Woke Up Black

They say the redpill movement is toxic, but I'm yet to see a man sing something like this.

Apparently there’s a backlash to this performance, and I’ve thought about why that is. It is because male heterosexuality is being catered to in a respectable venue. “Respectable venue” is key: under the current cultural paradigm, entertainment where attractive women perform for men is largely limited to webcams and strip clubs. Cam work is considered disreputable, and strip clubs are considered sleazy. Both are on the margins, with an air of nastiness around them. They’re off in the shadows, off in the corner, and often adjacent to criminality. In this way, male heterosexuality is itself placed adjacent to criminality, since the average man is made to think of his attraction to women (especially young, attractive adult women) as socially harmful. Think of any space considered respectable — if a man approaches a woman with romantic intent, he risks internet-wide embarrassment or possibly accusations of harassment. This need not limit itself to real-life; nearly all professionally produced entertainment in America has refrained from presenting attractive women in a sexualized way. Indeed, the term “male gaze” is used as an insult — catering to what men find attractive is considered bad. The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) during its heyday had “booth babes” — attractive women who helped promote the various products. They were abolished in the early 2010s to allegedly make E3 more welcoming to women. Likewise in 2018, Formula One banned “grid girls” in the name of MeToo despite the lack of any scandal involving them. Both are respectable venues, so both cannot be allowed to cater to male heterosexuality. The message both trends send is clear: Male heterosexuality must be kept out of the public eye, safely confined to the margins. It is disgusting, it is dirty, and it is borderline criminal. But this video of this Korean dancer breaks those unwritten rules. One, this is in a respectable venue, presumably a military base. It is not tucked away in some alley. It is not being delivered via webcam. It is being delivered in public, within a well-regarded institution of Korean society. Two, the audience is made up entirely of men. While the average female K-Pop star dresses in a similar provocative manner, their main audience is women and girls; they do not perform to entertain men of any age. This dancer, by contrast, is specifically performing for men, in a way that men would find attractive. Three, this was done specifically to boost the spirits of these men. Key to performances like this is the idea that the woman finds joy in making the men happy. While the woman is not expected to care deeply for any of these men, she still wants them to enjoy themselves. In a small way, it’s an act of service — and women doing acts of service for men is something modern culture despises. That’s why there’s a backlash here. Make heterosexuality was not treated as some impolite thing that should be hidden away, but as something legitimate and good. Because modern culture operates on one overriding principle above all others: Men should NEVER be happy.

Correct and the better character arc would’ve been him realizing he doesn’t need it to live up to the super hero standards Steve Rogers left behind. Falcon could’ve then been his own standout hero, but instead they slapped a lazy hand me down on him because the other option requires work

we be our enemies .. this is so weird
