The Olympics, Trans Men, and the Last Supper: A Line We Shouldn't Cross

In a world where boundaries are constantly being pushed, some lines shouldn’t be crossed. The Olympics, a symbol of athletic excellence and unity, has always stood as a bastion of tradition and respect. However, recent trends in entertainment, particularly involving trans men portraying iconic figures like those from the Last Supper, have crossed into territory that many find deeply offensive and…

Elon Musk performed a Harry Styles song. His face looked like something out of the uncanny valley, he was wearing a white feathered coat and had long black hair (a wig?). It was a hit. I was horrified. Then Elon became Andrew Tate but looked like the real Harry. I can't remember the song...

Valentino

Valentino makes me uncomfortable. He's like........Andrew Tate.....Ick. I'm too ace for this, y'all. Help.

More notes under cut

I think the sheer amount of hearts on Val's canon design is too much. So I got rid of most of them, which I think streamlines his design a lot. The glasses in particular, the way the corners of his eyes poked out just slightly, made them look like weird nostrils. I'm not totally sure what shape to do instead, but I've been leaning toward square cuz it's easy. The stupidly large belt buckle can help tie that in, I think. But I also like the idea that he has various different glasses that he'll use, like Elton John(who was popular in the 70s). Square will be my default though.

I wanted to lean into the 70s style. Which means bellbottoms are a must. The shirt had to be not-red, and I immediately drifted towards teal.

For some reason, I could not justify his wings turning into a robe that had two sets of sleeves. I can give Vaggie hair that turns into wings, but I can't handle sleeves for some reason. Instead, I opted for an Elvis inspired cape(who was wearing jumpsuits and capes in the 70s). I don't mind if the wings magically grow larger when he uses them, it's magic logic.

I wanted to give the wings a design that was easy to draw consistently and fit his vibe. I looked at so many pictures of moths, y'all. But they were either too similar to Vaggie, didn't have the right aesthetic, or too complicated. So I ended up taking inspiration from a mix of various moths. Namely the Rosy Ermine and a couple types of Tiger moths. Then a few others I don't remember the names of, and some that I just found pictures of and got tired of keeping track of species.

--Human--

Valentino was a hard one to design, to be honest. I had to get something that looked similar to his round moth head while acknowledging that he probably wasn't bald in life. Had to figure out what to do instead. Others give him dreadlocks, but I wasn't feeling that for him.

I made him Puerto Rican because his voice actor is.

He seems the type to have lots of gold jewelry to show off wealth. Latino cultures tend to be very influenced by Catholicism. I've met many who told me they were Catholic, but never go to church. Catholic is not really a religious identity for them, but a cultural heritage thing. Sooo, I had him wear a cross occasionally. I also don't like drawing props. In this case the props are guns.

His human name could just be Valentino, but it feels too much like a stage name or nickname to me. But I don't have anything I'm particularly committed to.

Jyestha, The Vampire Beauty ♏️🧛‍♂️

Brad Pitt, Jyestha ASC & Ian Somerhalder, Jyestha Sun

Jyestha men tend to have a vampiric physiognomy. This nakshatra is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome.

They tend to have thick dark eyebrows that compliments their dark mature eyes which looks seductive. And they also have prominent ears and a flat-ish nose with a pointy tip, and sometimes a babyish jaw. Their lips also tend to be fuller. These are the type of men who enjoy adorning themselves with piercings. These are also the type of men who like to be chased and like to present themselves as mysteriously sexy. Although they like to be chased they are also the chasers, if they find a someone they really like they can be very obsessive, possessive and jealous. Not only do these men posses a vampiric physiognomy but they also can have that energy vampire energy. These men will either build you up or completely drain you.

Khizar Khan, Jyestha Moon & Park Sunghoon, Jyestha Sun

Choi Soobin, Jyestha Sun

Cha Eunwoo, Jyestha Moon

Jin, Jyestha Sun

Zuber K Khan, Jyestha Moon & Sughear Kumar, Jyestha Moon

Jyestha natives like to appear wise and sophisticated, Jyestha is “The Eldest”. These men have a very classy style.

