Cracked used to be so funny and original. Now it's just horrible clickbait, Buzzfeed-level horseshit.

Shyness is a "bad ass" survival trait because it keeps you from getting your ass kicked by stronger males! How manly! (Also, females who mate with shy men are "realistic"!)

Cracked.com was once great. Now articles by JF Sergant, Adam Todd Brown and the new crew are pretty much this kind of SJW blue pill tripe. Their podcast is great though.

Years ago I used to read Cracked not just for the humor but for the information. No matter how lax, the guidelines they had for making your articles at least half-assedly researched meant you could give some of it credence and links to the source let you read for yourself.

Slowly I noticed their articles slipping in quality. What was once a series of stories about the "badass Rambos of war you've never even heard of" became the "official" Zoe Quinn side of the Quinnspiracy.

Not only was I tired of hearing about the entire damned thing at that point, regardless of who was right and wrong, the fact they "scored the exclusive" from her as a means to drum up on that whole "it's popular on the internet right now!" traffic just highlighted something I had known for awhile: Cracked had jumped the shark. It had been going downhill for me personally for awhile, but that just brought it all into sharp contrast.

A couple years ago I was thinking about writing for them to "break into" comedy and writing online. Today, I haven't been to the site in half a year and you couldn't pay me to go back.

"Everyone is happier if they have someone to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both. This is not only the Beta Male strategy for survival, but the basis for capitalism, democracy, and most religions." A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore.

Redefinition is one the favourite tactics of the Alinskyite to shift power to themselves

I guess this quote is more pertaining to this topic " While Alpha Males are often gifted with superior physical attributes—size, strength, speed, good looks—selected by evolution over the eons by the strongest surviving and, essentially, getting all the girls, the Beta Male gene has survived not by meeting and overcoming adversity, but by anticipating and avoiding it."

You could have just said hamster is on crack and saved yourself some time. Watch what women do, not what they say. She wants you to think beta is badass so she can dead bedroom you while sleeping with alphas and then take half your shit.

Being uninteresed is often mistaken for shyness. Like a fat girl calling a guy shy because he is not talking to her. That's happened to me more than a few times.

Ever since Elliot Rodger that site has turned into a huge male apologist fest. It's like they're trying so hard to look like the betas women want them to be.

TheDankster · 2014-11-03T20:40:48+00:00

The ease with which these fucking shills adopt a 'scientific' tone is mind-boggling. It's simply infuriating. Thank god for red-pilled intellectual enlightenment, however bitter and painful it's been.

"Shyness is a "bad ass" survival trait because it keeps you from getting your ass kicked by stronger males!" Too bad the shyest is more likely be attacked Edit: Just read the article and it stated there that these WERE survival traits and that is true.

There's nothing wrong with crying at the appropriate moments.

gonjinetik · 2014-11-02T17:08:06+00:00

Look at the upvotes and downvotes. The writers at cracked know their audience

Listen to the podcasts that have David Wong in them. He makes you want to reach through your speakers and strangle him.

Also I think this may be just pure coincidence but there was a dramatic drop in articles from Seanbaby since Wong took over.

Just the title screams pusedo-junk science. Yes it is even worse than junk science and that is an achievement for Cracked right there.

"Crying is a "bad ass" way to draw the sympathy of others to help you because you're too weak to help yourself, so that makes you stronger because... well, you know, things..."

fuck yea it is,while we're at it anal sex is totally manly

MagnanimousGenius · 2014-11-03T08:55:25+00:00

Surely this is a satire?

But alas, it's not, and I'm now going to go cry myself to sleep. How bad ass

NS_white · 2014-11-03T01:46:14+00:00

This entire article is nonsense. All "bro-science" type logic.

Rise80 · 2014-11-03T02:26:16+00:00

I don't think that word means what she thinks it means.

Let's be real for a second. Our ancestors did not live in our society today - they did what they could to survive and propagate and that's about it. These beta behaviors allowed our predecessors to do just that. Maybe calling it "badass" is a bit of a stretch, but who knows - maybe it was back then.
