If you understand that Griffith is not someone anyone should want to emulate, I don’t think this meme is about you anyway.
This meme is about the insecure dudes who are hurt and angry and decide to channel that into some cringe edge-lord ‘I want to hurt everyone else and feel nothing but that it is my destiny to be on top’ phase.
This is true of any non-profit you give to ever though
Oh absolutely. Women were basically property then and no one had any concept of ‘spousal rape’.
I was more addressing the mentality when people do it now - that it shouldn’t be assumed to be ignorance about birth control
No, some people get a thrill out of the power of making more people, of having a huge family, even if they don’t take good care of them.
I personally don’t get it. But I have a friend who is a really incompetent person - when we hang out, we have to make extra sure she doesn’t do dangerous things like she is a child. She is a sweet person, but very oblivious in a way that is hard to put a pin on. She is married, and her husband takes care of her and has always seemed to kind of like the responsibility. To each their own. But they now have 2 kids and he is completely overwhelmed. But she wants more and keeps talking about trying to talk him into it or ‘oops’ getting pregnant again in a few years. We all yell at her when she says stuff like that.
It is the perfect flip-flop of the usual gender roles - where Dad has all the responsibility and doesn’t want more, and Mom just sees it as some kind of power trip about her self image and is oblivious or just doesn’t care that it would break her partner.
I think you are forgetting that we are living in an era where “the internet trolls” are proving to be prevalent or at least highly influential in the real world. The US has elected a complete brat twice, the AFD are threatening a fourth reich, and terms like “looksmaxing” have entered the general lexicon.
No one who watched gamergate occur on in the mid 2010s, and then tried to explain it to normal people who said ‘oh that’s just niche internet drama’, and then watched the rise of the alt-right, is ever going to see dangerous bullshit online and believe it will just stay there ever again.
