Movies and music.

Podcast man enters the battle

I am so confused.
Like there is probably a whole debate that was spawned before it and with culture those phrases have some meaning behind them, but for the love of me I don't know what it is.

Contrary to what many people in the comments believe, this isn’t saying that men who like music or movies are bad. Everyone likes those things. It’s about a type of male music/movie fan who gets pretentious and gatekeepy about their interest, often talking down to women about said interest. The music man would tell you that your favorite band in a genre isn’t REALLY said genre and is just entry level trash, and the movie man would love ”masculine” movies like the Joker or Fight Club but idolize the main characters instead of seeing them as the villains they’re supposed to be.
21
Music man would also ask you to name 5 song, 2 albums, and the lead singers wife (I say wife because music man would never listen to a band with a female or gay lead )
11
That just sounds like typical gatekeeping or someone beeing dumb. What has any of this to do with them beeing men?

You have to be wary of music man, sells the town a whole marching band and none of it shows up. It’s trouble I tell ya

what about the piano man?
2
i like music, and by "like" i mean "vibe with"

So if you're a man, you can only be a good person if you don't like movies or music?
I'm just kinda confused by this post lol

by "man who likes movie" they're talking about the sort who're obsessed with things like joker or zack synder's justice league, not men who likes movies
its like the distinction between "people who play videos games" and Gamers

I legitimately hate this kind of stuff, if the watchers / players of a specific film/game have a reputation for being toxic please just address the separately and don't rope the rest of us in with them (not an attack on you OP, just something about the ambiguous language used on the internet I hate)
13
the joker fucking sucked tho
3
It had the same problems as every Guy Goes Insane movie
1
nah, Falling Down was really good.

You’re doing the same as when old white conservative men tell us “Oh so and so didn’t actually mean what they said, they meant something else” when addressing a misogynist. No, the OP said men who like music and movies, not men who are obsessed. This is sexist

Are men not allowed to like things?

Apparently. I hate this post.

Does Valerie by Amy Winehouse pass the bechdel test?

I remember someone saying “Baby God Back” passed the Bechdel test, but does it?
“Oh my God Becky, look at her butt It is so big, she looks like
One of those rap guys' girlfriends
But, ya know, who understands those rap guys?
They only talk to her, because She looks like a total prostitute, okay?
I mean, her butt, it's just so big
Uh, I can't believe it's just so round, it's like out there
I mean, uh, gross”
They mention “rap guys” but not one in particular so does it count?

Fuck this post

But I like both... I didn’t know that people could like movies but not like music and vice versa.

You are either music man or movie man, there is no in between

If so, then the music is worse. Nothings worse

You mean Racist man?
You're thinking of epic gamer man.
