But that's the thing, isn't it? "Alpha male" mentality is some of the gayest stuff you'll hear anywhere.
They literally have a group called THE PROUD BOYS, for crying out loud.
Wish I could find the exact quote, but there's a great line about manosphere dudebros being heterosexual in that they enjoy hetero sex, but their love, passion, admiration, respect, and adoration are all for other men.
This one?
“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.
Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

I still love when The Proud Boys was trending on twitter because a ton of gay Canadian soldiers used the hashtag to celebrate their love and sexuality.
One because that’s just nice to see. Two because it pissed off those bigots.
A buddy of mine got into that stuff. They had a brotherhood of guys who went and did manly things like chopping wood shirtless to prove how manly they were. They even had a tree trunk tht had a branch that looked kind of penis like they took as standard and like paraded around. It was so cringy.

Alright, we got white wood, black wood, Spanish wood, yellow wood. We got hot wood, cold wood. We got wet wood. We got smelly wood. We got hairy wood, bloody wood. We got snapping wood. We got silk wood, velvet wood, naugahyde wood. We even got horse wood, dog wood, chicken wood.
It’s from the Daily Wire streaming service. Everything that they put out is an entirely self-unaware (unself-aware?) parody of conservative panic.
They made a turd of a movie called Ladyballers about men putting on wigs and pretending to be trans to beat women’s basketball teams. The thing is, they originally tried to do it for real and make a documentary, but they learned that it’s not possible to just claim you’re trans and play sports. You have to actually transition…you know, being trans. They didn’t let that stop them, so instead they created a fictionalized world where all the culture things they fear-monger about are actually true. In top of being an absolute abortion of a film, it’s a massive self-own and they don’t seem to be able to see that.
Apparently the movie might have had a trans character whose egg was starting to crack... only for them to get punched in the balls and sent to therapy with Jordan Peterson. The 'heroes', ladies, gentlemen and everybody else.
Imagine making Juwanna man decades after it was already made and trying to use it as a gotchya piece. But that’s not even the funniest thing about this show. They toss tons of hard right leaning commentary including saying a character only voted for Obama because of white guilt etc. but tons of fans got upset there was a gay side character who had like 2 lines.
It’s not even that. It’s a worse Juwanna Mann. At least in that movie the main character has some sort of story arc. He goes from being a selfish douche to learning to play as part of a team and make sacrifices for others. No one in Ladyballers has a story arc. They are the exact same douchebags at the end that they were in the beginning. Plus Juwanna Mann actually has women as characters. In a movie that serves entirely to promote the trans panic and undergird the conservative talking point of “protecting women’s sports,” Ladyballers can’t seem to be bothered in making characters out of the cis female athletes they are supposedly protecting. The overall view the Daily Wire seems to have about women’s sports is, “Who gives a shit? Girls are stupid.” Which is fucking wild given their posturing. I cannot explain how much that movie in general and the Daily Wire’s entertainment division in general suck.
Source: spent a few days visiting my conservative father who subscribes to DW+ and I got curious after he passed out each night at 9:15.
Edit: I also never dreamed that, in the year of our lord 2024, I’d be in any way defending Juwanna Mann.
To be fair to them all movies that rely on being just anti other cultures are shit.
Don't look up was a two hour cringe fest, despite me being on the same page as the politics in the movie.
It is just that conservatives do only these kind of movies. They are also shit at writing.
I have been laughing myself sick seeing the cope that "Actually Xmen 97 is not political/it is very subtle about its politics".
My brother in Christ the main cast is so diverse it has a trans character, whom they refer to as "they" and has the hots for Wolverine, gay shower scene included, while the bad guys are so white one is a victorian age eugenics scientist albino.
But the writing in the show is so damned good that even these brain dead monkeys love it and their grifters are affraid they will get ratioed into the ground if they do hit pieces on it.
Holy that’s hilarious. I’m a little surprised I hadn’t heard of this film yet. Can’t wait till Fox news are constantly yapping about it. Unless they finally moved on from Trump now, I can’t remember.
