That comic has been in every b'aww thread ever.

"OP is a faggot" has never been more appropriate than now.

And I don't mean it negatively. George Takei is awesome.

This post is meaningless unless we know when you were in high school. For all we know it could be last year or last decade.

I wasn't using it as a time frame, so much as a qualifier for why I was on DeviantArt.

George Takei's facebook page isn't even run by him, I remember reading an interview a while back where it's actually just a friend of his posting things that George likes.

[–]darkreality20 0 points1 point ago

He (or rather the page) said it's run by Brad, his husband (longtime lover, not sure if they're actually, legally married). This was, I dunno, month or two ago. Makes sense, they live together, George Takei has been working on his musical, I guess Brad manages the social networking stuff.

Takei's response to the controversy? I totally read it in his voice. Quite sure he wrote it. No source, kinda just feel it.

[–]gregclouds 21 points22 points ago

Please explain to me how calling him a "faggot" is not supposed to be taken negatively? Calling a homosexual a faggot is not cool in any way.

[–]TheFigment 9 points10 points ago

Dude, that's so Takei!

[–]vmrchs 0 points1 point ago

Except that Takei is not actually OP. But he's still awesome.

I'm assuming you are not gay? (correct me if I'm wrong, but the gay guys I know tend not to look at pictures of naked girls that much)

[–]risto1116 311 points312 points ago

It blew up cause girls were trying to be all "oh no, that's not me" and guys were trying to do the whole "yup, that's women for ya."

If we get this pissy over a comic about men and women, we're going to start rioting and the Muslim world is going to be like "Jesus man, calm down. It's just a comic."

[–]Killpill 0 points1 point ago

Same. She broke up with me countless times and drove me to therapy and anti-depressants.

She still tries to talk to me.

It's been a long four years.

[–]pandahavoc 0 points1 point ago

For me, we'd just spent a happy year together at college, just shy of two years dating. No serious arguments in a long time, no cheating, no indications that anything was wrong. I was even finally getting along well with her fundamentalist Christian family. We go home for the summer, and 2 weeks later it's "I've had doubts about our relationship for months, and I don't love you anymore." After which she started hanging out with a prick who only showed up at her house from 10 at night till 4 in the morning. Then dropped him and started dating one of my closest friends. All of this I was expected to take with complete equanimity, and when (obviously) I was rather distraught and emotionally hurt by all this, I was made out as a bad guy.

[–]robutts 0 points1 point ago

hah, that's what I thought up until my gf of 5 years cheated on me and then left me for some douche she used to work with (not even the same guy she cheated on me with). I'm sure it's not going to be the same for you and your woman, but we all think we're invulnerable when we're happy in relationships. Just sayin, nothing is invulnerable, and be sure to hold on to whatcha got.

[–]Roland1232 2 points3 points ago

wouldn't leave me for a bad guy

How do you know this?

[–]warrenseth 2 points3 points ago

geez, thanks guys for all the positivity tonight

[–]Highlighter_Freedom 1 point2 points ago

You... wouldn't leave her anyways? As in, even if she left you? That's... kind of creepy.

[–]warrenseth 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, chalk that up to it being late, and me studying for college. I wanted to write either.

[–]mindaika -1 points0 points ago

I also am a sensitive romantic guy. That's about it for similarities though. My last girlfriend left me for a guy she'd been dating for six months prior to the breakup, because he made more money than I do.

[–]robutts -1 points0 points ago

tough break dude. i guess you learn something from every situation though, do you think you've learned how to pick out gold-digging bitches now?

[–]mindaika -2 points-1 points ago

Nope, since she was like the third or fourth one.

[–]lyssafaith 1 point2 points ago

THANK YOU. I could try to say that I'm a girl who doesn't want a bad boy but no one will believe me because they think we all do. Which is bullshit.

[–]atafies -2 points-1 points ago

found a girl that would love me to death and wouldn't leave me for a bad guy

It's likely the people who have had girls do that sort of thing to them thought this too.

I won't be a Negative Ned though, if you really think she's good (and her faults aren't being hidden from you by rose-tinted glasses) then I'm happy for ya.

