Because it IS an insult. :dead:

Lame originally had to do with being injured or something not working properly. If someone is call you as a person a lame, they're saying your personality is not up to par.

It suggests a breh is a weakling to be pushed around since he's deemed a solitary figure because he exercises free thought which is frowned upon, because it makes those stuck in a rut uncomfortable about their own situation.
It's like being the only smart kid in class..everyone's mad at you because you have a greater potential to be rich and leave that world and them behind.

Self hatred. The majority of the time the person calling you lame or square is just as much if not moreseo lame or square :russ:. But they hate that about themselves and live this fantasy of being this street dude because that has become the end all be all despite it being destructive and a dead end. So rather than sort all that out they just attack other lames. Same reason so many dudes hate Drake (pre Ken making it cool that is). He soft. He a simp. He aint get girls in high school. This applies to waaaaay more guys than the super tough street shyt that gets espoused by nikkas that wouldnt pour milk on cereal (shout out to Kendrick Perkins :russ:) But again its easier to just attack him than work your own shyt out.

So having a sharp hairline and doing dirt, makes you authentic?

And to an even more petty degree, that person has the potential to be happy without being a piece of shyt.

Being happy, and kind to others makes degenerates angry and vindictive.

If we being honest, being a square/lame is less taboo within most other communities (whites and especially Asian).

:yeshrug:

Black men especially are expected to be hyper masculine and “cool” within society.
Because having some "game" is like an alternative tool of survival in our community.Having the gift of gab, being a salesman, and knowing how to dress like a million bucks when you're broke>>>>>>>

According to our general value system.Even the women idolize it.Deep down, they'd rather be attached to a brotha with game.A man about his wits offers a higher chance of survival in a environment like that.Some cats just radiate it.Getting puzzy by accident.5, 6, 7 baby mama's.It's not backed by gold or silver.More like the Federal Reserve Note.You can print it out of thin air.Those who don't truly understand value will flock to it.Even kill for it.it is what it is.It's just game.

Which explains the broken family units and lack of wealth building. Swag cannot make a tangible legacy.

But that's the catch.I think a lot of women would rather ride the rollercoaster with a shiny serpent.The community's in direct opposition to family/wealth building.Even tho some cry out for that kind of man in theory, if a man like that was ever able to manifest himself, they'd nail him to a cross, or burn him at the stake.They really don't want nobody to come disturb the party.The only ones complaining are the "lames", but they're not even invited to the party.Lames are on the outside looking through the window at the ladies having one mass freak off with "Pookie & Ray Ray".They only think about letting the lames in when they need somebody to clean up the mess:pachaha:

Touche. But the issue is what is considered par. Par isnt charismatic knowledgeable, solid morals and character...fun and comfortable to be around. Par is destruction. We literally champion anti-social behavior. Any lame can grab a gun, throw up some gang signs, and harm his community and no longer be considered lame...despite having the same exact personality deficiencies. Thats the problem.

Basically, we let the Superficial people control the narrative since the Crack Era. Maybe they need to be sterilized on some "Children of Men" shyt so that they cannot reproduce anymore.

That's ripe for Native American extinction right there.

The secret is to act how you feel. When you feel a way be authentic. Don’t hide behind being good. Don’t be too thirsty but if you wanna pipe mack that girl. Then back off and do you own thing. Watch what happens.
Game is all about not being authentic and hiding how you feel. Thats why its called game. Plenty of folks hide behind being bad and tough. Plenty of thirsty tough nikkas out there. Being authentic and doing your own thing is key but its also something people struggle with in general.

People like to pick and choose when lame or square is bad depending on the context.

-Lame and square is okay when people want to use it to shyt on certain types of Black men
-Lame and square is bad when people start talking about dating/relationships. All of a sudden you need to be edgy and swagged out.

Were supposed to be like this from to a defense mechanism due to slavery and other trauma as black women have faced. Because they’ve faced so much they have turned the female need to be safe with a man into an over correction so now they just don’t tolerate regular masculine men. Now they need hyper masculine men.

Understanding the why helps you adapt to the circumstances.
Non thuggish black men had no issues with women right after slavery and on through most of last century. There was a time when chicks were scared of the thugs. There was a time, not super long ago, when thug was an insult. Square life used to be the standard. It was only after street shyt was glorified and normalized that this fake tough shyt became a thing.
