As a young man did you relentlessly virtue signal to try and get some?

I'm skeptical that virtual signaling will get you some, but it might get you to the friend zone.

I bet if he was a young man today he'd think virtue signalling would get him some from chicks with blue hair and nose rings.


“Toxic femininity” πŸ™„


Trolly has no need of mere womankind when he's on internet forums 18 hours a day for 14 years.

β€œToxic femininity” πŸ™„

Toxic femininity doesn’t distinguish between the real and the counterfeit. If the counterfeit is more socially salient, then TF sides with the counterfeit and punishes those who side with the real.

Ah, good to have you around to remind us to focus on what's real. Speaking of which, how's your very real sky friend doing today? Chatted to him asking for guidance lately?

Toxic femininity can be found in people who consider themselves male as well.

Ok, what about real sky friend though? Why don't you want to talk about him/her? Ooh, is it because it might be a she?

Toxic femininity is just bitchiness, right? Just like toxic masculinity could also be called being an *******.

Damn, never knew what I was doing was toxic masculinity.

All toxic males are *******s, but not all *******s are toxic males.


I feel like you guys are throwing around terms you’re unable to accurately define…


I find the whole anti-abortion a child is not a choice arguments as woke moralizing. But since conservatives hold those positions it's not woke.

The Woke hold certain racial, sexual, and gender identities as sacred, but these identities are counterfeit forms of the sacred.

The child is actually sacred.


Where the Woke get in trouble is that they rightly have an intuition that we are searching for something sacred in the margins, but toxic femininity doesn’t venture beyond the boundaries of the social, so they project the sacred onto the socially marginalized.

When, in actuality, the sacred thing which needs to be found is outside of the social in the darkness of the chaotic unknown.

Nah. Women go for sincerity; once you learn how to fake that, you're golden.

Fascinating. What language is this?

I was about to say you were screwed so, until I read the faking it part. πŸ˜€

So, what are your thoughts on "woke"?

My new favorite saying/quote of the month...

It is an 'Endlessly receding horizon'.


by Trolly McTrollson m

As a young man, I became infected with the woke mind virus; it rendered me easygoing and left me unable to get upset about women and minorities in Star Wars movies.

Did it motivate you to attend pro "Palestine" rallies even though you aren't "Palestinian"?


Turns out I was right about wokeness losing cultural currency. Can the anti-wokes stop pretending they are being oppressed now like it’s the height of the gamergate saga?

It was bound to happen sooner or later. This election, in part, is a response to widespread wokeism.

I’m sure that’s partially true, but I’m more just approaching it as a cultural critic of what’s actually going on in the culture. People were acting like being woke is still the most powerful ideology there is, when in many ways it’s now the β€œanti-woke” aligned people that are becoming a hegemony.

I mostly agree. The anti-woke crowd can be just as bad as the woke. The problem is that neither of them are willing deviate from their original position. Wokeism is losing traction, but it's still powerful. Those people are loud. Either way, the blowback was inevitable.
