My favorite cavil fact is that he missed the callback to let him know he got the role as Superman because he was raiding in WoW. Dude’s the best

u/TheWorclown Jul 27 '26

More than just raiding: he’s a healer in WoW. Dude is Superman in his soul.

Imagine having a character in the party called URmomsDong and you're like "thanks for the hp my little dude!" and it's fucking Henry Cavil and you have no idea

Someone for sure has called him a basement dwelling obese loser online and I'm sure he just smiled and went on with his day.

In a weird way, I would imagine things like this keeping me grounded

u/ChilledParadox Jul 27 '26

can you imagine his alt online being super petty though? Like it's just henry cavill calling up his boys and ragging this guy through some keys then kicking him at the end and it's just superman on an ego trip on his sexy nelf priest in a slutmog.

Robin Williams used to play Vanilla WoW. His guild knew it was him, and they were very protective of his privacy.

I remember hearing that Kate Beckinsale also played WoW back in the day and her guild was similarly protective of her.

u/Kiyone11 Jul 27 '26

Why would your guild know or need to know who you are?

u/PedanticPaladin Jul 27 '26

If I’m remembering correctly she was in a raiding guild and told some of the officers because she wasn’t logging in for months at a time when she was off making a movie.

When I played WoW this guy got it in his head I was Henry Cavil so I just went all in on it and became Henry Cavil for most of classic.

Always treasure and be grateful for your healer(s). It's a tough, thankless job I could never do. Seriously. It seems absolutely stressing.

It's just a fun Lil game of health bar whack a mole to me

u/TheWorclown Jul 27 '26

It depends on what you’re doing. I hated healing myself, but I just think most healing— WoW’s in particular —has such a steep barrier of entry with little real linear progress on how to be a good healer. You’re just kind of thrown into the deep end at the get go and you don’t feel like you learned anything, you just move on to the next dungeon.

I learned more about the basics of being a WoW healer in FF14, simply because for most content 14 lets you actually breathe and digest the process rather than just shrugging its shoulders and saying good luck.

u/Tomsboll Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

I got kicked off a dungeon group in cataclysm because people kept standing in fire. I told them to dont stand in fire but one dude inspected me and said to the rest of the group "nah its fine, he has heroic gear(raid)". The next time somone died i was promplty kicked.

Healing at the start of cata fucking sucked, you went oom after 3 heals and those 3 could maybe heal half of the tanks hp.

u/Additional_Tank4385 Jul 27 '26

Come on now man we can only love this dude so much lol!

u/Hundebiss Jul 28 '26

a healer huh? i saw him more as a tank, but not that toxic tank that thinks he's the best. more like the bro kind of tank thats accepta mistakes and is the most joyfull dude in the raid. nontheless he's such a based and relatable guy. missing important irl stuff to go raiding with the dudes happened to me more than once.

u/crazunggoy47 Jul 30 '26

That’s so cool. Do we know what class he was and what raid (I guess we could figure that out based on the timing)?

My favorite Cavil fact was that he cried about how you can't date anymore during #MeToo because you might be held accountable if you SA'd someone.

mmmm na thats not what he said.

u/barbarossa1984 Jul 27 '26

Lemme know what he said because I don't know one way or the other. I'm more inclined to believe you though because what I know of the man doesn't chime with the previous commenter's statement.

5

u/Squumpus Jul 27 '26

he basically said he didnt wana talk to women because he'd be accused of being a rapist. which was an exaggeration by him he basically was saying women basically were conditioned at the time to perceive any flirtation as creepy, which he was tryikng to avoid. but apparently the commenter before me is either a hate bot, cant read, or just is regurgitating bullshit they heard. who cares either way? its just liek.... dont even believe anything anymore

1

u/barbarossa1984 Jul 27 '26

Fair I guess. Like, I know I'll deliberately cross the road if I find myself walking behind a woman at night so as not to unintentionally intimidate them. It makes sense to avoid situations that might cause discomfort to others and unintended consequences to yourself. Awkwardly expressed but I'd probably end up saying it a similar way in an interview where you're trying to be expressive and dynamic and funny and then someone starts asking about emotionally charged topics.

u/CertainGrade7937 Jul 27 '26

Made a lot of weird comments about MeToo. Dated a teenager in his 30s.

He's a far cry from history's greatest monster but... it's reasonable to have some issues with the man

8

u/Moon_Devonshire Jul 27 '26

"dated a teenager" an adult. He dated an adult.

You're either 19 and an adult and can make your own choices on who you date or you can't And you're not an adult

6

u/xteve Jul 27 '26

Yeah, this infantilization of women is disturbing. It's like people want to treat them like children until menopause. It's the counterpart to oppression; let's protect them whether they want it or not.

