  1. Adamir, why did you refer to yourself as a "Y-Chromosome built ape"? How am I supposed to take anything you just wrote seriously if you don't even have basic self respect? What kind of man timidly debases himself as a matter of course? As if men as a sex are guilty of some great sin and should be ashamed? Snap out of it, man. Literally everything you said about men wanting to possess women is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Women themselves would rather be tall, statuesque, beautiful and big-boobed than short, fat, and strangely shaped. Those female super hero bodies are the ideal feminine shape. Ideal as in, almost unattainable in their perfection. Just like the male superheroes. The world is not out the oppress women, dude. I think you're inventing persecution where persecution does not exist. And is there something intrinsically wrong with men finding a youthful, fit, gorgeous woman full of feminine vitality attractive? Is there someone intrinsically wrong with women wanting to be attractive? Did you even read my post? No one is "objectifying" women. They're idealizing them. No one is robbing women of their agency or any stupid crap like that. Women aren't being systematically oppressed by an evil patriarchy.
  2. @Voidus You're on to something, I think. They've done series of superheroes in their teens - why not mid-life crisis superheroes haha?
  3. I just bought a new pair of shoes from my drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been trippin' all day!
  4. Oh, man, this happened months and months ago. So one night my wife and I are laying together in bed. We're restless, can't sleep, and have the giggles. We wrestled around for a while; me trying to tickle her while she tried to pinch me. Fun stuff. Once we tire ourselves out, we STILL can't sleep. So we start talking about dreams we've had. My wife surprises me with one of the most morbid dreams I've ever heard of - something about having to feed flies to a dead kid. Creepy stuff. After I shared a creepy dream of my own, I told her my theory that people censor their dreams. Even if it's just a little bit. She asked me to clarify. So I asked her if she had ever had a dream that would make me mad to hear about it. She thought for a long moment and then told me no. I called her a liar liar pants on fire, so she asked me to give me an example. Before I tell you the dream I told her, there's something you should know about my wife. She's gorgeous. Long, luscious hair, legs that never end, and not a pound of fat on her. She's the kind of girl that gets dirty looks from other girls just for existing. She also has a sister that's three years younger, and maybe slightly hotter. So I told my wife about a dream I had where she suspected me of having a crush on her sister. "I know you want to sleep with my sister, you jerk. Why don't you just go ahead and do it!" she said. So I did. It was hot and vivid and definitely a fun dream to have. By the end of it, I was sleeping with both of them together. So once I finish telling my wife this dream, I realize that it's 3am, I'm high on endorphins from the tickle fight, feeling affectionate and open, and I've let my guard down. I look at her, and brace for impact. "Aaaaahahaha! You're disgusting!" She laughs at me, "Oh my god! I can't wait to tell my sister you had a dream you banged the both of us!" And from that day forward, my wife has been hanging that over my head, threatening to embarrass me.
  5. I've never understood people's problem with this. Most male superheroes are super muscular and wear very tight-fitting, impractical clothing. This is to distinguish them from the common man. The male super hero wears clothing to better depict how strong he is. Male super heroes are the masculine ideal; physically fit to the point of perfection, tall, intelligent, etc and they wear uniforms that accentuate that. The same thing goes for female super heroes. They are, physically at least, the feminine ideal: toned, lithe bodies, perfect proportions, large breasts - and they wear clothing to accentuate that fact. People always complain about female super heroes, but I just can't understand the double standard. What's wrong with a female super hero that dresses proactively? That's what people want to see. And it isn't a male vs female issue at all, it's just the difference between super heroes and regular people. I mean, how successful would Superman be if he was short, balding, had bad teeth and bifocals, had a flabby body with a big belly, and wore frumpy clothing? No one wants to see that, just like no one wants to see a Wonder Woman who's 70 lbs overweight, is chugging a XXL Starbucks Latte with like 1,300 calories from sugar alone, had a short, pixie cut, and wears loose fitting, mens clothing. Which brings me to MY pet peeve in fantasy - Social Justice Warriors are ruining comics. Rather than creating their OWN superheroes, they complain and use incendiary language like "racist" or "transphobic" or "misogynist" until publishes cave to the pressures and change long established heroes. Thor is a woman now. Spiderman is Latino and gay. Captain America is black. Why do these social minorities get to scream at the top of their lungs and get their way? If they want to see themselves represented somewhere, fine. Literally no one objects to that. But create your own unique stories rather than subverting the already popular ones.
  6. The permit for my house got approved unexpectedly early, so construction will be completed about six months ahead of schedule!
