He once ratiod me on a comment I made in one of your own videos, adding nothing. It was like a jumpscare to find they were relevant in non-wow stuff when I moved away from the game.
As someone who works in a restaurant, this is completely wrong. We cook all the food over wood fires. We wash the dishes by hand in a river behind the building. All of our blending is done with a whisk by Fast Hands Dave. We have no machines and no tools more complicated than tongs.
The second story is so full of weasle-words, I can't help but instantly not trust this woman. Like how she says that she's the "primary" breadwinner, trying to make it sound like she's the only one with a job when more likely it's just that she has a better paying job than him.
Also when listing the things she does, she mentioned being the main breadwinner but absolutely nothing about chores or housekeeping. It sounds like he takes care of the house and kid, she just doesn't like the child
@@842zaq1 Exactly what I was thinking. There also was something mentioned about "the give and take dynamic is solely on my side", which sounded like the only factor that matters for "giving and taking" is money. But even if the OP was the only money maker in this household, chances are that while OP is working, the father is busy taking care of the child and the house. Same with the things about "dude spends all my money and takes up my space" (roughly worded)...Does he really spend all this money on himself? Rather sounds like the OP severely underestimated how expensive a 4 year old child can be and how you pretty much end up converting most of your living space into a "child-friendly area".
she realized that a child is a living, breathing human that will develop a personality that she needs to actively work to help mold and decided that's not a problem she wants in on. No idea how she got engaged to a single father without considering this but honestly she's real for saying "this parenting shit not it"
God I’m glad I’ve managed to curate my interaction with the gaming community to a point where I’ve heard alot about Wu Kong the game but knew nothing of all that bs 😂
It's so fucking funny hearing the guys laugh at the idea of a Spaghetti Warehouse because my parents actually first met at a wedding (reception?) at a Spaghetti Warehouse.
For the second story, I feel it's self evident that she wants to break up, I don't think he would be able to forgive her if she kicked him and his kid out. I feel like it would make things pretty awkward. I also think that both of them are at fault when it comes to the kid. When you're dating someone with a child and you want it to be serious you have to align priorities, and a child by necessity is a huge priority. If you can't do that don't dare people with kids, and if you're with someone who can't do that stop dating them.
I think the third verdict missed something important. The mother wasn't saying "You can't watch my kid now." she was saying, "You can't watch my kid if you don't keep tiktok out of the equation." And that was a dealbreaker for Miss Brainrot. You're allowed to set boundaries for your own kids about their exposure to social media, and refusing to abide by those boundaries makes you the asshole!
With the second story, I think it's not unreasonable that you might not realize the difference between dating someone with a kid and living with and raising a kid. We also do a lot of assuming that she's just going to tell him to leave immediately; you can tell someone you don't want to live together and find solutions for them over time. They agreed to move in, but now having him and the kid there are adding financial and relationship stressors that it's entirely human to not have expected. I don't think she's an asshole for having the conversation with him that living together isn't working out for her.
I do think joesph has the right take when it comes to the second story She needs to break up with him or her life will be miserable She is also the asshole for breaking up with him due to conditions that (should) be foreseeable If the man did not have the necessary discussions that is a different story, however due to the format of this discussion of there is something that would make someone the asshole but it wasn't mentioned it does not exist
The second one desperately needs more information to make any kind of judgement. At least from my reading, it sounds like she’s burnt out from work and now all of a sudden has the big stress of moving in with someone and becoming a parent and maybe just she wasn’t ready but thought she was. So my advice to her would basically be to sit down, take a breath, and reflect. Were you just not ready to be a parent and being burnt out from work set your over, or is it just a case of work sucks and you’re burnt out and you do want to be a parent but weren’t ready for the reality of it. It’s just a whole scenario where it’s clear she’s stressed the hell out, and needs to think and calm down and approach the situation once she’s gotten a clear mind away from the super stress on if she thinks she can handle it, or if she’s just not ready at the moment to be a parent and have the horrible job stress. If it is the case and you thought you can handle it but now realize you just weren’t ready, then there’s a way to approach it with calm and grace and say “I appreciate you, but I’m not in a good mental spot right now and I think it would benefit my mental state if we lived in separate abodes for now”
Second story, I think it really comes down to one line: "I can't see myself ever liking his child as my own." It is within reason to believe this woman *thought* she was ready to be a parent in theory. Then she soon realized she was not, when faced with the reality of it. If she comes to the realization that she cannot be a good mother to this kid, then she is saving him from a future where he has a step-mom who resents him. NTA
For the third one: just because they "made" tiktoks doesn't mean that the kid was in them. By made tiktoks, they could have like... filmed them. Played with the cat or gotten him all dressed up in a costume and recorded some video
With the Black Myth: Wukong "controversy", it sounds like the devs were like "please just focus on the game and don't try to make up some culture war bullshit" and that crystalized the games' destiny for there to be some culture war bullshit... The game seems good from everything I've seen, and yeah, literally no reason for people to be stirring culture war bullshit except the weird email asking that people don't make up culture war bullshit... Oh and the director made some weird comments in the past comparing making games to attempting to have a child and another time some sexually charged innuendos about getting praise in the industry being like getting fellatio (at least I think that that's what it was). IGN spun that as these being "sexist" comments, but as best I can tell they were merely out of pocket "sexual" comments. I could be wrong though, it's not my job to dog the social media history of every eccentric auteur.
