  • @Cecilia-ky3uw
    @Cecilia-ky3uw 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    To be frank, I'm not watching this specific video, the comments section genuinely seems to make it clear enough for me the general point of the video. Ai Art is not stealing. Using training data is no more stealing than when I write using Shakespeare's words(of which there are thousands). It's like reading a book then writing a book in a similar style. It is not theft, the copyright argument is frankly nonsensical to me. Killing the 'fun' creative jobs mirrors arguments against factories, which by the way took away toymaking from artisans(which I'd argue is an artform). Society got better for it, cheaper, more, better quality items. Artists have no right to their job anymore than the Artisans did. Yes, the artists will not be able to make a living off their art as easily anymore, whatever, their job simply becomes a hobby. Society in turn gets to benefit from the abundance of art ai can create, good in both quantity and quality. Frankly I'm tired of the ludditism going on. And I hope from the bottom of my heart these 'artists' fail in their campaign to shut down ai using regulatory measures. And on artistic merit for that matter, I don't believe artists of all people should call anything soulless, that reflects to me a poverty of the imagination and a closed-minded attitude. Nature can be beautiful. but it has no intent. And so the same for ai, it's up to us to interpret what they generate, and there's nothing wrong with a lack of intent.

    I have not seen this video but i have to tell you. I am a 26 years old man who is slowly transforming himself from a "pretty boy" to an athletic man. Guys, don't listen to women who say pretty boys are attractive. When i was skinny no woman was even accidentally glancing at my direction. Now that i gained about 20 lbs of muscles suddenly i recognize women are checking me out. I wouldn't body shame you. Be whatever you want as long as you are happy and harmless. You don't have to change your lifestyle to attract women. But you must know the truth and the truth is that women want "manly men". Don't believe anyone who says otherwise.

    I honestly didn't know what I was growing up. I was liked by girls for coming off pretty (though I was weird which scared them off) I was called a pretty boy, other times I was assumed an F**kboy purely based on my appearance alone. It was... A rough life, my sister attempted to hook me up with her friends but I wasn't interested because I pretty much gynophobic at the end of the day, I hung around a few girls growing up so I'm not alien to the girls perspective, nor am I alien to the males, I dealt with shittu people on all ends. And I was one of those people who DESPISED Justin Bieber and One Direction. Growing up I think I always look back realising I pretty much saw it all. I knew how obsessive fangirls are to pretty boys and being the youngest lead me to taking a lot of perspectives in. And now being someone who takes other perspectives in, it's interesting to see how I was even part of the feminine make look, and also currently looking masculine. Crazy how if I was in a spot where girls likes me for being a "pretty boy" while being despised by Indian dudes in a public GC. My point being is that it's refreshing and a solid reminder of how to look back and see what direction you want to put yourself in. And I'm still trying to find who I am even at the age of 23.

    I’m a 6’4” pale male (I’m white af) with low body fat and long black hair. I kind of look like Johnny depp had deep homosexual passionate intercourse with Keanu reeves. Most people assume I’m one of those Andrew Tate worshippers and it pisses me off so much. All because I got lucky with my face and height. I’ve gotten turned down jobs cause “you don’t fit our criteria for diversity hire” or “sorry you’re not what we pictured” cause I don’t have a white name…

  • @ionji7951
    @ionji7951 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I was a member of those communities, but I never followed Andrew Tate since he wasn't trustfully in my eyes do to what he has done or what he was promoting. I will stick to me since I don't want to generalize, but the reason I've joined the redpill community was because I was feeling quite lost and I was hating what everyone around me said, but also the fact that I grew mostly with my mother since my parents divorce when I was 9 or 10. When I grew up I've always wanted to be a man, but without my father I didn't knew how a man should be. This plus the fact that I miss him pushed me to people like Hamza and others from this niche. I never was 100% pro to they're arguments, but I seeked out what were the best thing. What can I say, I really like to behave like a strong man, but since I've left the community a few months back, it became very hard for me to be strong because I don't feel like it's someone, a man, outhere who can support me and what I am doing Anyway, I never liked how contradictory were the things that they would say. I mean, they say the fact that we should have faith in God, but they also behave like they never read the Bible, it's written how we should kind with the others, but they are very rude. It's written how we should forgive one another, but they are aggressive. Also, the last nail in the coffin of me leaving those communities was the fact that I realized the fact that they saw us like some walking wallets. Most of them weren't there to really help us, they were there just to profit. When I realize this, I packed up all my things and left There are many more things wrong with them, but I will stop here. I just wanna say that great men are there. On youtube I know 2, but also irl

