Some popular comments on the tweet:

•"So men are not responsible for their choices."

•"Typifies PATRIARCHY!"

•"So tired of all the misogyny!!"

•"When men do wrong, fall back on your own sword and do what generations of men have done, and blame women. It saves you having to think deeper than the shallowest puddle. In other words, it's laziness and manipulative"

•"Men’s domestic violence is a leading cause of death among women, but sure let’s “worry” about video games and porn rather than women’s lives."

•"If in doubt, blame women."

•"Projection"

And notice the presuppositions that are always at play.

It's not simply that they don't address the question of whether feminism is causing men to give up on gender relations and career and turn to porn and video games instead.

It never occurs to them to ask the question cause the idea that feminism could have negative consequences is an alien concept. Feminism is a lot like the hardline belief that god is morally perfect and incapable of doing evil.

Men should just go on strike lol

Actually I'd been introduced into video games at like age 5, feminists had literally nothing to do with that, but they sure are trying to by getting offended on behalf of cgi women.

Wow, who would’ve guessed that because men couldn’t safely interact with women they’d derive sexual pleasure somewhere else?

Reminds me of that meme where a woman on social media is saying something like "why do grown men play video games, real men don't play video games" and a man replies with "the same reason you wear make-up, a little escape from reality".

The baseline statement seems absurd but I understand what he’s getting at. I wish they’d discuss this in a more articulate way

“Far-right,” “Ridiculed.” Yes, yes. Ridicule him, bath in self-righteousness, as you drink your diet drinks and watch society collapse.

Men are scared to even talk to women these days. You tell a woman "hey, you look lovely today". Psycho twat starts screaming at you and calling you names and then slander and run you through the mud on social media and often times try to sue you or cost you your job. No one wants that drama.

Feminism is being pushed to demonize men. No men, no babies, no people. It's kinda simple of why we need to fight this "queerness and feminisms" being pushed on children the future of our species is at stake. Men need to be men, women need to be women. Simply, it is how "humans" survive...

Has he considered that porn and video games are pretty great on their own?

That moment when tons of men go on to support them, but a single dumb thread is filled with actual whataboutism and projection of how men are treated.

He's not wrong though.

Omg it has not, or at least if men went that way. There are loads of sane women. What does seem to have hurt young gen Y and older gen x is that school and pop culture has taken a lot that was good out of them and simultaneously attacked their self worth. Think "toxic masculinity". The damage to men is due to much more then just feminisms.

I don't know how to feel about this. I don't trust the right but I respect him for having the guts too tell the truth.

I wish more politicians would be as honest as this.

Actually it’s traditionalism in a supposedly feminist society that has driven men to porn and vidya. Traditional gender roles that dictate that the men must pay more and do this and do that. Feminism just gives us a way out, we’re all equal now.

2014: Video games are making men misogynists.

2021: Feminism is making men be video games addicteds.

(I used to think that both were stupid, but now I think that both are right because the idea that feminism is making men play video games and this is making them sexists is funny.)

You have to hand it to Republicans.

They always come to the right conclusion about 100 years too late.

"Hai gais, something bad is happening."

Next he'll suggest that men fix bayonets and prepare for a cavalry charge.

The average GOP'er thinks they are Chesty B Puller.

"Liberals ahead of us, progressives to the left, communists to the right, and socialist behind us, they can't get away from me now!"

It doesn't occur them that the culture war was lost a long time ago, the country is dildo'd and poz'd.

We are living on the ruins of a once great society, now in its third autopsy.
