so many comments claiming this post blames or makes fun of men and incels that i went back and reread the whole thing... what the fuck are the lot of you even responding to‽ there's nothing like that in the post, and on the contrary it says men are victimized by this. Jesus, some of you are really willing to take anything as a slight. beats self reflection i guess.

it doesn't blame men

Is your point that manosphere is not "men" but... Idk, a subspecies of a very aggressive and mean bear?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

manosphere refers to the online cult created by influencers like Rogan, Tate, etc.

you're literally doing the "if you criticize Israel you're antisemitic" bullshit for manosphere and misandry instead.

It doesn't blame men, except those specific men and all the men who listened or fell for them

Is that your point?

(I'm going to ignore your personal attacks.)

please point to the personal attack in my comment

you’re literally doing the “if you criticize Israel you’re antisemitic” bullshit

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

calling out your bullshit is not a personal attack. a personal attack is an attack on someone's person, not their actions. i commented on your actions.

If that were true, you wouldn't be trying to derail that conversation but you'd got back to what exactly is your point here? Because I called your point bullshit?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

... what? you're the one who doesn't even know what a personal insult is, let alone understand my point. i didn't bring the conversation there. you did.

my point is clear and was made already, no matter how badly you want to interpret it in a way that makes you feel persecuted. no one blamed "men" for the loneliness epidemic. they blamed the cult that preys on men. it's literally a post about men being victims to the manosphere. the fact that you take offense to what's directed at the sex criminal Tator or the grifter piece of shit Rogan personally tells more about you than me.

And pray tell me where did I

the fact that you take offense to what’s directed at the sex criminal Tator or the grifter piece of shit Rogan personally tells more about you than me.

But... that's what you wrote here: manosphere refers to the online cult created by influencers like Rogan, Tate, etc.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

i think you either don't know what blame means, or what cult means

Lemmy becomes completely irrational whenever the words "male loneliness epidemic" appear, once you read that around here (and it shows up in the OP) you can skip the comments as nothing good will come out of the thread.

I kinda get it though

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah a good few people are telling on themselves by feeling called out by this.
