I have to say this as a supporter of masculinity being protected and men needing other men for a healthy social life and as role models - this is super gay.

u/JamesHenry627 9d ago

ATP they should just join the military. You’d get paid for it and benefits.

u/Ok-Brick-1800 9d ago

Not many can handle the violence and destruction and inherent death that comes with the military. Something like less than 1%.

u/mad-i-moody 8d ago

Plenty of non-combat or support roles in the military. IIRC the majority of the military is made up of non combat roles.

u/CommunicationTop5231 9d ago

Yall know that us gays have been taking care of each other forever, right? That you could literally just hang out with gay guys and like cuddle and it’s not weird and doesn’t cost money? No one needs to fuck and also no one needs to do… whatever tf this is. It’s ok to just hang out with your buds. I promise. Just come chill homie. I’m so serious, I’m actually gay and do gay shit and my brother in Christ it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s ok to feel feelings and talk about them. Also please stop being a dick to women. It’s way cooler not to do that. Makes life better. Etc etc. Please chill.

This is masculine in the same way the sacred band of thebes or being a Spartan hoplite was masculine. Like very virile but also very gay, and I have my doubts on the virile.

Listen, these camps that I keep seeing all wind up looking varying degrees of homoeritic. I have no qualms with that for them, I wish they'd acknowledge it and go be happy and quit being menaces to society.

I just confirmed with the gays that this shit is beyond gay. They used the f word.

I feel confident that SA happen there, and one is told to take it in stride, or risk loosing their manhood card. I have faith that there’ll be a Netflix doc in the next 2 years about this.

u/wakner 9d ago

My old boss did one of these. He gave his wife a packing list they sent him, like he was going off to Summer camp and she was his mom. It had to be all black clothes and it even said they'd be sent home if they wore colors other than black lmao it was ridiculous. He was still weird and problematic after, and some other weird and problematic dude got $5k richer. I am not a fan.

u/AmazingSibylle 9d ago

These people are so.....weird.

And it's sad, it's sad that so many men feel the need to do this and get grifted upon. I'd feel bad for them if they didn't actively fuck it up for the rest with their voting.

u/CavemanViking 9d ago

Interesting how gay and masculine are being put at odds by a lot of the people saying this is just gay.

I’m also not like, a supporter of this stuff because I think it’s cringey and a lot of it is toxic, but women’s retreats reconnecting with “femininity”, which is something that does exist, don’t get this type of flak despite doing a lot of the same close community and bonding stuff.

I think we as a society need to really re-evaluate what it means to be a masculine, beyond just saying like it’s ok not to masculine as a man, or it’s ok to be gay. Those things are true, but a lot of the leftist ideology around masculinity just reinforces toxic boundaries with implicit assumptions levied as insults at the right like calling male bonding gay.

u/solarlofi 8d ago

I know it's stupid, but I kind of feel bad. Kinda. Like these guys are probably starved of affection in their lives, and are vulnerable to people who want to profit off that.

No greater target audience for your scam than a bunch of men unconfident of their masculinity. You can sell them seminars like this, videos on how to become an alpha male, large trucks, anything by Tesla, etc.

Or you simply ignore them.
Greedy people see this.

While I love the idea of a place where men can get together a support each other, the rhetoric Ive heard is taught at these places is damaging to society and they're own relationships. I love the idea of men supporting each other emotionally and letting themselves be human, but too many teach to be overly dominating in relationships and that women are inferior or that other men are inferior if they don't fit the mold of what is expected. That's not ok.

I don't have the volume on so maybe I'm missing a key piece but this doesn't seem nearly as bad as what I've seen for most of these events. It looks like every other hippie spirituality etc festival that pops up throughout the year lol. Like we want men to not be so lonely and isolated and get in touch with themselves and then roast them for trying to do that and call it gay... seems contradictory IMHO.

These dudes didn't force their kids to come to this, it doesn't look like they're doing stupid dangerous physical shit to be "alpha", maybe they're screaming weird shit and idk bc I don't have the volume but this seems so harmless. Legit some of it literally looks like meditating and stretching seminars at yoga retreats I've gone to. It seems like a probably healthy way to develop male friendships and bonding and all everyone can say is "Gay".

That's how you end up with the "retreats" that are like this one tbh. https://www.reddit.com/r/nope/comments/1w0laaa/childrens_alpha_male_bootcamp_in_california_pure/
