How I Will Cope With The Death of Geek Culture

[UintatheriumParticipant 1861]

Hi guys.

A while ago I found this video.

Type “Marvel SJW” into the YouTube search. You will find plenty of videos about this s~~~. The marvel superheroes have gone SJW. The Marvel universe is practically Steven Universe at this point. It is that bad.

Lately, I have been thinking about the greatest tragedy of the 2010’s. I’m talking about the tragic death of nerd culture. Nerd culture is technically still around … but it has nothing to offer us anymore. Women own nerd culture now. The Gamergaters bravely tried to fight back against this plague … but the general public have overwhelmingly sided with the SJWs. In the long run, we have already lost.

… and that might be a good thing.

Let’s think about nerd culture. It was better before the feminazi takeover … but it always had some serious problems. Quite a few nerds don’t know what parody is. Referencing something is not a parody. Anyone who has sat through Meet the Spartans knows what I am talking about. Most nerds don’t seem to understand what parody even is.

Then we have comic books. They are good in small doses … but some people get utterly obsessed. This isn’t good in my opinion. I, personally, think that modern culture is over-saturated with superheroes. We really need more movies about normal people in dire circumstances … like The Castaway. Tom Hanks was brilliant in that movie. F~~~ing Fantastic.

It gets worse. Nerd culture gave me unrealistic expectations when I was a kid. I thought that I would grow up to be a millionaire because nerd culture told me that. Adulthood has hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m hopelessly trapped in a job that I despise and I can only use the internet to express myself.

Then we have geek food. Quite a few geeks overuse junk food and become fatasses.

Here’s My Point: Geek culture was full of curses … and now women have them.

Yep … women have taken plenty of things from men. Many of those things were never even good. For example, I’m glad that there are a ton of chicks in the military. That way, less men are getting killed by terrorists.

Perhaps we should focus on the stuff we still have … like nature. Wild nature will always be a man zone. We also have poetry.

You read that right. Let me explain.

In ancient times, men traveled across the land and got into fights. They would eloquently speak about their adventures. The men who did this were called warrior-poets. Their poems were the first epic poems. Some of the oldest stores known to historians (such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Odyssey) are epic poems. The warrior-poets would make some stuff up … but this just made the epic poems better.

Was Odysseus a real person? I think that he was. I think that he was a real man who survived the battle of Troy and sailed across the Mediterranean in order to return home. He also made up the story of Polyphemus in order to make his story more interesting.

The word “poet” has some negative connotations noways thanks to emo kids. Perhaps the word could be taken back. Perhaps certain men will re-discover the warrior-poet lifestyle as the world turns to s~~~.

Eloquence is a masculine trait. Men are far more eloquent than women are. That’s the real reason why women often like poets. They aren’t attracted to his sentimentality. They’re just attracted to his eloquence. That’s why the same women who love poets will often chase after vulgar gangsta rappers. Male eloquence is what they are truly after.

If you feel that “geek culture” has cast you aside, then you needn’t worry. We males still have a ton of stuff that women can never take.

In the meantime, let’s all point and laugh as the comic book industry burns.

MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot

I miss read this as the death of Greek culture,but that is for another topic.

True geek culture still exists,just not in mainstream media.

For example,the latest bastardization of Star Trek didn’t phase me in the least because I live in re runs and fan funded movies.

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

I have been a geek all my life and I can say that the culture has only gone underground. They are really good at this stuff.

Feminists cannot kill geek culture – that is the same as trying to kill MGTOW.

The geeks have and will find alternative ways – this is a generational thing. The younger geeks will mostly be MGTOW and work past the system. That’s the way it always has been. Power to them!!

Geek Culture is not dead. Geek Culture has taken a vacation while the feminist movement finishes completely destroying itself.

If we are going to use comics as a barometer of Geek Culture, one much mention May 2016 DC Rebirth comic. Where after insulting the reader for five years and changing everything to where it sucks, those at DC did a 180 and fixed the problems they had, return the characters to the way they were and their sails have returned.