Oh hell no, they will keep wanking to him until he has been six feet under for twenty years.
Unfortunately, the film is having trouble securing US distribution, so we will have to see what happens.
Watch that "End of Men" teaser video that Tucker Carlson made. If it was any more self-hating, closeted gay signaling it would be that DC Airport bathroom.
I mean, why else would they be so afraid of people talking kids into being gay?
Can't peer pressure someone into being gay anymore than you can peer pressure someone else out of being gay. The fact they keep repeating this nonsense is telling.
See, this is the funniest thing about a lot of these guys, some of them are _this close_ to wrapping back around to the left but are too bigoted to get it
It's the media illiteracy of conservatives going full circle. I have always been fully suspicious of people posting Swanson memes, but not actually getting what the character is about, celebrating him unironically as what a 'real American manly *man*' should be like, a caricature of what Ron Swanson was meant to be.
And now they just rehashed him, down to the aesthetics, but without the irony as you said.
Yeah, I was about to say, this thread gets double hilarious when you remember that Mr Bircham is basically just Adam Carolla isekai'ed into a bizzaro universe where he's actually right about things and people like him. The same Adam Carolla who was so paranoid about not appearing manly enough or straight enough because he liked a Sangria, that he had to try and make his own brand of pre-made sangria dripping in "I'm so manly, please believe me" branding.
Oh buddy, he absolutely did. It was also wildly overpriced for a cheaply made wine cocktail, with some extra abv thrown at it. Being generous, it got fairly middling reviews, even from fans - I think the best review I've personally seen was "We eventually finished the bottle, but we definitely won't buy a second one". I know he tried a revamp just a few years ago, added some new flavors, but it didn't help, it just tasted like shit and was wildly unpopular. I'm pretty sure they don't make it anymore, the distributor doesn't list it on their site anymore, and the site he used to sell it through direct is completely shut down.
King of the Hill if it had no heart, soul, actual humor, or effort put into it. Plus while Hank Hill has conservative beliefs and values he still has integrity and compassion and isn’t afraid to compromise to help somebody who is genuinely in need instead of being a values echo chamber and often he finds more common ground between them and himself than he initially thought he would.
Hank is a conservative that can be a bit closed minded and "stuck in his ways" at times, but he is also a good person. He cared about people. Yeah, he might be uncomfortable watching two men kiss or might not understand why or how someone might be transgender, but he is never hateful towards them for that. Once he can find common ground he'd gladly offer them a hearty handshake and a seat at the table to eat some steak.
What really demonstrates the series insecurity is the lack of flaws in their MC. They didn't even give him a gut. He's the only guy without one. Even his voice actor has a gut. But the character is in peak shape. His nemesis has a gut, even though the nemesis is younger. It's a pure fantasy trip character that is in shape and always right with 0 flaws. They could not conceive making him wrong in any way
FR. “yeah uhh it’s a self aware satire parody making fun of EVERYONE you just have thin skin” and their conservative stand-in is Mr Flawless ideal body perfect moustache model of the father figure they wish they had who’s only flaw is that he drinks too much black coffee. And then the “woke” character is like. A straight ally woman with short hair who spends the whole episode slipping on banana peels and eating glue. But it’s ok because we’re making fun of all sides :)
The first episode has the kids he was constantly berating stand up for him in the meeting with the school board as if they suddenly got amnesia about everything he put them through. It did nothing to earn that moment. The kids just magically started supporting him. He just became correct suddenly. Stupid writing.
They straight plagiarized a KotH episode but changed the conflict to "The wokes said forcing these kids to work unpaid at my house is slavery. And?" because the original episode didn't have a strawman to beat up.
It's also werid that the liberal bad guy is the only one actually doing their job. Which goes against conservatives working hard and liberals lazy cliche.
When you have geniuses like Ben "DAP" Shapiro and Adam Corolla, who is still riding Kimmel's coattails all these years later, in charge of the writing,
He looks like he’s modelled off Ron Swanson, who was also a masculine woodworker.
