Screenshot 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.

Daaaaamn this one hit you right in the testicles didn't it?

Everyone take note, how it is completely ignoring the 'oh yeah this is totally fucked' part and crying about how it cant get fucked. This is what happens every time. Always. Abd its up votes are positive. Which means a majority of the men here are this gross. A wide majority. This is why women don't want to fuck fuck you; the straightest woman in the world woukd die of serotonin syndrome before she choked down enough zofran to put up with this shit and still be aroused. You all just skip over the part about needing to maje close connections while gwtting in touch woth your feelings and skip straight to being gross to women about how we won't fuck you.

But if this were really about needing to fuck and not misogyny, you'd stop whining at us and hop on grindr.

Your attitude is just proving my point further. The only benefit of the doubt I can give you is that you can't comprehend what I was saying. Also, as far as I know, isn't Grindr for LGBTQ+? If so, why would I go there? I am straight. Or do you think straight men should "stop whining" and date other men? How is this different from conservatives telling gay people to just not be gay?

At the very least, thank you for letting me know I shouldn't be spending time on Lemmy. Keep acting like this and then complain about people using non-Fediverse sites. I'm just done. Enjoy Lemmy, the home of double standards and hatred. I won't take part in it any longer.
