    I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

      I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.

      She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.

        Being anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven’t seen since furries.

      My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:

      In my living room at the time:

      All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

      70% sure she just married me for the TV.

      My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

        I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I’ve been living under a rock. Is this about “incels” or this sigma thing?

        Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren’t nice!

          Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.

          Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

            Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).

            I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I’ll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.

          You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a “nice guy”.

          Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.

    a bit strange but I don’t really see the problem tbh. Are these references I’m not getting? I recognize joker and thanos.

      The Thanos poster has been “alpha-male”-ified and the joker is a cringe incel reference. The fact you don’t know is a good thing.

          Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.

          Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.

          So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That’s really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.

    This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.

    The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎

    Any future partner better match my energy LOL
