Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

especially since it seems to go hand-in-hand with "being a douchebag".

It's the difference between Duke Nukem and Thors the Troll (Vinland Saga, is the first example of a gentlemanly manly man to come to mind) Shin.

Punching aliens: Manly.

Throwing shit: Douchey.

Punching aliens isn't "manly", it's ****ing stupid.

As is just about any violent act.

You sure? Cause I haven't actually played Duke Nukem Forever, but I'm pretty sure he saves the world in it. If along the way he punches aliens, awesome. Alien punching does become stupid when you have access to more efficient means of alien disposal though, yes. mmm

Unfortunately he also literally throws feces. Which is just terrible.

Edit: There's a difference between necessary violence, such as the aforementioned alien punching, which I assume saves the world, and violence because being-a-dickhead. 😛

I wouldn't condone the punching of peaceful aliens. mmm That should go without saying.

Because of how stupid and wrong violence is.

Edit: And original Duke Nukem, though a dick, is meant to be a parody of that type of character. Though, Duke Nukem Forever apparently took that "humor" too far.

You could not pay me to play Duke Nukem Forever, and the fact that it's a terrible game is only part of it.

manliness = musckles

Duke Nukem Forever is a terrible game, yeah.

Honestly, my bigger issue with that game isn't the fact that the mechanics are shit and it's so horribly dated, and more this stuff being so prevalent. Just. No.

You know, I was going to defend the misogyny of the series based on the premise that it is a parody, then I read Randy Pitchford's statements. 😬

the ad campaigns for that game were cringe inducing.

even if i do love bewbs. 😐

I can't recall any of the ad campaigns, honestly.

Moving on to a character not misogynist nor full of himself (much).

Superman is awesome:

Also, this isn't just "no access to some websites". Censorship is a huge deal.

Being a douchebag is not manly. Being charming is though. 😮

In the grand scheme of things, is it really? *muses philosophically*

But still, I like to think there are a few Manly men with whom it goes hand in hand with gentlemanliness ;p But alas, I think those guys are a dying breed =(

How come I can distinctly remember talking about my gentllemanliness and getting chewed out for my troubles? mmm

Edit: Whoa!

Have you guys heard Daniel Floyd from Extra Credits talking in live action? He sounds so different.

Question: I assume SOPA means no more manga for me weekly right?

If someone thinks mangareader violates copy-right then they'll pull it.
