    The way language is used shapes perceptions and insecurities, there are ways to frame your struggles that don’t denigrate others but my critisicm wasn’t levelled at yourself.

    Its a societal issue and one that overwhelming affects young men. Those young men then look for solutions and fall into the easy trap of the ‘manosphere’ which preys on their insecurities and shows them a sort of toxic ‘success’.

    There’s a reason all the far right rallies are full of manlets and overweight slobs. They’re vulnerable to the messaging and driven in that direction by a society that rejects them.

      Yeah no that was caused by 3rd wave feminists giving the rancid tumor of gamergate legitimacy by addressing it across every fuckdamn channel shaming boys for liking boobs in video games

      You speak in sweeping generalizations about human nature but seem to ignore the actual historical facts of the situation. Those posts and campaigns were made by people, decided by individuals, with the express purpose of marginalizing young men. THE EXPRESS PURPOSE. They literally stated it in their charters

      Young men are severely disenfranchised in the modern world and certain specific repugnican social agents including Steve Bannon capitalized on this economic and social disenfranchization to devastating effect and positioned them to take heat from the screaming bluehaired lesbian committee instead of the actual deceitful organizers that planned the harassment campaigns.

      From the mid 00-s to 2014 the entire web was flooded with misogynistic vitriol and calls of violence towards men as 3rd wave feminists finally got their chance to oppress. Mens social safety nets are orders of magnitude less robust than what are established for women. This made fertile ground for discontent that Bannon reaped with his conspiracy theory carousel.

      And the WORST part is that ALL of you blame it on ‘fat incel manlets’ when the majority of them are just normal guys tired of being told they are inherently evil for liking big tits on a video game character, and being directly manipulated by a fascist con-man to get his favorite baby raper elected

      And every fucking one of you fell for it, hell you are even yourself echoing the same hateful speech that was used to radicalize them

        The analysis ain’t wrong but you can’t expect the normies to understand it…

        Also, this is a culture war and you still playing it.

        I don’t you see calling out the real culprit here either…

        Is there a specific reason why you are giving paasites a pass while doing a culture war circle jerk?

        Are you a useful idiot or poorly educated?
