Oh wow didn’t expect the end.
While I agree with the message, we should also be teaching boys that it’s okay to cry.
Boys can cry and I will hug them bc it’s okay to be sad and cry
The point of this ad (to the second commenter) is that, in telling boys they can’t cry because they will be perceived as weak, you create emotionally-stunted men whose only method of expressing themselves is through violence and aggression. In saying “man” is interchangeable exclusively with “strong”, they grow up to believe that anyone who ISN’T a man (women, queer people) IS weak, and thus they have warrant to harm them.
These things are linked.
In ending toxic masculinity, you end misogyny and queerphobia. That’s why the ad says “Start with the boys”, because at such a young age, males are susceptible to all sorts of harmful ideals. I myself was, and it’s taken me almost 20 years to wash them off, and you know what? There’s still more to do.
In creating emotionally-healthy young boys, you create an environment where men respect others who are different to them. In ending traditional masculinity, you end patriarchy.
Basically, don’t tell young boys that emotions are a weakness. Everyone has emotions. It’s not a weakness.

I hope the next Elder Scrolls game moves away from the oversimplification BS that Skyrim introduced
It won’t
Don’t crush my dreams I just want classes back. And more specific weapon skills
Well, Skyrim is by far Bethesda’s best selling game, so i doubt they’re going to change the formula now. I’ve pretty much given up on future elder scrolls. On the off chance that they do make one that’s more complicated it would be a nice surprise, but i wouldn’t count on it.
I guess I’ll just mod the shit out of morrowind and play that
Honestly, Skyrim gets my preference if only because levelling up doesn’t make you weaker if you don’t do it in just the right way.
How did you do it in Oblivion again? Sacrifice a goat at midnight or something?
I like skyrim because in oblivion, you had to start out knowing what class you were gonna pick and plan main skills accordingly. In skyrim, you can just do whatever the fuck you want. I like that. It gives more freedom. Like, I could be going “Hmm, I’ve been a rogue too long. I’m gonna try being a mage now!” without making a whole new character.

this is easily the most confusing part of grandma got run over by a reindeer. why is it there. why is it necessary. why the tropical theme in a Christmas special. why could one of them not just say “we’ll make her sue santa.” this is one minute or so of animation that is completely baffling.
The whole scene plays out like a zelda cdi cutscene
