I’ll repeat the sentiment I’ve heard here before: why do chuds do this to themselves? Don’t they realize they can still watch the media they enjoy? I thoroughly disagree with their reactionary drivel, but I agree that plenty of the Hollywood slop these days is not that good. So what? Just go watch old movies, or foreign film, indie, anything. They can only complain. It’s exhausting.
The best explanation I’ve heard for this phenomenon is that they’re man children who don’t want to accept that the reason new Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, etc doesn’t make them feel the way they did when they were nine years old watching the originals is, they’re not nine anymore. They’re adults, they don’t have the wide-eyes wonder anymore, they’ve developed enough to see weak plots and poor suspensions of disbelief that nine year old them wouldn’t pick up on. They can’t just watch the old films because that will just be nostalgic, instead of recreating that feel they had watching it for the first time.
But rather than accept that perspective of media is something they’ve lost, they keep going back to the slop hoping beyond hope it will come back. And when it doesn’t, they get disappointed and mad and, hey here’s a culture warrior saying the problem with modern media is woke and DEI and feeeemale. Now there’s an outlet, an explanation that isn’t growing up.
There are a lot of people that do not have an internal monologue going, and thus do not ever really do introspection unless prompted. This isn’t just a chud phenomena, liberals and leftist do it to (though leftists far less ime, as to become a leftist in the U.S. usually requires a lot of introspection). They don’t move on because it doesn’t occur to them that they should move on. Hell at this point they are probably more focused on the drama around the media than the media itself. They are consuming more media about media, than primary media.
Because then they have to accept the loss and temporality of that feeling and time in their life and that’s a scary/depressing thought for some people.
All they have is the slop. Foreign films and indies are liberal or worse, and any movie that isn’t action slop is boring and for women. What old movies are they supposed to watch? Cowboy movies? Stalin loved those, they’re woke commie garbage. Action? The effects aren’t as good. No, they have nothing, especially not since their wife took the kids…
It kind of does, at least for the terminal-stage aging gamedads. It wouldn’t be crowdfunded to the tune of nearly a billion dollars if it wasn’t, while having a shrinking playerbase yet still making more money every year.
If they watch the old movies with the brainrot they have now a lot of classics may end up being too “woke” for em and they may not be able to handle it
The true fall of the West is that these chuds are holding on to Marvel as their most sacred cultural institution. You are hanging on for dear life hoping that movies about unserious supercops beating each other to restore the status quo to bring meaning back to your life. Literally hopeless nation. Shameful.
Think about it, are we supposed to take out Spiderman and SpongeBob? They don’t have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large land mass, but it doesn’t have any heroes, all of their heroes are cartoon characters, they’re all fictional.
The obsession over fictional characters these people have is absurd. And even then, the core of some of these characters goes against what they believe. How could, for example, Spider-Man not be against guns? The first thing that happens in his story is his uncle being killed

That’s a good explanation. But why are chuds so stuck in the past? Why can’t they move on and just watch something that makes them happy?

I think maybe nothing could make them happy?
Spitballing here
Because then they have to accept the loss and temporality of that feeling and time in their life and that’s a scary/depressing thought for some people.
They complain because they feel entitled to all the treats
All they have is the slop. Foreign films and indies are liberal or worse, and any movie that isn’t action slop is boring and for women. What old movies are they supposed to watch? Cowboy movies? Stalin loved those, they’re woke commie garbage. Action? The effects aren’t as good. No, they have nothing, especially not since their wife took the kids…
They have Star Citizen.
I’m only half-joking. The target audience and paying playerbase is aging divorce dads, as seen in convention and le epic steak dinner photos.
Everything goes back to Scam Citizen for treatbrain addled chuds
It kind of does, at least for the terminal-stage aging gamedads. It wouldn’t be crowdfunded to the tune of nearly a billion dollars if it wasn’t, while having a shrinking playerbase yet still making more money every year.
All they have is slop. All I have is slop. The difference? a skill issue, I can enjoy slop
If they watch the old movies with the brainrot they have now a lot of classics may end up being too “woke” for em and they may not be able to handle it
They would have nothing else to talk about.
They just want to complain but the only thing they know about or care about is their treats. So they complain about the treats.
But if it wasn’t for the woke, it wouldnt be ruined, and would be good
The true fall of the West
