Often we see easy ragebait and meme get a real traction to the top of the sub, and while sometime they convey deep ideas, wholesome content or point finger to a fundamental core problem, too often, they offer only cheap indignation and little reflexion.
I concur it is easyer to open an image, laugh and upvote to stick it to the society tgan to watch a full StudioBrûlé video, read a whole redditor essay (especially withouth paragrpahs) or dwelve into a full scientific article. Especially when a meme can be summed by a short one liner while Video titles are hardly descriptives, and most of us dont click as we are already suscribed (i shall make a post with the mandatory channels for the few unatentives soon).
But while sticking a meme to our gynocentric environnement can be satisfactory in the moment, it will not win the masses alone. What will be left on the long term is high quality content and reflexion.
I have a hint, that the lot of us isent used to have yheir speech valued. That we have low self esteem and want to shout in the dark and run as we think we will be attacked if we stand our ground and fight our stand. I used to be like this.
There should be something to elaborate about the link between the devaluation of boys and their ability to put value in their expression. I cannot avoid making the comparaison with the entitled sexisM we see in feminism and the primal indignation we often see here.
Now, i am confident in my intelligence and my abilities. I know that we will be attacked if i stand on a MRA position, but i also know it is not a vain nor impossible fight. I may loose often, and go back insulted, but not withouth convincing a few people that it is a valid cause or making a line move a little. I may also often fight for nothing, wasting my time for text no one will read or consider, but it will ensure that when one is read it will be effective.
So, guys, Value your intellect, value your speech, value yourself. Get a go at putting your thoughts in order and publish them.
