This is a really good video on the topic.

After watching this video. The title automatically popped up in my head.

Despite the long and history of being associated with Magic in mythology. Vampires and Werewolves have always seem tricky to me. On one hand, they are the result of Magic in some settings. While on the other hand, they have specific gimmicks that comes off as superpowers in the same settings though. For example, a Werewolf main abilities are claws and bitting. These are basically power kits, just like mutants in X-Men. Almost similar to a mutant with a fire or telekinesis based gimmick.

And of course it's not just Vampires and Werewolves. You have Skinwalkers, Wendigos, and so many other supernatural creatures that are Earth-based humaniods too.

Again my point here. Is that supernatural creatures are confusing in this context. Since supernatural creatures have traits that could fit into both the superpower or magic category.

The social issues are Political Division, War, AI, and human trafficking.

To make this premise more specific. This question is for superhero worlds that have multiple power systems (I.E. Marvel and DC).

But to not make everything as bloated as Marvel and DC though. Let's limit it to four power systems.

Mutants: Where the superhumans have extremely diverse abilities, but their weakness is Kryptonite though. And they have no reality warping abilities.

Wizards: Where the superhumans can create energy constructs like Green Lantern, probability manipulation like Domino, portal manipulation like Blink, and Wizards can stop time for 3 mins. But their abilities are limited to objects though, similar to wands in Harry Potter.

Cyborgs: Where the superhuman abilities are Nanotech based, so their abilities can pretty much be anything. But EMP waves, hacking, wealth, and dangerous procedures are huge limitations for Cyborgs though .

Savants: Superhumans who have Taskmaster photographic memory, and Ty Lee from Avatar pressure point abilities. While also being 2x stronger, durable, faster, and agile than normal humans (have 2x endurance and 2x healing too). The biggest weakness is that these superhumans are slightly stronger than normal humans.

With that being said, which of these social issues would be the most insane in this superhero world.

Aba and Preach just react to a bunch of clips of people strawmaning the podcast HG was on in this video.

Any time someone talks about the male loneliness epidemic. Everyone is quick to say that these men are just blaming women for being losers or they want to SA women.

But again in the title. The same people are still hostile with the alternative. What I mean here.

I know that MGTOW had some bad actors. But that wasn't the only reason why people hated MGTOW though. They hated the concept of MGTOW, because it went against the status quo of male gender roles. Any conversation about men decentering women will get people called misogynistic or dangerous.

It's like a catch-22 situations. Where men are demonize for both cold approaching women and not cold approaching women. Women say they hate it when men approach them, because men are violent. While the same women also complaining about men not interacting with them anymore.

In this case, the male loneliness epidemic are the creepy men women don't want approaching them. While a MGTOW epidemic, would be the desirable men they want approaching them.

I have gotten pushback numerous times from feminists by saying men shouldn't based their happiness on relationships. And somehow that's an extreme take. Especially coming from the people who think society wants to force women to date incels. Getting upset when "leave women alone" advice is given to the gender they hate. Oh the irony.

In conclusion, im tired of male loneliness epidemic conversations. Because those conversations just invite too many strawmans. At least with a "MGTOW epidemic" we can still exposed their hypocrisy or cognitive dissonance.

Superhuman serial killer.

Superhuman terrorist.

Superhuman unethical Ceo.

This may seem off-topic. But it's not though, when you think about it.

Whenever this topic of cakims Feminism comes up. I always think of the stigma my bisexual men have. Because that is something that strengthen my argument even more. Since we truly do live in a world, where it's considered empowering when women step outside their gender roles. While it's still considered a social taboo when men do the same.

The fact that men still face more stigma for being bisexual, just proves my point. And on top of that you have all the liberals that use terms like gay, broke, and virgin as insults on men they don't like.

What if the women who gets the ick from bi men, are also the women who get the ick from men showing emotions too?

My point here is. If a woman has a narrow idea of male sexuality. She is far more likely to have a narrow idea of male gender roles in general. For examples, more likely to expect men to pay on dates, be a provider, be a protector, or approach her first.

And according to studies, most women don't want to date bi men.

