The right rejects nonbinary gender identities. Immediately reinvents nonbinary gender identities.

    This is completely different!

    However, as a manly army of manly men, we'll need a banner. Let's say one colour per man flavour, in horizontal stripes : red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. And since we are very proud of our virility we should organise some parade of this pride (name to be found).

    Good job. Let's reward ourselves with a nice evening at the hammam.

    That’s a weird way to pronounce Van Gogh. 😉

    I recently watched the documentary Van Gogh by Vincent, which narrates his development as an artist by using his own self-portraits. Hearing the way the speakers pronounce his name is now cemented in my mind. Honestly it still feels weird, but I'll get used to it.

    If you don’t watch Doctor Who, and even if you do, Vincent and the Doctor is the best season 5 episode (no spoilers for the larger series arcs).

    And that’s when I started questioning how I pronounce Van Gogh (I’m American, so I say Go with the long ō).

    I listened to a Dutch person pronounce Gouda (cheese) and now pronounce it that way, much to the dismay of my fellow Americans.

    So Alpha males is the idea scammers sell to kids. Betas are non cunts who incels look down upon. Sigma males are people who buy into this shit but have no friends.

    Wtf are Delta, Gamma and Omega males?

    Edit: AND WHY THE FUCK ISNT BETA FOLLOWED BY GAMMA BUT BY DELTA!?

    Alpha are attention seeking narcissists.

    What are sigmas? I had the impression they were like so omega they actually became cool somehow, at least in their own minds? I mostly associate them with the Literally Me types that just don't understand how the world works, worship grifters, and have and likely would honestly really rather kill women than get laid.

    a fiercely independent, self-reliant man who lives outside traditional social hierarchies. Often idealized as a "lone wolf," a sigma operates quietly without seeking social validation, functioning as a counterpart to the traditional, assertive "alpha"

    Married with 2 daughters here, feminist, vegan, anarchist and I threaten the traditional macho loud alpha type because I don’t see the hierarchy or participate in it which starves them of validation or something which unfortunately makes them focus on me more. Idk I’m just in my own wee world (AuADHD) and think it’s all dumb, but not afraid to tell anyone they’re being daft or give them a slap if needed.

    Plenty of pals. Had 12 groomsmen, I guess doing things like being the only person to jump in when one of my pals got attacked offsets the aloofness/weirdness. (Everyone else just sat and watched while I fought off 2 guys at once)

    Alpha being LinkedInLunatics and jocks being betas says A LOT about the type of guys who'd buy into this chart. Oh and Delta looks the most working class, which again, says a lot about who made this chart. Gamma is either the rocker types or maybe just implies effiminate liberal men? Either way, the men actually likely to get laid without paying for it. Omega is supposed to be a nerd, which is not what the typical incel actually is. Sigma is.....hipsters? James Dean or Fonzie? The AI that likely made this seems as unsure about the classification system as I am. And yes, the order being wrong aggravates me too.

    This feels like a specifically middle aged cope of the original cope (which definitely had jock Chad alphas and breadwinner beta cucks)

    Seriously? Not a single Brave New world reference??!!??

    Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse.”

    / the new Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. It's literally an ego toy, something you use to enhance the narrative that you tell yourself about yourself.

    Worse yet, this is just a way to try to hierarchically categorize yourself as being simultaneously:

    1. part of an in-group,
    2. better than others
    3. a paragon of your sex

    It's just so pitifully shallow. Like, if you're going to stroke your own ego, at least do it with something unique to yourself. Define yourself by the people, experiences and things with which you surround yourself. Define yourself by the things you do. Literally anything that would make you more than a penis with wrapping paper and a voice-recorded greeting card saying how awesome the penis is.

    Is the weird uncle the kind that has the odd, yet cool hobbies. Like how people sorta don’t understand having a homebrewing hobby, but will readily accept free homemade beer? That guy?

    He's either Uncle Buck or the guy who ruins Thanksgiving/Christmas dinners but still gets to come every year. I definitely missed out on the odd, yet cool hobbied uncle. I think the Ruin Holiday uncle might have been him if not for Nam.

    You know, the more I think about it, the more I think these manosphere "men" should be put in daycare. They're clearly not mentally old enough to be adults, so maybe making "dude daycares" for them wouldn't be the worst thing on the planet.

    I have a theory that there's a growing market for third space gaming lounges. All those empty office spaces could be converted to row couches and TVs with Gamecubes.

    The market was never large or mainstream enough before when gamers were just nerds. Now? I think there's a calling for a public living room.

    People no longer want to leave their homes to game, hence the death of most arcades

  • Interestingly, there's a small arcade chain that's pretty popular around my area. They specialize in retro games and have a wide selection, and from what I've seen they get pretty packed on weekends with people of all ages. They have stations of classic consoles (great if you want to play with a group), along with traditional arcade games and pinball. They do tournaments, birthday parties, and other events as well.

    Not that it denies the trend, but it shows that there's definitely some interest out there for a gaming/"public living room" kind of place.

    With proper male role models in charge, ones with cool confidence who don't react to misogynist/racist/transphobic/etc jokes. Who express empathy toward others, and who can instruct these guys on communication and problem solving tools. Not to "get chicks," but to empower themselves for their own sake.

    Basically, it has to be run by men who can show them what being a man actually requires.

    This needs far more upvotes than it has. Maybe people aren't familiar with the correct pronunciation of that letter?

    Thanks! I think the correct pronunciation might technically be /ˈfaɪ/ (FYE), but I've heard it pronounced /ˈfi/ (FEE) often enough, I'm not sure.

    According to Wikipedia, modern pronunciation agrees with us ("FEE"), but apparently ancient Greeks would have pronounced it "FEY" (or "FEY-EE", I can't quite tell to what degree epsilon-iota was a diphthong).

    Good catch. Though, I'm not surprised that anyone memeing for the manosphere doesn't know the Greek alphabet.

    All they really know is that "Beta" comes after "Alpha." And maybe that Pi is in there somewhere.

    ETA: Upon further scrutiny, they also put Omega before Sigma, even though there's the phrase, alpha to omega.

    God I want these chuds to continue to get flashbanged by Omegaverse/ABO content. Going to sleep happy tonight knowing a manosphere-bro is about to find an ABO mpreg fanfic about their favorite CEOs written by a single woman in her 30s and just implode at the idea of women writing that stuff. That and the fact that AI will flag terms like "alpha male" as 18+ 🤭

    That's the world I want. Also I think that might actually be good for these guys. I think seeing some Kirk/Spock mpreg scanned from a paper zine written when by a horny woman their grandma was a young child may actually help these men.
