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

Genuinely, who keeps posting shit like this on here? I keep seeing posts such as this one and it's honestly pushing me away from Lemmy. Why spend time on a platform that hates me? If being a man who didn't date (because of social anxiety, btw, not that you'd care, since clearly men are by default fascists, according to some comments here) is a sin, let us know on the front page, so that me and others like myself can avoid this place.

A lot of comments are, thankfully, calling this shitty behaviour out. But then I look at the post itself, which has 696 upvotes and 166 downvotes, and I'm like... I'm not wanted here.

it reads like a smug take from a shitlib clout chaser with zero nuance and zero understanding beyond the superficial to me, so that'd be my first guess.

there are a whole lot of them out there, making everything around them worse.

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

Don't let the vote ratio on the post turn you away. I'm pretty sure most people assume tumblr is cringe, so a cringe post isn't going to be downvoted to oblivion.
