Yeah the dude in my old neighborhood who drove a Dodge RAM but rearranged the letters so it said "WAR" on the tailgate instead, and had a bumper sticker that said "KILL EVERYTHING" in that script that's like, "badass Gothic tribal" but in reality is just floral minus the actual flowers... Not all clown cars are smol

there is a ~~male~~ loneliness epidemic

FTFY

I think it's phrased like this because it's less acceptable for men to express feelings like sadness or loneliness. men and boys who are lonely and alienated can more easily fall down the Andrew Tate/4Chan/Jordan Peterson/blackpill pipeline which yields violent extremist behavior. Obviously it's not only men

Yeah, that’s not at all what the male loneliness thing is about at all. Was the point of your meme to make fun of how ignorant people are about this particular issue for men or were you trying to suggest the issue is invalid and the result of misogynistic assholes? Because if it’s the latter I think you just demonstrated your own ignorance and should probably spend some time trying to empathize more with men and educate yourself.

Par for the course for cm0002 to drop a devisive clickbait "meme" for engagement and disappear. I understand we want Lemmy to grow, but is this actually the kind of content we want churned out?

The comments on this one really highlights Lemmy's demographics. You can take the men out of reddit but you can't take the reddit out of men lmao

There are multiple ways to get to the loneliness stage. The meme identifies one way that is self inflicted which starts with misogyny and spirals from there.

The problem is the format of the meme implies that the last panel is invalid, and that the conclusion "there is a male loneliness epidemic" is something only women hating clowns believe.

I guarantee if the last panel was stated like "why won't women date me" or "I'm lonely" or even "I'm only single because of the male loneliness epidemic" then there wouldn't be nearly as much backlash in the comments

I doubt the first 3 statements are the same person as the fourth in most cases

The people speaking about male loneliness epidemics aren't the incels right? I think trying to understand the problems related to masculinity in society is exactly the opposite, trying to combat incels and the like. It has nothing to do with blaming women (at least in my experience)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Death of third places and the tech takeover of social interaction is why men and women seem to hate each other now. We don't have much opportunity to meet romantically in person and the online space pits extremists against each other until all the regular people believe that's just the way it is in real life too.

Can't overlook that women being, for the most part, economically equal for the first time ever gives them more opportunity to choose as well.

I've seen this """""meme""""" four times in the last week.

We get it, it's low quality bait. Move along.