  7. It's always interesting to get to know the people with whom you share a community. I started reading this thread without an intent to post but, by the time I finished, I decided I'll share a little bit about myself since my demographic appears to be the least represented. I am male. Unlike the others who posted and immediately stipulated that they are male but not masculine, I am unashamedly masculine. I am twenty eight, married, and the leader of my household. I do not mean to say that I am a tyrant, but in matters of importance I have the final word. I also manage my family's finances, investments, and budgets. I labor endlessly for the good of my family. I enforce family policies. For example, my wife exercises with me three times a week. Some days she doesn't want to. Some days she wants to procrastinate, or make an excuse. I don't allow her to quit on herself and will compel her to exercise with me. Nothing intense; a 5k three times a week never hurt anyone. I can already tell some of you probably don't like the sound of that. Forcing my wife to exercise? "It's her body, her choice!" right? Well these things are her choice. She wants these things, but sometimes she has to rely on my strength and leadership to do them. It isn't easy to have a fight with your wife over something like that - but she told me, "Don't let me quit. Some days I'm going to want to. I'll make excuse and bitch at you, but don't let me quit." So I take her at her word and don't let her quit. Except when it comes to smoking - I made her quit doing that. And let me tell you, that was a struggle that really tested the strength of our bond! Today, however, she is extremely proud of her accomplishment and thanks me for helping her do it. Now we mock smokers together - the idea that someone would pay upwards of $300 a month to poison themselves is truly baffling. I tell all you this because I think it's the easiest way to explain what kind of man I am. A leader. Others have renounced traditional "masculine" interests, like sports, trucks, and drinking beer. I also hesitate to call them masculine. I would describe them as, "Interests more commonly held by men than women." To me, masculinity is about strength, leadership, and self improvement. You can probably already tell that I love exercise. Exercise makes you stronger, like a better version of yourself. I can't understand people who are unwilling to be better versions of themselves. I also love learning. And creativity. There is something ineffable about letting the mind explore and grow that strikes me as masculine. There are those that would say creativity is feminine - I disagree. The most influential creative people of all time have been overwhelmingly men. Another personal virtue of mine are my protective instincts towards those I perceive to be less powerful or able than myself. I disagree with a lot of what the rest of you believe. I may even mock some of your beliefs in my own social circles. I fully expect that, among your own social circles, men like myself are the subject of ridicule as well. But I tolerate no hostility in my presence. If I see someone being teased or victimized, I act. Where others will post a blog about how upset they were, and what they should have done about it, I act. Admittedly, this happens infrequently. Though I have physically thrown a friend of mine out of my home who was speaking disrespectfully about one of my guests. There you have it. To summarize: I am a masculine, athletic husband who forces his wife into healthy habits (I want as much time with her as possible!) embraces and endorses traditional gender roles, has contempt for things I perceive to be weakness through shortcomings and compassion for weaknesses that cannot be helped. And that's not even getting into politics! Pick my brain, guys. Men like myself are on the decline and we won't be around forever. Some of you who dislike the patriarchy probably think that's a good thing. I think the effemination of men is one of the two greatest tradgedies of our time. Edit: I can't believe this didn't occur to me earlier: my wife and I are like Dominion and Devotion and that's the way we like it. I think that's a better arrangement than two Devotions or two Dominions.
  8. ...not sure this belongs in Cosmere Theories. "The end of the Cosmere" sounded terribly interesting; now I'm annoyed for having wasted my time.
  9. It is essentially a Reddit clone but free from the "safe space" and social justice warrior nonsense. There's no censorship of ideas; excepting, of course, things that are actually illegal. There are no "trigger" warnings or foolish things of that nature. It's very refreshing not having to worry if the thought police are going to ban you for saying the wrong thing. I highly recommend switching from Reddit to Voat if you currently use Reddit. Currently, it's a very small community, which is good and bad. It's nice recognizing users across various subs, but sometimes the less popular subs, like /v/Cosmere are starved for content.
  10. The transformation from lance to lifer isn't irreversible until you get that first rocker. There's still hope, man!
  11. I am a white male, 6' tall, athletic at 180 lbs, and have short brown hair and brown eyes. My ancestry is eastern European on my father's side and Scottish on my mother's side. I have masculine features and women have described me as handsome. I have a few boring scars and no tattoos. I am clean shaven, but occasionally wear a beard during the winter. I like plain clothes (no graphic tees for me!) and darker, earthen colors. Fitness is important to me and I exercise regularly. I don't smoke or drink coffee, so my teeth are pretty white. I'm very happy with my features and wouldn't change a thing.
  12. I checked out /v/Cosmere and /v/BrandonSanderson and there doesn't seem to be anyone there. Do any of you guys use Voat?
  13. Upvoted simply because I had never considered that Shshshsh might be Dalinar's boon rather than his curse.
  14. EDIT: Got home from work and embedded the image. Sorry for the long leave of absence for those of you who even remember me - got distracted with a whole lot of important stuff all at once. I had to put the reread I was doing so far on the backburner that I completely forgot about this website. So, thank you to whichever one of you works at Fanduel and made this promo code. You brought me back to the 17th Shard.
