I'm a 27 year old man that has enjoyed every pokemon game since the first generation, and I'm very proud of it and so is my fiancée.

I'm upvoting for the comments. Young men need to know that if they hide their interests, they'll never find someone that shares similar ones

So, playing Pokeman means you aren't a man? Hell, in 2016 you can have a penis and it doesn't necessarily mean you're a man.

Now post a picture of any romance novel and say "Any woman who reads this crap needs to spend more time in the bedroom and kitchen."

The people who bitch about this are more annoying than the old men who say that stuff.

Apparently Pokemon needs to add classic cars from the 1960's to the catalog, eg: 67 Impala, power: girls in backseat get pregnant

If you fixed cars for a living you'd be pissed all the time too.

I got scoffed at by a man today while playing Pokémon Go, he was wearing a COD ghosts shirt... who's the real loser in this situation?

I'm a 36 year old hard ass trucker....and I play Pokémon go and I don't give a fuck what u think.

The only issue I have with people playing this game is that there's a gym in my work and I'm the head of security

And photography isn't permitted so I have a lot of annoying conversations with the building manager and have to say "it's cool" alot

At first it was fine - it wasn't the fact that they liked MLP that made people hate them. It was how cringe they acted about it.

need clarification. Are you talking about people's ideals about themselves or people's expected ideals for other men/women.
HeyDontBeADick
I think it was men and women in general. Not themselves.

Sorry, I'm still confused. So people ideally want men to be like adults (responsible, etc.) and women to be like children (innocent, etc)?

Check your local brew store

All you need is a big pot to heat it to dissolve the honey then a bucket or carboy with an airlock then something to put it in.

Notice the quotations, and "man card" is a scrubs reference that guys with lifted trucks and small penises took seriously.

Thinking riding a bigass bike and maknig mead and beef jerky makes you manly is the same as thinking playing pokemon go makes you unmanly

I don't think it makes a difference I've used it to illustrate the point you can enjoy "manly" things and Pokemon.

You don't get my point There's no such thing as manly or unmanly things. It's a matter of values and behavior
