the obsession that some men have with projecting an archetype of hot crazy woman onto anyone vaguely alt is funny when you realize they just got mad that a woman they dated had emotions or needs

“are you okay?” you ask. i look up, a slight smirk on my face. an abysmal cover of “feelin’ good” begins to play.

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny
at that point, you often see them let go of their pretensions towards being a Player and just go full Handmaiden's Tale. It's where they always were, but they deluded themselves into thinking it could be fun and frivolous

the sweeney ad is a good example of how the media environment is designed to help conservatives. were there some over the top tiktoks? yeah. was it anybody of note? or systemic on the left? not really. but literally anyone or anything can fuel a machine designed to make trouble for dems
we are at my favorite part of the manufactured culture war news cycle where “the left is out of control on the sydney sweeney ad” articles exclusively feature right wingers complaining about the backlash with zero (0) examples of prominent democrats actually complaining about the ad

there’s always some new health craze that will revolutionize health and quite literally all are scams to sell supplements because if they were telling you the truth all they’d tell you is get daily recommended amount of fiber, eat like 1 fruit a day and stop drinking soda daily
