This explains a lot of current and past events and it also proves that if you want to absolutely tank an IP made for boys, you put women in charge of it, because they will inevitably steer it towards themselves and their own idiosyncrasies instead of respecting the fanbase and the IP it grew around. This isn't related only to toys but anything women touch and any field women enter into, because they're fundamentally, at a genetic level, beings which have evolved to be preoccupied with themselves and their children first, the rest doesn't matter, it never did and it never will, unless it serves them and their interests somehow. They cannot and will never understand men because they're not men, they don't understand the hero's journey because they're born with intrinsic value to society and don't have to earn it by becoming, they simply are, that being their greatest advantage and their biggest curse because they look up to people they consider men without ever looking down at men they don't consider people, and when they get in charge of an institution or in this case an IP which was created for men they don't consider people, they have zero tolerance for their protestations, because social class is the only hierarchy women truly understand.
@sickburnbro A little bit of me cries whenever i see the young uns conducting their not legal enterprises on text and Facebook messenger. No survival instincts.
@IAMAL_PHARIUS@Bad_Banner I can see the logic you're following and agree on a cold-blooded realpolitik level. Still wish it wasn't the poor bloody conscripts paying the blood price.
@sickburnbro The UK version of this is called RICU. They are the masterminds behind the "don't look back in anger" campaign after the Ariana Grande massacre. All arms of the media are commanded to go along with whatever chaff they put out in the wake of Islamic atrocities
@Flick@DMA@GolfCartLady@KK954@matty@Thusnelda I like a nice bit of bias confirmation dopamine as much as the next guy but I suspect the guy with the @fakegaypolitics handle might be a bit sus
@Thusnelda@KK954@matty@DMA@GolfCartLady Just having a quick flick through their site. Seems to be Fuentes America First aligned. I'll wait for confirmation from someone/anyone else before jumping on this.