[–]giraffesaurus -1 points0 points ago

I've met them, I just stay the hell away from them. There are a lot of good ladies out there!

Yes, on second thought, this is more the case. I think it is possible to tell early on if a girl's gonna be evil.

I love that artists work, but he seems to have a bit of a niceguy pity party going on.

[–]Lecks 3 points4 points ago

An artist expressing frustrations through his work? My mind is full of fuck.

[–]FuchsiaGauge 5 points6 points ago

I'm not faulting him for expressing his frustrations through his work. I'm faulting his perception of women in general.(And I love art) It just falls into silly tropes of how women only date assholes and are soooo mean to the "nice guys". Similarly, that women only want men that can give them more things than other men. Did you look at all of the work? It's kind of obvious. :P

[–]Jukepot 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, he seems like sort of a dickwad concerning women.

[–]Kotaniko 36 points37 points ago

Gay people get dumped too. Then again, with looks like those, and his career history, who in their right mind would dump him?

[–]maintain_composure 11 points12 points ago

Of course they get dumped, I mostly meant that this comic is an illustration of a stereotype many men hold about women and it's been posted on Reddit in that context many times. Naturally the genders can be reversed or mirrored, I just don't really expect most Redditors to read this as gender neutral. I'm curious if Takei posted this as more of a "breakups suck" thing or a "so glad I don't date women" thing...

[–]Handsonanatomist 6 points7 points ago

Or "this is funny, have a laugh my friends/fans".

[–]maintain_composure 3 points4 points ago

What's funny about it?

[–]Handsonanatomist 4 points5 points ago

Well, having lived it myself almost a decade ago, I giggled. I imagine a few other redditors have similar memories and are now glad we've grown up, moved on, and are dating a higher caliber of women now.

[–]maintain_composure 1 point2 points ago

That makes sense. The first time I saw it I thought it was just sad. Also, I guess I've seen this posted as "Aren't women such bitches?" a few too many times, because all I see it as now is yet another excuse for all the bitter "I'm such a nice guy, why don't girls like me" whiners to come out of the woodwork again.

[–]jgzman -1 points0 points ago

I think it's done as male/female because most people, upon seeing a M/F pair in bed assume they are in a relationship. For a M/M or F/F pair, the association is not as immediate, nor as strong.

[–]Kotaniko 0 points1 point ago

Ah, I understand. I would imagine that he posted it under the pretense of the former reason, as he seems to be the kind of guy who isn't too keen on promoting the idea that gay people choose to be gay, even facetiously.

[–]heriman 5 points6 points ago

alright so how is this funny? and why did it get so many upvotes?

[–]roscoe_jones 15 points16 points ago

I don't understand how anyone can have some sort of organized discussion in the inextricably linear format of Facebook. There's nothing I hate more than trying to read a "discussion" on Facebook.

[–]ChiefBromden -3 points-2 points ago

Nope. Living the Reddit dream. Beautiful Asian wife.

[–]Contero 2 points3 points ago

There is something amazingly creepy about the fact that the only word you used to describe your wife is asian.

Not beautiful, smart, funny, dependable, or amazing-in-bed. She's asian.

Edit: I'm retarded

[–]ChiefBromden 1 point2 points ago

really? because, you know it says Beautiful right there before Asian. Or were you just focused on "Asian" - Typical redditor. ;)

[–]Contero -1 points0 points ago

Hmm. I fully admit to being wrong and having terrible reading skills. Still think that describing your wife as asian is kind of creepy though.

[–]ChiefBromden 1 point2 points ago

It was part of my joke. My joke being redditors drooling over Asian women. Without saying it...I couldn't say 'I'm living the redditor dream, I'm married' - just doesn't hold as much water....jokes sir. a bit of humor.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]ChiefBromden -2 points-1 points ago

by "one" you mean, a woman?

[–]TypicalBetaNeckbeard 0 points1 point ago

No, a dude.

[–]toadwarrior -1 points0 points ago

That doesn't apply to all women (obviously) but that trait is quite common amongst women. Just like a gold digger is way more likely to be female.

