Nice Guy section

edit

What on earth does the trite ideological sloganeering putting down "some males" as dubious "Nice Guys" have to do with kindness? Why is a minor contemporary left-wing misandryist agenda permitted on a page about the most basic and elemental of human motives? Is this where we are now in the culture, that dictionaries and encyclopedias are rewritten to suit the feelings and whims of feminists? --Threadbareparson (talk) 19:22, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

The "Nice Guys" section is indeed unrelated to kindness, so I have removed it from the article. Next time you can save the screed and just be bold. john factorial (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
I was bold, and my boldness was swatted down. You may find your change undone, too. For you have offended the Leftist censors. Threadbareparson (talk) 07:28, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
This talk section remains here for anyone who wishes to discuss & reach consensus regarding adding a "Nice Guys" section to this article. The discussion is welcome and all are encouraged to remain polite & civil and assume good faith. Cheers! john factorial (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

"In media" and "In literature" sections removed

edit

I am removing these sections dedicated to listing incidences of kindness found in media and literature. Such broad sections strike me as doomed to become immense lists and/or a tiresome never-ending edit war among editors who want or don't want to include particular instances of this incredibly common concept and its infinitely many examples to be found in media & literature. Consider: the "kindness in media" section at the time of this comment consists entirely of the following:

  • The movie Pay It Forward
  • A video by a New York City anti-bullying charity
  • A slogan used by Harry Styles.

If an editor chooses to restore these sections, please reply here with some suggestion for how to address the issues I've raised. Thanks much. john factorial (talk) 18:52, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