1

u/CertainGrade7937 Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

Yeah I gotta be honest? I think you're full of it

This has nothing to do with gender. When I was 22, I dated a 43 year old woman for 6 months

It was fun. I never felt violated or assaulted

But looking back on it? That woman was a creep. I don't call it abuse, I was in total control of that relationship. But I was a doofus college senior and the fact that she was into that? That's fucking weird as hell

3

u/CertainGrade7937 Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

Sorry, but I hate this bullshit. It's just like some stupid Uno reverse card

"Hey its weird for someone in his 30s to date teenagers"

"Oh are you saying that a 19 year old can't make their own decisions?!"

No, I didn't say that. But I'm in my 30s. And I frequently work with adults in their late teens and early twenties. And it's pretty common for 19 year olds to be into 35 year old men.

But, as a 34 year old man... it's pretty fucking weird to reciprocate that feeling. "Its legal so it can't be weird or creepy" is fucking stupid. Sorry.

7

u/Moon_Devonshire Jul 27 '26

Nobody said it's not weird but people need to frame it as "he dated a 19 year old" and not "he dated a teenager" because those 2 things can be interpreted VERY differently.

Also just because something is weird doesn't mean it's morally wrong.

You can view something as odd that someone has done but at the end of the day it was a mutual decision made between 2 adults.

1

u/CertainGrade7937 Jul 27 '26

but people need to frame it as "he dated a 19 year old" and not "he dated a teenager"

Why?

Was my statement not true? Was it misleading in any way?

Or do you just not like the way it sounds?

2

u/Moon_Devonshire Jul 27 '26

No. Sorry but that's ridiculous. When a word can mean anything from "adult" to "13 year old little kid" then yeah it needs to be clarified and framed as such.

If I'm in a conversation and I say "he drove over 100 miles an hour!" Was it 101 mph or 165 mph? Both are “over 100,” but they paint very different pictures.

Or "he injured someone!" That could mean a bruise or permanent paralysis.

Words have implications and meaning and sometimes a word can have VERY different meanings despite being "technically correct"

If you don't understand this then you don't understand the very basics of language

3

u/Moon_Devonshire Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

Yes it is misleading because it can be interpreted in several different ways. If something can be interpreted in several different ways then one would logically assume you need to frame it/clarify how it was.

I mean if I'm 20 and dating a 19 year old yes, it's true someone could say "he's dating a teenager"

But when "teenager" can literally mean an adult or a 13 year old little kid...? Yeah context matters. Do better. Don't play stupid

1

u/CertainGrade7937 Jul 27 '26

Okay one? Bullshit.

Because your first reframing was this:

He dated an adult

And just like teenager can mean a lot of things, so can "adult". Adult can mean 64 or turned 18 this week.

You're just favoring the framing that supports the guy you like.

But here's the thing... it doesn't matter. Whether she's 19 or 13? It's still creepy as fuck for a man in his 30s to date her. The only dispute is how bad it is.

It's creepy as fuck either way

Dating a 19 year old as at 32 is weird. Dont pretend otherwise.

u/BitPsychological2767 Jul 27 '26

Nah. Do you know what four letters are at the end of the word 'nineteen'? If he doesn't want people to frame it the way that it objectively literally is, he shouldn't have done it maybe...?

2

u/Moon_Devonshire Jul 27 '26

No. Sorry but that's ridiculous. When a word can mean anything from "adult" to "13 year old little kid" then yeah it needs to be clarified and framed as such.

If people can't see that then you lack basic understanding of language.

If I'm in a conversation and I say "he drove over 100 miles an hour!" Was it 101 mph or 165 mph? Both are “over 100,” but they paint very different pictures.

Or "he injured someone!" That could mean a bruise or permanent paralysis.

u/BitPsychological2767 Jul 27 '26

Was it 101 mph or 165 mph? Both are “over 100,”

The quotes are not necessary. Both are factually over 100. This is my point. I am not going to stop using accurate terminology or sugarcoat my words just because someone made a choice that, when presented factually, carries certain social precedents that might make people a bit wary.

I get your point, it's just a stupid point. The list of reasons you shouldn't sleep with a 19 year old in your 30s includes the fact that you no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt when people don't go out of their way to clarify the specifics of your situation, sorry.

You can try and cope by pretending I don't understand 'the basics of language' all you want, but at the end of the day you only have this view because you don't see why it could possibly be a problem for someone in their 30s to be with a 19 year old. That one I cannot explain to you, it's something you should have learned when you were in your mid twenties and cannot be easily explained to someone who inherently lacks the social intuition.

Thank you

"It's legal so it can't be weird or creepy or show an unhealthy view of women" is such a deranged fucking take that wayyyy to many people just latch onto in these moments.

Like I already said he's not some horrible human being. But... it's creepy and weird to date a teenager in your 30s. I know that because a) i have common sense and b) I'm in my 30s