But the reason women like douche bags is because they like men. As much as someone tells you that you should be a sensitive guy with pink shirts, that shit won't get you laid. The older women and the more they want babies then there is a higher chance they'll want someone who acts like a stereotypical man.

Reddit nice guys are just pussies and women don't like pussies.

[–]Wadatah2526 34 points35 points ago

As a guy I can safely say I'm tired of this weinery nice guy bullshit.

Edit: Downvote away. Quit complaining about "finishing last" or how you've always been that guy. No one cares. Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Alas, good sir, my upvote is all I have to give. I agree. People are victims of their own minds. This gender stereotype is stupid from both ends.

[–]Wadatah2526 11 points12 points ago

Yup. This BS needs to stop. Not all girls are heartless whores and not all guys are assholes. Both groups need to stop hiding behind those stereotypes as an excuse to feel sorry for themselves.

[–]jesusinabottle 3 points4 points ago

Or everyone can just kill themselves. I don't see why more people don't consider this option.

[–]Lecks -1 points0 points ago

Frustrations: I just got heartbroken by a scumbag who's a sorry excuse for a human being.

[–]kilo4fun -3 points-2 points ago

I'm a guy who used to be a nice romantic guy. Now I'm just a bitter ass. What happens is I'll be nice to a chick and if she starts walking all over me because I'm nice, I'll call her out on it and start to treat her like she's treating me. Sometimes it goes over well, sometimes it doesn't.

[–]dudSpudson -2 points-1 points ago

I know that feel. I am the same way. My first few serious relationships I wanted to be real good to my woman. I did everything for them and looking back I was too nice and romantic to them. I ended up getting walked on and cheated on a couple times because of it. I too am now a bitter dick because of all this. And you know what is funny? Now that I don't really give 2 shits about women more and more of them want to jump on my dick. It's really like a sick joke how things work. I guess women want that "chase" and you should probably give it to them.

[–]badmannerz 0 points1 point ago

Just one more reason why I love GT.

[–]danmayzing 3 points4 points ago

Have you ever seen how quickly ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that George Takei posts on FB blows up? It's pretty ridiculous. I love him to death but he gets an incredible number of likes and shares instantaneously when he posts.

Most of the things I see him put up are things I already saw on Reddit, but he admits that they are usually things brought to his attention by his fans. Still, what an awesome dude.

[–]workpuppy 0 points1 point ago

Always popular because it plays to Reddits collective prejudice against women.

It's bullshit in my experience, but that won't stop all the bitter fucks from upvoting it for the 20th time.

[–]radamanthine 8 points9 points ago

If this site were mostly women, I'd bet that the condition would be reversed. It's just due to demographics. People are universally shitty.

There are just as many shitty men as women, muslims as christians as atheists, liberals and conservatives, demographic a as demographic b.

Grab a selection of demographic a, and they'll rant on demographic b every time- while ignoring the failings of demographic a.

[–]caveofnecrogond 1 point2 points ago

I can see where you're going with this, but I disagree in the context of the comic. How many guys break up with a nice, perfect woman in order to go with the manipulative, abusive bitch?

There are definitely differences in what each gender tends to like and put up with in the opposite sex. That's just how they're wired.

[–]radamanthine 0 points1 point ago

Plenty. Ever hear "don't stick your dick in crazy"? It's repeated ad nauseum on this site. Crazy chicks are fun. But they're usually pretty shitty, overall.

The ways that the different genders are shitty might be slightly different, but overall rates of psychological issues are almost identical for men and women. They just present differently (borderline vs antisocial, for example). I wouldn't be surprised if down the line- when we actually know what we're doing vis a vis etiologies for certain psychiatric conditions- that we've actually given two different names for the same structural or biochemical problem just with different phenotypical presentations dictated by social cues. Perhaps not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[–]jjcoola 0 points1 point ago

ding ding ding, I wish I had a better prize to give than an upvote!

[–]Highlighter_Freedom 13 points14 points ago

Come on. This plays to a particular fear about someone who may exist. I see nothing in the comic that suggests that all women would behave thus, and the popularity could easily stem from recognition of one person in a given reader's life who behaved like this.

