[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1438232, member: 17845"] The cigarette smoking man from X files smoked clove cigarettes, as I recall. Essentially herb sticks. I watched I believe the first two seasons of High Castle and heard that it got really bad after that. I read that people were "enjoying" German occupied America too much, so they had to stop making an ordered, safe, high trust, stable, non-democratic, fascist, prosperous, stable, well dressed, moral, and fit society so appealing, and so introduced I guess gay and fat people and Go Girl superwoman characters. I didn't bother watching because I didn't want them to ruin the greatness of the first two seasons. I've seen this happen to many series, and even when it's not SJW garbage, sometimes they just can't keep up the momentum of a good series. The pilot episode to Raised By Wolves was some of the best science fiction I've ever seen. The rest of the season isn't really worth watching and at the end it's just bizarre flying snake Harry Potter shenanigans. The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian future story that is both interesting and humorous from a manosphere perspective, in that it is a feminist fantasy (written by Margaret Atwood) of what an out of control patriarchy would be like, and it's laughably absurd in places (there is a reproductive crisis, and instead of having some ordered system for childbearing the way Abraham's wife Sarah consented to Moses bearing a child with a younger fertile woman, married partners do a weird threesome rape ritual with a sex slave!). It's also similar to High Castle in that they portray what is supposed to be this evil, horrible dystopian world but it's hard for the viewer to put a finger on what's so bad about it other than it is "Nazi" or "patriarchy". But this series was also only good for a couple of seasons and then the sex slaves start to become superwomen. [/QUOTE]
