I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.
- My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:
  
  In my living room at the time:
  
  All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
  70% sure she just married me for the TV.
  
  "Honey, will you marry me?"
  um, I dunno...
  "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
  
  She, for sure, did mot married you for your cable management.
  
  That's an awesome TV.
  Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?
  
  The other 30% was the Dreamcast.
  Edit: Where can I get a TV exactly like that? I assume you had to hunt for years and/or restore?
  
  Yo PSOE1&2? I'd have married you too.
  
  There’s Rush fans, and there’s deep cut Rush Power windows Fans
  
  3 CD towers, but I'm counting only 2 CDs in them. Nice setup though
  
  Maybe it was her first time seeing moving pictures? 😏
  
  PSO? Fuck yeah.
  
  Dude but that's a pretty kickass TV.
  
  That TV is sweet.
  
  Working Man live in Rio... My lord
  
  Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.
  What can you tell us about that TV?
- My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).
  
  Too... hot...?
  
  If you ever change your mind, you can just move into my place. Nobody invited the centipedes, yet every spring those creepy bastards find their way in.
  
  Thats scolopenders right. Are there venomous centipedes?
- If people can't love you because they can't accept that Fluttershy is best pony then that's their loss.
  You still have us. Brohoof /)
  
  Best pony? But that’s not Rainbow Dash!
- I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.
  She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.
  
  Being anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven't seen since furries.
- Might as well collect what you love…as long as you don’t keep them in jars it should be fine.
  
  Don't kink shame!
- Every person I know including me is like “nah my place is way too messy, laundry everywhere, can’t meet there” so you just end up splitting a hotel for a bang

Run for your life before he brings the funkopops
- I don't know. That fight option looks like it could be fun too... TEST YOUR MIGHT!
  shitheads who idolize assholes are funny when they cry

This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.
The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎
Any future partner better match my energy LOL
- My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis
  
  They are the result of years of slowly obtaining them. They are pretty much the only thing(s) of value that I own! Really love them a lot. 💕
  If she doesn't have a Peepy of her own yet, it's your obligation to get her one! 🫵 And if she already has one, she needs more.
- I suddenly got a hankering for some peanuts...
  
  Feed him.

Lol that Thanos poster is lit
- You ain't lying, not sure I agree with the sentiment, but fucking great execution.

  Not sure why he's praying, you'd think a titan wouldn't have time for that sort of thing
- yea but without the stupid text

Joker poster beside other comic book posters: Stay, they're probably cool. Joker poster beside grindset posters: Refer to counselling and taxi home. Joker poster beside Joker 2019 Poster: RUN TO FUCK

a bit strange but I don't really see the problem tbh. Are these references I'm not getting? I recognize joker and thanos.
- The Thanos poster has been "alpha-male"-ified and the joker is a cringe incel reference. The fact you don't know is a good thing.
  
  How is joker an incel reference? O.o
  
  How is the joker an incel reference? Great movie
  
  Yeah, I'm not really into comics that are only funny to people who are terminally online.
  
  has been "alpha-male"-ified
  How so? The crown and gown?

What's the yellow figurine?
- Kaus:
  https://www.masterworksfineart.com/artists/kaws/sculpture/4-foot-companion-2007/id/W-7511
  (I don't know a lot of details, there's one in my city)
  
  It means something in this context?
- Looks like Yotsuba with a skull for a head. Perhaps some 4chan thing?

Me: "I hope you like Lisa Frank!"
- Me: immediately ruining the first impression with a full-size framed reproduction of the painting of Lord Vigo from Ghostbusters 2 looming over the foyer. Visitors are often distracted enough not to even notice that it hangs across from a pirate skull and crossbones flag and a queer villain pride flag.
  Then they get to the living room which seems weirdly normal; tastefully matched furniture, a couple of landscapes and a reproduction Matisse on the walls, reasonable quantities of clutter on the end and coffee tables. It's almost normal enough to make one forget that the Scourge of Carpathia is watching over their shoes.
  But then there's the sign by the bathroom asking guests not to use it for summoning demons. The Van Goku painting of Son Goku from Dragonball throwing a kamehameha in the style of Van Gogh's "Starry Night". A strangely ominous black and white photo of llamas hung by the basement door over a sign that reads "A little party never killed anybody".
  No, that first impression was correct. Mine is a house of weirdos. =D
  
  If I walked into your foyer I would immediately consider you a close friend. No one who loves Ghostbusters 2 that much can be a bad person.
  What is a queer villain pride flag?
  
  Have you considered running tours on Halloween? Throw in a few fog machines and black lights, make up some backstory about evil taking over your home or something, and you'll have the most creative "haunted house" around.
  
  But then there's the sign by the bathroom asking guests not to use it for summoning demons.
  Now I want one. That's delightful.
- My eyes, oh God my eyes!

We all know that guy doesn't have the talk game to get ladies through the door.

What's the orange skull doll?
- Kaws, one of those pop art figures that ended up getting merchandized to hell and back.
- Made me think of the "saw"movie, but I 'm unsure

I am old, please explain. :?(
- The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people
  
  It's just a bunch of memes. Let the guy decorate his apartment how he wants.
  
  I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I've been living under a rock. Is this about "incels" or this sigma thing?
  Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren't nice!
- This dude is "hiding his power level" till he gets women back to his place
  Then it's too late

flee, otherwise it is like punching the wind: useless

I kinda want the Thanos poster but without any of the text on it
- Text is at least different, this is the source: https://comicartprints.square.site/product/king-thanos/357?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=3
  Also here: https://www.instagram.com/joshbrolin/p/BgM6aYCB2Jq/
- Ok maybe just the 'sigma' part gone, I want like 90's rap culture Thanos
  
  Sometimes when you try and go too far into something being cringe it loops around and becomes hilarious and actually pretty cool.
  Although I agree that 'sigma' part should be left behind in the cringe zone
  
  I’d hang it up ironically
- Or on a t-shirt. Agreed, no text.

Run like the wind!

What’s the appropriate reaction to DPRK Comrade Applejack?
- Institutionalization
  
  Already tried it.

Joker poster
Fight option
She should don Catwoman costume, gently pummel the dude to submission, and say "How's this for a BOTTOM TEXT"?

If you don't love me at my nerdiest, you don't deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.
- There's nerd and then there's Thanos grindset nerd. I do not acknowledge the latter as being a true subset of the former.
  Edit: It was bothering me so I have to point out that I'm making a No True Scotsman Fallacy here. This does not change my statement.
  
  No. Grindset nerds are a cancer that must be excised for the health of the community.
  Like the kind of nerd that would let autocorrect replace excised with exercised.

Fler

My last girlfriend commented that my house reminded her of the antagonist in Red Dragon. She ended up moving in.

Fuck

Fornicate
- the promised third "f"
  
  In this case, its a hidden option after Fight.

I think as a guy you should never express interest in anything because it's going to be problematic tomorrow.
- That sounds exactly like what someone who once faced consequences for one particular thing would say.
- Fuck that. Fuck that entirely.
  
  It's true. A lot of my favorite movies are considered red flags just because enough dude bro dipshits misinterpret them.

Stuff like this makes women seem incredibly judgemental, while also demanding to not be judged.
- Can you point out where the 'demanding not to be judged' is in this comic?
  Also ngl, if you're an adult man who decorates like this and you don't think other men are judging you, I've got some news for you buddy.
  
  I wouldn't mind Biggie Thanos if it wasn't for the grind set trash
- I agree with you. Why are those the only options ? Everyone is allowed to have hobbies and decoration taste.
  
  And people are allowed to not want to fuck them.