So this is not a huge leap or slippery slope either. If a feminist woman think a man is weak or feminine taking d up the ass or sucking D. What is stopping that feminist woman from also thinking a man is not manly for not being a provider, protector, assertive, confident, stoic (only with it's own emotions, not her emotions though). If a feminist woman view men as weak in one aspects. She is more likely to view a man as weak in all or most aspects too. And again according to the studies number for women who get the ick by bi men is extremely high.

So in a way. Progressive women opinions on bisexual men is a great litmus text, to see how red-pill they are when it comes to male gender roles.

In conclusion: I think the stigma against bi men is our best argument for feminism cakism. Heck the stigma even extends to straight men too. When it comes to men being bi curious or dating trans women.

With tech, you have to explain why the tech is so advanced, and accessible.

And with martial arts, you have to explain how a normal human body can pull of these feats.

And of course the character can be a combination of both. The question is asking what should the character rely on more, when it comes to believability though.

The only reason I'm making this post. Is because this is probably the most crazy shit I have heard in Hip Hop, in recent memory. Kidnapping a millionaire Rapper and his employees, to sign a deal. This reminds me of the Suge Knight stories in a bit.

https://youtu.be/eRrNP7OcSno?si=043nddyX25\_ownQc

The vidoe does make some good points (20:40 was actually a good nuance way to view incels). I hate how both the Left and Right are so concerned with men's sex lives. It's double standard, because they usually go harder on men. Since men getting sex from women is associated with a man's morals, and success in society.

Men who struggle → seen as failures, creepy, or “losers” Men who succeed → seen as confident, validated That framing comes from older gender norms, not just modern politics. Ironically, even people who claim to reject traditional roles sometimes still reinforce this standard subconsciously.

And also I don't like how this YouTuber group every man who disagree with a feminist with the manosphere in some parts of this video (again he had a good take on incels). Hello we exist too. There are many left leaning men or men who aren't far right (or red-pill) that have non-misogynistic criticism of some feminists.

A lot of online discourse collapses nuance into: “If you disagree → you must be manosphere” That’s intellectually lazy, and it pushes normal guys toward more extreme spaces over time.

And also the biggest mistake he made in this video is not talking about cakism Feminism, where progessive women want the best of both worlds from men. He spoke about this for a little bit, when it came to the social stigma men feel when approaching women. But he didn't talk about the catch 22 situations for men though, where men are still mocked for not approaching women too.

Or how feminists will say that they don't care about loser men struggling to get laid. But the same Feminists still get upset, when men stop caring about relationships though. These catch-22 or cognitive dissonance situations are very important to talk about. Because it explains a lot with these gender issues.

Men often feel stuck between conflicting expectations: “Don’t approach women, it’s uncomfortable” “Why don’t men approach anymore?” “Sex isn’t everything, stop obsessing” “Men who can’t get sex are losers” “Be vulnerable” “Don’t be weak” That contradiction creates confusion and anxiety, especially for younger boys who don’t have a stable framework yet.

24:23: He ironically proves point with progressive women wanting to date up. That's just women with feminist values who still have traditional expectations for men.

It just comes down to the cakism society has with rigid male gender roles, and the economy being fucked. Those are the reasons. It's not the manosphere. Because the manosphere is just a symptom of the shit society already fucked up a long time ago.

There is a huge difference between Feminism and Cakism Feminism. Cakism Feminism is what creates the incles, and give power to the manosphere in the first place. Combine that with the economy. And you get a perfect receipt for disaster.

I'm not even talking about man hating radical feminists either. Since they are symptoms of the issue too. It's just Cakims Feminism is a good name to describe this phenomenon in society. It's the cakims society has around male gender roles that is biggest issue here.

Society wants flexible gender roles in theory but still enforces rigid expectations on men in practice. That tension creates mixed signals, especially around dating, success, and masculinity.

In conclusion: Again this YouTuber made some good points. But I won't be surprised if he is a part of the "positive masculinity will be the solution to the male loneliness epidemic" crowd though.

Edit: Also hear is a bad video on the topic. Spoiler alert, the male loneliness epidemic exist because society hates women. In other words women most affected.

She would probably be the same Feminist that gets upset when men stop caring about approaching women too.
