What are your thoughts on the manchild epidemic?

It feels like it's being pushed more and more that it's okay for men in their 20s/30s not to grow up

Dunno, but fuck Jurassic World and geek culture

I just got a job man, I'm doing my best. Stop making fun of me

You’ll unironically have a much better bread discussing this where it belongs on Sup Forums or /r9k/.

I think society is failing boys and young men.

>feels
Have you seen the reviews for justice league being spammed yet? It 100% is being pushed

>"A sweet-faced boy of twelve told me proudly that he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times? I said, 'do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?' He burst into tears. I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities"

>"I don't think they are making [comic book movies] an elevated art form, I think it's still just Batman running around in a stupid cape.. It's for kids, it's adolescent in its core. "

Your on Sup Forums literally one of the most manchild friendly websites only beaten by reddit

Nerd culture is the product of a late capitalist conspiracy, designed to infantalize the consumer as a means of non-aggressive control.

Who in his right mind was hyped for Jurassic World? One of the worst movies I''ve seen in the last years.

Generation of men raised by divorced parents + increase in consumerism + lack of plentiful traditionally masculine jobs

Why is liking capeshit and nostalgia bait "not growing up" yet it's considered perfectly normal for grown men to obsess over the sports that they've been playing and watching since childhood?

>implying sportsball isn't for manchildren as well

It's the media's way of getting people to pay for their products. They encourage the behavior, geeks and all, because it just means they profit more. I think it's fucking ridiculous. I just saw Thor: Ragnorak, and I have no idea what the appeal is.

So it's the fault of the Baby Boomers?

What are your thoughts on the repost epidemic?

It feels like OP's pushing more and more to shitpost the exact same handful of threads.

>have a job
>pay taxes and volunteer when I can
>I'm still an asshole because I like cartoons, actions movies and video games in my free time
Fuck you. My time, my life, my hobbies.

>I just saw Thor: Ragnorak
ur part of the problem m8

Absolutely

What's great about these is that many of them predate the awful capeshit epidemic of the past decade. I wonder what they'd have to say now.

>The raw emotions of competition.
>The underdog success stories and last second victories.
>The thousands of hours training, preparing for the event
>infantile

Whoah

Moviepass, man. I see as many movies as I can, to counter-balance when I have to go see another shitty superhero movie all my friends tell me to go watch. Fucking sick of it.

>he thinks sports are "real" and not rigged

first one resonates with me the most, the rest is just too angry for me.

But yeah. Fuck capeshit. Fuck reddit being abused as the platform for nerd culture.

Fuck you if you saw capeshit just because theres "nothing else."

Its pathetic. Hollywood is a big zombie. Miyazaki is right, its just a hobby. and the kikes are doing whatever to keep it going - not inject life into it.

Liking capeshit is also considered normal. But that doesn't mean they can't both be infantile.

Though to be fair, I'm not sure anyone who uses this board can tell someone else to grow up.

i want to fuck that mom

>epidemic

It's existed forever, Mozart used to shit-post to his own family members, back when "shit posting" literally meant using the postal service to talk about shit.

>A letter of 5 November 1777 to Mozart's cousin Maria Anna Thekla Mozart is an example of Mozart's use of scatology

"Well, I wish you good night
But first shit in your bed and make it burst.
Sleep soundly, my love
Into your mouth your arse you'll shove."

you can rearrange words all you want, and make capeshit sound exactly like that. it is still the same

Manchild epidemic? That's what they're calling it?

No, that's not the problem. The problem is men are greatly downwardly mobile.

Generally speaking white people don't like to have children they cannot afford. White women will not mate with a male that doesn't make enough to provide a children with their basic needs and a few luxuries.

Incomes have remained static since the 90s and costs have increased four-fold. A 40k income that could support a family of 4 in the 90s, now barely supports just yourself.

So women like to look at these downwardly mobile men and pretend they're manchildren, reject them, and then whine that there's few "real men" left.... ie men who can make enough to support a family, men rich enough to be "worthy".

Men have always retained interest in the childish shit they grew up on. Most kids of the 60s still love Looney Tunes and Rocky and Bullwinkle... this doesn't make for "manchildren", they use that term to label unsuccessful men. And though we're typically doing jobs as complex as our fathers and even putting in more hours; hard work just doesn't pay off like it once did in the US.

You're describing the athlete and not the viewer here

Professional sports were never primarily intended for kids.

kill them all

srsly man this. i got a job, a small apt, and im not obese.

How many times are you going to post this exact same thread with the exact same text and image? Is this a bot? An autist? A conspiracy to gin up conversation around approved topics? There's a whole set of these same threads popping up all the time, what the fuck is the deal with this?

>Simon Pegg
Unabashed Star Trek fan who starred in and filmed Star Trek movies because he wanted to ever since he was a kid.

>Alec Guinness
Eh, I can agree with that. Seeing a movie more than once is kinda dumb, unless you forget parts, or want to enjoy watching it with someone else. Occassionally, willful second viewings are perfectly fine. Third willful viewings, rarely.

>Cronenberg
Coming from the guy who made Existenz. Next.

>Friedkin
Fair point. I personally find spandex costumes to be pretty gay looking as well, which is why they changes Batman's costume in the later films.

>Alejandro Iñárritu
I agree to an extent. There's no "cultural genocide". There's a sincere lack of depth and moral dilemma or character in the majority of not just Marvel films these days, but films in general as well.

>Alejandro Jodorowsky
An insane dipshit. Next.

>Alan Moore
Another, slightly less insane, auteur who willfully acts like a dipshit.

People will produce for subsistence or for a society which they feel they belong to. If there is no belonging, and subsistence is provided for them, they will prefer not to produce.

>White women will not mate with a male that doesn't make enough to provide a children with their basic needs and a few luxuries.

You've clearly never been to a trailer park.

This. I'm too embarrassed to wear or own anything that could lump me in with the R&M watching numale geek crowd. Shit is cancerous

Guys that get into sports get really into stats and numbers too, it’s a bit like an RPG. I’d honestly say it’s more autistic than childish.

>People will produce for subsistence or for a society which they feel they belong to

Mmmm, no, women just choose not to fuck them.

I admit that I can "turn my brain off" and enjoy cape movies.
But yeah, these are all correct.
When the original superman was made, it was just a fun little flick.
Now days you make a superman film and it's meant to start a trillion dollar cash cow - not just from movie tickets, but from the merchandise, spin off content, and inevitable remakes in 20 years.
Capitalism is a cancer to art and there is no excuse for the manchild epidemic.

>What are your thoughts on the WHITE manchild epidemic?

fixed that for you. most of the time it's white "men" who do this shit, and I'm not surprised. They automatically remove themselves from the gene pool. Which is good.
