Has anyone else noticed double standards in entertainment? I have and it’s frustrating.

Glad you're noticing...

Just watched the new She Hulk on Disney plus, as she was one of my favourite cartoon characters when I was kid I was really looking forward to it.

I didn't dislike the episode as it were, but all of the crap that her cousin Bruce went through is constantly belittled and disregarded, whilst she's saying that she's "completely in control". I went to have a look on the marvel reddit and basically every comment that mentions the same thought as I have, is replied to as "fragile masculinity". Pisses me right off but I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different.

Ohh it goes far further than that. Take something like The Boys, it's called the Boys FFS, it's action and superheroes, etc. But step back and take a look at it. The men are either meek simps, evil, or both. The women are heroic, strong, smart, brave. There's a lot of male nudity including a lot of male genitals there's barely even tits shown on for the women.

When you start to see, you see it's everywhere and has been for a long time. Take Stargate Atlantis for example, same thing. All the leaders are women, the men all serve them.

I'm still waiting for obese woman abusers in films, still far to often, even with the all female reboots, it's heroic women fighting bad dudes. Just make the whole cast women if you want to do women driven films. Either way I'm tired of seeing a couple come on screen and it's the man who is always the abusive and controlling one, while the poor woman is just a victim.

Even if there are villianous women, they are in general well kept, attractive and highly intelligent. Meanwhile villianous men are often times stupid, ugly and/or practically useless these days.

Thor love and thunder - zeus accidentally blow off his cloths and all the girls faint. The female heros just sit back and don't help.

If the roles where reversed the movie would be labeled as sexism and misogynistic.

Chris hemsworth himself even came out and said he hates being topless in movies.

Also, kinda a rant about the big bang theorie; when leonard and penny eventually got together, they continue to play it off to others saying "he wore her down". As if she married him out of pity or anything. While leonard was much higher value then she. I mean, at the start of the series she whas nobody. She had no hobbies, no interest, couldn't even cook pasta, had the iq of a crayon, and whas a failed actress. Leonard whas a genius scientist with an overload of interesting stuff in his live. Anything good about Penny she only achieved after she met Leonard, and partially because of him. She didnt help him improve anywhere like that.

Secondly, have yall noticed that somewhere along the second season the series mentality with women basically changed? Like at the beginning there whas pretty much only penny, who whas at the time absolutly stupid and manipulative. Altough ofcourse this does not represent an average woman or something, it did lead to a funny dynamic. I have no proof of this, but i'm pretty surr feminists must have complained about the fact that the only woman in the series is like this, because out of almost nowhere she suddenly became much nicer, less stupid, and another woman joined the series that whas a genius too.

It's actually all pervasive. Every movie, every show. Over the last decade it has been getting extra trashy and obvious.

LateralThinker13 · 2022-08-19T08:21:38+00:00

Anyone else can think of anything? I know there’s more but these came to mind for me today.

People like to say, "Oh, but you should have seen it! X female character was killed in that show, how misogynistic!"

To which you can invariably reply, "And how many nameless, meaningless male troop/cop/frat boy/disposable deaths happened in the same show?" Because for every female death/trauma we're supposed to care about, we don't even register the dozens of male ones. Because men are disposable.

Eastwood96 · 2022-08-19T09:20:32+00:00

Yep, SVU is certainly the king of double standards. The detectives (Benson, Stabler and Amaro, in particular) often decide men are guilty with no evidence against them, while giving their full sympathy and support to women who rape, torture, sodomise, castrate, murder and make false accusations.

Anime pretty much says it all. While it’s probably one of the best mediums I ever came across, there’s still things I can’t get over.

Female-on-male violence is always treated as comedic relief. Male-on-female violence however; we’d better reserve it for the darker genres. I mean, they just had to show how blind they are when it comes to violence between the two genders by portraying the seriousness of one while treating the other as a joke. No wonder why people think female-on-male violence is not a problem.
Female-on-male sexual misconduct is always treated as comedic relief. Male-on-female sexual misconduct however; we’d better reserve it for the darker genres. I mean, they just had to show how blind they are when it comes to sexual misconduct between the two genders by portraying the seriousness of one while treating the other as a joke. No wonder why people think female-on-male sexual harassment, assault, abuse and rape is not a problem.
A guy walks in on a girl who’s exposed and he’s a pervert. Swap places around and the guy is still the pervert. Of course he’s still the pervert because, reasons.
A girl has a wardrobe malfunction in hindsight. Every guy within her vicinity is a pervert while she becomes the poor victim. Swap their genders and the girls within the guy’s vicinity are the suddenly the poor victims. All while he becomes a sex offender or something.
And to add to all that, might as well talk about how anime makes fun of false rape accusations by also using them as comedic relief.
There’s almost always the guys who are portrayed as horny sex machines who make a big deal out of sex, lust over every next girl they see, give all the other guys a bad image and whatever else you can think of. I mean, of course we’re nothing but sex-driven machines that base everything around sex. Meanwhile, every girl is straight-up asexual. Because hetero-,homo-, bi- and girls of every other sexuality are extinct apparently.
The guys are almost always portrayed as dysfunctional retards who can’t get shit done and easily get outperformed by a single girl. Because you know, the male brain is extremely insufficient.
And of course, we have all these anime where we have future organizations or some shit hiring school girls to do combat jobs. In other words, they’re using child (girl) soldiers as a fighting force. And of course they had to be portrayed as more skilled than the more experienced adults, who surprisingly are all grown men. I mean, a school girl destroying a SEAL Team? School girls destroying crime syndicates? School girls going on naval missions? No time to read a list. Approved!

