Welcome, one and all to Pathetic Men Madness!

I’m hopping on the “poll bracket” train probably about a month late. Anyway, this is Pathetic Men Madness, like March Madness, but actually fun! We’re starting out with a 32-person bracket, and I will be taking nominations through asks to properly seed the bracket and include pathetic men I may not personally be aware of.

First a timeline of our events:

From now until 6:00 PM CST on Saturday, March 18, I will be taking nominations in the form of asks submitted to this blog.

The bracket will be made and posted on Monday March 19, at 10:00 AM CST, along with the first round of 16 matchups. These polls will run for 3 days, and y’all can fight over which sad wet cat of a man deserves to win.

On Friday, March 23, at 10:00 AM, Round 2 will start.

Quarterfinals will start on Monday, March 27th, again at 10:00 AM

Semifinals will start at the same time on March 31st. Concurrently with this, the losses you complain the most about will be entered into a wildcard poll, with the winner of that advancing into the finals.

Finally, Tuesday April 4th will begin the three-way finals, with the two bracket winners and the wildcard pick. We will crown our winner on Friday, April 7th.

Please reblog so we can get a good variety of nominations!

Some nomination FAQs down below

Can I nominate real life people?

Sure, but I’ll only put them in if it’s funny.

I have a pathetic fave but they’re not technically a “man”. Can I still nominate them?

Darling, the gender binary is fake and horrible. Pathetic man is not a gender, it’s an archetype. Nominate your pathetic women and non-binary people as you please!

Your profile pic is the dude from Disco Elysium. Will you be biased in favor of him?

I will root for him but unlike the US government, I care about the will of the people. The poll results are public, so I can’t get away with it anyway.