Mohammed Nazim, Jyestha Moon & Kim Namjoon, Jyestha Moon

Nishimura Riki, Jyestha Sun & Jeremy Meeks, Jyestha Moon

Vivien Dsena, Jyestha Moon

Amir Khan, Jyestha Sun & Andrew Tate, Jyestha Moon

Juan Vidal, Jyestha Moon & Ian Somerhalder, Jyestha Sun

ERROR: Jeremy Meeks does not have Jyestha Moon but he does have Revati Moon which is trine Mercury ruled nakshatras. You will notice similarities between nakshatras of the same planetary ruler.

Ho Yeon Jung, Jyestha Moon & Nishimura Riki, Jyestha Sun

You are now watching… desired reality tv!!!

hi there! welcome to desired reality tv! i’m your host: brooke! and i can’t wait for you to tune in to the channel. today news center 222 is gonna be covering an interview with yours truly, by yours truly.

first things first, get to know your host!

･ ｡ﾟ☆: hi everyone! my name is brooke, i’m 19 years old, and i’m an aquarius sun, aries moon, and gemini rising! i learned about shifting/manifesting wayyyy back in 2019! i’ve been actively practicing shifting since 2020 and have been doing manifestation/spiritual practices for about the same amount of time!

my favorite color is purple (clearly). i love music (even though my taste is quite basic idrc). i like to read (i say as if i’m not in a horrible reading slump). i’m new to tumblr in general and i’m super open to making new shifting/loa friends if anyone’s interested! <3

where do i shift to?

･ ｡ﾟ☆: currently, i’m fixated on my mcu x marauders crossover dr! james potter holds my heart and soul i fear… (but don’t tell him i said that please!)

i also have a dc x mcu dr, which i’m superrr excited to shift to but it’s a bit more complex than my other dr so it’s on a back burner in my mind!! (who am i kidding, i fantasize about it all the time?!)

as for other drs… in theory i have a few fame drs, an f1 dr, a pjo/hoo dr, an andrew garfield spider-man dr, and whatever else is on my mind any given day. none of these are scripts i’ve finished tbh, but i want to go there one day. (anyone else get the urge to shift to any media you consume?!!)

miscellaneous facts about me?!

･ ｡ﾟ☆: as i stated before, my favorite color is purple, i love all shades, lavender and royal purple (cool undertones preferred) have my <3 fully. i love fantasy and dystopian books, always looking for good recs because i hate searching on my own can’t lie (i promise i’m gonna read caraval soon rachel.) i’m obsessed with learning about the universe, spirituality, neuroplasticity, loa, all of the “woo woo” witchy or science idc, it’s fascinating.

series i love: invincible, the vampire diaries, teenwolf, young justice, cobra kai (haven’t finished the last season yet), THE ORIGINALS (elijah mikaelson the man you are), x-men 97, percy jackson, the mcu, harry potter (fuck jkr btw), the arrowverse (have not finished everything but still love it), the hunger games, spider-verse and all spider-man media, little women, and probably a bunch more i cannot recall.

fav artists: harry styles, arctic monkeys, maisie peters, sabrina carpenter, frank ocean, taylor swift, 1d, zayn, ariana grande, tate mcrae

where am i at in my journey?