    seems sketchy to have a crowd of teenage girls who want to marry you. 12:40 yea having a sea of teen women fans and marketing adult men to them is just asking to create a super predator. that guy/kid is gonna hit 18 and be in a sea of shit as those girls hit puberty, turn 18 etc(what if youre popular for 5-10 years but turn 18 halfway through). if you end up like jb driving supercars at 16 with a sea of fangirls the popstar death fate is partially sealed. the culture in hollywood is already predatory to teen girls. so many people would have looked the other way. meanwhile tens of thousands of women begging to be s.r.-ed, people are crafty, lie and at some point a few girls could easily make him stop thinking logically if they played their cards right. how crazy could 100-1000-10000 make him?

    The men in the society feel a need for a role model on what it takes to be a man, which is a valid concern. That's who those alpha male contents cater to. But it's so easy to go overboard and take inspiration from the most 'alpha' or 'masculine' of them all, even if the examples are morally dubious. Hence their interests in fictional villains.

    lol it's always been obvious to me ever since I was a teen girl that men hate them so much because 1. they are jealous and/or 2. they might even be attracted to these men themselves secretly. they are so beautiful that any gender can be into them lol. toxic masc straight men are by far more uncomfortable admitting this than mostly straight women can be when we have "girl crushes" on our girl favs. that's always been my theory at least haha. also... for some reason men never understand that what a lot of women want isn't what men imagine to be "the ideal man". it's so bizarre to me that no matter HOW much we tell them we think Timothee Chalamet is sexy, they just don't believe us and cover their eyes and ears and go "la la la no! women like swoll gym bros over 6 feet!!!"... um okay sure whatever bro??? lol. also everything in this video I agree with too.

    I used to be a “pretty boy” and I have A LOT of thoughts on this topic: So the “manly men” have been told their whole life and internalized the idea that any level of femininity in a man is bad because apparently it implies gayness, and of course in this mentality, gay = bad. They’re taught that the only way to be a valid and acceptable man is to be as masculine and tough as humanly possible at all times. They have a patriarchal image of the world where only the “true” men are at the top, so any implication of femininity or queerness will lower their perceived standing in the hierarchy to that of the group they’ve been compared to. And since they know how badly women and gay men are treated, they’re terrified that they’ll be subjected to exactly what they’ve been subjecting those people to. The other element is jealousy. I got a lot of attention from every gender back when I was a cute lil twink. Some cis het guy friends started pulling back more and more when they saw the attention I got from girls. Ironically, embracing my pansexuality and therefore not needing to be afraid of the perception of queerness is exactly the kind of stuff that made those girls interested in me. For example, I was literally the only guy dancing at my senior prom while all the guys slouched around the edges of the room, so every girl in my class was dancing with and grinding on me while their dates glared. Some said something to me in the bathroom and I was like “dude literally all you have to do is dance with your date. That’s all they want to do. They WANT to grind on you but you’re ignoring them. I promise if you just dance with your date and pay attention to her you WILL get laid tonight.” The few guys who listened to my advice later reached out to me to apologize and thank me because I was, in fact, right. TL;DR: toxic masculinity for the sake of getting girls is the very thing preventing guys from getting girls and they jealous of the guys who aren’t bound by that insecurity.

    I just noticed that brown skin pretty boys basicslly did not exist in the 2000s beyond very few, like Omarion, Chris Brown, and... B5? I was a 5 by 2000 and was deep into anything entertainment pumped out in the U.S.A..

    I use to be called “pretty boy” all the time when I was younger in high school and college. Would get a lot of attention from everyone. They don’t usually age well though. Now I’m in my 30s and barely get any looks 😂

    Asian men in the West have been emasculated by Western media for so long, it's nice to see K-pop helping to redefine masculinity where taking care of ourselves isn't strictly a "feminine" thing any more. It'd be nice to see that kind of representation for South- and South-East Asian guys as well, but this is a step in the right direction.

    The Millenial searing hate for Justin Bieber was an inexplicable phenomenon, back in 2010, when most millenials were in college or were already working, we were definitely too old and matured enough to be bothered by a 16 year old pretty boy who was just doing his thing trying to make it in the music industry, but for an unknown reason we were just filled with fury whenever we heard "baby baby baby ohhh". Oh, and Friday by Rebecca Black.