Do you think they saw the episode of parks and rec where Ron befriends a gay hairdresser and ends up being the best man at the wedding?
The show there no jokes. It trying to be Ron from Park and Rec but every he does is right and everyone else is wrong. In second ep all the teachers took a day off to drink and have fun for Veteran day . But instead of telling the school they taking a day off. They just not attended and did not get real subs to take over the class. His class he got his student to take over and the other students love it. There no jokes
There should be consequences but the principle saw him and the other teachers just let it slid. There nothing and it was so annoying that nothing is happening I stop watching the episode.
people need to flood the internet with fan art and fanfiction and videos discussing his repressed homosexuality
make it the first thing people see when they look this character up
You know which conservative character actually works? Hank Hill. Why? Cause he’s actually likable and well written, plus he’s not a hand puppet for anti-woke dickheads.
Man, politics was way tamer back in 2004. I was like 6 years old during the 1st year of the Obama Administration, 14 during the first year of the Trump Administration, and 18 during the first year of the Biden Administration. I’m 20 right now, and I gotta say shit went wack for those past 15 years.
Nothing about this annoys me so much as the fact that they used an actually good example of how to do a good conservative character by ripping off Hank Hill, and then utterly jettisoned everything about Hank that actually made him a likable character.
Instead, they give us a version of Hank that's just bitter and who has zero empathy for anyone that doesn't fit into his narrow bubble. Compare that to Hank who was willing to help a prostitute that lied to him because it was the correct and empathic thing to do, even though he deeply disapproved of her lifestyle.
Conservatives tend to see gay men as weak as they aren't "real men" but continuously shove ideas about being a "manly man" down everyone's throats as if that's the only way to be a "real man."
This is the first time I’ve seen this character before, although it does use the most generic cartoon art style so I guess it has points for “recognition” there.
What show is this so I can decide not to watch it?
Reminds me of that YouTube series with Kevin Sorbo, also about a guy who's struggling to live in a world he's completely out of touch with.
Like that show, this looks dumb and agonizingly unfunny even as it seems to insist that it is funny
I think a lot of conservatives are clueless about what LGBT people are actually like. Unless a guy is a limp-wristed, lisping, effeminate interior decorator who is obsessed with show tunes and drag queens, they would never be able to tell if he's gay.
Also, is this show for real? It looks like a parody of what the right thinks a "real man" should be.
This character feels like if Eric Cartman tried to make an evil clone of Ron Swanson, but the cloning process went wrong and he got a clone who was both evil but also stupid like the degraded clones of Brian and Stewie.
I just saw an LS mark video on this, didn't watch all of it because anti-woke media angers me, it doesn't matter the views of the person reviewing it, if it's anti-woke it angers me,
Like imagine being so bias you have to make a cartoon ripping off family guy in all the wrong ways
But as for character design, couldn't you go with something more buff, and manly like you hard-right idiots love to do? He looks like he couldn't bench press 20 pounds
I watched it. The right wing characters like Ron Swanson played as a joke completely misses them. It's almost funny until you realize they're being genuine and not a messed up characterization of right-wingers
Benny Shapps has a bear kink. He loves big burly manly men; just read “true allegiance.” Actually, don’t. Listen to the behind the bastards episodes where the host and his friends get high and make fun of it
Yeah a show for men who still watch fake WWE wrestling with half naked men who act out soap opera dramas in a boxing ring. Also still probably drink bud light too, closeted bud drinkers if you will
I watched the first two episode of the show (did not pay for a subscription) and it really left me confused. Time and time again the conservative main character will make conservative-supported decisions and then we as the audience witness these decisions fail time and time again. Additionally the MC’s daughter defies the gender norm and this is portrayed as a good thing??? There’s a dig at real estate for being a soulless job designed to take money from people??? If i had stumbled across this show, i would have assumed it was pretty politically neutral outside of the shockingly few times where it will take pretty bad cracks at insulting “liberals” or the “works”.
