Why do people become manchildren? Why do they read genre fiction, play video games, watch Star Trek and anime, cosplay?

If they're having fun what do you care? Are you not having fun with your life? That's sad man

Jordan Peterson has a good take on it.
>INB4 you autists freak the fuck out because I mentioned Peterson
Watch it. It is only a few minutes long and he makes some great points. Especially how the modern education system in the USA promotes it.

I think lack of socialization explains it sufficiently.

people who don't mesh well with the other kids at an early age start a trajectory toward being outcasts, and define themselves by geeky shit. they forge bonds with other geeky, fat, hopeless losers and celebrate shit that is entertaining without the need to be social.

I'm a boomer and a fucking hate millenials. Well only the men. They're all useless and dumb. The millenial women are fine though. They're actually clever, have careers and contribute to society.

Easy life since childhood, maintained by daddy and mommy, never pushed outside of their comfort zone because they lived in a bubble their entire lives.
Yet they know that their existence is redundant and a waste of air and space on Earth, so they turn to fantasy in an attempt of escapism.

I don't know, I am an Engineering student, not a psychologist. Did my best.

this man doesn't say anything without saying everything

Same reason people go to Sup Forums, real life just isn't fascinating enough

R u another trollbotski, comrade?

Definitely this.

I was that guy no one talks to in high school ever since I had enough of bullying and stabbed one in the ear with a pen.

Instead of trading cards I found Sup Forums by ED back in 2006 and the rest is history

Reeeeee

Someone else likes something I don't

Sup Forums is nothing but manchildren

Agreed: my millennial sugar baby just got a BFF so now I have two mouths to feed.

Why the fuck not? Do you have any better suggestions? Other, 'real' man, envy them cause they are free.

Literature (classics), sports.

i like dragonball z and thats it

I was the visible minority who fought back against white privilege in Grade 12.

Kys

Also people become manchildren because the poison in everything distrupts their puberty.

Sorry, manlet, you need to get out more.

I wish a place like that existed around here, nothing but zombies drugged up to their eyeballs too depressed to even look at you

The real question here, is why does everyone around here seem to get so butthurt about shit other people do that doesnt affect them in the slightest?

What kind of incompetent queer doesnt replace his 3DS shitnub with a PSP one? If you're gonna be a manchild at least be a competent one.

I just turned to being depressed, personally.

Americans are a mix of sick manlets and healthy manlets.

Just moderate your obsessiveness.

This is Sup Forums dude. Everyone LARPs as an Uber-Chad here, when they’re exactly like OP’s post

Parental culture of absence made possible by excess.

Kids are being left alone to entertain themselves while their parents do the same.

Any suicidal ideation yet? There is a helpline.

No card sleeves. WTF

They probably shuffle them like playing cards, too.

We care because fucking losers like this are bringing down the human race.

you are the fucking losers, kiddo. kill yourself--even your parents are better off without parasitic trumpcucks like you.

Why do people still around Sup Forums? What is so great about Sup Forums? How does modern psychologists explain it?

We all have guilty pleasures bro. Twisted people call it fun, some call it being indulged.

Nothing wrong with recreational hobbies. It's when you build your whole life and identity around that hobby that it becomes a problem.

Because fun things are fun

You posting on Sup Forums is supposed to be what? The height of human enlightenment?

Thats an escapism. People cant find heir niche in the modern world, can't be blamed for that.

What gender are these two? Asking for a friend.

underrated

thanks to his reply I actually gained +10 iq. A bit more replies and I will reach three-digit numbers

That only explains the serial killer unabomb.

Yeah I’ve already gone through suicidal ideation and all. I’m seeing a professional, but I’m a shit person.

That's what fags do.

Out mind thy tongue. A loser might rip into ye over this.

Even trolling on Sup Forums is a sign of terminal manletitis.

Why are you furthering someone else's agenda by pushing the idea that Manchildren are a thing? We're all the same degree of existing, none of of are "older" in mind, only in body. The ignorant know nothing, while the wise also know knowing. Knowledge is pointless, any good philosopher knows that.

Why is it childish? It's not childish behavior to part take in entertainment mediums.

But I know it's fucking faggotry to complain about it on Sup Forums

If video games still looked like they did in teh 8 bit days I doubt many men would still play them.
Every year they become more sophisticated.

Parental failure.

*while the wise also know nothing. Know-thing, nothing, what's the difference?

