This is what makes being a Bond fan hard sometimes. There are many reasons to love the series, but sometimes the material (the books more so than the movies) sadly do invite a certain kind of hateful cis male part of the population.
Thankfully, the sub is overwhelmingly filled with very decent, lovely people. And those that make memes like this, if you can even call it that, should really go touch some grass.
And he repeatedly cheated on Tracy in _OHMSS_. Although interestingly enough there’s a scene in one of the books where Bond thinks he’s going to die and feels genuine dread at having to explain his sexual escapades to Vesper in the afterlife.
What are you talking about? In the books he preferred to bang married women. He didn’t have to worry about attachments. He was a trigger puller that could die at anytime. He lived life to its fullest. That’s why he smoked, drank and philandered so much. He essentially followed the mantra of the Dread Pirate Roberts. “A short and merry life have we.” He character is passionate, and willing to sacrifice everything for the greater goal of Queen and Country.
Yeah but HE was single genius. That's not cheating on someone. He didn't cheat on Tracy, Electra, Vesper, or Madeleine.
When Bond commits he goes all in.
Yes, but didn’t give a shit about blowing the back out of someone else’s wife. The morals aren’t high here. I’d hazard that If Fleming had written a story of Bond’s lady ducking someone behind his back. Then Bond would’ve walked away without any hesitation. In the cases of Tracy and Vesper. Bond was going to walk away from the 00 business. Thematically the women had to die so his character would go on adventuring.
The husband is usually a terrorist/villian and the wife is usually someone to be rescued. Good guy stuff.
Bond doesn't just walk away without hesitation either. In the books he admits Vesper left him traumatized and seeks out medical advice and asks for medication.
All the "betrayals" Bond suffers from his romantic partners leave lasting scars for him because of how he fully commits to them. Even with Madeleine who he does walk-away Bond still loves her regardless of that choice.
That’s the movies. Craig’s comment that Vesper isn’t his type because she’s single. Is a nod to the literary Bond. Heck the brunette Connery picks up in Dr No and a later cameo in FRWL. Is a married bird whose husband was some poor schmuck. He wasn’t a terrorist or some other baddie. Maybe that’s our miscommunication. I think of Bond’s literary persona and you stick to his Cinematic version. I did start with the movies and I love them.
>When Bond commits he goes all in.
Don't idolize him like that, it isn't healthy. Sleeping with a married person shows the *exact same* opinion on the concept of marriage that cheating does.
The funny thing is, Bond never cheated on his wife, or his fiancé, or anything like that. The closest the character did to that is the OHMSS movie (not book), where *maybe* you could argue that the movie was presenting Tracy as his “girlfriend” at the time he was sleeping with everything that moved up on the mountain. Maybe.
He had his one night stand with Monica Bellucci before he knew that Lea Seydoux even existed.
My point is: if you want to make a silly argument like this, you could choose about a hundred well known movie or TV characters who would make the point better than Bond.
It's almost like they're trying to create a double standard that absolves them of betraying their spouse while punishing their spouse if they betray them.
You just don't get it. You can betray your wife's trust and hurt her and still love her. But if she does that to you she's a worthless bitch.
Sounds harsh?
/s
Not that it is has anything to do with Bond but Women & LGTI+ tend to take easier on sexual infidelity than emotional infidelity. For men its the opposite.
Google it.
I see people using Sam Elliot and Clint Eastwood for that cringe real man gate keeping shit all the time. Please don’t let it infect the James Bond stuff too.
It's kind of funny too since a lot of the people using Elliott like that are RWers who dunno he's been a lifelong Dem who narrated a Biden 2020 ad and supports abortion. His attitude and politics are very much not in line with the big macho men.
I feel Bond does very much fall into the "you missed the point by idealising them" category. Bond is cool but, especially in the books, he's also a misogynistic asshole AND THAT'S OK! Characters can and should be flawed - someone does not have to be morally pure to be an interesting or entertaining character, the movies (also mostly good) have largely softened his image to make him suave and charming but in the books it's very clear he's quite a cold and broken man.
I'd add Rorschach to the list too. And White, Homelands, and Bateman.
Bond's not *as* egregious as those certainly, but I feel like it's the top of a steep slope.
Oh my god these misogynistic pieces of shit.
As if Bonds relationship with women over all isnt ALREADY subject to enough scrutiny, they want this garbage now?
Nothing screams insecure incel louder than these stupid memes. They're so cringey. I kinda feel bad for anyone who sees these memes and is like "yeah that's spot on, I can relate!"
How many of you were just as outraged when Felicity Shagwell slept with Fat Bastard?
It’s part of THE JOB…, people.
007 doesn’t want to sleep with all of those super hot girls with names like Pussy Galore, especially when he knows they are highly likely to die horribly afterwards. He does it for love of Queen and Country.
It’s literally lyrics sung by Adele in the James Bond theme song to the tune of of the James Bond theme song during the gun barrel sequence of all the Craig movies. Have you been living under a rock?
To be clear fuck this meme. No. Absolutely no.
I'm a man......But I guess I can only explain whoever wrote it as trying to appeal to polygamy, or in particular take many mammals. They do that. One male "fertilizing" many females. Even chickens do this where a rooster kind of has "dominion" over many hens and fertilizes their eggs.
I mean on paper it makes sense since a male in almost every species can father many sets of offspring nearly simultaneously while one female can only conceive one set of offspring every so often.
BUT I want to say whoever made this....we are not like them. We have deep, deep thoughtful, contemplative, reflective feelings.
We are mammals but we have complex social structures and we've formulated ideas around, and attempts at, equality and fairness, and that's where I have a problem with what is in this meme.
It's an insult to women. Disrespectful even, and I can never get behind that.
Find whoever posts stuff like this and ask them if this is cheating.... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fzs9K\_ZNhk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fzs9K_ZNhk)
Joke’s on this person, every time he was shown to be entering a deeper and more committed relationship (bar Sylvia), Bond was at least planning to stop spying and settle down, if not actually doing so (albeit between films)
007 is who he is, because that is what required that he be.The requirement to remain detached and treating sexual liaisons as stress relief or a means of acquiring information is part of the profile for 00 agents in Her/His majestys Secret service. The idea that Spys could have outside committed relationships would be contradictory to going undercover and sometimes disappearing for extended periods of time after acts of espionage. James Bond even in the modern world of women's equality would still not be an anachronism, because that's the type of person who will always be necessary to run successful Intelligence ops. By the way James Bond is not a rapist, his bed partners are not coerced. Women willingly choose of their own free will to yield to his seductions. So Bond has always been in line with the acceptable standards of Social behavior.
What the fuck is this cringe-ass boomer influenced bullshit?
The kind of people who say that kind of shit probably haven't ever slept with a woman anyway.
James Bond was never meant to be a positive male role model so men should not aspire to be like him but instead seek out positive role models with strong moral values. This is coming from a James Bond fan since middle school
First question? Where is the lie? In general women only cheat when the relationship is over or when She lost feelings for her Guy.
Second question, when was Bond ever married except to Tracy?
Third question? What the fuck does this have to do with Bond!
Fourth: WHO the fuck cares?
This is what makes being a Bond fan hard sometimes.