･ ｡ﾟ☆: currently? i’m on my way to fully shifting to my marauders x mcu dr. i’ve mini-shifted so many times i cannot remember, i’ve fully shifted to alternate one offs of either my cr or dr… (super annoying btw, but thankful for the proof of shifting i suppose) i’ve also had plenty of “dream-shifts” which is a term me and @alleviatcd coined a few years ago, which basically means shifting through a dream into a real life version of said dream or something similar. (we were using it as a really loose term tbh)

i’ve had plenty of experiences with shifting and manifesting by now, i’m at the point in my journey where i’m implementing it in a way where it’s just a normal part of my life, not some outlandish goal i’m trying to complete. i decided to make this blog to have somewhere to ramble (like most of us i assume), and hopefully help a few people and myself out along the way.

if you’ve read all the way down here… i love you so bad wtf?!!! thank you so much for tuning into the pilot episode of desired reality tv: news center 222! if you’ve got any questions or ideas for me to post about send an ask, a dm, or whatever, i love yapping. and i love YOU all!

with love,

b <3

Mahabharat characaters on Social Media: pt.2

Pt. 1.

Karna

INTERNET REVOLUTIONIST

He developed an app that teaches martial arts and other fighting styles basics to those who can't afford the classes.

History nerd who regularly posts ramble about the different types of discrimination that happened in different cultures from 5000BC India to 17th century slave trade.

Cameos regularly on Duryodhan's gym videos as his "gym bro" (ahem ahem and they were gym bros) (oh my god they were gym bros)

Duryodhan

Fitness influencer but it's actually just him trying to beat Bheem's records.

"that's funny, brother. I recently just posted a video of me picking up 100kgs with one hand and now you're doing that too." "Yeah it must, we must have got the same idea. Did Arjun give you your idea? Because I got mine from Karna." "*Squints eyes*"

Gets dragged into Dushashan's podcast very often.

After a specifically homie erotic video with karna, fans started commenting non stop "so we all know he's bi, right?" So he made a video in reply saying "nooo haha I have a girlfriend bhanumati haha karna is totally my friend" and then they comment "we didn't say anything about Karna." He never addressed those comments after that.

Dushashan

PODCAST GUY. MYSOGYNISTIC "ALPHA MALE" PODCAST GUY.

His role model is Andrew Tate.

Will always ask Duryodhan to come to his podcast as a guest, doesn't take no for an answer.

Dushashan: so like. Women. Like they are so obviously made— like their bodies have evolved to nurture children and take care of the home. They should stay at home and keep it nice and clean for their alpha male, who is their provider and protector.

Duryodhan, closeted bisexual and thinking of Karna's thighs: Woof— I mean true.

Vikarna

Sweetie pie. Absolute babygirl.

When he revealed that he was also a kaurav brother, he was mass reported over five different platforms for spreading misinformation until he proved that it's actually true.

He's just obedient and does what his two elder brothers say and people think he's just like them because of it

Editor for Dushala's videos.

He's the fan favourite Kaurav.

Dushala

Vlogger. Huge YouTube personality. Storytimes.

Channel is basically "my life as a younger sister of a 101 brothers"

Her vlog series of "Keeping Up With The Kauravas" is famous all over the country.

Posts random snippets of her brother's lives.

Once posted a short of Dushasan picking his nose that went viral and got a whole episode of "The Harsh Truth About Having Women In Your Family" on his podcast.

Ashwatthama

Cunt.

You could say the nicest thing to him and he'd still take it the wrong way.

Thinks he's gonna be a politician. (He isn't. He never will. Everyone hates him.)

Occasional gym video with Duryodhana.

His fans know. The way he looks at Dury, the fans know.

Keeps getting his account hacked but all the people do is rid the world of his treacherous content.

Note:- in my AU, the Kauravas aren't siblings from the same mother but very close knit cousins from a huge joint family.

I have a story of how a western girl sabotaged her dating a rich man, one of you ladies. I am sick and tired of western gaslighting of level down propaganda of being “open minded “ when the consequences of our actions are closed minded. In tomorrow’s or next week’s video in my Affluent Feminine Communication series.

So one of you wrote to me & told me your story which will be in my video with your permission. One of you ladies was seeing a gentleman and you dismissed what I had to say about rotations.