Bottom left knows he can be doing better than this

Good shit like 420 or bad shit like krokidil?

Bad shit like I feel like a parasite and want to disappear.

Oh look, a kid who thinks he knows everything by declaring he knows nothing.

Thank you for telling the truth.

And a fuckery be this place called Sup Forums

I cannot recall the exact number, but a significant number of men that have ever lived never produced offspring. This gets into that 80/20 rule everyone's familiar with. Politics aside, in all honesty, that's nature.

Chimpanzees have a hierarchy. Non-alpha males (that don't get banished from the group) get action on the side from one of the haram females. All the other males less than a beta don't get anything. 80/20. Human females would rather share a top tier male than reproduce with an Omega.

Society and civilization, like abortion and faggotry, are against nature. Society's incentive for non-alpha males to participate and bring their nerdy inventions and cooperation to society is equal access to pussy (marriage/monogamy). This is literally the only reason society exists; equal access to pussy.

With the invention of real hospitalization, technological advances of medicine, nursing, and a greater understanding of how our bodies work, we've managed to salvage countless mothers/children that would have otherwise been removed from the gene pool by mother nature. All these "defects" continue propagating at an astounding rate. Magic: The Gathering tournaments are overcrowded and football stadiums are going empty. Or, rather, whites are fleeing sports like football and blacks are taking over (they have nothing else to contribute, so...)

If you were to take a survey of everyone at that table to find out who was born c-section out of necessity to save the mother, child, or both, you might be shocked. If there's something I've learned about nature, it's that it knows best. Every step of the way, we try harder and harder to ignore the warnings nature has given us and work actively against her to preserve life at all costs.

Think about it.

You realize that even people who seem to have their shit together are just kids with more experience and in the scope of everything else are just as clueless as the rest of us, right?

No implies Godly humility
Know implies base pride.

We tread a path meandering between them.

Dream of a better future that we could already have if not for jews and their servants diverting world resources to keep people dumb and obedient. Dream that became unatainable withing this lifetime. Instead we got Shannique scolding us to use correct pronoun or to find a new job and you ask why they prefer fantasy?

Implying the greatest minds are not on this site.. No way to know really.. Were anons after all

Shit, man. You ain't.

If you were you'd be sleeping in homeless shelters, stealing candy from babies.

yeah, why don't millenials have BASED hobbies like watching niggers pass a ball back and forth

>my limited perception defines reality
Good luck on the long journey towards understanding this isnt true, kid.

The problem with his argument is that Wendy doesn't exist anymore. She has become a fantasy just like Tinkerbell. The postmodern world has transformed Wendy into something that doesn't want to have a family anymore. What happens when Peter Pan does decide he wants Wendy, but she just wants someone or something else? What happens when Peter tries and tries and tries to persuade Wendy but she has in fact become a child herself?

...

>>thread

I lost my train of thought after the fourth line in your lecture, professor.

I think the gayest minds are on this site right now

If I were homeless I’d be wasting less resources. I deserve to be homeless, not the homeless people out there.

Austism?

Go back and read it again. There's going to be a test later; whether you like it or not.

She becomes the Accuser of rapists.

More women for Chad's. Go out and spread your genes Chad

tl;dr only chads breed, everyone else is genetical garbage that should have been aborted but is alive due to medicine.

There is literally nothing wrong with cosplay. It's fucking fun and you get to know dumb-cute animu girls and if you play your cards right, you can pound that pussy.

I believe it is the natural solution that emerged from current society.

>More males than females for first time in history
>Constant mass media shitting on males
>Constant interference in male dominated activities and jobs
>Massive bias against men in divorce and custody cases
>Yet men are still expected to do most of the work in relationships
>Positive discrimination favours women and minorities
>Larger % of pay check going to just paying bills, no time, energy or money to spend on hobbies other than immediate entertainment

Men have less control over their own lives than ever before, it's no wonder many just say "fuck it, it's your mess" and just check out.

>gay
Its summer already?

>waah! They actually ENJOY THEMSELVES! NOT WORK ENDLESSLY FOR HOURS AND WATCH PAINT DRY LIKE REAL ARYAN MEN! REEEEE
As much as I dislike SJW soyboys, not everyone who plays fucking vidya is one.

do these people have any other choice? look at em. theyre hideous. wouldve died in the ancient world where strength and health were needed to survive. theyre surplus beings. let them cope with the suffering of existence in peace you judgmental asshat.

