This was a plotline on Big Bang Theory lmao.

Never watched that show more than five minutes, looked stupid as hell.

Was basically a regular sitcom, except every so often one of the nerdy guys would say something like "This is just like in World of Warcraft when Thrall the Orc busted a nut!" or whatnot. Then all the nerd fans would applaud and go "yes, very good, it GETS me!"

Friend of mine is a doctor in Europe, and he told me tales of how every week there'd be some new hot 22 year old Big Pharma representative showing up at his office to encourage him to push some new medication. Said it was always a hot young woman in a sexy to semi-sexy outfit, never any deviation from that formula.

These companies know where their bread is buttered.

That is just sales 101 and isn't anything new. You could travel back in time thousands of years and find the same thing. A young, attractive, and charismatic person selling something is usually going to find more success because of heavily ingrained human biases and psychology.

Companies know well the value of a female employee. One day maybe the women will figure it out too.

Another telegraph from Captain Obvious:

It's probably cognitive dissonance. Most women seem to figure out in their teens that they compete on looks with each other, but only on an subconscious level. Especially for attention from, well, let's just call them "desirable" males. Somehow the conscious transfer is really difficult for them, but once it settles in some of them even feel exploited. But this only happens after said looks have aged like milk and they make impact with the cold, hard floor of reality.

Even the modern day communists with their "equality of outcome" are trying to get in on this, which is why we now have "healthy at every size" and "fat studies", trying to change the beauty standards by which they compete. This will never ever happen, because those beauty standards are set by other women (and a few gay men) in an everlasting cycle of coming and going fashions, in an attempt to fuck with each other and set a hierarchy.

I realized how truly fucked up the situation is when an ex-girlfriend once said: "I need a new snowboarding jacket, I can't go with the old one." - "Why not, is it damaged?" - "No, it's from last season, so they'll make fun of me behind my back."

To circle back to WoW: Remember when Chris Metzen told the story that his daughter asked him "why are they all in swimsuits?" - He should've told her "You'll figure that out once you are in your teens. In fact, I'll record this very conversation and play it back to you when I have to pull out the 'You can't go out dressed like that, you'll catch a cold' card."

haha, somewhat relevant maybe.. I just watched the Abercrombie and Fitch documentary on Netflix. Now that shit was fucked up, and in the "roarin' 90's" we loved the fuck out of it. I remember being pissed I couldn't wear their shit because they didn't go past an XL size shirt. Lol

But yea, to WoW: on a whim I got back into retail, and started dabbling with all my characters from Legion and the very start of BfA. Trying to figure out what's happening, what are the specs, but it seems not much has changed with the classes. All the specs are pretty viable, and there's certainly a meta, it's all about just playing what you want. Gonna try out Ele Shaman again after trying out Druid and Monk to see how I like ranged class. Hard to give up the convenience of Druid forms though. Shit. Instant mount, interact with shit from your mount form, etc. It's bad ass.

Or:

"We made a model for Alexstraza that was a chainmail bikini, makes sense for a shapeshifted Dragon to not care too much about clothes or armor.

We then recoloured it for Y'sera and Sylvanas because we are lazy, then over used Sylvanas in the story because one of the writers fell in love with her."

Who wouldn't want society setup to be heavily biased to themselves? Of course want everything to be in their favor.

The problem is the pathetic fucking simp men who side with the women. Men being low t worthless pussies unable to tell women off is the downfall of society. This is one of the end results, women in media lose all sexiness/attractiveness because of muh sexism and patriarchy.

There's no way they don't know that in their hearts. They're just too immature and neurotic to accept reality.

I think the simps in the west have never learned how to interact in a healthy way with women. At this point I don't want to make generalizations, but I have the feeling that most of it comes from fucked up upbringing with no father figure in their life in their formative years, and maybe xenohormones. They are mostly middle to upper class, but are going through life without any form of fulfillment that e.g. raising a family would give them.

If you add alienation from their peers to that mix, and they develop a porn addiction on top of that (as a coping mechanism for that alienation) you get people that self-destruct: Mostly because they have no objective real problems they can claim to be sad and depressed about. The porn addiction leads to perversions, and those lead down the path to the fetishization of womanhood in general, and suddly you have +1 trans person.

Of course I don't really know, but that's my current theory. It's a bit more complicated than the "bad times strong men, good times weak men"

At the end of the day I think its a break down of fundamental ethical/moral guidance on the societal level. People need control, the average person is too dumb and too easily manipulated to make most choices for themselves.

Christianity was that ethos for the longest time, but in 2022 its almost all but gone, having been replaced with a hedonistic degenerate ethos called liberalism. So now instead of people having families, you have women starting onlyfans and men simping like retards all the while they bitch about gender gaps. All of that being done in a world of where you can summon an outrage mob at the push of a button from across the world the second someone says something that offends you. Thats why Carmack gave that "we cant find anyone!" response to that dumb twat asking about the gender gap.

Yeah, I've been thinking for a long time that men being so goddamn easy really trivializes us as an entire gender. I've turned down more women than I've been with (not to get too braggadocious here, majority were hambeasts). If all men had that much self-control and selectiveness, maybe we wouldn't be regarded as such a joke.

Counter point: It is also why conspiracy theories like Q'anon take root. The part of the brain that involves religion also is ripe for conspiracy theories.

Whether or not you are religious, humans are literally hardwired for it.

Agreed on people's need to be a part of some ideology or some group to fill that certain void in the brain.

That said, nowadays "conspiracy theories" are turning out to be true more often than the news "debunkings" do. I know better than to judge anybody for having "conspiracy theories" as a result.

To be fair: those are not the positions that create any product, which in turn brings in the money. And more often than not, it is really hard to find talented people in IT, regardless of gender.

Sometimes it's so bad that you find talented people, but they don't want to leave their dead end job, where they mentally suffer year after year, simply because it's a pain they already know and have adapted to.

That's not only my opinion:

Yeah. So off topic of WoW but on topic of this - we launched a huge I&D effort after Summer of Floyd. It took less than 9 months for most of it to get walked back. Now we’ve had a second push recently due to what I’d politely term management harpies. Reality is setting in again. We’re strained. Big time. Our diversity actually WENT DOWN after launching a bunch of I&D efforts. Standards have been lowered. We offered one guy against many of us’ wishes and I feel it was simply because he was black. Tried placing him on a team and not one fucking hiring manager including the ones that were emphatic about hiring him would take him. So why did you idiots offer him?

We’re tasked with making our engineer population match US demographics in race representation. Lolololol. I can’t even fill the slots with enough fucking white males let alone the mythical 3.8 gpa Purdue educated black female with two co-ops in petrochemicals.

And half the fucking white dudes we do get seem to be engineers because it sounded like a hard major and not because they want to understand how something works and make it better. This generation sucks on top of trying to hire unicorns.

This is bait.

Regardless, the qtypes didnt burn down society nor do they go on constant witch hunts trying to ruin peoples lives and push for companies to sanitize media. Shit on them all you want, but they are a million times better for society than your typical leftoid.

Depends on your perspective - the extreme Qs were seeking overall destructive changes to society due to the 4chan troll fueled shit being pumped out. The witch hunt "cancel culture" extreme SJWs were also seeking overall destructive changes to society.

Just like in religion, you have some small segment that realizes "hey, I can gain power through this!" and power is magnified by getting more "minions" to agree with you and look to you as a voice of authority.

Tell me you dont browse the politics thread and have no idea whats really going on this country without telling me that.

Yes the Q people got trolled about "q" being an actual thing/person, but the idea that the powers that be didnt actively conspire to fuck over half the country and Trump is 100% true.
