The Man Carrying Thing Makes Fun of Male Loneliness

Enzi42 · 2025-02-11T14:25:13+00:00

Interesting that this post comes up when I was just thinking of this particular issue, although it was a different content creator that inspired me.

Perhaps it is an unpopular opinion but I find this phenomenon---male content creators who mock and belittle other men on behalf of women, and hold themselves up as shining beacons of righteousness while doing so--to be a massive problem, far worse than even the most misandrist tik tok feminist.

These people personify one of the biggest men's issue, perhaps the actual root of all our suffering---the apathy and even antipathy for other men and the lack of hesitation to trample your own kind if it will benefit women. You see it on the right and you see it on the left, although it takes different forms.

What's particularly gross about content creators like the one being discussed in this post is that their main audience isn't men, but women who go there to see a man shit on other men. That's actually a big part of their appeal, the sight of a man railing against his own kind.

This isn't just an assumption I made either; it's based upon years of observation and conversations with women in the comment sections of these types of videos.

It isn't even an uncharitable interpretation of a more nuanced topic, I was literally told that one of the things they like about it was that particular feature...although it was phrased in a way that was superficially less diabolical.

Honestly it's sickening, just as vile as the men who specifically visit certain female creators who do the same to women, just because they get gratification from seeing the gender they dislike turn on their own kind.

But I'm getting off topic. One of my biggest focuses when it comes to men's issues is to eradicate or at least severely prune internalized misandry and foster a care for our fellow men. I think that must be done or else all other efforts will fall apart from within.

These types of men are a problem that need to be solved and I definitely think that men who are particularly bothered by it can take an example from women-led movements in this regard.

Spread word on how awful these "men" are for gender dynamics as a whole. Recommend other types of content to those in your circle in order to deprive them of viewership. If men with these types of ideals are in your own circles in real life, ostracize them until they change their way of thinking.

It's not much, but if these practices become widespread they may make a difference even if slightly.

It's frustrating because they're trying to make a valid point but can't resist going for the cheap "Men, am I right?" humor.

This would be like lightly addressing women's issues but then turning it all into a joke about shopping for shoes.

Dunking on socially struggling men has always been encouraged by the society, men or women, conservative or "progressive" the image of a struggling men (especially socially) evoke a feeling of disgust for vast majority of people.

My advice is to not ask for pity from the people who despise you (which happens to be the majority of people who don't know you because to them you don't have a personality, just member of male sex which only has negative connotations), to focus on things you enjoy, keep being yourself and of course support your fellow struggling men.

HantuBuster · 2025-02-11T17:40:34+00:00

This is just male posturing, but framed in a progressive lens. This guy is unironically pushing 'toxic' masculinity back on men. It's funny, it's usually men like this who say "men should support other men" or " feminism is about both genders", yet the same men won't hold back to jump and shit on men for talking about men's issues. The posturing in insane.

Poyri35 · 2025-02-11T13:55:43+00:00

I just watched that video (it got recommended to me)

I got what he was going for, “you didn’t cared about loneliness until it affected men and could be used against women”

He failed miserably. Not only that, even “the wiser guy” in the video indirectly denies male loneliness

This video is just 1 minute of “everyone is lonely, stop bitching and crying. Men only care about themselves and attacking others.”

When will they learn that these kinds of videos are never seen by the people they try to criticise but by people that actually suffer from them.

The title says “men”. Whether or not he meant only one portion of “the men” is irrelevant

This is just the “Max Hater” campaign all over again

pbaagui1 · 2025-02-11T17:29:41+00:00

Screw this guy. Used to watch him then he started to go full toxic male feminist mode

Mister_3177 · 2025-02-11T14:47:44+00:00

damn... I used to watch this guy so much. Sucks that he himself got inside into the "feminist" black hole to satiate his audience.

SpicyMarshmellow · 2025-02-11T18:20:33+00:00

It's incredible how they can't do the math. They'll pin male loneliness on toxic masculinity - that we're just emotionally incompetent and don't put in the work to maintain friendships..... as they are participating in talking to men this way. Yeah, when half the population addresses you like this based on how you were born, the world's going to be a lonely fucking place. Unless you're willing to participate in contributing to the problem, like this guy. It's a pretty simple situation to understand, really.

asfh38 · 2025-02-12T07:51:09+00:00

"yea women should be nicer to us" YES STRAWMAN. Bigoted garbage like being compared to bears is not very nice at all.

MedBayMan2 · 2025-02-11T12:49:00+00:00

I think I am close to giving up at this point. Is this what my life will be like till the day I end up six feet under the ground? Full of gaslighting, dismissal, hatred and corny jokes full of mockery? Is this why I was born? To be a soulless slave that upholds the society that loathes me? I don’t even know if I will end up with a partner who loves me for who I am and in whom I can confide. I feel like I am just a disposable cog in this sick, sick system full of selfish and hateful people. So why bother at this point? Why try?

I don’t know. I am slowly reaching the conclusion that my life was a huge mistake. Ever since I was a kid I dreamt of a better life and a better world. I had hope. But all I see is how everything and everyone is becoming worse and how we men are being treated as providers of resources and nothing else, while being blamed for all the problems. This is too much.