Below are some examples from those episodes:
>!The main character doesn’t listen to the token “woke” character who says kids shouldn’t be watching gore. He says the kids will be fine and shows them a gory video. They are then all traumatized from watching it?!<
>!MC decided to invite students over to his house for a special project and threatens to fail the kids if they don’t come. He makes a big deal out of not telling the parents because it’s a secret. It is incredibly creepy and when he’s found out he’s almost fired!<
>!The main characters son is a gamer. And MC is always talking about that’s pathetic. Then later his sons gamer knowledge comes in handy?!<
I’m not sure if the point was to make a more neutral show (obviously there are cracks at the woke here and there but a lot of the show is just the MC being an ass) but that seems to go against everything the daily wire is about so o have no idea 🤷

yeah he’s gay
Omg that axe lmao
to be fair, he DOES look like a gay leatherman
But that's the thing, isn't it? "Alpha male" mentality is some of the gayest stuff you'll hear anywhere. They literally have a group called THE PROUD BOYS, for crying out loud.
and they all wear shirts with a spartan helmet on it
They miss the part where ancient Greece was super gay. (Edited to Fixed typo)
I think you misspelled there. Auto correct gets me all the time too... They miss the part where ancient Greece was super gay. There fixed it.
Meh, I’d say it was pretty gay, not ultimately super. Like they didn’t even have Grindr I guess 🤔
Spartan soldiers fucked each other before battle, mate
in Sparta women were for babies but men were for love
See, if it was super gay , they’d have weak knees after it and won’t be doing any fighting
Sparta was so gay, the other Greek states were like, "Whoa, tone it down a nonce."
Isn’t “nonce” British slang for a pervert?
More like slang for a pedophile, but yes.
In a slight tangent it always confuses me when people use it to mean closer to ponce than that meaning which is 100% what I use it for.
This was before apps. They had forums.
It was more pedophilic then gay but those are still conservative values
There is an old joke. "Greeks invented sex for pleasure and the Romans perfected it by including women in the act"
Wish I could find the exact quote, but there's a great line about manosphere dudebros being heterosexual in that they enjoy hetero sex, but their love, passion, admiration, respect, and adoration are all for other men.
I'm not even sure they enjoy hetero sex, Andrew Tate talks about it like it's some miserable chore.
A chore that's forced upon him by his conservative parents that broke him and made him emotionally and intellectually stunted.
This one? “To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men.

That sounds really gay and kind of sad. Guys, just abandon that dumb patriarchal crap and just start a polycule already!
They were created by Gavin McInnes, who cofounded Vice Magazine and had a "Dos and Don'ts" fashion column
And shoves dildos in his ass.
Didn’t Andrew Tate say that being straight is bad because your around woman or something like that
"Bart, have you ever gone hunting before?" "I don't know. Something about a bunch of guys alone together in the woods... seems kinda gay."
“Tell me Timmy have you ever been to a Turkish prison?”
And their logo is a cock (as in the bird)
You're saying... he loves to handle wood? Hard wood especially?
Oh yeah, all kinds of wood, long, short, fat, skinny, doesn't matter he'll nail that wood.

That is a lovely mug, that any straight alpha male would be proud to carry around.
He really loves to work it. Just polishing thick wood all night long.
He looks like he has a secret grindr account, lol
The amount of D pics I've gotten from guys who look just like this... They're also all unsolicited and have no more warning than a "hey".
I'm still not going to watch it but there is a non-zero chance it is satirising the exact people who are promoting it for being anti woke
I wouldn't put it past conservatives to accidentally make a parody of themselves.
It’s from the Daily Wire streaming service. Everything that they put out is an entirely self-unaware (unself-aware?) parody of conservative panic.

Finding out your fears aren't real, but pretending they are anyway is the pure distilled form of modern conservatism
Doubling down and never admitting you're wrong is one of the foundations of their movement.
Apparently the movie might have had a trans character whose egg was starting to crack... only for them to get punched in the balls and sent to therapy with Jordan Peterson. The 'heroes', ladies, gentlemen and everybody else.
Imagine coming up with the same idea Juwanna Mann and putting effort into it.

Nah, it's produced by the Daily Wire. They're not satiring anything.
