He says they promote "hypermasculinity".

why does it damage all of us?

>How do superheroes make friends? By punching each other. How do you resolve conflicts, big and small? By punching each other. Whose plan will be followed? How is trust built among teammates? Face-punching can accomplish all this and more.
We need to raise questions at the model of male bonding and friendship-building by way of violence.
What exactly is so appealing about this particularly aggressive form of hypermasculinity that it’s become a worldwide movie obsession?

He's right. Why the fuck is there so much male hypermasculinity? There needs to be more embracing of female roles in superhero films.

Hi Anita
>>63180271
Even women don't want to watch female superheroes.
Whites deserve to be conquered by muslims, spics and chinks if this is the attitude they have.
Can you imagine if it were WWII and every man got drafted and you had a faggot like Jonathan McIntosh in your foxhole? Like that's who you have to depend on? You'd frag the weak little shit before he had a chance to endanger you.
If you read the whole article you may find that he's making a solid point. It's not one I personally agree with but it isn't shitposting worthy
shit, its the feminst frequency guy
Capeshit is very non masculine and juvenile by its nature
>>63180337
If people like McIntosh and Anita were in charge of the world there would never have been a WW2
>I wonder, why does a trust fund kid with a dad who has this vast, Draculaesque mansion on an isolated island dislike superheroes so much?
kek, for once the comments are just better than the article
>>63180364

>Crazy Nip is coming at you guys

>Moonie kills him
Thank you based nips
>One common reaction I encounter whenever I bring up these questions is the concern that there's no way to create exciting dramatic tension or conflict in movies, other than resorting to violence as the ultimate resolution. Of course, that’s not true, as evidenced by one of the most exciting and intense pictures of the year, The Martian. A remarkable thing about that film is that it contains absolutely no violence or killing. All problems are solved through science, cooperation and human creativity.
>And yet the filmmakers behind The Martian managed to create a widely successful, thrilling, edge-of-your-seat blockbuster. Given the current state of the world, we could certainly do with a hell of a lot more heroes who solve complex problems with innovation and ingenuity rather than by punching each other in the face. Perhaps it's time to move on from these tired masculinised concepts.
shit if ever you needed proof that it's a reddit movie
>>63180217
Capeshit is actually hyper feministic.
Just look at shit like Jessica Jones.
Look capeshit is a genre for male audiences and it should actually be a lot more masculine.
Female can still have roles in the movies, but only as eyecandy, even better if they show boobs.
>>63180345
What's the solid point anon?
It's funny because 20 years ago it would have been the conservatives who would bitch around because of the violence and skanky female outfits.
>>63180217
Holy fuck the authors twitter is even more disgusting
>>63180345
I tried to read the whole article but it's just drivel and nonsense. He wants less fighting in superhero movies? How about less jokes in comedies or less sex scenes in porn as well. He sounds like an idiot.
>>63180345
Fuck off Jon, you're not convincing anyone that you've made a solid point.
>>63180430
>double strapping
That frankly says more than enough about him
>>63180364
Yeah, basically there would be no war but they also wouldn't be leaders for long before the neighbouring nation comes in and fucks them over.
>>63180430
This your first time hearing of McIntosh? He and Anita Sarkeesian are best buds and even write identical tweets at times, aka Jon had access to Anitas twitter and wrote her tweets for her.
>>63180217
guy suffers from hypomasculinity
>>63180430
What's wrong?
He's a white male. Shouldn't his opinion be of great value, since according to prevailing /tv/ rhetoric, white males are the pinnacle of humanity and are never wrong?
>>63180449
It literally is. Around the time Anita became a thing I just avoided everything she does because I knew it would make me angry. People like this are so deluded.
>>63180459
You've just managed to be even more of a faggot as McIntosh, thats a feat I didn't even think was possible. Congrats dude, I should send you a card or something.
>>63180459
leftist males count as females.
>>63180477
That's anti-white, you kike
>>63180483
Nice try schlomo. Go back to feminizing white males on the tel-avivsion
>>63180483
Leftist males make beta males look like normies
>>63180364
This doesn't sound like a bad thing.
>>63180447
That's why we should strive to make every nation run by an Anita or a Jonathon (in a gender equal proportion, of course)
>>63180217
Social Marxist crap designed to keep the male gender weak and enslaved.
If you buy one work of this you are a traitor to your brothers.

>sees comment section

All is in order.

We'd also still probably be hunter gatherers

No, not in order desu senpai

Sarkessian is the much more reasonable and measured of the two. He's a full blown violence = masculinity = bad loon.
>McIntosh
Who?
Also right now they're probably the least "hypermasculine" they've ever been.
>>63180217
Isn't this the guy that thought "filmic dissonance" was criticism?
>>63180430
>co-writer
It's been proven again and again that he writes all of Anita's tweets. Sometimes they're even direct copies of his own tweets.
Anyway. Not /tv/
UK YES

>>63180459
You haven't lurked long enough, newshit.
There's nothing more despised in /tv/ than the opinion of a feminist white male.
>>63180635
he's the writer of Feminist Frequency, Sarkeesian is just the on-screen actress.
>>63180364
They'd have sat round giving Chamberlain praise for peaceful thinking as Hitler took over the world.
>>63180795
Eggman actually went full supreme gentleman?
>>63180217
>McIntosh
ignored
>>63180728
goddamn
>>63180802
I talk like this is a bad thing.
>Humans have become so fucking retarded that they think that shit that fictional people do and are is real and should be copied
>>63180829
na that was from the oregon shooting, r9k framed him for lulz and cnn reported on it
Superhero films are great. We need more male masculinity in society. What we really need to get rid of are gay fucking indie films.
>>63181134
That's hardly a recent development, anon.
Humans have been looking up to and emulating fictional characters since we first developed the ability to tell stories. At this point there have been literal millions of people who have willingly given their lives for the sake of their particular interpretation of an ancient book of Jewish fables. The Romans justified their imperialism by evoking the example of a fictional hero of the possibly-fictional Trojan War.
Of course, what the writer of the article in the OP is also missing is the fact that so-called "hypermasculinity" has been a key ingredient in successful mythology since the very beginning. Lawful-good heroes are inspiring because their capabilities exceed the audience's in every possible way.
>A glorious place, a glorious age, I tell you! A very Neon renaissance - And the myths that actually touched you at that time - not Hercules, Orpheus, Ulysses and Aeneas - but Superman, Captain Marvel, and Batman
-Tom Wolfe
>>63180459
Yeah because /tv/ loves people like Joss Whedon and Wil Wheaton right?
Now that the gay mafia is nearly as powerful and the Jew mafia in Hollywood, the only thing the two can agree on is Superhero movies, so that's all that gets made.
>tfw i cant fuck a nigga up without being treated like the devil anymore
This semen slurping world isn't for me guys
Actually, watching people use simple violence to solve problems is a good way to deal with the fact that you can't very well do that irl with your own problems. Superhero movies are not teachers, they're escapism. If you want something to teach your kids how to deal with problems irl, or to challenge their minds, use another kind of movie.
