Don’t Complain

**Don’t Complain** is a common battle tactic often appearing in the Rage Knights RedGod universe and other stories created and written by Khaliq Trevor X. It’s variation, Don’t Complain to Women, is a variation directed towards women rather than the general population.

## Usage

The user avoids having negative feelings (usually feelings of deflated self-worth, depression) or making negative comments around others. This is done to protect their vulnerable feelings and not openly express what’s bothering them to an otherwise potentially insensitive person who may use the user’s problems against them in any future interactions. It’s common in patriarchal environments that place heavy emphasis on bottling up emotions.

### Variations

* Don’t Be A Little B\*\*\*\* is a gag based battle tactic developed by Nomad Bradley in countless Rage Knights RedGod gag stories. Whenever mortally wounded in battle against a superior adversary or antagonist, Bradley shakes off the pain despite being close to death. And visibly injured (I.e. bleeding from the eyes, tattered Marksmen EXO armor etc.) A running gag and nod to Bradley’s healing factor and super human strength, as he can easily withstand severe attacks launched onto him.

* Don’t Complain to Women is a common variation directed towards characters who identify as *female*. Due to patriarchy and men being perceived as strong and masculine, it’s generally considered “weak” to complain or open up about feelings to anyone. In a dating context, this tactic is usually performed in an attempt to not be depressing, or negative around potential significant others. Characters such as Makia Brenderson is a primary female character who dislikes those who speak about their feelings, often using their problems about life against them and speaking highly on the fact she can easily ignore her problems.

## In Stories

In some stories such as the non-canon gag story, *Jordan and Makia: Murder Ugly Men Suffering Depression,* Jordan Ickermann and Makia Brenderson boast about their supposed confidence and always keeping their problems to themselves, eventually bringing up hating those who couldn’t deal with negative comments. So much to the point where they become recurring stalkers to Damon Bradley and Cherri Smith who are trying to live their everyday average lives. Jordan and Make join forces with everyone from Bradley’s past including a time-traveling Dating Site Expert and Professor Butch. When Daniel Goldberg fights the Dating Site Expert, he creates a depression spell that causes Makia and Jordan to experience deflated self-esteem, anger, anxiety, less attractiveness, feeling hated by everyone etc. Jordan and Makia gradually learn they cannot deal with being picked on, lonely and becoming physically unattractive. Midlore and even the Sagittarius Operator Picks on them for becoming conventionally unattractive and in a position to not judge others for being depressed from superficial prejudice societies.