1. Correct 2. Correct 3. ?????? (legitimately cannot tell where we landed on this, folks) Bottle Night mentioned: 5 episodes (one on patreon) KILLS: 4 (one on Patreon - Kill Button merch when?) see ya next time :)
While you can break up with someone for any reason, there are still good and bad reasons to break up. Like, there is a difference between a reason that makes you go "Yep, totally understandable." and a reason that makes you go "What the hell is wrong with you?" I think the woman in the second story falls under the "Really? You are breaking things off because of this?" part of the spectrum, mostly because I do agree with Joseph that she sounds like she didn't expect that being in the same housing arrangement with a 4 year old was going to be extra work and just wasn't ready for it. Also, to answer Jordan's "does it matter" question: Yeah? Like, it's the difference between an abusive relationship and a normal relationship lmao.
I'm with peeps in the last one. I have seen parents give 5 year old children tablets to watch brain rot, and they don't care what the kid is watching as long as it keeps them quiet. Introducing them to social media is a lot worse.
On the third one, I can't seem to find the post. Was it ever answered in the comments or an edit whether when it says they made tiktoks with the cat whether the child was in said tiktoks or not? My assumption being she wasn't and they just filmed the cat being a cat, but honestly the answer hinges entirely on that. A five year old kid asking for a pet and to make tiktoks (when she likely doesn't understand even what that means, instead just excited to see something she knows on the screen. I know as a kid home videos were super interesting for me) is nothing. Give it a week or two and the kid will be on to asking about something else. However, if I had a kid and even a close friend or relative went and posted videos of them to the internet without asking me first, whether that was tiktok, facebook, or youtube? I would be livid. Also, the title says the OP is refusing to babysit the niece. However, in the post it instead says that the mother wasn't going to let her babysit the kid until she apologized. Those are completely different things.
Im pretty confident in the third story they just took videos of the cat and the child doesnt actually know what tiktok is ot appeared in them she just got to play with a cat and was told it had to do with something called "tiktok"
the first time i heard of black myth wukong recently was because one review critiqued something about diversity and inclusion in the game, and topics related to DEI blow up consistently
It's strange hearing the "anti woke brigade" claim Black Myth Wukong as their latest mascot since I'm 90% sure the "don't mention feminist propaganda" notice was for THEM. It sounds less like the devs are "anti feminism" and more so begging content creators to be normal for once.
Sometimes I feel like with every episode of these, I come to like Peeps more and more. Totally agree on that as a parent you should hold your children away from any form of social media as far away as possible as if it's some radioactive waste. Maybe with like 8 years or so you can slowly introduce them to internet-related things...but do it in a heavily thought out and controlled way. Giving them a smartphone + Tiktok "mainly to record videos" certainly is neither of that. To the Wukong pre-talk: 1. A Funny thing: There actually was a review floating around that mentioned "lack of diverse characters" as a negative point. They complained about the lack of female characters in this mythologic story about monkeys. Which also got debunked immediately, since apparently there are female characters in this game after all. 2. These odd restrictions for reviewers weren't even the starting point of the talk around this game. Rather this was seen as a jab to the previous events, where the devs of this game refused to employ certain consulting firms, which "conveniently" was followed by news articles slandering the devs (with allegations that turned out to be a healthy mix of bs and nothing at all)
Unfortunately sometimes doing what's best for you means doing something that isn't best for others, and it turns out most of the interesting posts wrestle with that.