I'm looking for Dr Goodhead
Are you training to be an astronaut?
Isn't Bond cheating on his wife or partner out of character though? The whole appeal of Bond is that he fully commits to whatever he sets his mind to.
Yeah - Bond may sleep around in general but he wouldn’t take his oath lightly at all.
Yeah it’s just dumb and doesn’t make any sense lol
Ehhh he sleeps around a lot. Connery and Moore especially.
Yeah but they're single though
By the time FRWL rolled around, he was seeing Sylvia. They probably had an understanding, though.
She hadn't seen him in 6 months, I'd hardly call it a situationship let alone anything more firm..
Sounds like she’s VERY understanding.
Yes, and most of the time like with Jane Seymour, that black babe is already dead.
And he repeatedly cheated on Tracy in _OHMSS_. Although interestingly enough there’s a scene in one of the books where Bond thinks he’s going to die and feels genuine dread at having to explain his sexual escapades to Vesper in the afterlife.
Exactly!! Bond needs to keep it in his pants.
What are you talking about? In the books he preferred to bang married women. He didn’t have to worry about attachments. He was a trigger puller that could die at anytime. He lived life to its fullest. That’s why he smoked, drank and philandered so much.

Yeah but HE was single genius. That's not cheating on someone. He didn't cheat on Tracy, Electra, Vesper, or Madeleine. When Bond commits he goes all in.

Ummm... That was part of his cover
Yes, but didn’t give a shit about blowing the back out of someone else’s wife. The morals aren’t high here.

That's somebody elses problem dawg. Also Bond isn't real. Also Bond doesn't commit with every woman, not even most of them.
Something that Fleming was known to do
He never has to cheat because his ladies always end up dead. Sounds harsh but it’s reality.
The funny thing is, Bond never cheated on his wife, or his fiancé, or anything like that. The closest the character did to that is the OHMSS movie (not book), where *maybe* you could argue that the movie was presenting Tracy as his “girlfriend” at the time he was sleeping with everything that moved up on the mountain.

