Edit: some have asked why I made this thread, and the answer is that I had a realization and thought he'd make a good case study of the leftist/feminist beta male from a TRP perspective.

Here's the tl;dr:

  • Leftist politics
  • Soft physical characteristics
  • Wifed up a wall-hitting single mother

Now on to the meat of this thread:

First up, just look at the picture! Compare this picture of /u/Wil to this guy from the Heartiste article.

This explains so much regarding his political leanings (lefty libtard SJW). And then there's the fact his wife is older a la the regulars at /r/relationships complaining about lack of sex, cheating wives, and so on. I bring this up because it's a common trait among "beta" males to have older significant others who wear the pants in the relationship, and all of the relationship strife that often results in.

Don't get me wrong, she's not bad looking for an older woman, but with Wil's status as an actor and whatnot, he could have (and still could) easily get much younger, hotter women to have a relationship with if he put his mind to it. My guess is she got when the getting was good and had her fill of Alpha Fucks and locked him down as her Beta Bucks, as is common when older women settle down with younger men of high means. Case in point, she was around 30 when they married which is prime wall-hitting age. And then there's this fact (from wiki):

Wheaton married Anne Prince on November 7, 1999[56] and lives in Arcadia, California with her and her two sons from a previous relationship.

Need I go on? Okay, I will. Digging into their blogs and learning about what a shitbag the bio-dad apparently is/was, it just looks more and more like he was her Alpha Fucks. Anyway, I'm sure there are more correlations, but these are just the first ones that jumped out at me. To be perfectly honest I'm kind of embarrassed I never put this together sooner.

More:

Met her in 1995 and had her and her 2 kids move in with him in only 9 months of dating.

Ex-husband is a shitbag 1

Ex-husband is a shitbag 2, with a side of 'I'm losing attraction to my man because he can't get his shit together and land a j-o-b'. And here's a familiar story:

I had dated some pretty unpleasant guys before him so it took me several months to get used to him just being what I felt was “normal.” He was normal as far as not using drugs or being an alcoholic, or trying to start arguments with me or call me names. He was just a good guy with a good family and a great group of friends. He loved and appreciated the person I was and the kids I had brought into this new relationship. It felt so foreign to me, being with a guy who was like this. We were six months into dating when I finally let my guard down and accepted that he wasn’t pretending to be anything other than what I saw before me and that I could trust him completely.

Translation: I'm hot, oh look, Chad Thundercock and all his buddies want some ass! Here boys, have fun. Wait, what? Oh damn, now I've got two kids, little means, and my dreams of acting are crashing down around me. I know just what to do! Let's find a beta bucks to support me!

Conclusion: There's a lot that can be learned from this in terms of what NOT to do in life, and how political leanings tend to track to men's lack of physical fitness, and so on. I see a lot of similarities between him and people I know in real life who are themselves shitlibs, including a friend of someone I used to know who writes for Feministing or Jezebel. Like Wil, that guy physically looks like a cream puff complete with the shitlib facial expression. I think it tracks to this thread, that there's something innate that leads people into these types of political leanings and social stance.

People naturally gravitate towards whatever ideology their ego is prepared to accept.

Translation: Fatties and weak beta men will gravitate towards the left/feminism because it suits them and lack the inner belief they can do better. I think this tracks to why there's so many personality disordered people and those with various degrees of body dysmorphic disorder who identify with feminism and hold to feminist politics.