I feel like we could empathize with the first guy a bit more, while he's definitely a huge weiner the way you deal with that level of embarassment isn't in the moment forcing them to "man up" but talking about it after the fact. If he really couldn't stand being there she's a bit of an ass for forcing him to, though he's still an ass for not checking if she was initially ok and denying getting cheesecake to go. That's like, the perfect solution. You still get to have the food you want and can spend time at home or at the park or something.
Finally got around to the 2nd one, man does the poster annoy me. She gave us basically nothing to go on. While yeah she's well within her right to break up for whatever reason, you're just asking if "kicking my fiancee and their kid out makes me an asshole" and yeah. Kicking people out is generally viewed as asshole behaviour unless they've done something egregious, which you haven't presented. I think Danny was projecting kinda hard towards the end, he could be 100% correct but there's zero evidence for or against so making his decision based on the story he theorized is a little forced, though admittedly it's not like you can't sympathize more than Joseph did without fabricating _something_
About the second one, the poster could just not be ready to be a parent. I get that it seems to be a bit of a rug-pull, but I don't know. Some people take a different amount of time to mature into a parenting stage of life. I do think that Joseph is in the wrong for saying that the poster didn't realize that they would have to parent the kid, because they would have had to have known that he had a kid, and also, people can change when you move in with them, I mean, it happened previously on the show. Anyway, I don't think that the second one is an asshole at all.
For the Tiktok one, i feel like danny is as biased as mbt and peeps here. He's talking as if everybody will be as controlled as him. I always find people like these problematic since it's the same as saying "oh just deal with it, i can't why can't you huh?" It's like saying everyone should have credit cards, just control yourself dumbo so you don't get into debt. Also it's different recording vids years ago when you were 5 vs recording a video using tiktok in 2024. Sure you can not post it but why use tiktok then. Just use the phone's camera. Not hating on danny, i love the guy and his content but just wanted to scrutinize his view a little bit
Really feel like you guys clowned it up for the first one. If the girl was embarassed and the guy refused to leave over fucking cheesecake you'd rip him to shreds for it
if you flip the genders on second post, it's a rich dude calling his fiancee a gold digger and asking if he's an asshole for kicking her and her child out to the streets because the kid is misbehaving
@@Kirinmon well if the guy was embarrassed after having his body exposed and was concerned that other people were ogling him and the girlfriend didn't want to leave then yes I'd call the girl the asshole in that scenario. But here's the thing about that, that didn't happen and that's not the situation that's being discussed at all. You can certainly *assume* that this podcast would be against the guy, but you don't truly know what they would say in that scenario. You are basically making up a situation to get mad at. If you can find a previous situation that's extremely analogous and they've commented on it in a misandrist way then I think your thought process would have more merit, but even then we could spend all day arguing if the situations are even comparable and other shit like that.
Not related to the reddit posts but we need to talk about this : What the fridge is going on with the gaming community ? I don't know if it's the politic environement, maybe we are all terminally online, maybe it's only reddit and twitter. but nowadays when we talk about a video game it's always : " woke this woke that, muh feminism, leftist ruined everything, right wings suck"... Can we all shut the F up ?! Don't get me wrong, games can be political and send really strong messages. But right now we are at a point where we stopped talking about game themselves. "The game is too woke , that one is not feminist enough..." Yea sure, but is the game good ? Is it fun ? Why is it good ? Why is it bad ? No one can even answer those questions because they are too busy shouting at clouds instead of actually playing games. Peeps is entirely right, people on the internet cannot enjoy things anymore. They cannot even engage in something without going through the lense of political nonsense and the " who owns who " mini game on twitter. I remember not so long ago we were all complaining about video games, actual video games. We were dumb and stupid back then too but at least we were debating about what we love. I don't know if what i'm saying make sense to anyone out there. But i feel that something has definitly changed on the internet and it is not for the best.
Those people are just looking for things to get angry at. Every post about how the "woke mob" is coming for your hobby is a desperate cry for validation, supported by thousands of losers all desperate for the same validation as they alienate everyone remotely normal from their lives.
