It’s the type of argument that sounds like “don’t believe them, they are just hurt by the fire. Just touch the flames, don’t worry.”.

Convincing about what? That living as a slave to gynocentrism is desirable? I’d rather don’t live at all. Looking away from the bullshit of marriage, pair bonding doesn’t make it disappear. There is a good reason why men are not speaking out about their experiences. Slaves don’t want to be seen as such. Not even by themselves.

The red pill isn’t undoable.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say English is not your first language.

Beats me. Not sure what to refute. MGTOW isn't a news site, we're just posting articles or stories of interest to us. Some people just comment, and others just read and move on.

What's the implication and narrative? That we're wrong? Because pretty much it's hard to refute:

"I don't want to get married".

"I don't want to live with anyone."

How are those statements that emotional or attention grabbing? We don't market, we don't advertise, we just do our thing. Perhaps the reasons someone would say those things may be exciting or emotional, but what's wrong with either of those statements?

I mean the worst you'll get is an opinion you disagree with?

They're the ones pushing a lifestyle on MGTOW, not the other way around. They're the ones saying we must do a, b, and c. Not us.

News makes money by eyeball count.

No one is being paid to post in a psuedononymous forum like this one.

So while their analogy makes sense for the for profit professional misery marketers aka journalists, it doesn't apply here.

Here is your answer, it's the classic snake comparison: You only ever hear about snakes when they bite people. You never hear about the millions of snakes that don't bite people, there's no news there. However, if the snake's venom is poisonous enough, you still fear the snake, because just one bite could kill you.

It doesn't have to be all snakes, because ONE SNAKE IS ENOUGH to seriously damage your life.

Just because something is sensational and attracts attention doesn't make the data it presents false alone.

Ex: If someone shoots up a school and everyone gets emotional about it, does that mean we shouldn't bother putting more safety measures in place because people are upset? Or should we analyze the issues and facts themselves to decide if it is worth investigating in better security measures?