Now, some things have changed. The reality displaced married couple Clark and Lois have a young son named Jon. But, this is not the first time the married couple raised a child. Also, Clark and Lois being married is like undoing DC’s “One More Day”. And the mini-series that kicked off Clark and Lois getting the main Superman comic series sold like crazy.

Wonder Woman is likely the most interesting situation right now. DC’s solution with Diana was to declare that everything was a lie with her, with her storyline being she is trying to figure what is real about her life and what isn’t. Given how messed up Wonder Woman’s past is, this is likely sanest move DC could do on this matter.

Now, about Marvel. One should know what is selling. The fun comics. Along with a couple of other comics, such as The Dr. Doom Ironman comic. The Spider-man Renew Your Vows comic, the series is a timeline where Peter and MJ are married with a young daughter. So, of like a retake on the Spider-Girl series.

What those at Marvel forgot and what those at DC remembered are threes point.

1. Do not troll the readers. They are the paying customers.

2. Comics are suppose to be fun. Not necessarily funny. But, fun. Fun can be funny, dramatic, suspenseful, action filled. But, comics are suppose to be fun. Comics are not suppose to be weight down with political agendas.

3. Well written stories and nice art are needed. But, between stories and art, the stories are most important. Having a political agenda harms the story and can prevent the stories from taking the natural directions which will increase readerships and sales.

They haven’t killed the star wars comics.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

I really like the idea of taking back “poetry”. I mean, we have the perfect examples in Romantic and Baroque poets, such as Lord Byron or Lope de Vega. Well groomed and witty men who managed to compose works of literature that are reached our days as classics, all while charming women by the dozens, influencing the political and artistic landscape of their time, engaging in sword fights and more often than not spending some time in jail.

These men were cultured, clever and incredibly influential, and yet they managed to find the time to fight the authorities whenever they faced them, be womanizers, become extremely controversial and hang around with other brilliant minds at cafes. Their biographies could be mistaken with fictional works of literature, because these men hated the reality they lived in and had made it their goal to leave their footprint in this world.

We have much to learn from poets of old. They were anything but sissies.

Just remember that mankind will always create new superheroes. Superman and Batman are not the last superheroes that have been created… before them, eons ago, there was Sigurd the Dragon Slayer. Eons before him, there was Achilles. After Superman and Batman, there will be a new hero, eventually.

No matter how the SJWs attempt to smear contemporary literary heroes, men will keep on writing good fiction with admirable heroes.

(And women will keep on writing s~~~ty romance novels with trashy heroines and their mangina white knights).

Regarding comic books and action movies, bring back Sergeant Rock and The Haunted Tank.

I love those two stories. When I was younger those guys were my heroes rather than Batman and his ilk. Even Aias (Latin Ajax) really resonated with me for some reason, and still does: he was a traditional warrior, considered the second strongest at Troy, but when the world started to move towards venerating the man of words over action (Odysseus), he couldn’t adapt and saw suicide as the only honourable way out (see Ovid’s Metamorphosis if you’re interested). Always found that tragic.

I like to think we’re a long way from epic poetry being hijacked by SJW geek culture (but what if Gilgamesh were a two thirds woman, one thirds man transgender who sought eternal feminism beyond the edge of the world after the death of xer genderfluid lover instead? Much more inclusive and less triggering).

Being in my late 40’s it seems the whole geek culture thing definitely evolved into a “be careful what you wish for” scenario. Now this is just from my viewpoint as a casual geek, mostly just video games and scifi. Back in the 70’s-80’s we wanted chicks to be into it, and to be more accepted by society in general. What happened? What happened is exactly the same as what happens when a cool underground band finally gets radio play, the money corrupts, and it gets dumbed down or changed into something does that not resemble it’s former self. In this case it is one in the same, because marketing dictates that they get the widest audience possible. So there you have it in a nutshell, who do they have to dumb it down for and appease to most -> daffy women. Even in this day and age, a true geek chick is either heinous looking or bats~~~ crazy. After dating both types, I’d rather go for the less geeky superficial ones – because at least you know exactly what they are. I now go by a “separation of church and state” mentality with my geek stuff: I want a girl who isn’t really into it, but is cool with the fact that I am.

Sovereignty above all else.