That is very true, in a terrifying way

King of soy right here.

Fucking boring lmao

Jesus, you guys sound like old men talking about kids today. All man-children pastimes are very accessible and designed to be entertaining. It's not so different from couch potatoes but the difference here is that there is a social aspect to it that forces you to look upon it in every day society. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that people like having fun and a method that allows them to hang out with friends while not exercising or making any significant fiscal investments is reason enough for them to feel no need to move on. People claim it's antisocial but the fact of the matter is the social aspect is what compels them to remain. You have a group of friends who don't care about social status or conventional measures of success and the only people concerned for your future are your immediate family. Despite how banal their hobbies seem to you, they see the socially accepted hobbies as more of a vapid sheep-like following such as discussing game of thrones. They are completely unaware that they too are victims of such corporate manipulation. Back in the day, weirdos who played with toys were few and far between. This isn't due to fluoride in the water but rather the bar of entry being an actual hobby and not just a time killer. Assembling and procuring train sets or model airplanes is an arduous task that requires a certain amount of patience and dexterity. Today's shit is all about instant gratification while reducing the effort needed to play with friends.

They didn't grow up with any strong masculine male role models. I bet they'll all be childless and miserable.

/thread

i wonder if these women realize that body writing is a fetish. i truly believe many of these people indeed desire such denigration and subjugation. this also lends to the idea that soyboys and weak men are in fact the opposite of modern woman's desire in a mate. maybe its some kind of A/B testing, to see if a mate will be submissive or dominant, strong and a leader for her children. makes you think why women aren't having kids earlier, maybe they are looking for men they've essentially screamed are 'evil' for years, so men try to pander to the whims of these women and become softer, but being soft is for women and therefore a woman wouldn't ultimately be locked in on someone that essentially mimics the female role. so the rise of this new wave of feminism is maybe an organic reaction of strength to the vacuum of strength left by a generation of brainwashing and feminizing of boys to be more soft and like women. not saying this is our fault as men, but it makes some more sense why these extreme outliers exist. still good rule of thumb is to keep your dick away from anything remotely like these types, many of them are all just about being fashionable as an 'activist' or 'protestor' on social media.

>All man-children pastimes are very accessible and designed to be entertaining
yeah, for ages 8-12

I play video games, I watch anime, and you know what? I have other priorities in life. I probably am lucky to put 4 hours in a week to just gaming alone. And I usually just play DOTA since I am on my PC during most of my time off. Pic related is pretty rare to see mainly because most people have jobs, children, etc. Those people don’t represent us

>can't walk in state without running into violent minorities and manchildren
>going to court today because I got assaulted by illegal gang banger
maybe I shouldn't go to college now when I think about it

Bread and circuses have ended empires in the past

Why are you going to court? Do you live in Commiefornia? Are they trying to punish you for defending yourself?

Finish school in-state (cheaper tuition, or should be) and then get the hell out and help keep a red state red.

Men worked for centuries to establish an ordered society where women could play at being equal citizens in a safe environment. We succeeded, we deserve a little fucking holiday now while they fuck it up. We will have to start rebuilding it all soon enough.

Partially this, but also: modern men lack direction. In the old days there were things to be done - war-making, farming, blacksmithing. If there wasn't work where you were, you moved to the frontier and suddenly there was plenty. Where have these men to go, and what have they to do? Besides "contribute indirectly to society and receive vague benefits." A man likes to dare, try, and fail, because it's better than just sitting around - at least a game offers the simulation of that. Better than facing the fact that every day you punch in, do your time, and punch out to survive - robbed of your agency.

Does anyone have the version of this from /k/ asking "how many children have to die before we institute gun control" with Laeffy responding "all of them?"

>western games are trash Sup Forums told me

Fuck gaming as hobby, Im tired of buying another game only to realize the devs were assholes about game mechanics
>inb4 git gud kid I beat all the soulsborne games and got all achievements

according to uncle ted, he wasnt the bomber.

If you feel represented in what I described, know that there are other ways of interpreting what I stated. Suicide is on the same level of escapism than playing video games and other fantasy media.

You say you feel like a parasite, why is it? Why do you think you are a bad person? Face this questions and try to work on them. You got this, user.

I have never seen these loser weeb spergs irl. Ive seen capeshit and cuck wars geeks but never this. Where was this taken?

Fun fact:
Billy is a half jew/half native american from Georgia. He was also a porn star.
