Show transcriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

It's no better anywhere. I bet the same people who post this shit also bitch and moan about men staying away from leftist spaces. I am liberal, but I don't kid myself about what these people think of me.

Do you mind if I ask who you mean by "these people"?

pseudo-"leftist" take generators who make up shit to mock & deride for clout, perhaps

And this group makes up a relevant portion of leftist spaces?

I mean I don't think the person is really accusing all men, or even lonely men of this, just those who self identify as belonging to a "male loneliness epidemic" a term that's often utilized by alt right influencers.

for deplorable American values of ❝leftist,❞ yes, not sure where you've been the last few years assuming you're genuinely asking.

Lol, as opposed to Lemmy....where everyone has actual leftist values, until you mention feminism.

We have several threads about this. Reddit several subs that crawl with shit like this.

Do you think it's completely baseless? I mean there's people like Andrew tate with millions of viewers who subscribe to this type of behavior. Do you think that the rebuttal outweighs the originating source?

I just don't even see why you would lump yourself in with the accused? Unless you are someone following someone like tate, why do you think they are talking about you?

[-] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 days ago

ah, okay, so you weren't genuinely asking, you were being smug and baiting with gotchas. noted.

Lol, no it's an actual question. I don't really see any gotcha-like statements, just explaining my point of view.

Btw accusations aren't really a rebuttal. Good attempt though!

My issue is with how its talked about and all the generalization of men. And I think the dialog around it feeds these boys to the likes of tate. These kids grow up hearing that man vs bear shit, being told their problems don't matter and that they are the root cause of all the world's problems. We basically are telling them that is where they belong.

Are you not doing the same thing with leftist?

Who is being a misogynist?

I say this in the gentlest possible way and with the sincere hope that everyone can end up where they best fit: go back to reddit and stop shitting in the pool here.

Nah, Lemmy is great. Especially if you enjoy dunking on incels.