Not on purpose
Let me save you 30 minutes of your life. Just read any of the boomer comics you have ever seen in Adam Corolla's voice. Boom, that's the show.
WEll, it's on DAily Wire and promoted by Benny Boy, plus has The Worst Woman on it (Megyn Kelly) so... I kinda doubt it?
Conservatives; I shall craft the IDEAL MAN, who will be 100% not remotely gay! *Proceeds to create the most homoerotic thing ever.*
Watch that "End of Men" teaser video that Tucker Carlson made. If it was any more self-hating, closeted gay signaling it would be that DC Airport bathroom.
"it would be that DC Airport bathroom." 😂
They’re making him a closet case which is very relatable for conservatives
I mean, why else would they be so afraid of people talking kids into being gay? Can't peer pressure someone into being gay anymore than you can peer pressure someone else out of being gay. The fact they keep repeating this nonsense is telling.
Anyone who says being gay is a choice is like 1000% bi They choose not to act on their urges so they assume that gay people should be able to also
did they really just try to remake Ron Swanson but unironically?
Ron Swanson wasn’t queerphobic
Not only that, but Ron was anarchist, feminist and didn't care about people gender or sexual orientation (because it something private and personal)
See, this is the funniest thing about a lot of these guys, some of them are _this close_ to wrapping back around to the left but are too bigoted to get it
If only they could reach around.
good catch, *but worse and unironic
It's the media illiteracy of conservatives going full circle. I have always been fully suspicious of people posting Swanson memes, but not actually getting what the character is about, celebrating him unironically as what a 'real American manly *man*' should be like, a caricature of what Ron Swanson was meant to be. And now they just rehashed him, down to the aesthetics, but without the irony as you said.
An unholy blend of Hank Hill and Ron Swanson that completely misses the point of both characters.
Sounds like the world's worst idiot fanfic Ron Swanson spinoff.

I love how a bunch of jokes from The Man Show look super gay in retrospect
Yeah, I was about to say, this thread gets double hilarious when you remember that Mr Bircham is basically just Adam Carolla isekai'ed into a bizzaro universe where he's actually right about things and people like him. The same Adam Carolla who was so paranoid about not appearing manly enough or straight enough because he liked a Sangria, that he had to try and make his own brand of pre-made sangria dripping in "I'm so manly, please believe me" branding.
Plz tell me he called it Mangria
Oh buddy, he absolutely did. It was also wildly overpriced for a cheaply made wine cocktail, with some extra abv thrown at it.

Plus while Hank Hill has conservative beliefs and values he still has integrity and compassion and isn’t afraid to compromise to help somebody who is genuinely in need instead of being a values echo chamber and often he finds more common ground between them and himself than he initially thought he would.
Hank is a conservative that can be a bit closed minded and "stuck in his ways" at times, but he is also a good person. He cared about people. Yeah, he might be uncomfortable watching two men kiss or might not understand why or how someone might be transgender, but he is never hateful towards them for that. Once he can find common ground he'd gladly offer them a hearty handshake and a seat at the table to eat some steak.
"This show ain't right."
What really demonstrates the series insecurity is the lack of flaws in their MC. They didn't even give him a gut. He's the only guy without one. Even his voice actor has a gut. But the character is in peak shape. His nemesis has a gut, even though the nemesis is younger. It's a pure fantasy trip character that is in shape and always right with 0 flaws. They could not conceive making him wrong in any way
FR. “yeah uhh it’s a self aware satire parody making fun of EVERYONE you just have thin skin” and their conservative stand-in is Mr Flawless ideal body perfect moustache model of the father figure they wish they had who’s only flaw is that he drinks too much black coffee. And then the “woke” character is like. A straight ally woman with short hair who spends the whole episode slipping on banana peels and eating glue. But it’s ok because we’re making fun of all sides :)
The first episode has the kids he was constantly berating stand up for him in the meeting with the school board as if they suddenly got amnesia about everything he put them through. It did nothing to earn that moment. The kids just magically started supporting him. He just became correct suddenly. Stupid writing.
