And also there was (And still is probably) a signficant child and woman hating segment of that subculture

    If you want to be into that stuff, fine! have kids! It’s what they’re for ! You can buy all the legos and visit all the dinosaur museums you want and nobody can utter a peep about it. That’s why everyone got creeped out by Micheal Jackson having that Neverland ranch with a carousel and all that. His dad had five kids, for Pete’s sake!

      Te reason people got creeped out by Michael Jackson was the pedophilia. The fact that the amusement park stuff was a way to lure in kids is the problem, not that he liked carousels.

      Wasn’t there a struggle session about this like two and a half years ago? Are there really still Hexbears who have these sorts of deeply weird brainworms around not letting people enjoy cartoons? Honestly this is straight up the weirdest form of the brainworm I’ve seen. It reads like “Successful BREEDERS will be rewarded with the right to play with legos. Please be good and BREED.” wtf

        At age 11 you will put behind childish things like running, jumping, crawling, rolling, and holding more than one hand above chest height. You will replace them with gender performance so as to improve your Darwinian fitness, and you will enlist cars and other motorized components to move your body, which you will keep in a narrow photogenic posture at all times. Your only sanctioned experience of a childlike state will be through alcohol.