No I get you, even with the recent mh wilds trailer there were folks discussing if it went woke. I think that nowadays there's just a big market for spreading fearmongering of "woke propaganda", especially on platforms like tiktok and youtube which then bleeds into other social medias. It's so exhausting that every release of a triple A game seems to bring with itself this shitstorm of assholes that never cared for the game really, and just try to shift the conversation around for their own gain. If it isn't done for profit of these influencers and it's just people being assholes online so much, then I have no ideas, I guess a portion of gamers just have a rotten brain.
I think it's that videogames in general usually attract a more teenaged audience, and the kind of teenager that gets *REALLY* into specific games and being online is the same kind that goes down an alt-right pipeline (unfortunately speaking from experience there). If you actually go outside and talk about videogames with people who aren't living and breathing it they're much more normal and reasonable about everything. Also just want to clarify, I don't mean videogames are inherently childish or anything, but they're generally a sizable time and money commitment and the only notable demographic that consistently has enough of both is teenagers.
If it's any consolation: Like, 90% of gamers don't give one iota of a shit. They're the people that buy the latest FIFA, or CoD, and that's it. People who get too far up their own ass are in the vast minority.
the strat is to just enjoy games on your own and never talk to anyone on the internet about them until you’re sure they’re not a brain-damaged shut-in. sounds extreme but it is increasingly becoming the only way to keep yourself from blowing your brains out
I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that the first scenario wasn't taken seriously. I feel like there's a real discussion to be had about balancing the celebration, the boyfriend's embarrassment, and what just happened to the girlfriend. But the boys just honed in on the fact he was embarrassed at all. Also, the post never says the boyfriend doesn't check to see if she's okay. That might have happened, but we can't know from the post
I mean yeah you can still be embarrassed by something and still be an asshole. Sure, he was embarrassed, but also in the post, it didn't seem as if he was checking on her. He was more focused on the fact that people are staring at her and being embarrassed than him checking if she's okay. Like I understand being embarrassed, but at the same time, her shirt is soaked in hot coffee, the first thought should be, "hey my girlfriend's burning right now, I need to make sure she's okay" than telling her she's overreacted and how embarrassing it was. I think it's completely reasonable to just clown on him
@queenautumnween2796 Right, it seems that way from the post, but in the comments, the girlfriend explains that she went to the bathroom and changes from her coffee shirt to his jacket. However, we're not told if that happens, and then he wants to leave, or he says let's leave and then begrudging gives her his jacket after she doesn't want to. I'm not saying that he's not the asshole. I'm saying that we took the wrong path to the verdict and missed the important part, which is the discussion about an interesting and nuanced situation that we could have learned something from.
@@queenautumnween2796 Do you think she just magically got his hoody. Chances are him checking on her isn't mentioned because it's nor relevant to the story. If anything it's on the girlfriend for not realizing that omitting it would be interpreted by strangers on the internet as it never happening.
??? I don't understand how you three would be less qualified for deciding on the second story because you are men. The entire story has nothing to do with gender in any way. You could just switch the genders of the partners or have a homosexual couple. It would change literally nothing about the situation or morality of the situation. It is hard to decide who is wrong in that situation for pretty much everyone (to a large part also because of a lack of knowledge) Rather than getting the opinion of a random woman I would try to get the opinion of a single parent or someone that dated someone who was a single parent.
I'm a girl and I think that's important for the first post and my statements on it. I usually don't like guys and am biased around them but I rly disagree with the takes you guys had. First of all you really characterize a guy as a specific archetype of individual because of his comments of him finding it uncomfortable that other people were staring at his wife. Men clearly think differently about breasts than a lot of women do. Maybe it's some shy femboy who stumbles over his words or really socially anxious or whatever. I mean if it was clearly making him uncomfortable then I'm pretty sure shes the asshole, but like much of these situations I dont really like calling either person an asshole because it ALWAYS comes down to people never communicating properly. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive like this, also dude wears a hoodie hes clearly just an egg in denial so really this is a lesbian relationship which means no men should ever comment on it. I just know if a girl I was with said "I feel uncomfortable" I dont care about cheesecake, I care about them. This really has strong brat vibes now that I think about it as well. Idk I just dont like how it feels people are sexist against men and I don't even like being around them. This would get me excommunicated from the trans secret society if I said this so you know I'm seriously empathetic.
he feels uncomfortable about someone else not anything that actually happened to him, it’s massive controlling bs that you’re somehow buying. notice how she never says that people were staring at her or notices it at all? guarantee you it’s entirely in this dude’s head and he’s just projecting weirdness and insecurity of his control over this woman
i am a high wizard of the trans secret society and i have read your post. you are now excommunicated from the agenda. i pray that the hrt gods have mercy on your soul
Wukong was being boycotted by western game "reviewers" after it was leaked they refused an offer from Sweet Baby inc to get paid for "increase diversity in the game". Which is why this whole discussion even became a thing, so not surprised the devs didnt want political nor ideological talk associated with their work.
