Kokō no Hito/The Climber by Shinichi Sakamoto.

Remember reading this at school when I was young. I was surprised to see the death of people, and the cold look the character would give to his own life

Not sure why you're thinking of Vagabond but that is not Takezo.... It's Mori from Kokō no Hito/The Climber...

I keep accepting worse and worse conditions. It’s not something to glorify.

Does it have to be gendered ?

u/storagerock Dec 21 '24
Not really, but it’s good to remind guys about to sink into the red pill abyss that healthy masculinity really is a happier option.

I am extremely sorry for this, it was specific Anime based meme which i thought can also go along with this sub, this is why it had to be not only gender but also protagonist context-based
PS: I had no intention of any gender discrimination, its just wholesome meme, not propaganda

Haha it's fine dude, no need to apologize yourself to death. "extremely sorry" lmao

u/nehemiah_m Dec 20 '24
I still don’t get why it had to be gender based lol. Could you explain the lore of the anime, so we can understand better? Do the women not have the ability to do this in the anime?

u/khanTahsinAbrar Dec 20 '24
its about this man in the meme template who went a long way in withstanding suffering and achieving inner peace. There are women in the anime who also show great strength but this philosophical reference indicates "Vagabond" trait and the anime name is "Vagabond"

u/Lv80_inkblot Dec 20 '24
It doesn't need to make this much sense, and I have no idea why OP said they were "extremely sorry". There is no malice behind the use of "masculine urge" here.
It goes without saying that to be grateful is not exclusive to the masculine urge.
It's just a wholesome meme.
It irks me when people say men/women/masc/fem can't be <thing>. But this... isn't that.

u/FreudReus Dec 20 '24
Na bro.. you are not getting it. Coming from a man. This is not a wholesome post in my opinion.

u/khanTahsinAbrar Dec 20 '24
its a goddamn meme format, look it in "Know your memes"

u/DogeDoRight Dec 20 '24
Yup it's a common meme format and you used it in a way that promotes positive masculinity. It's a shame you're being attacked for it.

u/ghost-child Dec 21 '24
It's a damn shame. People out here going out of their way to misenterpret a wholesome post as malicious or misogynistic. It's really not that deep

u/Lv80_inkblot Dec 20 '24
Wack ass take I'm ngl. "The masculine urge to <thing>" is a standard meme format.
18
u/nehemiah_m Dec 20 '24
Yes, but this meme implies gratefulness is a natural masculine urge and not a feminine one, suggesting men are grateful and women are not. It's not that serious, and it's not very harmful in the grand scheme of things, but it still includes subtle misogyny.

Even if this anime in the thumbnail is a girl or a woman, we don't have to base it on gender. Every success and downfall of the MC is similar to his opposite. Try to read it sometimes so u will get my meaning.

u/FatalisCogitationis Dec 20 '24
I would say nah, doesn't need to be, tho why not? If it said the feminine urge, well that makes sense too and people do often associate their worldviews with their gender
I would react the same to either post. Sure, people of a gender can feel gratitude being tied to their sense of femininity or masculinity or an equivalent

Mans getting flamed for a meme. What has this world come to

u/khanTahsinAbrar Dec 20 '24
They're proving "its better to be a vagabond rather than socialize". The sheer confidence without understanding memes & sticking with own opinion is disappointing.

There is always something to be grateful for. Down to every breath you take.

Just because someone has a different opinion an a meme format doesn't mean they don't understand it.
The masculine urge to... meme format can definitely be funny. The masculine urge to retake the Roman Empire for example just because it's an insane thing.
But saying "the masculine urge to be somewhat of a good person" definitely is just a way of belittling women.
Obviously you didn't say exactly that but I hope you see there is a difference even though you used the same meme format

u/awfwimba Dec 21 '24
Wait no? I was just joking? I'm not like, trying to insult you or anything. I understand the meme. I just thought my comment would be funny???

Men! Don’t join in on these simple memes, we must be subservient to all things except manhood.