I must admit, the only thing stopping me from hanging myself is my mother. I live for her, even though each and every time when I breathe I feel how the air burns my lungs, when I hear a noise it sounds deafening, when I move even slightly it requires a titanic effort. Tell me, why should I live if this is what I should expect from this world?

educateYourselfHO · 2025-02-12T08:47:46+00:00

I really find it hilarious how intersectionality stops at men.

This-Oil-5577 · 2025-02-12T05:25:13+00:00

Could always tell this guy was a “I’m different from the other guys” chud from the channel name alone. Good to see my soy detection skills are still sharp.

2025-02-13T10:30:54+00:00

Honestly, I am done trying to articulate how loneliness affects me as a man. I'm done trying to explain how loneliness just hits different as a man. Male loneliness isn't an issue of just being lonely, it's all the connotations that come along with that, you get ruthlessly mocked, shamed and told to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Like, I'm autistic and really struggle with making friends and such, yet every time I try to open up about it it's always the same old "bootstraps" bs because apparently me being a man means I face no issues whatsoever because or "PAtRIaRcHy" or some shit or that I'm only complaining because I "can't get sex/dates" even though I'm kinda asexual and have no real interest in dating.

hendrixski · 2025-02-13T00:25:08+00:00

Ugh. The point is not "women should be nicer to us". The point is "society should stop treating us like shit" because we do in fact have it worse.

GodlessPerson · 2025-02-11T19:07:23+00:00

Men are told to express their feelings but when those feelings fall outside of the accepted range of feelings men can actually pick from, we are told to go put our feelings back in the box and man up.

Sure-Vermicelli4369 · 2025-02-11T15:29:36+00:00

Why do they always look like that?

2025-02-11T15:42:27+00:00

Crazy coincidence, I just saw this video last night and considered posting about it here 😅

g00fyG00ner0 · 2025-02-11T21:22:25+00:00

Saw this in my recommended and rolled my eyes too hard. This guy and his channel are the absolute archetype of male feminist and the “I’m one of the good moids gals!”. 🙄

jpla86 · 2025-02-12T22:49:01+00:00

You know, oftentimes I get really frustrated and wonder why so many people, specifically men, voted for Trump a second time.

Then I see shit like this, I start to calm down and remind myself: “Yeah, that’s why.”

Akainu14 · 2025-02-13T06:40:19+00:00

Ive got nothing meaningful to say, I just fucking hate this guy and all quirky fake-positive content like this

BloomingBrains · 2025-02-14T04:14:59+00:00

The inclusion of the line "women should be nicer to us" as if that's some kind of ridiculous statement on par with all the other things he's saying is what really disturbs me. People are literally disagreeing with statements as benign and basic as women being nice to men. They don't think we even deserve that level of decency. Yet of course they think men should be nice to women. But oh, walk a tightrope and don't be a nice guy *TM* either...

This is why so many men are turning to the right. They figure "why should we be nice to you if you won't be nice to us"? And while that view is reprehensible and I definitely advocate for taking the moral high ground without playing right into their hands, I can understand why people would think this way.

Stuff like this is why Roe vs. Wade got repealed. The slow erosion of women's rights we are currently seeing will get even worse if people like this continue to hamstring themselves by alienating men who otherwise would have wanted to help.

Wauron · 2025-02-13T20:02:13+00:00

You can show these people statistics all you want, they will still insist that men aren't any more lonely then women.

Dance_Sufficient · 2025-02-11T14:30:24+00:00

Eh. This guy has popped up in my algorithm. This is the kind of guy we find out is a violent rapist in about 5-10 years time.

WindridingWyvern · 2025-03-03T03:19:23+00:00

Maybe we need to start just aknowleding these people are literally just right wingers who call themselves progressives. They wrapped themselves in ideas of moral puritanism, anti-sex, reframing institutional issues as identity issues, reinforcing ideas that arbitrarily divide people based on how they are born, dismiss class politics as "class reductionism", advocate for censorship in media and art, embracing corporations' power to censor and take away livelihoods, etc, etc, etc.

And they did it all by painting themselves as the "true" left, and by painting anyone who disagrees with them as right wing. When they consistently repackage, right wing identity and economic politics as progressive.

I don't know. I want to believe these people deep down have progressive principles and are just deeply misguided. But I don't know. And knowing that is the key to knowing how to deal with them. Maybe it's just a case-by-case basis thing.

I don’t think he intends to deny loneliness disproportionately impacts men, but is trying to point out that people blame the wrong things for the problem.

Rather than making fun of male loneliness, this video is making fun of people who use male loneliness as an excuse to fall down the anti-woke pipeline.

At the start of the video the character does not care about loneliness, and only begins to care when he thinks this phenomenon can be used against women.

Dazzling_Shoulder_69 · 2025-02-11T13:04:58+00:00

My opinion might be Offensive .

I think that men are more lonelier than women because men don't value their male friendships .

Women value their sisterhood , female friends much more than any romantic relationship with men . Men value their romantic relationship with women instead of male friendships.

This is just my opinion . I might be wrong .
