I see your curiosity immediately led you to "places" no sun is shining. Fair enough.

Contemplating whether any explanation might cheapen the quality of the name "mensvitamins" or if just this one will.

The concept originated in this thread first: viewtopic.php?f=315&t=14667&hilit=Vitamin

At that time, I was visiting my parents over holiday and became a little annoyed at my mother's incessant advocacy of "suburban" health. “Suburban" here denotes something you might see on a daytime talk show -- like Good Morning America, The View, Dr. Oz, etc. Suburban health might also be influenced by sharing anecdotes with other neighborhood Moms. In my family multi vitamins have long occupied the same echelon of importance as Emergen-C and zinc and cherry juice and quinoa and other immune system boosting super foods and supplements!

And so I was visiting home, probably irritated, probably hungover, having been given a giant bottle of Men's Vitamins and right next to where they sat on the counter there was a giant bottle of Women's Vitamins and I made the thread on ESOC. It was good and cathartic and I thought that was it.

Two years later, circumstances have landed me back home, with the same big bottle and brand of Men's Vitamins given to me, sitting right next to the same brand of Women's Vitamins on the same counter. I had just deleted my twitch account because I forgot the reason why, and the Proximity Principle suggested this Absurd Entity as significant to me at that time.

The interesting thing about independent Entities, which we are not exposed to each day so as to become acclimated, but which we manifest ourselves unto inbetween large periods of absence, is that we can examine our relationships with them and reflect upon our personal changings as a dependent variable.

And so when I looked at the big bottle of men’s vitamins again I wasn't annoyed for a reason I couldn't put into words, and I was not hungover. The Spectacle of the Bottle of Men’s Vitamins just made sense in the sense that of course it was a Spectacle. Spectacles are absurd and this is all that can be said of It and Them.

Accepting absurdity is preferable to existing in it in conflict.

In many ways my first encounter with Men's Vitamins was the product of a confused dissonance -- and my revisitation became an Instance of reconciliation between an ideology and reality, history and emergence. It was to me in every sense of the word, a Situation.

Ever since I've been Baader-Meinhof’ing applications of vitamins and appreciating vitamins for their intersectional qualities. Vitamins appear kind of everywhere and that's great and good for a twitch brand. They appear in grifters in all circles, they appear on TV, they appear in actual medical journals as deficiency treatments, they appear in op eds of big papers and in op eds of small papers and in industries that benefit by trying to credit them and in industries that benefit by trying to discredit them. A vitamin regimen was prescribed to Trump when Trump contracted COVID and then I watched them say that live at a press release. There are hour long YouTube videos of gurus inspecting every single supplement product in Costco, waxing healthily about their ingredients. I've watched every minute.

This is many words to say “mensvitamins” sounds funny and good but it's also a little something more than funny and good which is to say it’s mostly just a funny and good thing to say.

reading Brandon Sanderson's newest novel in which a character has multiple personalities, I began to think of my multiple smurfs and their playstyles, which I've deconstructed into male attire for some reason

SirCallen - boring but classic, timeless, JCrew's Essential Line Up. Nothing to be embarrassed by, but nothing to write home about.

DJ2Strong - this is the '89 YMCA 3v3 basketball tournament t-shirt you buy at goodwill for $0.99. You seem to win every Saturday pick-up game wearing it, so you stop wearing it because you're afraid of ruining the good luck. The next week everyone is wearing their own goodwill t-shirt. Awkward.

FPSdanksy - fps... danksy...? gamer name, graphic T. This is what's worn around the house chilling with your bros, not really giving a care just playing some vidya (famous 2v2 account).
spoiler
mensvitamins - bold, aesthetic, intellectual, inaccessible, entry level high male fashion. Not everyone gets it, but if you know you know.

TexasBBQ
- everyday work clothes, oil stained overalls, ragged shirts, attire for the hard manual work of creating content.

LeeSoonShin1592 - Yi Sun-shin is the admiral of Korea and all Koreans respect him. I also respect him so i used this name

Miyawaki Sakura - Miyawaki Sakura is singer of Japan. I'm military service in 2018-2020. In my company she was goddess. In the extreme cold(hot) and pain I thought of her and survived. when i participating tournament i will using this name

April - April is a Korean girl group. i'd like them. And my favorite SC1,2 pro palyer using 'July'

Honestly i envy people who already had the self-reflection at a young age to not choose a shitty nickname. Feels like most people go through a "adding random numbers and symbols" phase or a "killer, king, general, lord, master" phase before realising that's pretty cringe and settling for something a little more... normal.

But eventually it becomes cool again. I was considering Deathkiller or something similar just recently.

Woodpusher: A chess term describing a player who doesn't understand the game. A woodpusher has no strategy; he's just pushing wood pieces across the board. Going through the motions without knowing the purpose. A BOB, if you will.

This used to describe me pretty well. I've somewhat grown out of it, but I like the name and keep it as a reminder.