Uh, could you provide a source? I'm struggling to find any meaningful source regarding any Sweet Baby offer (outside of one social media post that keeps getting shared around which doesn't provide evidence besides word of mouth), and even less about a boycott. Who's boycotting it? Like specifically who, not generally western "reviewers".

there used to be a spaghetti warehouse in Houston now they just do togos out of an Warehouse 72 next to a Dave & Busters.
It's strange hearing the "anti woke brigade" claim Black Myth Wukong as their latest mascot since I'm 90% sure the "don't mention feminist propaganda" notice was for THEM. It sounds less like the devs are "anti feminism" and more so begging content creators to be normal for once.
I really hope that all three of you are now familiar with the spaghetti warehouse theme song, now that it got mentioned on the show.
My family only exists because of that fucking restaurant and even I never heard of this WHAT
I hate that I now know this exists….
Sometimes I feel like with every episode of these, I come to like Peeps more and more.
Totally agree on that as a parent you should hold your children away from any form of social media as far away as possible as if it's some radioactive waste. Maybe with like 8 years or so you can slowly introduce them to internet-related things...but do it in a heavily thought out and controlled way. Giving them a smartphone + Tiktok "mainly to record videos" certainly is neither of that.
To the Wukong pre-talk:
1. A Funny thing: There actually was a review floating around that mentioned "lack of diverse characters" as a negative point. They complained about the lack of female characters in this mythologic story about monkeys. Which also got debunked immediately, since apparently there are female characters in this game after all.
2. These odd restrictions for reviewers weren't even the starting point of the talk around this game. Rather this was seen as a jab to the previous events, where the devs of this game refused to employ certain consulting firms, which "conveniently" was followed by news articles slandering the devs (with allegations that turned out to be a healthy mix of bs and nothing at all)
Good luck on the 24h stream, Joseph
I wish they would stop ruling, "you absolutely have this right, but you're an asshole for using that right."
Unfortunately sometimes doing what's best for you means doing something that isn't best for others, and it turns out most of the interesting posts wrestle with that.
I feel like we could empathize with the first guy a bit more, while he's definitely a huge weiner the way you deal with that level of embarassment isn't in the moment forcing them to "man up" but talking about it after the fact. If he really couldn't stand being there she's a bit of an ass for forcing him to, though he's still an ass for not checking if she was initially ok and denying getting cheesecake to go. That's like, the perfect solution. You still get to have the food you want and can spend time at home or at the park or something.
Finally got around to the 2nd one, man does the poster annoy me. She gave us basically nothing to go on. While yeah she's well within her right to break up for whatever reason, you're just asking if "kicking my fiancee and their kid out makes me an asshole" and yeah. Kicking people out is generally viewed as asshole behaviour unless they've done something egregious, which you haven't presented. I think Danny was projecting kinda hard towards the end, he could be 100% correct but there's zero evidence for or against so making his decision based on the story he theorized is a little forced, though admittedly it's not like you can't sympathize more than Joseph did without fabricating _something_
About the second one, the poster could just not be ready to be a parent. I get that it seems to be a bit of a rug-pull, but I don't know. Some people take a different amount of time to mature into a parenting stage of life. I do think that Joseph is in the wrong for saying that the poster didn't realize that they would have to parent the kid, because they would have had to have known that he had a kid, and also, people can change when you move in with them, I mean, it happened previously on the show. Anyway, I don't think that the second one is an asshole at all.
wait i don’t think you guys even answered the question in the third one
Danny - Not the asshole
Joseph & Jordan - Asshole
17:09 spot on. Stop being so fragile bro jhc.
For the Tiktok one, i feel like danny is as biased as mbt and peeps here.