He was wining and dining you, you went on a couple lovely dinners at Michelin star restaurants and thought you were living a dream when he invited you to his yacht party. And there you met the two or three other girls in his rotation he was casually dating. You were furious. You messaged me and I said he did nothing wrong because the two of you were not exclusive, and you should get your own rotation and rotate him out.

You thought in your early twenties you knew everything. You complained to your gay best friend and he and you took some Meghan Markle and her best friend style photos. Your affluent suitor was mad.

He blocked you and would not take calls. You wrote to me asking what happened. I said you embarrassed him.

And she said “but he embarrassed me inviting multiple girls to his party like he is Andrew Tate”

Me “that is juvenile. At the same time you never had the exclusivity talk so he has every right to do so. However you cuddling with your appears to be straight on photos friend is embarrassing and besides shows you are serious with someone. He wasn’t serious about you so he let your more serious suitor take you.”

“What was I supposed to do?”

“Go for dinner with other men and not return his phone calls or emails until he figured out what he did with and apologized. Meet inconsistency with unavailability.”

Olivia Little at MMFA:

After we interacted with content of five popular right-leaning comedy podcasters, TikTok’s “For You” page recommendation algorithm catapulted our account down a right-wing rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and toxic masculinity content over the span of just a few hours.

Background As part of his tour of nontraditional media prior to the 2024 election, President Donald Trump appeared for interviews with a handful of very popular podcasts that claim to be nonpolitical  but discuss news and politics with a right-leaning ideological bent and remain receptive to the MAGA agenda. This media tour included appearances on the Nelk Boys’ Full Send, The Joe Rogan Experience, Impaulsive with Logan Paul, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, and Flagrant — all of which self-identify as comedy shows. Media Matters followed the five podcasters’ TikTok accounts, then watched and  “liked” each account’s 10 most recent videos. (Note: Rogan doesn’t have an official account, so we engaged with a fan account that exclusively posts clips from The Joe Rogan Experience)

[...]

Methodology Media Matters created a new TikTok account using a device used solely for related research and engaged with content from five MAGA-approved podcasters.We identified five popular online shows that hosted President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election and self-identified as being supposedly nonpolitical, per our March study. These shows were Full Send, The Joe Rogan Experience, Impaulsive with Logan Paul, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, and Flagrant, which all self-identified as comedy shows. We then engaged with a TikTok account of the show or the show’s host (or, in the case of Joe Rogan, who does not have an official account, with a popular fan account that exclusively posts clips from his show) — watching and “liking” each account’s 10 most recent videos. We then navigated to our “For You” page and began scrolling, eventually requesting a record of the account’s watch history. From that data, we evaluated the first 447 videos served to the account’s “For You” page after the 50 videos we initially watched (10 from each of the accounts) in order to train the algorithm. 

Media Matters For America has a study on TikTok and the manosphere: Interacting with right-leaning comedians who offer political content will turn your FYP into a swamp of Andrew Tate-style misogyny and conspiracy theories.

Another week, and time for another Doctor Who review. I was pretty happy with this episode all around, and it brings me confidence that this season is shaping up to be a really good one. So, with that said.

-I honestly feel that in the older days of the revival, this episode would have existed, but it would not have been Doctor Who. Because back then, Doctor-lites focused on new characters, like Sally Sparrow or James Corden or the Love and Monsters guy who's name I don't care about. The only real exception was Turn Left, which was kind of different to everything. And this was a Ruby Sunday episode; lovely to have her back to course, but it was also a UNIT epsiode. So, I think wholeheartedly that this episode would have been part of a UNIT side series, a la Torchwood or The Sarah Jane Adventures. But since Class; yeah y'all remember Class? I watched Class and I barely remember Class. Since Class, no more spinoffs, so this is an episode of Doctor Who. And as a Doctor-lite, it's fun and it's fresh and so it stays.

