You’re conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?
I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it’s an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it’s an idea inseparable from misogyny.
Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It’s not about women at all, it’s about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)
It can be hard for guys to make friends when they’ve lived their whole life in a “just man up” environment. I didn’t grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I’m not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.
The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.
I really appreciate your pictures from Peru. Always fun to see one of your posts
Sugar! Spice! And everything nice!
These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect little girl!
Yeah I’m not denying it’s true but the title looks like OP copypasted from elsewhere which is the worst way to share news
Any source on the claim in the title?
Oh I’m sorry, I thought we were talking about the comment in the post, not the entirety of the commenter’s posting history. Silly me!
This is good content for this community. If it was based on upvotes, all we’d see are low effort jokes
No, this is the same video that’s been getting posted elsewhere but with some music added and uploaded to some random YouTube channel with a title that doesn’t match the content lol
There is no meltdown in this video, it’s just her being blind. Zero reflection
There is 0 melting down in this video
I think there’s a good chance you’re vividly misremembering the lyrics.
A few weeks ago I was looking for a song I was POSITIVE had the lyric “got to get my baby back” and it wasn’t until days later I remembered another lyric, found the song, and realized the lyric was actually “got to get a hold of this” (RJD2 - Through The Walls, by the way)
I have an insanely good musical memory so I was 100% sure on the lyric until proven otherwise lol
Might be a stretch… D-Mob ft Cathy Dennis - That’s The Way Of The World
I don’t have an answer but I do have a few followup questions:
Do you know for sure that it’s an 80s song? As opposed to a song from later that sounds 80s?
How confident are you on the lyrics? Could you be remembering the cadence and misremembering the words?
Was the “get get get get down” part the singer herself or some kind of sample?
Was the “nothing truly matters” lyric a one-off line or part of the refrain?
Would you consider whistling the melody on vocaroo.com?
Your correction is wrong unless you’re trying to tell us something.
It’s definitely Kyiv, “Kiev” is the russian transliteration
Just want to say that I think they handled the Nomi thing very well in the movie. They were VERY aware of what the audience reaction would be and played into it. They could have pandered a couple different ways and chose not to
This does seem AI generated, yeah
Yes because then people wind up doing drugs (or spamming memes) instead of anything productive, perpetuating the cycle of depression
Drugs work, too. Similarly bad for your brain in the long run, though
Ok you seem like an expert on this so I’ll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It’s just social media incels.
The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average woman. You’ve found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven’t been studies about this going back decades or anything - it’s all incels on social media. My bad.