He's talking as if everybody will be as controlled as him. I always find people like these problematic since it's the same as saying "oh just deal with it, i can't why can't you huh?"
It's like saying everyone should have credit cards, just control yourself dumbo so you don't get into debt.
Also it's different recording vids years ago when you were 5 vs recording a video using tiktok in 2024. Sure you can not post it but why use tiktok then. Just use the phone's camera. Not hating on danny, i love the guy and his content but just wanted to scrutinize his view a little bit
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Really feel like you guys clowned it up for the first one. If the girl was embarassed and the guy refused to leave over fucking cheesecake you'd rip him to shreds for it
if you flip the genders on second post, it's a rich dude calling his fiancee a gold digger and asking if he's an asshole for kicking her and her child out to the streets because the kid is misbehaving
@@Kirinmon I think the big difference is that in both scenarios, it's the girl's body.
@@ashikjaman1940 i meant if roles were completely reversed
@@Kirinmon well if the guy was embarrassed after having his body exposed and was concerned that other people were ogling him and the girlfriend didn't want to leave then yes I'd call the girl the asshole in that scenario.
But here's the thing about that, that didn't happen and that's not the situation that's being discussed at all. You can certainly *assume* that this podcast would be against the guy, but you don't truly know what they would say in that scenario. You are basically making up a situation to get mad at. If you can find a previous situation that's extremely analogous and they've commented on it in a misandrist way then I think your thought process would have more merit, but even then we could spend all day arguing if the situations are even comparable and other shit like that.
If the situation were different, the outcome would be different, yes.
danny is so right on the last one
Not related to the reddit posts but we need to talk about this : What the fridge is going on with the gaming community ?
I don't know if it's the politic environement, maybe we are all terminally online, maybe it's only reddit and twitter. but nowadays when we talk about a video game it's always :
" woke this woke that, muh feminism, leftist ruined everything, right wings suck"... Can we all shut the F up ?!
Don't get me wrong, games can be political and send really strong messages. But right now we are at a point where we stopped talking about game themselves.
"The game is too woke , that one is not feminist enough..." Yea sure, but is the game good ? Is it fun ? Why is it good ? Why is it bad ? No one can even answer those questions because they are too busy shouting at clouds instead of actually playing games.
Peeps is entirely right, people on the internet cannot enjoy things anymore. They cannot even engage in something without going through the lense of political nonsense and the " who owns who " mini game on twitter.
I remember not so long ago we were all complaining about video games, actual video games. We were dumb and stupid back then too but at least we were debating about what we love.
I don't know if what i'm saying make sense to anyone out there. But i feel that something has definitly changed on the internet and it is not for the best.
Those people are just looking for things to get angry at. Every post about how the "woke mob" is coming for your hobby is a desperate cry for validation, supported by thousands of losers all desperate for the same validation as they alienate everyone remotely normal from their lives.
No I get you, even with the recent mh wilds trailer there were folks discussing if it went woke.
I think that nowadays there's just a big market for spreading fearmongering of "woke propaganda", especially on platforms like tiktok and youtube which then bleeds into other social medias.
It's so exhausting that every release of a triple A game seems to bring with itself this shitstorm of assholes that never cared for the game really, and just try to shift the conversation around for their own gain.
If it isn't done for profit of these influencers and it's just people being assholes online so much, then I have no ideas, I guess a portion of gamers just have a rotten brain.
I think it's that videogames in general usually attract a more teenaged audience, and the kind of teenager that gets *REALLY* into specific games and being online is the same kind that goes down an alt-right pipeline (unfortunately speaking from experience there). If you actually go outside and talk about videogames with people who aren't living and breathing it they're much more normal and reasonable about everything.
Also just want to clarify, I don't mean videogames are inherently childish or anything, but they're generally a sizable time and money commitment and the only notable demographic that consistently has enough of both is teenagers.