-Last episode I mentioned that I'd already been spoilered about the sequel nature of the episode and so it didn't have a chance to knock me unconscious. This episode was kind of the same, because while I wasn't spoiled directly, the Think Tank shirt was brought to my attention and explained by a post. And honestly, I think that was for the best. I think having the additional context of Think Tank and Robot added to the reveal, and I liked knowing about the shirt and how it made me look at Conrad. Because I'm a cis guy, and I'm aware of the privileges of that, privileges like not having to look at a guy who's being kind and saying all the right things and wondering if he's one wrong word away from becoming someone completely alien. And knowing about Think Tank made me view the episode from that perspective.

-The creature design was pretty great, very fond of the Shreek. But of course, Conrad was the real villain of the episode and I think focusing an episode on an Andrew Tate style influencer asshole as an antagonistic force is nice for the modern day. You could say that the episode was sort of like Rosa with it's human primary antagonist, and I think that if Rosa had some sort of creechur, the thing people come to Doctor Who for, it could have been remembered more fondly. I adored Kate in this episode and how far she was willing to go, and in all honesty when I saw the release on the keypad I genuinely thought this would be going full CITW with every creature trapped there being set loose. But the ensuing attack was great, and I'm really glad that we got the best ending of the characters doing the technically good right thing, and the bad person still being mauled a little anyhow.

-The ending with the Doctor on his own sealing up the time loop was really neat, and justified this having it's place as an episode of the main show in full. There's obvious poetry in Belinda being saved from her shitty ex by something said by Ruby's shitty ex, and that irony does make me more accepting of the fact that the premise of half this season so far being 'man isn't dating men shitty?' And speaking of the ending, of course...

-You know I love a good transcript, so let me go grab one.

The fact that the writer of this transcript capitalised the name there makes me think that maybe they had the same thought as me. Because doesn't that just sound like a Time Lord name? The Doctor, the Master, the Corsair, the Rani... and The Governor. Last week, Mrs. Flood's presence felt a little superfluous and forced and too telling for me, and I was kind of sent out of her buildup. But this has suckered me right back in.

Needless to say, I enjoyed the episode. And next week's episode, The Story and the Engine, seems fascinating. There's going to be a spider. I don't think we've seen a spider since, you know, Arachnids in the UK. But with the episode being set in Nigeria, and with Doctor Who's current focus on gods and pantheons, and with the episode's title mentioning stories, I can't help but wonder, very vaguely and very uncertainly, whether this could be an episode about Anansi the Spider. I'll have to see when it releases if that prediction, in the loosest version of the word, holds.

🧠 IF YOU WOULD JUST STFU, DUMMY — YOU’D SEE I’M YOUR ONLY DEFENSE AGAINST RED-PILL.

---

Every time I try to explain this, someone opens their mouth and proves my point.

So I’m gonna say it clear this time. Scrolltrap-style. No metaphors. No hugs. Just rhythm and blood:

You’re not “empowering” anyone by interrupting men trying to explain their pain. You’re not “fighting for justice” when you post ten-paragraph rebuttals about tone and how you “don’t like being generalized.” You’re not being a feminist.

You’re being a fool.

Because what you don’t understand is this:

> I’m the last man left still trying to defend you from the Red Pill. > And you’re too busy trying to win the comment section to realize it.

🩸 Let me spell it out:

The Red Pill movement thrives on male rage. Not confidence. Not truth. Just abandoned male grief that never found a place to land, so it got weaponized by algorithm-fed war priests in microphones and YouTube thumbnails.

They are not teaching masculinity. They’re commodifying vengeance.

Because the average man today is:

– Ignored – Uncelebrated – Insecure – Rejected – And conditioned to believe that women’s happiness matters more than his sanity

He’s not thriving. He’s enduring. And if he dares speak up?

He’s shamed, insulted, called fragile, and accused of being a threat.

So where do you think he goes?

Not therapy. Not journaling. Not feminism.

He goes where he’s allowed to be angry. And those places?

