>start kicking ass if you want her back
This is the greatest story told in retro games, without exception. Gives the player a sense of urgency and relatable motivation. No lengthy exposition needed, you know what must be done. And you feel like a badass doing it.

Stories about crystals, time traveling elves and wizards trying to summon meteors will never, ever come close.

Because soiboys are always effeminate (sometimes on purpose), and often self-identify as male intersectional feminists. They white-knight. They are on the left side of the political spectrum. Those things rarely apply to incels.

>> No.6155091 [DELETED] 

>>6155080
So it's just them being leftists? That's a rather weak distinction. Because incels are also effeminate, usually these guys are weak, submissive, lack any confidence or initiative and emotionally volatile/whiny. While they don't exactly white knight they also get extremely obsessive over women and let them rule their lives, and there's a reason self help PUA shit is so popular among them, they're basically trying to learn to be men.

>Beards are feminine

Sadly this is true now. Every gaping mouthed 25-30 year old has a shitty beard and black rimmed glasses. Beards used to be a sign of rugged masculinity but now have been adopted and twisted by these feminine males. I shave all the time just so I'm not mistaken for them.

Interesting. So are you saying concepts like "masculinity" and "femininity" only have meaning in context? Or, to put it in other words, that they're a "social construct?"

Beards are still macho. They're just not the auto macho button faggots thought they were. You still have to be a cool dude underneath it and their buddy holly glasses wearing, quaffed hair, ear looped ass is too much faggotry to balance with the macho beard.

Maybe they should try wearing hats, and suits, and smoking pipes. And drinking every night. And having higher body temperatures.
After reading this thread I'm not sure any of this would actually make them masculine, but at least it would make them retro.

They're not social constructs because only men (males, XY's) can grow beards. Females cannot. You can be EFFEMINATE and girly and still be a male. It is a genetic thing, hard science.

Is it a "social construct" that the female bird builds the nest while the male goes out and finds food? It's just basic evolutionary biology why things ended up the way they are because it's what works for the species. Humans coming along 3.5 billion years later trying to rationalize things and put square pegs into circular holes isn't going to change facts.

Yes arcade version or a modern port like Capcom Beat Em Up Collection, pick Haggar and strap in. Its a bit unrefined and takes some getting used to, mainly its very unforgiving with inputs and it has no buffers. Also make sure you know all the mechanics like how to make throws your combo finishers and back jumps, and also use the A+B special move liberally, it takes off a very tiny chunk of your health.
