My wife was impressed with my miniatures when I showed her honestly. There’s seriously more chicks that appreciate that shit than the internet would have you believe.
Can confirm. My fiance and I hit it off after an hour long conversation about skyrim lore.
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?
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.
The OP in the Tweet, Sh0eOnHead (https://www.youtube.com/user/Shoe0nHead), is a Youtuber who claims to be leftist but spends half her time dismantling leftist talking points. It makes a lot of people very polarized about her.
I dunno, that sounds pretty on par for leftist online discourse.
“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
That actually makes me like her. Being critical of your own views.
Nothing more that I despise than people who choose a side of an argument just because it's "their side". Have a back bone. It's okay to switch sides on certain subjects. Being an extremist is being a moron.
Everything is political now, haven’t you heard? The sun is woke and the moon is a nazi.
this is insane. the sun is a nazi, the moon is a woke antifa womynista
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.
You are aware you can be a leftist and still make fun of ridiculous people?
Yes I am a whore. That will be 10$/h for each mini you stared at
Fuck shoeonhead
What she do?
Basically a Dave Rubin style "larping liberal" that just repeats alt right wing talking points.
So economically left, socially conservative and gives people the feeling she is being disingenuous basically?
She has come out as pro LGBT, anti trans then pro trans, anti BLM and Pro BLM, pro gamergate, anti feminist then anti-anti feminist, pro Bernie, anti Trump but then Trump apologist. She was heavily involved in the right wing "rational skeptics" Youtube scene that was the forefather of todays alt right pipeline. She had a memorable episode listed in the wiki with one of them where she agreed with admitted pedophile milo yinnepolois that Leslie jones "looked like an ape," a very common racist trope that got the above pedophile banned from old twitter.
That sounds like a right winger chasing trends and public opinion, ala Grimes, not someone "socially conservative." Someome playing all sides, or at least trying to.
Anyway about it, it's someone who says they are a "social democrat" while repeating tons of alt right rhetoric. At best, shes very, very confused. At the worst, she just says what keeps making her money from conservatives.
Folks is it right wing to support Bernie Sanders?
Joe Rogan has also said he supports Bernie.
You think Joe rogan is left wing too just because he larped as a Bernie supporter at one point?
She's a centrist populist so the left and right both hate her (for different reasons).
Dang, this thread is proof that leftists who criticize the Democrats will be labeled alt-right
It helps when there's some obvious consistency to your beliefs. I've shat on Dems a lot since the last election, both here and on Bluesky, and mostly get upvotes and likes for it.
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
You gotta be shitting me.
There are men who 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.
So like these guys clearly don't have grandma's that quilt, or crosstich or paint, or play old people sports?
It explains the rise of male toxicity. No grandma to teach 'em to be kind.
They literally do not think of quilting or crossstich and such as hobbies. They're not "important" like woodworking or rebuilding engines.
This is why STEAM (STEM + arts) is important.
Jesus. So I talked with my Dad, cause I literally had no idea about this.
He said exactly this: "Then I think your mom and I did a pretty good job raising you. Yeah. What they really believe is that women can't have anything. Independence, rights, careers, hobbies, property, education, anything but a husband, children, and chores."
I knew about the remainder of the stuff, but hobbies seems so impossible to prevent. How would someone not get bored to death without them?
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.
Frat culture can cause brain rot \o/
(btw not all frat boys are like this ofc but it's pervasive)
