    Wait, do you think women would be impressed by my hand painted warhammer figurines because that would change everything

    Wait that doesn’t make sense. Warhammer 40k minis are cool, and she is not.

    Playing tank & mech battles with grown men is interesting, and she is not.

    Is she implying that men aren’t interested in anything? Including women? Because I find women very interesting. I might be single, but that’s because right now I’d rather paint minis and work out then have conversations with a shoe.

      She’s showing the double standard that (some) men believe women don’t have hobbies

          Yes, seriously. They think that women will only engage in something to get male attention. Makeup and fashion? They do it to be beautiful and to impress men. Sports and video games and other hobbies men might like? They’re faking it, to impress men. (Women must prove they have genuine interest usually by naming off facts or other tasks.)

          It used to be a lot worse, but that attitude is still there.

          I know a few women who don’t. They tend to be the workaholic types who go home at 10pm to a lean cuisine and a Netflix subscription. I know a few men I can describe similarly.

    Can someone please enlighten an ignorant Brit on why people are commenting about leftists and Democrats in response to a screenshot of a somewhat lame joke about 40k?

        “I’m a democrat/liberal, but…” is a tried and true method of conservative dismantling liberal talking points. Sure, as liberals we are far more openly critical of our leadership than conservatives are of theirs, and we regularly voice those concerns. But that isn’t our entire discourse, and we just as openly support liberal policy and leadership where it’s deserved. If someone’s entire schtick revolves around criticizing democrats or liberal policy without supporting good policy or people, they’re not liberal. They’re just a waste of time.

          I agree with what you said but it doesn’t apply to Sh0eOnHead, she does spend time talking about real leftist politicians and policies

      The user who tweeted the take is a political commentator, or maybe influencer would be a better term. There’s a Wikipedia page about her that explains it better than I can.

      Basically she rose to fame as an anti-feminist during Gamergate, but kinda also seems to have progressive views on some other topics which have given her a weird platform because basically no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on there’s something for anyone to agree with her on, and something they’d want to cancel her over.

      It’s it a grift if she actually believes what she says? I get the vibe from her that she’s sincere but has a bunch of bad opinions and isn’t smart or introspective enough to realize or at least realize quickly.

        Could anyone fill me in on what she believes? The post here seems to be sarcasm given the context (I remember of how she talks in videos)?

          She “believes” whatever will get her the most YouTube engagement at the time she makes the video.

    Shoe just shits on people for engagement. She doesnt have any core belief other than “I am the smartest one in the room”

      She definitely made a name for herself based on criticizing vocal minorities in groups, but 1. This is a joke Tweet and 2. Her core beliefs are actually leftist which seems to scare Democrats

        Leftist? Her most recent video is her shitting on women as a whole group and straw-manning “dating strategies” as a way to drive more chauvinistic engagement. And the “its just a joke bro” defense is so hackneyed im surprised to hear anyone trot it out in good faith.

          But this is very obviously a joke. It’s making fun of people who say the same thing about women. It isn’t a Schrodinger’s Douchebag situation, she’s clearly joking whether you like the joke or not.

          So hypothetically, if I supported Bernie Sanders, voted Hillary Clinton and Biden, plan to vote Democrats in 2028, but make a video strawmanning women, am I alt-right?

              Yeah, I agree. It’s totally unfair to tell someone else who they are or what they believe, like you’re the judge of such things.
