“I’m an incredibly cruel and shallow asshole that demands that everyone conforms to my beauty standards and my love for a woman will only ever be skin deep and transactional. Why can’t I keep a gf?”

Gad damn, even the dudes on that site that have girlfriends are miserable and hate their perfect waifu the moment they change slightly physically (or don’t change enough if the dude suddenly decided he likes a different aesthetic). They’ll complain that women only date muscular men, then complain when women don’t date muscular men. They’ll complain about “ugly” women but at the same time complain that they themselves aren’t attractive enough to get girls. They’re incredibly shallow while complaining that every woman they date is shallow. The lengths they go to avoid self-reflection must be wild.

The misunderstanding of The Substance in particular made me laugh. The film is critiquing the exact shallow obsessions these dorks chase, and instead of taking a step back and asking themselves “Are we the baddies?” They just whine about how it’s not a film about how hard it is for men to go through rejection. As if their isn’t already a million things like that in media, and as if it’s only men that go though embarrassing dating troubles.

Anyway here’s a link to the site if you hate yourself: https://inshapetoday.com/

    “White People Food” is the reaction from Chinese people discovering what Americans were making for themselves and eating, and started to go viral 2 years ago. You basically take a few raw or basic ingredients, steam or boil them, and put them next to each other. Voilà, the Lunch of Sadness.

        You probably did indeed process two of the 100 most recognizable characters. I had to look up the term myself to post it, because I didn’t have the third one committed to memory either.