[–]workpuppy -5 points-4 points ago

Oh yea, I missed the part of the comic that stated, "This does not apply to all women."

Positive representations of women don't exist here. You can be a friend-zoning bitch, an attention-whore, a cheating whore, or you can just be ugly.

I'm a guy. I'm not a feminist. I'm not PC. But this place makes me hate my gender.

[–]bultonic -1 points0 points ago

I don't think that people should have to specify their jokes don't apply to all women. If you make that statement, you are sexist. If you portray one member of a demographic poorly, you shouldn't have to specify that you aren't generalizing.

Positive representations of women don't exist here. You can be a friend-zoning bitch, an attention-whore, a cheating whore, or you can just be ugly.

Now that just isn't true. Some people call women these things, but that doesn't mean these are the only things women are seen as. It means there are a few assholes.

I'd say you are making some unfair generalizations. Is there a problem? Most definitely. Is it as black and white as you said it is? Probably not.

[–]Jukepot 1 point2 points ago

You're only being downvoted because nobody wants to admit you're right.

[–]workpuppy 1 point2 points ago

Eh. What does it cost me? Internet points? Big deal.

I love calling Reddit on it's hypocrisy.

[–]textests -2 points-1 points ago

But where does it say it applies to all women? You can't have it both ways

[–]workpuppy 1 point2 points ago

That's just too stupid to respond to. If I say, "Men suck," do you automatically assume its just one man?

This is obviously a blanket statement.

[–]Highlighter_Freedom -2 points-1 points ago

That's just untrue. Sure, there are negative depictions of women on reddit. There are also a lot of arguements on Reddit, because not everyone shares those views.

If you really think every negative implication about any woman needs to be prefaced with "This doesn't apply to all women," or it automatically does, you're crazy. That's not the way language works.

Let's take an analogy. Lets say I make a comic about my friend Jake, who is a mooch. The punchline of the comic is that Jake takes stuff without ever paying me back--ha, ha, ha so relatable! Don't we all know a guy like Jake? Solid gold humor!

But according to your logic, because I didn't specifically say so, clearly my comic is suggesting that everyone named Jake is a mooch. Or maybe all men. Or all black people, if the Jake drawn in my comic happens to be black. Clearly, I'm some kind of monster, and probably a racist.

But isn't it obvious how stupid that is? The relatability comes from knowing someone like Jake, not a claim that everyone is like Jake.

Likewise here. The relatability comes from knowing someone who behaves like Redhead-Girl. Not a claim that all women act like redhead girl.

So, please stop insinuating that everyone who upvoted this comic is some kind of misogynistic pig who hates women. They are not. Well, I mean, some of them probably are--statistics and all that--but they aren't simply because they relate to this comic.

[–]workpuppy 1 point2 points ago

I've been here a while, and this stuff gets upvoted (over, and over...This is at least the third time I've seen it), but you will never see the equivalent from a female perspective.

So draw a comic, where a guy fucks a girl just because he wants to, then never bothers to call, and see how many upvotes that gets.

[–]Highlighter_Freedom -1 points0 points ago

Naturally, a website that is predominantly male will see more users relate to that side of the equation, and that recognition will manifest as upvotes. Just as you see lots of memes about school upvoted, while relatively few about yachting. That's not because yachting is bad, or that the school posters hate yachting, it's just because, due to Reddit's demographics, more users will relate to the school topics.

Likewise here. Furthermore, even if there is an unfair bias toward male-aimed comics, that doesn't make any individual comic sexist. While Reddit at large may or may not be a hive of misogynistic bigotry, this comic is not, in itself, as horribly sexist as you imply. That's all I'm saying.

Sure it is. It's all about re-enforcing the stereotype that girls only like and stay with guys who treat them like shit. Who does that benefit? Not girls.

The whole nice guy thing is bullshit. There is no one more manipulative than a "nice guy" who uses a synergistic combo of punishment (via guilt) and reward (via attention) to constantly mindfuck his girl.

