I'll start: it wasn't too long ago that one wasn't expected to pay out of one's coked up nose for programs (apps). One used to be able to buy a thing and then own the thing. Vacuum cleaners. Video games. Photoshops. Now one has to sign up for it, enter one's credit card info and fucking pay monthly for some harebrained "service."
And I blame all of you. Probably 9/10ths of you are on apple products and/or are locked into absolutely insane digital ecosystems and you all laid down and took it. All of you fucking libs. You took it, you normalized it, and fuck all of you.
My popular opinion: it's depressing how men are taught their bodies are gross and undesirable in popular media, because bodies are beautiful. I think it's why so many men lapse into apathy and don't take care of themselves.

There was an episode of Seinfeld about how men's bodies are ugly while women's bodies are beautiful and it just made me really ill. I know what they were trying to do to be funny, but it was still so unfair.
Although to be fair Jerry Seinfeld probably has a gross as hell body and he SHOULD be ashamed of it and himself in general.

The number of times the gag is just, man in his underwear. But also don't sexualize it so he's wearing big boxers and he's a fat sweaty man. It's just so fucking stupid.

Height is one of the dumbest things we associate with masculinity, by far.
I’m so exhausted by the idealized male body being ridiculously huge and muscular. More power to anyone who wants to get fit, but as soon as that turns into adding mass and getting visible abs, I’m tuning out.

Yeah, the shorthand in fiction is ugly = bad, so they try to add to whatever is considered undesirable. Meanwhile it's not like the guys of CTH are exactly Abercrombie models, so it speaks to a certain insecurity.
