Maybe I don't have enough context, but yes? He certainly seems to be hated by the most libertine parts of the LGBT community.
For those kind of games, a lot? But they are multiplayer games: They have short, repetitive gameplay loops, and the fun is derived from competition with others.
It's true these types of videogames dominate nowadays, but part of that is that they're the most profitable kind of game (because, if successful, they get a lot more play-hours with (relatively) very little new development).

I think to have a good feel on this, you need to disassemble the problem:
- Is the median gay man closer to Andrew Sullivan (or maybe, less extremely, to a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy character) or to an assless-chaps wearing degenerate?
- What is the normies' perception of what the median gay guy is?
- What is their opinion on the gays across this AS-AC spectrum?
My intuition is that normies have a mostly good opinion of gay people, but that part of it is based on them thinking that the average gay guy is more "normal" than what they actually are.

Most girls are shy by default (at least when it comes to dating), particularly the ugly ones.
I am sympathetic to the idea of a bachelor tax, but it seems like it would either end up being a cruel punishment on the unattractive. And if you add some sort of loophole, it is bound to get exploited (see: professional rejecters)

When you're given too many choices (and particularly when some of those choices are sort of fake), your standards for "undesirable" grow to the point to which you end up alone instead of with someone that could be good enough if both parties could put an effort (which they won't, because they have "choices").
Then there's the issue of dating apps, they are just too frictionless: you can swipe like 300 people if you so wish, conversations will end abruptly for the slightest reason, plans will be cancelled at the last moment, etc.
This means that, even if you're engaging them in good faith, your incentive is to actively get many matches, and then you're suddenly setting up dates with n different girls, and then rather than having to individually reject the ones you like the least, your incentive is to ghost them.
It's all some sort of terrible prisoners' dilemma that brings the worst out of both sexes.

I think one could make a very reasonable argument that both women and men shouldn't have choices (or at least, not that many).

Can't we reach a compromise in which he's not banned, but we're free to call him a Jeet?
2 is just 3 with extra steps, right? Whoever is predisposed to coom themselves to death will do so, and those that remain will find some lifestyle or purpose enabled by the AI overlords.
Edit: I guess the question is if such a thing is possible a few generations in: We who exist in the world as it is, have absorbed powerful memes that lead us to not want to just rot away, but children born into a world of absolute abundance might not find them very convincing.

Wait, is it really a Trump protest song? That's hilarious, Truffaut was indeed right.

Ohhh, I was very confused as to what was supposed to be happening to the northern Spanish province that limits with Portugal.

I don't have much advice except perhaps (though this is so obvious I'm sure you've tried/considered it) try taking your child on walks with you, I see a lot of parents jogging/doing intense walks while carrying their babies in a cart, and I've even seen some structures that allow you to take them on hikes (of course, that'd depend on your proficiency level and the difficulty of the trails available to you). However:
I also grew up with very strong morals around food waste. My wife is happy to let stuff go to waste, so I'm left finishing a lot of soon-to-expire things by myself.
I just wanted to let you know that I know that feel, bro.

Well, now that mergers are back on the menu, he can theoretically buy a promising gaming company.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I do have a set of friends with MDS (though I have some other friends who are from somewhat to far to the right of me, to balance), and as long as you don't have to constantly hide who you are around them, it's fine to just let them complain for a while. Best of luck in these four years (maybe more?)!

If I did try to break ties with every person I know who is a TDS leftist... I'm pretty sure I'd have almost no one left in my life.
Are these people aware that you're right-adjacent?

Are those criminals net taxpayers or net welfare recievers? That is, how much would they cost you if they weren't imprisoned?

Two wrongs don't make a right, but they do sometimes cancel each other out.

Women demonstrate more agency than men when it comes to getting romance or finance scammed, abusing drugs and alcohol, or murdering people
What do you mean by this? For example, men do most of the murder, and murder is a high-agency activity. Agency doesn't mean "good outcomes".

Man, we have definitely gone too far in the other direction, but Gen-Xers are truly an insufferable generation.

Sounds like a show I'd really enjoy, but each time I think about its runtime, I flinch.
To quote the incoming vice-president of the United States: do it one bite at a time. It's definitely more of a young guy's anime, though.
Then why are you asking, man?
