How did you get the strength to carry 16 tons??? Where are you keeping that muscle???????

Ehehe, it's all a part of Grandpa Kurokage's shinobi training! :P

And, uh... I don't know where I'm "keeping" it! 'Cause the strongest people out there don't look all ripped and muscly!

I can prove it! Here's a picture from the "UK's Strongest Man and Woman" contest in 2023! (It's not mine.)

See? Everybody's all stout! And I bet you couldn't tell if they weren't in gym clothes!

...I think this picture'd look pretty different if they let shinobi join, though. 'Cause I ALWAYS win! :D

WHY EVERYONE SECRETLY LOVES TOXIC MASCULINITY

(EVEN IF THEY PRETEND THEY DON’T)

There’s a strange paradox in modern society.

People love to shit on masculinity.

They blame it for wars, crime, aggression, and societal collapse.

They call it “toxic” while enjoying every single benefit it provides.

They demand “soft, emotional, sensitive men”—but won’t date them.

And here’s the dirty little secret:

Society DEPENDS on “toxic masculinity” to function.

The same people screaming about "fragile male egos" are the first ones to call a strong, competent, aggressive man when shit goes down.

And when the floodwaters rise? When the criminals break in? When their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere?

They don’t call a male feminist with a rainbow flag and pronouns in his bio.

They call a "toxic man"—someone society spent years trying to neuter.

And that? That’s the hypocrisy I’m about to gut-punch straight into oblivion.

Let’s get into it.

WHAT THEY CALL “TOXIC MASCULINITY” IS ACTUALLY WHY CIVILIZATION EXISTS

🔹 The skyscrapers you work in? Built by men with calloused hands, broken backs, and zero complaints.

🔹 The bridges you drive over? Engineered, constructed, and maintained by the “patriarchy.”

🔹 The emergency responders saving lives? 99% male.

🔹 The soldiers who protect your borders? 97% male.

🔹 The garbage men keeping disease from spreading? Almost all men.

Masculinity isn't toxic. It’s what keeps modern society from collapsing overnight.

But we don’t talk about that.

Instead, we tell men:

❌ “Be softer.”

❌ “Be more emotional.”

❌ “Be more feminine.”

And then we mock men for actually doing it.

Look at what happened when men listened:

Men stopped being aggressive. Now, women complain that modern men are “weak.”

Men stopped taking risks. Now, women complain there are “no real men left.”

Men stopped leading. Now, women are depressed because they “can’t find masculine men.”

The irony? The men who actually embody “toxic masculinity” are still winning.

Women want them.

Men respect them.

Society needs them.

The ones who “toned it down” got left behind.

And that brings me to the next lie modern society pushes:

WOMEN DON’T WANT THE “SOFT MAN” THEY SAY THEY WANT

Every time I hear a woman say, “I want a man who’s in touch with his emotions!” I already know she’s full of shit.

How do I know?

Because the data proves it.

📌 Tinder and dating app studies: Women swipe right on less than 5% of men—and they’re always the most aggressive, dominant, high-status ones.

📌 Marriage studies: Women file for divorce 80% of the time—often complaining their husbands are “too passive.”

📌 Relationship studies: Women lose attraction to men who cry too much.

And yet, the narrative is “Men need to be softer.”

No. They don’t.

They need to be capable.

Because the second a man shows too much vulnerability, what happens?

Women call it “the ick.”

They pull away.

They lose interest.

They look for another man—one who doesn’t break.

That’s not sexism. That’s biology.

And I don’t blame them.

A masculine man makes a woman feel safe.

An overly emotional, fragile man makes a woman feel like SHE has to be the man.

And guess what? That kills attraction.

The most feminist, pro-woman, “down with the patriarchy” women still dream about being ravaged by a Viking warrior, a mafia boss, a cowboy, or a billionaire with full control over every situation.

They don’t write books called “Fifty Shades of Crying.”

They want dominance, confidence, and strength—everything they claim is “toxic.”

So why the hell should men listen to the opposite of what actually works?

They shouldn’t.

THE WORLD ONLY SHAMES MASCULINITY UNTIL THEY NEED IT

The same people calling masculinity “toxic” have no problem demanding it when convenient.

When a woman is in danger, she wants a strong man to protect her.

When a fire breaks out, people want brave men to run inside.

When war starts, everyone wants a tough man willing to fight.

When a country needs rebuilding, people call masculine men to do the heavy lifting.

Society shames the men who built the world.

But when shit hits the fan?

Nobody calls a soft man.

They call the exact type of man they’ve been demonizing.

And they always will.

So what’s the takeaway here?

STOP APOLOGIZING FOR BEING A MAN

If you’re a man, you have two choices:

1️⃣ Try to fit the soft, weak, emotional mold society pushes—and get left behind.

2️⃣ Lean into your natural masculinity—be strong, be capable, be dominant—and watch life reward you.

The truth is, everyone secretly respects men who embody strength, power, and control.

Even the people who say otherwise.

So fuck the narrative.

Be aggressive when needed.

Be dominant in your space.

Be the kind of man who handles business—no apologies, no softness, no weakness.

Because when the world needs saving, it won’t be “soft men” who step up.

It’ll be the same “toxic” men they tried to cancel.

And I say, embrace that.

Strongmen

Recently I've been OBSESSED with big muscular men, in two different ways.

1- Strongman whumper, who can so easily overpower whumpee that it's not even worth even trying to fight back, since all that does is piss whumper off. Whumpee is painfully aware of the damage whumper could do with even just their bare hands if they wanted to. Whumper is incredibly intimidating, both in height and in strength.

2- Strongman whumpee, who for some reason or another is unable to or unwilling to (due to whumper's control and threats of harm towards whumpee's loved ones) fight back. Whumper is significantly smaller/weaker than whumpee, and yet they still hold all the power. Whumpee knows that even if they were to fight back, to kill whumper the fallout would be catastrophic, not just for those that whumpee cares about, but for so many other innocent people that would be caught in the crossfire. Whumpee won't risk other people's lives just for their own freedom, besides, whumpee is beginning to believe whumper when they say that whumpee doesn't deserve freedom, that they aren't loved.

We gotta introduce these strongmen and bodybuilders and stuff to bisexuality. They'll just go and post the most homoerotic video of them by themselves or with other men and then not act on it.

A: Back in the day, they used to do tug of war between two absurdly strong four hundred pound men. And it just lasted forever, and it was incredibly boring, because they were absurdly strong, relatively equally. They would need one of those guys to get B’s nose out of C’s ass right now.

The Political Landscape…Donald The Would-be Dictator!

Introduction In recent years, the political landscape in the United States has been tumultuous, to say the least. One individual who has captured the attention of the world is Donald Trump.

My knowledge of the strongman playbook allowed me to forecast that Donald Trump would seek to implement an authoritarian model of governance in America and try to stay in office after his defeat in the November election. I’ve also written about abuses of power that occur in all political contexts, like sexual harassment.