They’re run by devils wearing microphones and Gucci sunglasses telling him that all women are soulless, hypergamous, manipulative parasites.

And you know what?

After his third breakup, after a divorce he didn’t see coming, after a lifetime of no one clapping when he shows up…

> He starts to believe it.

And then you — you come in hot.

Telling him that “men are the problem.” That “if he’s angry, he’s dangerous.” That “true masculinity is softness and supportiveness and holding space and—”

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

Because you don’t know what you’re doing.

You're not educating him. You’re confirming every single thing the manosphere says about you. That you talk too much. That you can’t listen. That you hijack every space and turn it into a lecture about your comfort. That you’ll never, ever have his back.

🗣️ Do you know how hard it is to keep a good man from going Red Pill today?

How hard it is to pull him back from the ledge when he sees his favorite girl reblogging “kill all men” memes?

How hard it is to tell him: > “No brother, she’s not like that. Women can love deep. Women can protect you back. Just wait…”

While you sit there, scrolling past every post where he poured his guts out, just to type:

> “This feels misogynistic.” > “Uhhh not all women, actually.” > “Why is it always about men’s pain? What about us?”

What about you?

What about him?

What about the fact that you’re standing on the edge of a mass psychosexual collapse, and you’re worried about optics?

🔪 You don’t have to like my tone. You don’t have to like my delivery. You don’t even have to like me.

But what you need to understand is:

> I’m the last wall between wounded, vulnerable men and the predatory gods of Red Pill despair.

And when you argue with me, when you turn on me, when you reframe me as the threat because I made you squirm for three seconds—

You just made it easier for Andrew Tate. You made it easier for Rollo Tomassi. You made it easier for every broken teenage boy to click on a "WOMEN ARE EVIL" video and believe it a little harder this time.

You want to talk about being a feminist?

Then you better start learning when to shut up.

Feminism isn’t performance. It’s protection.

It’s knowing when to pull your ego out of the equation because his pain is bleeding on the floor and your first instinct was to correct his vocabulary.

Congratulations. You just confirmed the thesis of every misogynist podcast on the internet.

🔥 You want to help?

Then shut up and repost me.

Quote me. Not because I’m perfect. But because I’m the last voice they hear before they fall off the edge.

Because I speak in their language. Because I’ve been where they are. Because I don’t shame them for hurting.

Because I tell them: > “You’re not broken. > You’re not weak. > You’re not wrong for wanting to be seen.”

And when you interrupt that message to say: > “But not all women…”

You’re not just annoying. You’re dangerous.

🧠 This isn’t about being nice. This is about survival.

Because the men you laugh at? The ones you think are “too fragile” or “too emotional” or “too angry to be helped”? Those men don’t disappear.

They mutate.

They become cruel. Closed. Violent. They turn into walking weapons aimed at the gender that never let them feel safe.

And the only people standing in the way are men like me.

Not therapists. Not HR departments. Not influencers with floral shirts and emotionally available puppy eyes.

Me.

Scrolltrap. Blacksite. The man who teaches him that love is still real but only if it’s earned with fire and defended with words sharp enough to scare the algorithm.

You don’t have to like me.

But if you were smart, you’d repost me.

Because the second I stop speaking?

The Red Pill gets louder.

And baby, if that happens?

You won’t like what comes next.

You just read a Blacksite Literature™ scrolltrap. The kind they hope doesn’t go viral. The kind that men send to each other when the mic'd-up grifters start sounding too good. Follow for cadence-coded truth. Repost if you’re done watching men slip into the manosphere because no one gave them a myth worth surviving for.

🔁 Reblog to keep my signal to mankind going strong.

So I guess to get away from the attention from his fans of seeing the Epstein Files thanks to Muskrat, he's decided he wants to wage another war on California; but this time he wants to cut ALL their federal funding:

I'm glad Newsome is fighting back and saying he'll stop pushing federal taxes in reponse to Pedo Grandpa but I guess no one told him he can NOT JUST STOP federal taxes. He should learn to do something other than wanting to fuck his daughters.