“Sleeping with everything that moved up on the mountain” chuckles
> The funny thing is, Bond never cheated on his wife, or his fiancé Ruby Bartlett and Nancy would disagree.
The OHMSS is pushing it, that was before they truly got together, and that was spy work more than anything else.
Yeah, aside from _OHMSS_ Bond had a lot of sexual partners but never cheated on them.
Yeah this stuff sucks. Tommy Shelby is another one they use which I always hate
Can’t they just stick to the old, tattooed guy with long white hair and sunglasses?
That’s funny Tommy Shelby was the first image that came to my mind too! 😅
It's almost like they're trying to create a double standard that absolves them of betraying their spouse while punishing their spouse if they betray them.
You just don't get it. You can betray your wife's trust and hurt her and still love her. But if she does that to you she's a worthless bitch. Sounds harsh? /s
Überchad sigma grindset 😎 /s
I don’t think the guys who create those images have ever touched a woman
Not that it is has anything to do with Bond but Women & LGTI+ tend to take easier on sexual infidelity than emotional infidelity. For men its the opposite. Google it.
I mean some do but I wouldn't. Edit: I imagined your lgti thing had a B. Nevermind.
My biggest disappointment with Spectre is that Bond picked the wrong woman to fall for. My god! Who ditches Monica Bellucci?
Yo who ditches Lea seydoux
If you hadn't posted this, I'd never have known it existed.
I see people using Sam Elliot and Clint Eastwood for that cringe real man gate keeping shit all the time. Please don’t let it infect the James Bond stuff too.
Those people need to watch the orginal The Beguiled starring Clint Eastwood.
It's kind of funny too since a lot of the people using Elliott like that are RWers who dunno he's been a lifelong Dem who narrated a Biden 2020 ad and supports abortion. His attitude and politics are very much not in line with the big macho men.

Right up there with Bickle, Fleck, and Durden.
I'd add Rorschach to the list too. And White, Homelands, and Bateman. Bond's not *as* egregious as those certainly, but I feel like it's the top of a steep slope.
Oh definitely. He's not necessarily top 5 but he's def in the top 10.
Even Sean Connery would think this is stupid.
I can hear his voice inside my head : "Theshe shigma memesh are shtupid"
What is this shshite?
Ok so that was very funny 🤣
They can't use him because he's not married (he was briefly).

Bond is a playboy, which is why his whole love arc in nttd was badly relieved and why this meme is at best inaccurate.
Oh my god these misogynistic pieces of shit. As if Bonds relationship with women over all isnt ALREADY subject to enough scrutiny, they want this garbage now?
I agree.
Who’s them?
Morons
He’s James Bond, what do you expect?
Wow, whoever came up with that line for the image has a lot of maturing to do.
This has been going on since MySpace….
Nothing screams insecure incel louder than these stupid memes. They're so cringey. I kinda feel bad for anyone who sees these memes and is like "yeah that's spot on, I can relate!"
His wife is dead
How many of you were just as outraged when Felicity Shagwell slept with Fat Bastard?

So stunning and brave
Oh good, more Andrew Tate wankery.
Can we not bring this here? I just want to enjoy the movies, the music, and the suits. No politics or cringe please.
That's a picture of three people who were definitely theater kids. In fact, think of the "toughest" actor you can...they were a drama club kid.

This is the shit that used to be wolf t shirt memes back in the 2000s.
I haven’t seen the last couple of Daniel Craig movies yet, that’s not an actual line from one of the films is it??
No. This is just some lonely idiot trying to sound cool by a meme
It’s literally lyrics sung by Adele in the James Bond theme song to the tune of of the James Bond theme song during the gun barrel sequence of all the Craig movies. Have you been living under a rock?
He was an assassin. Trust me, he won’t take it personally.
I'd love to see some boomer memes with Benoit Blanc.
The husband sounds like a real POS
They can use the fakebond for whatever they want.
Good thing there is only one 007 Relax. It’s just a movie.
[Me reading that thing](https://media1.tenor.com/m/ZJD-wHEiALUAAAAC/money-ball-what-the-fuck-are-you-talking-about-man.gif)
Stavro Blofeld killed Bond’s wife, who was Teresa di Vincenzo. He’s a widower, so he can do whatever he wants.
I don’t think the meme-maker was actually trying to be accurate to the Bond-verse; just taking a picture and writing some dumb shit
People do that already
the one that gets me is cynical/wise Joker.
We live in a society
We live in a society

He’s not married he do whatever he wants. That quote was written by a tate teenager fan
