If it weren't for Smash Bros. I'd be inclined to take exception to that.
I consider games where you play as an eldritch abomination who runs around eating everybody for no apparent reason manly. Don't you?
Well, that looks a lot like a bazooka, so based on no information whatsoever about the whatever show that is, OK.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica. You should watch it. It has a scene where one of the characters tries to destroy a monster by firing several thousand RPGs at it, some anti-ship missiles, and to top it all off a burning tanker lorry. It's the manliest thing ever. (Well, manliest thing to watch if you're masculine. The vast majority of the Madoka fans I've met in real life have been LGBTQI women, but that's probably mainly reflective of the crowd I hang around.)
Ah yes, the best of the ponies (this thread becomes brony thunderdome in 3, 2, 1...). However, that's a bit like saying "ah yes, I prefer the Turbo S, the best of the Volkswagen New Beetles." Rather avoid all of them, TYVM.
I can't stand My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic either (despite the fact it has the genius that is Lauren Faust behind it), but that doesn't stop me from considering its fanbase to be as manly as a fanbase can get. (Seriously, bronies are awesome.)
(T)he Prius got all the publicity, and ended up becoming the car of choice for obnoxious leftists who want to make a big show of saving the planet. And I can't really think of many associations less cool than that.
Have you ever considered that one might choose which car they want to drive based off of factors other than politics? You know, like, economics? You wouldn't see me in a Prius if it weren't for how hideously expensive petrol is, but petrol is hideously expensive, so I just got out of a Prius immediately before typing this. Also, I really struggle to see what is either obnoxious or uncool about being left wing or wanting to "save the planet" as you inaccurately put it. ('Prevent a serious global environmental disaster' would be far better wording.)
Remember the video where the Prius lady accosts a pickup driver and berates them for polluting? That's the kind of person that drives a Prius.
Really? I've never accosted any pickup drivers and berated them for polluting... Should I? In fact, I feel the urge to get in the Prius, go to Richmond Park, and accost one of the park rangers as they get out of their Hilux and berate them for polluting suddenly...
And if I'd been the pickup driver in the video, when she accused me of spewing pollution, I might well have said "I know, and it feels soooooo goood", then left with a nice loud burnout.
That's some masochistic stuff you're into there...
I meant what I said. If everyone is driving around in gorgeous 3-cylinder hybrids like this, I'd have an easy time calling it a utopia.
Fixed.
Conflating anything Shinji has done in the entire twenty year history of the franchise with "manly tears" is about as out there as anything White & Nerdy has said on the subject.
Honestly, I was just looking for a good GIF of a masculine individual crying. But that's the thing though, Shinji is ultimately masculine. He's a very different sort of masculine to the sort of masculinity @
White & Nerdy seems to be so infatuated with, but nonetheless he is masculine.