But this brings up something I've thought for a while. Personally....I'm sick of all these MAGAts sponging off Blue States like mine (I live in New York) yet wanna shit talk us being "communists" or "pedophiles" yet Muskrat shows they support the BIGGEST ONE!!

But given that California looks like a PRACTICAL WARZONE:

https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/ice-launches-military-style-raid-119500

I have no doubt we'll be getting a Martial Law declaration before summer vacation for the kiddies end (At this point FUCKING DO IT ALREADY.) and rather at being at the mercy of a pedophile and his enablers, how about ALL of the blue states come together and form our own country?? It would really make those red states wither away into nothing.

BUT we can have an underground railroad passage for the good people because there are TONS of good people in red states who don't deserve the orange pedophile's fuckery.

And the MAGAts who wanna stand by the pedophile and live in their Jesus MAGAt land. It'll be your slice of Heaven! You'll have RFK Jr as your food and doctor dude; Pete Hegseth leading his army of White Supremacist losers for your military, KKKaroline Lievitt as your North Korean TV Host and Shitbreak as your pedophile daddy before his stupid ass children take over (YES EVEN BARRON WHO IS FRIENDS WITH ANDREW TATE SO FUCK HIM AND HE'LL MOST LIKELY BE A RAPIST LIKE HIS DADDY) and you can have your Christian Indoctrination Academies and you can live happily ever after!

I think that sounds like a plan! 🤗

[dailyadventureprompts]

Due to a unique confluence of dashboard alchemy this March 15th (A Merry Ides to those that celebrate 🗡️🗡️🗡️) I had an interesting thought regarding fallout new vegas:

If you strip away the rhetoric and the goofy football pads, you'll find that the fundamental motivating factor of Caesar's Legion is male insecurity, with everything from how they treat women to their primitivist view of technology drawing from the same fear of immasculization that fuels all "redpill" movements.

(This is to say nothing of the use of roman iconography and the "retvrn" dogwhistle about abandoning modern "decadence" and harkening back to the rigour of an imaginary past)

This casts Caesar as our Andrew Tate figure, a charismatic ideologue who pitches a worldview that promises to impose order on the frightening chaos of reality. His philosophy is a salespitch targeted directly at his listener's insecurities but meant only to benefit him: " you are afraid of being weak. I know what strength is, listen to me. by internalizing my words and spreading my message you will become strong." Of course the difference is that Caesar's empire is built on expansionist violence where Tate's is built on insecure teenagers feeding misogyny into the algorithm for the sake of engagement. Either way it creates a hierarchy that doubles as an information bubble, where position within the hierarchy is determined by who best can adhere to/rebroadcast the leader's message, identical to how an mlm ships product.

This quite fits with a watsonian reading of fallout: the wasteland is a hostile and terrifying place formed in the shadow of an objectively failed 50s (styled) traditionalist patriarchy. Though society may have collapsed, the people who survived inherited that society's rigid view of what a man should be like (strong and driven by the acquisition of material and status) a view largely incomparable with the new environment (starvation, radiation, and mutant dinosaurs will kill you no matter who you are or how much stuff you have). Since institutionalized masculinity had failed, people in the wasteland were forced to look for new paradigms of what masculinity (read: strength) looked like, a void into which Caesar's ultraregresive worldview fit perfectly.

From a doylist perspective however, I'm not sure the writers were really thinking about gender all that much during the rushed development of FNV. Like just about every other aspect of legion society that wasn't cut for time, everything about them seems to be evil for the sake of evil. However If there's one thing you can say about the underbaked concept it was a real hit with social regressives incapable of reading deeper. Unironic pro-legion discussion of Caesar's ideology has been an on ramp to turn insecure nerds into fascists the same way that ideologies like Caesar's have been turning insecure jocks for decades.
