Japanese man uses face editor to look like a woman in order to get more social media followers

Social media is an important part of modern society. It's not something people engage in just to waste time. And it's pretty obvious that women have more social media influence than men.

Well this Japanese biker became fed up with being ignored and started editing in a woman's face on top of his to get more attention.

"No-one will read what a normal middle-aged man, taking care of his motorcycle and taking pictures outside, posts on his account," he said.

Zonggu said he had been surprised by the results of editing apps such as FaceApp.

"First I just tried, then it happened to turn out to be fairly pretty. I get as many as 1,000 'likes' now, though it was usually below 10 before," he said, adding: "I got carried away gradually as I tried to make it cuter."

This story might not seem that important, but I think there's a real pattern here that does have important ramifications on modern society.

For example, how much attention does a man receive venting or talking about his problems on social media compared to a woman? And how likely is he to be the target of social media aid campaigns compared to a woman?

Social media dominates culture and society, so it's important to ask how big of a voice men really have. Far from being male dominated, social media seems to be systematically and institutionally dominated by women. And men might be getting left out as a result.

I have a throwaway where I pass as a woman facing my actual problems: depression, loneliness, disenchantment with the world. Oh boy the attention I've gotten and the lovely PM's. No more gaslighting, victim-blaming, only care and good vibes, and some actual men trying to know more about me. Nothing "creepy" for now, having people to talk to feels good and I feel valued as a person.

Living life in perpetual Disney surely feels different. I don't even have to show any photo. Being a lonely man in today's alienated internet reality feels like a death sentence sometimes...

I tried faceapp once and it cleaved off my skull to make it cuter, I looked like an undead girl with anime eyes.

Being an average white Man is Hard Mode, being a POC Man is Super Hard Mode and being a TransMan is Ultra Hard Mode.. Imagine successfully Transitioning only to find out that your fellow progressives consider Masculinity Toxic.

This just shows how some women can fall down the rabbit hole of attention seeking, it's addictive.

Balance is everything.