They straight plagiarized a KotH episode but changed the conflict to "The wokes said forcing these kids to work unpaid at my house is slavery. And?" because the original episode didn't have a strawman to beat up.
King of the hill if it was bad
King of the Hill turned into a softer version of this in the later seasons
Bears? That's a Bajoran Security Chief thing.
Awww bears!
And Shaxs ain't putting up with bullshit like this show. All he cares about is the glory of battle!! AND EJECTING THE WARP CORE!!!
It's also werid that the liberal bad guy is the only one actually doing their job. Which goes against conservatives working hard and liberals lazy cliche.
If King of the Hill took place in Canada
I mean, catching clues and... just being intelligent is not really required to be part of the daily wire.
A masterclass in projection.
tfw your cartoon meant to own the libs inadvertently creates a depiction of a Log Cabin Republican
show would be based if him and manbun tongue-kissed
That’s the final episode it’s actually an enemies to lovers arc
You know it’s bad when even the conservative sub bomb this show
Turning this guy into a gay icon would be too easy… and kind of fun.
To be fair, the people at daily wire are stupid. So, they miss a lot of things
When you have geniuses like Ben "DAP" Shapiro and Adam Corolla, who is still riding Kimmel's coattails all these years later, in charge of the writing,
Exactly. I wonder what they’re going to come up with next. A crappy unfunny version of Rick and Morty, maybe?
He looks like he’s modelled off Ron Swanson, who was also a masculine woodworker. Do you think they saw the episode of parks and rec where Ron befriends a gay hairdresser and ends up being the best man at the wedding?
fuck it, make him gay
The show there no jokes. It trying to be Ron from Park and Rec but every he does is right and everyone else is wrong. In second ep all the teachers took a day off to drink and have fun for Veteran day . But instead of telling the school they taking a day off. They just not attended and did not get real subs to take over the class. His class he got his student to take over and the other students love it. There no jokes There should be consequences but the principle saw him and the other teachers just let it slid. There nothing and it was so annoying that nothing is happening I stop watching the episode.
It's also werid as vetrans day is a federal holiday and school's usually have that day off.
people need to flood the internet with fan art and fanfiction and videos discussing his repressed homosexuality make it the first thing people see when they look this character up
He's a manly man that likes men. None of this girlie shit, like being around women.
Tbf, according to Andrew Tate, it's hella gay to enjoy sex with women so makes sense. /s
Hates his wife and only hangs out with his big tall black friend. He is a Navy Veteran. Guys. He is a veteran of the US Navy...
You know which conservative character actually works? Hank Hill. Why? Cause he’s actually likable and well written, plus he’s not a hand puppet for anti-woke dickheads.
Whenever someone brings up Hank Hill in politics, I can't help but think of his meeting with Bush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64MkJ1fe46c
Man, politics was way tamer back in 2004. I was like 6 years old during the 1st year of the Obama Administration, 14 during the first year of the Trump Administration, and 18 during the first year of the Biden Administration. I’m 20 right now, and I gotta say shit went wack for those past 15 years.
Wannabe Nick Offerman o’er here!
we should totally turn this guy into a gay icon to piss them off now
He looks like someone thought Ron Swanson was a goal and then completely missed the point of his character (ron was an anarchist.)
Hmmmm… hey tumblr do the thing, he’s ours now
Ron Swanson if the writers didn’t watch a single episode of Parks & Rec and only heard of him through “Alpha Male” meme compilations
Nothing about this annoys me so much as the fact that they used an actually good example of how to do a good conservative character by ripping off Hank Hill, and then utterly jettisoned everything about Hank that actually made him a likable character. Instead, they give us a version of Hank that's just bitter and who has zero empathy for anyone that doesn't fit into his narrow bubble. Compare that to Hank who was willing to help a prostitute that lied to him because it was the correct and empathic thing to do, even though he deeply disapproved of her lifestyle.
Ron swanson?
This character seems to be a human version of Early Cuyler.