[–]jjcoola 7 points8 points ago

The issue is online communities have a lot of guys who were very awkward coming up, so when they find someone who will actually date them they give it 110% (and having never dated another women as an adult have nothing to base a healthy relationship on) and pursue the relationship like no other. This is why you see so many forever aloners meet a girl and propose within a year. And Inevitably things go wrong and since this was the only metric of how women act in their love lives it becomes the default.

After the breakup the whole bitches and whores mentality comes into play.

and these type of girls do not exist.

[–]brianbrianbrian 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, the ones who pull that shit aren't ever that honest or self-aware.

They do fucking exist though.

[–]workpuppy -2 points-1 points ago

So that makes it okay to give blanket shit to all women, and to mass approve shit like this over and over and over?

I had a shitty first "real" relationship. I blamed her, and I blamed myself, and I moved the fuck on.

I blame Reddits girl hate on people who have never dated, and aren't honest enough to blame themselves.

Yea perhaps, I'm just trying to explain to people so my comment pages are not full of feminist/bitches and whores debates instead of comments about the actual OP. It's to the point where it is EVERY thread almost.

[–]Tygeminator 3 points4 points ago

Well, in my teens I remember a lot of girls like this. The numbers dwindled as I and the women aged. I do not know if I just became better to pick or if the women themselves improved.

[–]brianbrianbrian 0 points1 point ago

The former. Some people do improve, but a lot of shitty people just stay shitty. If you aren't shitty, there's also the whole "different social circles" thing.

Have you considered the possibility that you're the manipulative bad boy?

So those are the options? It's either her, or it's you?

[–]TypicalBetaNeckbeard 1 point2 points ago

Hey, guess who sounds bitter here?

[–]workpuppy 1 point2 points ago

I am bitter. I'm a member of an otherwise decent community that is rife with misogyny. Why wouldn't I be bitter?

That's all KarmaDecay finds, but it's definitely been on reddit 10x or so before.

Also, This is why it is justifiable to oppress women, because they are awful people, and we should get rid of them all.

George Takei, being awesome since he was the first man being allowed to drive a multi-gajillion dollar starship, and he was asian!

Goddamit, why couldn't I have been the first one to post this? Spare me your asshole responses. I just wanted the Comment Karma +1.

What is with the guys eye. Why so green?

[–]risingpulse 0 points1 point ago

This picture has been around forever. Hell I had in my 4chan folder in 2006. Good on Takei, shame on people for not knowing about it already.

[–]Two_Oceans_Eleven 0 points1 point ago

Man, grabbing a boob while gnawing an ear. That just seems nice right now.

[–]electrolemon 0 points1 point ago

The title is something that happens to everything George Takei has ever posted to Facebook ever. And I don't understand why that would be relevant to the submission. Or why you thought that meant you should submit it.

You guys realize George Takei's Facebook is essentially Reddit or 9GAG, right?

[–]flawlesslylogical -1 points0 points ago

If they replaced 'manipulative badboy' with just 'someone else' it'd be far more realistic and relate able.

[–]Peaslepuff 0 points1 point ago

What's awesome is that the one guy I saw who posted it on Facebook is a complete asshole.

Anyway, I freely admit that I go for the douchebags rather than the nice guys. That's one reason I decided to just stop dating.

Been there done that. Thankfully she came back 13 years later and we are happily married with 1 son and another on the way. I do believe we are the exception to the rule though.

[–]darkreality20 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand the controversy.

Insecure girls bounce between dangerous and safe guys. The dangerous guys fulfill their fantasies, but when they get... you know... dangerous (abusive, or otherwise dangerous, perhaps to others, or maybe just reckless), they turn to the safe guy. Then when they get tired of being put on the pedestal, they seek out the dangerous guy, or another dangerous guy.

When they grow up, they start looking for the right guy. They might have fun with the wrong ones for a bit, but they're actually pursuing Mr. Right. And when they find him, they don't let him go for anything.

[–]DrHasnoCash -1 points0 points ago

For real....bitches be stupid

[–]Jukepot 0 points1 point ago

She'd probably be happier with the "manipulative bad-boy". Guys who make stuff like this aren't really thinking about what the other person wants.

George Takei repost is best repost... apparently.
