Andrew Tate on BG3’s Lack of Masculinity
The Top G has set his sights on BG3, criticizing the game for its notable lack of traditional masculinity. In his characteristic blunt style, Tate argues that BG3 has fallen victim to modern trends, sacrificing core elements of what makes heroes in media truly compelling.

He pointed out the absence of characters who embody classical virtues like bravery, honor, and resilience. He believes that the game's shift towards a more 'woke' narrative is part of the Matrix programming.

I am not his fan, if that's what you mean? Quite the opposite. I just can't believe he's serious, it's so absurd.

You and me both. Partly because people legit believe and repeat the most ridiculous things nowadays, and party because a lot of those ridiculous thing are initially invented by trolls on 4 chan.

Go on a cringe retreat; if you are so hard up for some gentille-only men company, and need to defend it here. Oh wait, you don't have to; you have played BG3.
Bro, you have 150 hours in BG3. By your logic...

If you can't squat two plates below parallel you can't criticize Tate. That's just the fact boys and xe's.

Young man, you need to pick better role models. Check out stoicism - workout, eat healthy, don’t be overly emotional, think before you speak.

Take care of yourself and stop worrying about the world’s problems. You’ll be happier.

It certainly should and deservedly so but even after a re-write, which is worse in my opinion, most people don't put him in that light.

Wyll? The master of double standards? The guy who tells you to never deal with devils even though he did exactly that and isn´t even ashamed about it?

Guy makes the sacrifice of a contract with the devil purely to have the power to protect the innocent. You can call it shallow trope, but there isn't really double standards going on here.
(also naive, since he really thought he would be killing devils only and believed a cambion )

The problem with politicized worldviews is that old analogy, if you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. You bring it into the experience.

We saw this with Rise of Skywalker from one political camp, and from Joker in another. Neither film was political, but the people who bring politics into everything can only see politics.

The obvious thing the OP is missing is that it's an RPG, not a novel. The most important character in the RPG is the one you make. So if it's lacking a masculine main character that's YOUR CHOICE.

Hog Legacy is another recent prime example. Ppl just wanted to cancel it cause of JK Rowling.
(though HL is actually a weak RPG )

This seems like the proper thread to share recipes. These are delicious.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies


1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
24 caramels, unwrapped (from 14-oz bag)
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1.Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls; roll in pecans, pressing into dough. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

2 Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Using handle of wooden spoon, make indentation in center of each cookie. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, in microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and half-and-half uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until caramels are melted. Spoon about 1 teaspoon caramel into indentation of each cookie. Cool 15 minutes.

4 Drizzle with melted chocolate; sprinkle with salt. Let stand about 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