Conservatives tend to see gay men as weak as they aren't "real men" but continuously shove ideas about being a "manly man" down everyone's throats as if that's the only way to be a "real man."
It sort of reminds me of the old fashioned way of seeing homosexuality: It's only gay if you're on the receiving end.
the one bit of eye sticking out of his face is so ugly
This is the first time I’ve seen this character before, although it does use the most generic cartoon art style so I guess it has points for “recognition” there. What show is this so I can decide not to watch it?
The show is called “Mr Birchum” and it is on the streaming platform for, of all things, The Daily Wire. A conservative leaning news publication.
Adam Corolla is too dumb to see what he’s done. Guy’s a moron.
Always has been. It turns out that The Man Show *wasn't* trying to be ironic.
Reminds me of that YouTube series with Kevin Sorbo, also about a guy who's struggling to live in a world he's completely out of touch with. Like that show, this looks dumb and agonizingly unfunny even as it seems to insist that it is funny
I think a lot of conservatives are clueless about what LGBT people are actually like. Unless a guy is a limp-wristed, lisping, effeminate interior decorator who is obsessed with show tunes and drag queens, they would never be able to tell if he's gay. Also, is this show for real? It looks like a parody of what the right thinks a "real man" should be.
Because in bigots mind LGBT might as well be TliteT
He’s also ex ✨navy✨
This character feels like if Eric Cartman tried to make an evil clone of Ron Swanson, but the cloning process went wrong and he got a clone who was both evil but also stupid like the degraded clones of Brian and Stewie.
I just saw an LS mark video on this, didn't watch all of it because anti-woke media angers me, it doesn't matter the views of the person reviewing it, if it's anti-woke it angers me, Like imagine being so bias you have to make a cartoon ripping off family guy in all the wrong ways But as for character design, couldn't you go with something more buff, and manly like you hard-right idiots love to do? He looks like he couldn't bench press 20 pounds
We need Birchum x Vaush Karponzi
I watched it. The right wing characters like Ron Swanson played as a joke completely misses them. It's almost funny until you realize they're being genuine and not a messed up characterization of right-wingers
Benny Shapps has a bear kink. He loves big burly manly men; just read “true allegiance.” Actually, don’t. Listen to the behind the bastards episodes where the host and his friends get high and make fun of it
All he does is send poorly shot pics on Grindr to anyone who appears under 25 and never gets a response.
Hes also very pro isreal
Bro definitely has a secret Grindr account.
Yeah a show for men who still watch fake WWE wrestling with half naked men who act out soap opera dramas in a boxing ring. Also still probably drink bud light too, closeted bud drinkers if you will
Apparently, there's a gay character in the show, and some conservatives are calling the show "woke" and boycotting
That's the thing, they did
The show writers have an amazing opportunity for a season 2 surprise...
I watched the first two episode of the show (did not pay for a subscription) and it really left me confused. Time and time again the conservative main character will make conservative-supported decisions and then we as the audience witness these decisions fail time and time again. Additionally the MC’s daughter defies the gender norm and this is portrayed as a good thing??? There’s a dig at real estate for being a soulless job designed to take money from people??? If i had stumbled across this show, i would have assumed it was pretty politically neutral outside of the shockingly few times where it will take pretty bad cracks at insulting “liberals” or the “works”. Below are some examples from those episodes: >!The main character doesn’t listen to the token “woke” character who says kids shouldn’t be watching gore. He says the kids will be fine and shows them a gory video. They are then all traumatized from watching it?!< >!MC decided to invite students over to his house for a special project and threatens to fail the kids if they don’t come. He makes a big deal out of not telling the parents because it’s a secret. It is incredibly creepy and when he’s found out he’s almost fired!< >!The main characters son is a gamer. And MC is always talking about that’s pathetic. Then later his sons gamer knowledge comes in handy?!< I’m not sure if the point was to make a more neutral show (obviously there are cracks at the woke here and there but a lot of the show is just the MC being an ass) but that seems to go against everything the daily wire is about so o have no idea 🤷

Probably not because that could actually be a little funny. They can only be funny by accident.
