I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean, the 1st one. This shit is from 2006. 2006. Literally 8 years ago.

This is crazy, literally insane. What's worse is that probably every movie for the past 10 or 15 years has done this, reinforced these roles.

SHIT man. This is so subconscious it's crazy.

"Noble" guy:

Infatuated with girl
"Name of true love!!!!!!"
Does incredibly stupid shit
Risks his life and is willing to die for her repeatedly, despite never having kissed her
Will do everything for her
Shy at first

"Other" guy

Selfish
Witty, charming, manipulative
Tries to repeatedly sell the girl for his own ends
Fucks lots of girls
No emotional relationships
Confidence, arrogance, cockiness

Think about this for a second. My 13 year-old brain in 2006 was obviously searching for identity more than anything else. One guy is seen as "Sleazy". The other guy is seen as "Noble". Which one do I want to be like? The noble one!!!!!111.

He'll do ANYTHING for the girl!!! He'll die for her!! Shit. Girls must be worth a lot!! She's beautiful, so that must mean that she's worth dying for, worth everything for.

That other guy is just so scummy.

But females, women, girls, are learning this shit, too. They're searching for archetypes, role models, too. Here is where it gets fucking crazy:

These movies are made for boys, men, betas, alphas, and women. The woman, the female character, is literally made to appeal to females, and so that girls can identify with her, relate to her.

The fucking crazy part is that, through the series, it is literally textbook TRP. It is emotionally addicting to females. Meaning, I remember in the 3rd movie:

girl in immense, great love relationship with the "noble guy". Engaged.
separated from noble guy by chance
dangerous, naughty, selfish, cocky guy wants a piece of her
dangerous, naughty, selfish, cocky guy wants to fuck her
she's in love with noble guy, and engaged to him, but flirts and tries to kiss dangerous guy
she feels irresistable attraction towards him, and is literally fantasizing about him
compass (some shit that points to whatever you want most) repeatedly points to him, directly at him
she's in denial about it, hides it from other people, but knows she feels irresistable attraction towards him

Now, I don't know the causal relationship. I don't know if I already had this archetype, this role model, beforehand, and this movie just enhanced it. I don't know if girls LEARN this from movies, or if it's already there genetically. I just know that this shit is crazy, and that I never noticed it before.

And I know that, it definitely, definitely, definitely amplified this idea that "love!!" "Worth everything!!" "beautiful!!" "I'll do anything for you".

BUT FUCKING WAIT

THERE'S MORE

THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROSSING SERIES OF ALL TIME.

BUT YO.

TITANIC. The 2nd highest grossing film of all time?

He DIES for her.

AVATAR. Highest grossing of all time.

DARK KNIGHT RISES.

Girl
Dating a popular, well-known, lawyer
Secretly in love with protagonist

Strings both along
The entire "prize" for the protagonist is getting to be with the girl
He's irrationally, intensely obsessed, and risks dozens of lives repeatedly, since he's "in love"

Wow! One girl I "love" must be worth hundreds of other people! I mean, shit, BATMAN is fighting for it!

Wolf of Wall Street. Hunger Games. Twilight (x10. Risks his entire "soul". Two guys.). These are just the ones I can consciously think of.

Literally hundreds of these have happened. As childhood imprints, too.

Think about this for a second.

Our culture has literally gone our entire lives repeatedly being shown male role models, and repeatedly believing the GIRL is the "prize", and that we should give up everything we possibly can for her, and that they're priceless diamonds.

GIRLS have gone their ENTIRE LIVES being institutionalized that their favorite characters, their role models, are always in love with 2 guys, and that it's totally okay to cheat if it "feels right"!!111.

As a result, girls almost never get satisfying, alpha behavior. They fucking crave it, there is no model for it. Who the fuck is there? There is NO fulfillment of the actual stuff that gets their unconscious pumping and horny. They cheat more than ever before, and expect the world.

Men, when they'd otherwise be normal, become total slaves, give their Love™, affection, and kindness, and wonder why their girlfriend took my dick on the side, or why their marriages fizzle out. Any spontaneous feeling of deep affection for a thing with a vagina isn't just nature making you appreciate a person - no! It's LOVE and love means sacrificing everything - money, happiness, time, kids - for the one girl, since she's The One™.

Fuck.
