no the show is about how the family life of gangsters works

No, it just shows the sociopathic nature of criminals and how they keep rationalizing the terrible things they do to people.

That's toxic masculinity, though.

No it isn't. Stop spouting that retarded made up meme mutt term.

Yes, Chrissy and the rest of the crew call people with depression pussies. It's very obvious where the writers are coming.

They're coming on your mother's rancid pussy.

Nice /pol/ lingo, shitheel.

What /pol/ lingo? You're the zoomer pushing made up libtard terms you dumb american.

woman do that in the same way, its just a natural coping mechanism

>/pol/tard tries to backpedal after ranting about mutts like an unhinged lunatic
You are not one of the "normal people" speaking like "everyone" does. You are a radical freak pushed to the edges of society, where you belong, and your lexicon betrays it.

>muh /pol/
rent free
I also don't think you know what backpedaling means.

Toxic masculinity is being afraid of allowing yourself to behave a way you want to or enjoy things you like because it's "girly"
This is not that.

Toxic masculinity is part of his character, sure. But I think there is more to Tony than just a critique of a trait that most men in the show exhibit

It's very obvious that you have no engagement with social sciences aside from what you read on Yea Forums

Well, no. You should probably read up more on the topic, the page on wikipedia is a good start.

No, it was a show about family values. Mafia background was an excuse to manifest violence and sex in actuality, instead of keeping it in thoughts and desires.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Wikipedia is controlled by alt right neo Nazi Russians though

here's the best explanation of the sopranos men

Toxic masculinity i bad, despite it being a belittling, divisive and pointless term men can admit they’ve faced it. But toxic femininity is literally destroying western civilization and faggots and bitches won’t even admit it exists

Toxic masculinity Is faking traits normally associated with males, like assertiveness, aggression, toughness, self reliance, to appear more secure and tough and to hide your own issues and insecurity. Toxic masculinity Is closely related to machismo and hypermasculinity, and it's a coping mechanism for people who are in doubt about themselves and fear of being judged. It's very debilitating, and prevents the real you from coming out, causing distress and sometime even personality disorder. And most of all, prevents you from expressing your own opinions and feelings. You don't allow yourself to look weak, so you become increasingly frustrated, as you shut yourself in and think that nobody understands you. That's what happens to tony. Remember the times he constantly talks about Gary Cooper, the strong silent type?

says the tranny communist

You should be wary about reading Wikipedia for anything that isn't hard science. Especially shit that's political and/or current

>It's very obvious that you have no engagement with social sciences aside from what you read on Yea Forums
You mean pseudoscience?
A lot of what is taught in universities is pseud shit.

That sounds exactly like The Sopranos. Tony hides the fact that he goes to a psychiatrist cause that is perceived by people who are around him to be too girly and unmasculine.

"Toxic Masculinity" will cease to be a problem as soon as women as a sex start being attracted to weak vulnerable men.
I'm waiting.

It's a glorification of it. Tony Soprano is based, if you disagree you are a soiboi, simple as.

>You are a radical freak pushed to the edges of society, where you belong, and your lexicon betrays it.
>As he says this on Yea Forums
Kek.

Yeah because educating yourself through memes and twitter screenshots Is definitely more reliable, right? What do you think you are, a scholar? You're an arrogant prick who grossly overestimates himself.

no it's not you fucking retard lol.

>Tony hides the fact that he goes to a psychiatrist cause that is perceived by people who are around him to be too girly and unmasculine.
He literally hides it because he's afraid he would be killed if his crew found out. Watch the show again chudcel.

I'm sorry you picked the worst degree.

Women like men that make them feel safe. Toxic masculinity doesn't fix that. They'll end up with an unhinged person that Is deeply troubled and arguably a more threat to them than a weak noodle wristed beta.

>Yeah because educating yourself through memes and twitter screenshots Is definitely more reliable, right?
What does this have to do with anything I just said. It's like you replied to a completely different person.
What is wrong with you?

>What do you think you are, a scholar?
Most modern "educators" are parasites that only exist due to the state funding their cartels. They wouldn't exist in a free market, in their place would be educators that actually have critical thinking skills and serve a function in society.
Modern "educators" teach outright pseudoscience and use manipulation and propaganda to get others to believe their nonsense.

>You're an arrogant prick who grossly overestimates himself.
KEK the irony.

>chudcel
Please touch grass.

less a critic on toxic masculinity (which in itself is a pretty loaded and bigoted term) and more a criticism of macho culture (which is less decisive)

They're basically the same thing. They are just different terms. On Twitter people would say anything they don't agree with is toxic masculinity, just like racism. So it's obvious that the peabrains lurking here think it's just some meaningless buzzword

Imagine being someone who calls themselves a "Sopranos fan". Your day to day routine consists of repeatedly watching clips of the show over and over again while yelling quotes from the show at your monitor. You chuckle to yourself as you read the YouTube comments and see others repeating the same quotes you just yelled out.

After a 7 hour binge of clips you decide to go and eat "gabagool" because your entire pathetic existence revolves around The Sopranos and every moment of your life must be in some way shape or form, a reference to The Sopranos.

After eating 6 lbs of garbage deli meats you make your way to Yea Forums, where you and the the only other two Sopranos fans proceed to shit up the board with quotes from the show and samefagging each other until the thread hits bump limit. Repeat for three hours.

Once you finally reach your point of no return you put on "Talking Sopranos" and make sure to have a last minute snack of 2lbs of gabagool before you fade out into a food coma while the sounds of hack Sopranos actors wax nostalgia over their glory days.

What a pathetic life to live.

The words "toxic" and "racist" have been overused so much and out of context they've lost their true meaning.

It is a meaningless buzzword. Anyone who uses the term is immediately discredited.

And also because the mafia had a tendency to murder members who sought therapy.
Less about “seeming girly” and more about potentially revealing incriminating secrets.

>there can only be a single reason
retard
Tony literally talks about it. He asks where all the stoic "strong silent type" have gone while bawling in front of Dr. MILFi

Hypocritical, since they're way too eager to spill their beans to the next hooker they meet. I've met them before, and they say they almost earn more by patting the head of a crying man than having sex with him

Okay?

Eh. Better than being a wojakposter

ok pol zoomer

shut the fuck up you alright chud Nazi

>Sopranosposters once again prove they are secondaries who just binge Best-Ofs on youtube instead of watching the series
nothing new here.

>/pol/
lol cry harder bootlicking anti-intellectual cattle

No.

there's no such thing as toxic masculinity
its a globohomo term designed to shame men into acting like women

Toxic masculinity is used to say that masculinity in itself is a bad thing while macho culture is used to make fun of meatbags with big egos
two different things

Based

Who cares you should imitate him anyway cause he's based

no. no one even thought about that shit back then. he's a violent criminal.

How do you function day to day?
I don't believe you exist

bump

oh you've got things totally backwards

incels struggle to get relationships at all

Exactly, that's why it's so based to talk about female bullying (way more prominent) and to call it toxic femininity. Really boils Leftists' brains.
