I feel bad for the man, but he did this to himself to a certain extent.

You can tell him that because he's a feminist she won't sleep with him but sleep with the guy who chokes and slaps her.

Send him articles that might change his mind.

Oh no, you don't understand, Rick's a masochist, not a sadist.

Oh. Well then...

He doesn't do the slapping, he gets slapped

Why are you still friends with him? He's still a good person?

Yeah. And he didn't used to be like this

This situation in itself is a red pill

So you think he's in too deep?

At some point, he'll break. I think he's convinced himself that this situation is still somehow tenable or that it'll get better at some point. I think he thinks this because of the money and time he's had to sink into it. Until he realizes that she doesn't care how much she hurts him, this'll continue, and he's in so deep that the only person who can convince him of that is himself.

That really is tragic. They're in their early 20s?

I think they're both 21, 22 around there.

He doesn't have any older brothers that could guide him? Who was he before the brainwashing?

He was just a fairly normal college kid. slightly center-left, into some nerdy shit. All his siblings are way younger than he is, and his parents don't really care.

got an update from our mutual friend (not Rick): "overheard an argument between Larry and Dara.
I think she cheated on him when he drove her down when her dad died.
Something about him not being supportive enough
during that time.
when he dropped everything and took off work for 4 days to take her there."

this was back in October

That's so sad. But do you think that's just the way of the word? Some people crash and burn and their purpose is to teach others on not making those mistakes? For example, yourself. You're seeing this train wreck and making decisions that you will never tolerate someone behaving like that towards you. The way his gf is acting.

I mean, I'd rather a situation like this not happen to anyone, but who knows? This could lead to him becoming more shrewd and discerning.

It could also ruin him for relationships forever.

But he's so blind. And he might refuse anyone telling him how fucked up the whole situation is and he should leave her. At that point, it seems like it may be destiny that his purpose is to be an example of brainwashing and moral corruption.

Don't be like Larry. That's the ultimate lesson.

it gets worse. from the same group chat: "made fun of Rick. instantly Dara with the ... typing symbol.
>ohboi
Dara talking about how one of the maintnence guys flirts with her when Rick isnt there.
you're telling me some guys wait until a girl's boyfriend isnt around to make their move
SOUNDS FAMILIAR."

When you can describe an almost completely racially homogenous cast and crew as diverse just as long as they're not white. Leftism: not even once.

Wonder who's financing the movie 🤔

Disney

Sorry, *(((Disney)))

We gotta push how problematic Wakanda is.

It actually is if you're a pan-African nationalist. Because the scramble for Africa still happens in the Marvel universe, and Wakanda basically just hides behind their space magic walls and tells the entire rest of the continent to suck it. I'd be surprised if all the other African peoples didn't viscerally hate Wakanda

Yeah, it's one of those things that as far as I know gets glossed over in the comics.

Wakanda is a country of xenophobic nationalists. But it's ok when they do it?

initially I thought the main antagonist was going to be someone from another country who hates Wakanda, but apparently he's just an exile who's bootyblasted

oh, no. the movie was in danger of having some depth

I've got a whole plot outline for a white black panther, but nobody would ever buy it.

Alright Grumps you got me sold! What's the plot?

Super short version: T'Challa tries to call out president notTrump who later lights him up on twitter about Wakanda having a wall. This coincides with a country that neighbors Wakanda (notZimbabwe) undergoing a great social upheval. T'Challa takes in a bunch of escaping refugees. White refugees specifically. Among them is a young man who has a fairly standard hero set up. Highly intelligent, etc. The taking in on refugees triggers social issues within Wakanda itself. This finally leads to T'Challa passing the mantle of the Black Panther on to this kid as a sign of a new era for the nation. As well as seperating the Black Panther persona from the Wakanda Royal bloodline.

I personally would read it, but Marvel would never let that happen

I know. Even though it diversifies the country and champions the cause of refugees.

Now a days diversity means anti white really

Anywho what was everyone's first red pill?
