    Yeah, being prosocial. Which gender is the prototypical school shooter one? Do any female role models for it exist yet?

    Do you suppose it’s due entirely to ‘models’ that women don’t shoot up schools? I wonder.

    Of course not just that, but male role models being violent and lone wolf-like in general. Some of that is inborn ballsack toxins testosterone too.

    How impressionable would you say you were/are to role models?

    I don’t think, as a kid, I had any. Or perhaps if I did they were a small handful of female teachers and librarians — but I’m not sure how much influence they had on my personality. I grew up fairly isolated, and that’s caused certain problems for me, so I’m interested in others’ perspectives on these kinds of things.

    You are an astute dude with long hair and glasses who wears crocs so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some influence there lol.

    I had like one role model as a kid aside from anime characters.

    Lol. I’ll choose not to interpret that as a backhanded compliment. (And anyway, is it really a stereotype of women to have a bad sense for fashion?!) ツ

    I was curious re. role models since you mentioned that you thought you turned out how you did because of societal expectations and all that. Would you say they were more general, undirected influences coming from society in general rather than specific people, then?

    @End I'm not sure as I haven't watched much or any anime recently. The only one I can think of is Mikasa. Like my post if I'm right?

    I wouldn't say I turned out the way I did because of societal expectations point blank directly like that, more like everyone is influenced by them to an extent. There's also how much things resonate with you as an individual. For example when I was a kid, I would tie my barbies up naked with toilet paper and make gallows with my legos and rubber bands and torture them lol. My dad is an ILI and abhorred girly things, so it seemed like I absorbed and bended to his values to some extent, but on the other hand it must have resonated with me too. I was not similarly "influenced" by other primary caretakers of mine in such a way- in quotations again because it only worked as far as it resonated with me, for my case.

    If society really did influence me that much, then I'd be like Meghan Trainor (horrible) or Ariana Grande or another MK Ultra robot like that.

    So I would say it's both society and individuals, but within the limits of what resonates with you.

    Thank you for the question. Made me think.

    Actually, my bf has also told me he thinks I'm manly, although not in a negative way, so he thinks I'd be aesthetic in a masculine way too. I am also taller than him.

    And the ****** thing comes from an SLE male friend of mine telling me that everyone thought he was gay in highschool, actually.
    I do aim to please. Tomboys are a well established fetish by this point. As are girls who are bit more "toned" than what most would consider normal for women. A recent anime has one such girl as a primary member of the cast. She's quite girly/feminine, but also a bit more muscular than normal. Just a little experiment, name what I'm thinking of and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    There's a whole lot I can get into there. However, let's just say that a girl of any kind going on a killing spree with an assault rifle wouldn't exactly fit the narratives the PTB are trying to push right now. Also, MK-ULTRA, look that one up. Whenever you hear of a mass shooting after knowing about that, yeah, not surprised or even shocked anymore.

    Depends on how badly you want/need a "role model". I never wanted or needed one very much, but that's because I apparently qualify as a religious fanatic insofar as I have always regarded the ultimate role model to be Jesus Christ and worked from that starting point for as long as I can remember. Dude did say and believe some very radical things, but he also had absolute confidence in his own words "being correct" to the point that he didn't use violence to push his views upon others.

    I mean, if you really are "the truth" incarnate, that ought to show in ways anyone not opposed to you root and branch will be able see and grasp. Given how that religion has spread primarily through persuasion and words rather than swords, cash rewards, and other such worldly considerations, well, that's just another point in its favor IMO. Plus, I mean, the witch test works pretty damn consistently. Who needs a pile of wood or something when merely asking someone to say a string of words they need not even mean works just as well .