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if anime or a certain portion of anime was secretly feminist propaganda or some shit.

Xmen: Cyclops cheated on by Jean Grey every ten minutes because she saw Wolverine and had him simp for her for decades. Writers continuously do him bad.

You haven't mentioned when Cyclops is being mentally abused by Emma Frost into sex when he suffer from grievance, people actually blame Cyclops the one for being unfaithful

If the gender were reversed, people would call that victim blaming and Emma a rapist

Mainstream media is one of the most toxic things a man can fill his mind with.

Your mind should be filled with content that uplifts men, and makes you realize that it is us men who built the world and tamed the wilderness.

Here’s a video to lift your spirits. Let me know your thoughts. I want to inspire men to stop being beta.

Welcome to the Red Pill.

IMO it's only a double standard if you can "proof" that the opposite would not be tolerated.

In this case it is setting bad role models ?

AadithNarayanan · 2022-08-19T09:42:51+00:00

Euphoria: every macho guys are secretly gay. Mental hospitals are bad, trans good.

Lord_of_Entropy · 2022-08-19T11:50:04+00:00

I noticed this occurring decades ago. It really hit home after I had kids. Most, if not all, movies and kids entertainment have a strong capable girl, and a moronic doofus boy character. That’s not the image I want my son, or daughter, to see. I want both to be portrayed realistically. That means that at times both will handle a situation or both will cry,etc.

TheSnesLord · 2022-08-19T09:26:49+00:00

Sexualization/objectification/nude scenes. Since feminism polluted the industry, it's now unacceptable to put women in those kind of scenes for the male audience; but perfectly fine to put men in those kind of scenes for the female audience.

The latest example is of course that scene in Thor: Love and Thunder. From what I heard, even the actor (Chris Hemsworth) said he was uncomfortable with doing such a scene but the director ~~forced him to~~ insisted he do it because the female audience will love it, and also because it's what actresses had to do in the past.

ShubNiggurath20 · 2022-08-19T14:44:30+00:00

U noticing it too late.

I have been noticing this for years.

Recently, they came to mindset misandry sells very well. Some men (Spineless simps and Pervert cucks) love to see that kinda shit.

Laniekea · 2022-08-19T03:55:20+00:00

Then, he’s sort of the bad guy when he dated someone else some other season and she gets ‘territorial’.

So there was this character named Zach...

SayItAgainButBetter · 2022-08-19T09:14:30+00:00

For the first season of big bang theory, the only woman was a shallow and mean woman with no character development at all. They didn't even bother to give her a last name.

RedcloudGeorge · 2022-08-20T01:26:57+00:00

See it everywhere. Look at any media and you'll see women telling men what they're allowed to do. Women are the ones defining right and wrong. The "Patriarchy" is a feint. Even when men are in positions of authority, women--through upbringing, through lifelong conditioning--are in their heads, telling them what values to base their decisions on. When women are oppressed or exploited, it's because it's what certain women want, maintaining a world where those who play the game right get to carve out a place of superiority over others. It's about having more than others do.

I'm telling you, women's greatest enemy is other women. Feminism has tipped the female hand a bit, and note how many women have actually opposed it. Push things too far, and the danger increases that men will catch on to how they've been conditioned to be on a leash; to the utter futility of the endless pursuit of being a "good person." How being a "good person" somehow always involves doing what a woman tells you to, and how you're never really sure if you're achieving it unless one tells you that you are.

It's social media that are quickly pushing things to the extreme. Give the average person the ability to make themselves media stars and reach audiences, and you see how they can't help using it to take and take and take some more. It throws the whole game into sharp relief. The conditioning intensifies, and it can only get so severe before men notice and recognize the leash for what it is.