If it's any consolation: Like, 90% of gamers don't give one iota of a shit. They're the people that buy the latest FIFA, or CoD, and that's it. People who get too far up their own ass are in the vast minority.
the strat is to just enjoy games on your own and never talk to anyone on the internet about them until you’re sure they’re not a brain-damaged shut-in. sounds extreme but it is increasingly becoming the only way to keep yourself from blowing your brains out
I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that the first scenario wasn't taken seriously. I feel like there's a real discussion to be had about balancing the celebration, the boyfriend's embarrassment, and what just happened to the girlfriend. But the boys just honed in on the fact he was embarrassed at all. Also, the post never says the boyfriend doesn't check to see if she's okay. That might have happened, but we can't know from the post
I mean yeah you can still be embarrassed by something and still be an asshole. Sure, he was embarrassed, but also in the post, it didn't seem as if he was checking on her. He was more focused on the fact that people are staring at her and being embarrassed than him checking if she's okay. Like I understand being embarrassed, but at the same time, her shirt is soaked in hot coffee, the first thought should be, "hey my girlfriend's burning right now, I need to make sure she's okay" than telling her she's overreacted and how embarrassing it was. I think it's completely reasonable to just clown on him
@queenautumnween2796 Right, it seems that way from the post, but in the comments, the girlfriend explains that she went to the bathroom and changes from her coffee shirt to his jacket. However, we're not told if that happens, and then he wants to leave, or he says let's leave and then begrudging gives her his jacket after she doesn't want to.
I'm not saying that he's not the asshole. I'm saying that we took the wrong path to the verdict and missed the important part, which is the discussion about an interesting and nuanced situation that we could have learned something from.
lmao what
You gotta grow up some time sorry 🤷♂️
@@queenautumnween2796 Do you think she just magically got his hoody. Chances are him checking on her isn't mentioned because it's nor relevant to the story.
If anything it's on the girlfriend for not realizing that omitting it would be interpreted by strangers on the internet as it never happening.
??? I don't understand how you three would be less qualified for deciding on the second story because you are men.
The entire story has nothing to do with gender in any way. You could just switch the genders of the partners or have a homosexual couple. It would change literally nothing about the situation or morality of the situation.
It is hard to decide who is wrong in that situation for pretty much everyone (to a large part also because of a lack of knowledge)
Rather than getting the opinion of a random woman I would try to get the opinion of a single parent or someone that dated someone who was a single parent.
I'm a girl and I think that's important for the first post and my statements on it. I usually don't like guys and am biased around them but I rly disagree with the takes you guys had. First of all you really characterize a guy as a specific archetype of individual because of his comments of him finding it uncomfortable that other people were staring at his wife. Men clearly think differently about breasts than a lot of women do. Maybe it's some shy femboy who stumbles over his words or really socially anxious or whatever. I mean if it was clearly making him uncomfortable then I'm pretty sure shes the asshole, but like much of these situations I dont really like calling either person an asshole because it ALWAYS comes down to people never communicating properly.
There is nothing wrong with being sensitive like this, also dude wears a hoodie hes clearly just an egg in denial so really this is a lesbian relationship which means no men should ever comment on it.
I just know if a girl I was with said "I feel uncomfortable" I dont care about cheesecake, I care about them. This really has strong brat vibes now that I think about it as well. Idk I just dont like how it feels people are sexist against men and I don't even like being around them. This would get me excommunicated from the trans secret society if I said this so you know I'm seriously empathetic.
he feels uncomfortable about someone else not anything that actually happened to him, it’s massive controlling bs that you’re somehow buying. notice how she never says that people were staring at her or notices it at all? guarantee you it’s entirely in this dude’s head and he’s just projecting weirdness and insecurity of his control over this woman
great post
i am a high wizard of the trans secret society and i have read your post. you are now excommunicated from the agenda. i pray that the hrt gods have mercy on your soul
We’re guys, trust me we’ve all heard what guys that act like this say when girls aren’t around and it ain’t sweet.
Wukong was being boycotted by western game "reviewers" after it was leaked they refused an offer from Sweet Baby inc to get paid for "increase diversity in the game". Which is why this whole discussion even became a thing, so not surprised the devs didnt want political nor ideological talk associated with their work.
Uh, could you provide a source? I'm struggling to find any meaningful source regarding any Sweet Baby offer (outside of one social media post that keeps getting shared around which doesn't provide evidence besides word of mouth), and even less about a boycott. Who's boycotting it? Like specifically who, not generally western "reviewers".
Yeah this is complete bullshit. Please stop listening to anything Grummz says
If you genuinely believe SBI tried to pay the Wukong guys 7 million dollars to make the game woke, you might not be cut out for the Internet
What the hell is sweet baby inc?
First off, no it wasn't. At all.
