    Evopsych has always been sus to me, not least because the most famous evopsych adjacent person in my country is also a big SeXuAl MaRkEtPlAcE guy.

      The evopsych professor back in 2011 in Cal State Long Beach back when I was in undergrad was an outright white supremacist who the school refused to remove despite multiple racial incidents

      My favorite psych professor who despite my low grades was super supportive about of me throughout undergrad, told me that all Evopsych is racist and garbage and to ignore it.

      evopsych is obvious horsehit from the word go because humans are the least instinctual animals around. If our behavior was defined so thoroughly through genetics, our languages would all act similarly most likely. They obviously don’t do that so more complex, though driven pursuits like gaining a surplus of wealth or wheat obviously can’t be operating this way. it also assumes evolution is trying to make ou perfect for you environment, rather than just being a system that does whatever the fuck doesn’t get you killed before reproducing. All these sex-based modifications of behavior only work if the women are primed to accept these kinds of displays, so there’s no reason westoids wouldn’t also do it because this implies all women naturally are. Ironically, this would suggest black men make more sexually desirable partners in this nutjob’s worldview, so he’s either got an inferiority complex he’s covering up by being the"übermensch" who acts like an ant, or he’s a cuck.
