=== Solid Podcast Recommendation (03:40) ===

[00:00:22]  Greetings, true friends.
[00:00:24]  Today I want to address some recent blasphemies and heretical views I heard.
[00:00:29]  First of all, though, I would like to say that the podcast, which is linked below with Tuantom, MasterChim and my man, Jack Donovan, a really, really solid fucking podcast.
[00:00:42]  Please do yourself a favor and listen to it.
[00:00:45]  It's not often I recommend something in earnest, but this is really good.
[00:00:49]  If you're a man, you will get 10 plus in masculinity and a critical chance of resisting feminized behavior.
[00:00:55]  So great talk about masculinity below.
[00:00:57]  However, there was one thing I could not let lay when I listened to the podcast and I had to stand up for my Elven brother Legolas because these three intellectual heavyweights as it were, they saw a problem with that Legolas was one of the most popular characters in Lord of the Rings and Fellowship of the Ring and I kind of reacted because I think your analysis there was dead wrong.
[00:01:25]  It is not the case that Legolas is one of the most popular characters because he is an unthreatening and nice elf.
[00:01:33]  In accord with masculine ideals, you're not based on how you look but on how you perform.
[00:01:39]  So he can be as gay looking, as fae looking, as fucking vain as he wants.
[00:01:44]  When push comes to shove, he fucking delivers.
[00:01:47]  Let's just look at his martial prowess with a bow.
[00:01:49]  He has the highest kill count in, I think, I'm right now, but I think he has one of the higher kill counts in all of the books or the films.
[00:01:58]  So, yes, he is vain.
[00:02:00]  Am I vain?
[00:02:02]  Yes, I'm vain as fuck Does it matter?
[00:02:13]  No, because when time comes to deliver, I am ready to go, like, no matter what it is.
[00:02:20]  And I'm not basing my value in any way upon being vain at all.
[00:02:25]  That is just another thing completely.
[00:02:27]  What you're basing your tribe members in the masculine way is how they perform under pressure.
[00:02:35]  When push comes to shove, is this guy gonna pull his weight?
[00:02:38]  In Legolas' case, yes.
[00:02:40]  He's fucking wonderful with his bow.
[00:02:41]  He pulls his weight.
[00:02:42]  So then it doesn't fucking matter how he looks.
[00:02:45]  And this also reminds me of the really, really fucking retarded thing a lot of guys say, like, oh, you know, real men eat meat.
[00:02:52]  No, your masculinity is not based in any way on your fucking diet habits.
[00:02:56]  Not at all.
[00:02:57]  But either fucking way, I digress.
[00:02:59]  I just wanted to stand up a bit for my eleven brother Legolas and point to the fact that he is popular because he's a fucking killing machine.
[00:03:06]  And when push comes to shove, he fucking delivers.
[00:03:09]  He steps up his game and pulls his weight in the tribe.
[00:03:12]  And that is attractive.
[00:03:14]  He's not popular because he looks the way he does.
[00:03:18]  But then obviously it's rather cool.
[00:03:20]  And I'm not vain for any other reason that when I look in the mirror, I like to see a fucking demigod looking back at me.
[00:03:26]  And also, lastly, you have to be consistent.
[00:03:29]  If you think like, oh, as a man, you're not deemed on your looks, but on your behavior.
[00:03:34]  But then don't be consistent with that as well.
[00:03:37]  Then you can't say like, oh, you know, Legolas is less masculine because he looks less masculine.
[00:03:43]  That shit doesn't matter.
[00:03:44]  He can perform.
[00:03:45]  And that is what matters.
[00:03:47]  But to conclude, like, check out the podcast.
[00:03:50]  Really fucking solid podcast.
[00:03:51]  And I think all of you three do wonderful work.
[00:03:53]  So No hard feelings, but you cannot blaspheme against a brother like that without getting reprimanded by me.
[00:04:02]  And who am I?
