much fucking money in it.
But what can we men do?
we’re not going to stop listening to music or watching movies. We’re not going to turn sports off. These industries know this and thus can pocket from both sides.
BUT NO MORE! WE’RE MAD AS HELL AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.
The truth is things will never change until men are more united, until we are unified in one voice that says “We’re not paying for this shit anymore.”
YOU TELL ‘EM! No more movies with romantic subplots! We only want to see people blowing shit up! NO KISSING.
And no more music with fun beats! WE DEMAND HIGH QUALITY CHORD PROGRESSIONS ONLY! And would it kill you to throw in a Dsus4 chord every once in a while? NO. No it wouldn’t.
Unfortunately, the betas would rather shoot up schools because they’re not getting pussy.
Yeah, fuck those fucking betas, with their inability to score pussy and their tolerance of weak-ass chord progressions.
And that shooting up schools thing, that sucks too.

Because dudely rock music never has the same three chords all the time.
Ahem, The Ramones.
I love them, but they didn’t have the most complex guitar work of all time.
Does…does he not watch television at all? We’re living in the golden age of television. And clumsy romantic subplots are hated by everyone, the studios just mandate them for some reason. Like what is this dude even talking about?
“Women waste more disposable income on entertainment and luxury than men.”
On SCENTED MOTHERFUCKING CANDLES!!!
No, really, a rant like this is where that was born, and I can’t read any of this rant without my brain short circuiting.
Oops sorry weirwoodtreehugger, you already made the point I did.
@Argenti AertherI
Omg! That was exactly what this reminded me of! >_> and honestly, among my peers, unless you are living at home and saving on rent nobody (men and women) has much disposable income…
Dudebro heard the phrase “chord progression” used to describe music once, but doesn’t know what a chord is and has never played an instrument in his life. This is the classic manosphere appropriate-a-term-of-art-so-you-sound-like-an-expert gambit.
Slightly off topic, but parachuting beavers isn’t a story that comes along everyday

@ Carayak – yep, male space is all space, including (of course) outer space. It also includes the kitchen because it’s HIS kitchen – the women are just there to make the sandwiches.
I saw a brilliant movie last night: Sicario. There was some kissing in it, but that turned out to be… {OK, no spoiler} less than romantic.
There was a woman in it, though, which would probably spoiled it for young Lochinvar in the OP.
@zblongladder: also known as “reductio ad taurus excrementum”.
@WWTH
Five bucks says he tunes out and glazes over when those shows are on, has no idea what they’re about, and dismisses them as shallow, superficial chick stuff. Because that’s what deep people do. They ignore things that aren’t about them.
Well, when you’re making sweeping generalizations about how All Asians Are Like That, and someone comes up with a single counterexample, they’ve just disproved your sweeping generalization. Furthermore, when you’re trying to pass moral judgment on All Women Everywhere based on hypothetical average behavior (mostly gleaned from pop culture tropes, not real-world experience), that’s also bad logic.
I’m going to fuck with his averages a little more, and note that I’m female, I’ve studied music theory, I play a few instruments, occasionally write songs, and love complex chord progressions. I also love simple ones. Depends what the song is trying to accomplish.
Let me guess, he’s whinging about the in-depth bios of athletes they show to, y’know, give a human face to the competition and add to the audience’s understanding of what they’re watching. Where is it written that these are aimed specifically at women? The men I know who watch sports also enjoy these segments, and would find it boring if the athletes were reduced to anonymous statistics and uniforms and numbers. It doesn’t make the action any less pure and manly if the spectators know something about the personal lives of the competitors.
He wants movies without any messages or romantic subplots, well I guess that rules out all those Michael Bay movies, or anything starring Jason Statham, Jet Li, Adolph Lundgren or Armold Schwarzeneggar, where the whole world blows up several times in a minute.
Yeah, all the fine, upstanding, manly music, with deep messages and complex chord progressions of the past like Surfin’ Bird; Louie, Louie; anything by The Beach Boys, with their deep messages of surfing which are squarely aimed at men, or possibly the music of Wierd Al Yankovic.
Or all those manly TV shows like MMA wrestling, or actual sports games. Hell there are whole tv stations devoted to playing shows only men like, including all of the Internet, but this fool can’t find anything to occupy his time.
So basically he’s saying that he’s just so incredibly rough and manly that everything in the world is just “sissy” stuff to him.
Apparently spellcheck does not like Mr. Lundgren’s first name.
Weirdly enough when it comes to my top 5 guitarists. 3/5 our female and two of those three Lydia Lunch and Cosey Fanni Tutti dont actually play any recognizable chords at all. Both use slides to do really weird shit to a guitar which in my opinion is a million times cooler than any chord progression.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
As an extremely amateur bass player, I’m still laughing at this….
Wait, what?! So… apparently, us FEEEMALES actually LIKE being demoralized in crummy rap lyrics according to this dude’s logic (or lack thereof)?
When’d this happen? Did I miss something from that secret meeting? Katie didn’t tell me about it!
Also, there’s a reason why romantic subplots are shoved into macho man movies, and no, it ain’t because of us ladies, dude.
I gotta admit, the piano student in me laughed way too hard at these.
Though the basic premise of the above quoted Red Pill subreddit post was poorly stated, I think there is something to his basic idea. The basic idea is that normatively, women are more prone to behaving like their personal feelings are of primary importance in any circumstance. If main stream media is now increasingly pandering to that mindset, it is completely natural that some men will take issue and call MSM out on this.
1/10, does not even lift.
And what about ethixx in vidya gaem jornalizm?!?! No one gives a shit about ur Holywood TV lamestream media, get ur priorities straight, bruh!
I love it when men gatekeep music. It’s happened to me a lot. When I used to collect vinyl, I’d be one of the few women looking, especially in the punk/new wave/indie sections. Some men would be mildly disturbed by my presence, and would stare at me. Other men would get immediately attracted and try to get my number. Meanwhile I’m just looking for Japan 45’s. I don’t go to the collector events anymore, but that’s just because it’s an expensive hobby.
They hate the so called pc culture because of safe spaces from racism, sexism and homophobia but they want safe spaces that are safe from women.
Computes.
I too miss the days when rock music was all about temperance, diligence, and chastity.
And it’s been happening forever, too. Just look at all that sleazy, objectifying cover art. Whose gaze is it catering to? Hint: NOT WOMEN, EVER.
(And yes, I got peeved by this too, back in the Stone Age when vinyl and cassettes and 8-tracks were how music got sold and I was 12-13 and just starting to buy my own records. There were some album covers that made me red with rage and shame, even though I craved the contents of those damn records SO BADLY. Which is why the biggest part of my stash wound up being 45s: Very little skeezy artwork on them. Mostly just plain little white paper sleeves.)
“Lyrics that exalt a virtue” — Oh, you mean like this?
BTW, here’s the cover art from the album that’s off of:

Yeah, dude, tell me you wouldn’t have bought that record just so you could fap to the cover art while that song was blaring. (BTW, the model was just 14 when that god-awful photo was taken. I suppose it’s legal, but only barely.)
I snorted at your chord progressions.
Speaking of repetitiveness and chords though… I think it’s really more of a Western Music thing and less of a gal thing.
It’s been a well known problem, since, I dunno, the 1680s?

@Alan
That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I found it extremely important and enlightening.
…I’d never have thought dropping beavers from the sky would be a prudent way to relocate them.
