Wasn't there also the "lie flat" trend? It's not just Gen Z who are calling uncle. If I had the means, I'd join them.

"Oh, wow, where did this take place?" "S. Africa." "Why didn't they just put that in the title? 😤"

Of course. We have people in government who don't believe in germ theory. Education is extremely expensive, and if you don't pick a "Good" major, not only are you in debt, but shamed and mocked for it, since no one "forced" you to go. Jobs that require these degrees, even doctors, are not paying enough for people to live, study, and afford food. Why would you stay?

I think that was amazingly awesome. The people saying there's a time and place, you're correct. This was the time and place. Take a stand, make noise, make people uncomfortable. Quiet compliance is what got us here in the first place.

"People are enjoying a tree, and I took that personally."
I thought these were teenagers, but one of them is almost 40, and the other is over 30. What assholes.

1. It was based on a real life person who was black, not white: The creator addressed it and said it was intentional. He did it out of concerns that people who see it as a race issue versus a gender issue. He thought it would widen the audience.
2. Why a middle class kid: Same reason as above. He wanted to show that a "Good" kid from a "Good" family could find themselves being harmed by red pill content.
3. Why is it about "incels?" : Yes, that main case was about an older boy/teen/man, but there have been a rise in UK stabbings and sexual assault of kids by kids. It's not specifically about incels, but the culture that's creating them.
3. They're trying to say that men are just evil: No, they are not. It's literally trying to do the opposite. It's trying to show that these men and boys are not just evil for evils sake, or born with it, but that the ideas are fed and nurtured through family, friends, social media, etc. It showing that even a really good kid from a good family can be made into something twisted if their nursed on this kind of content.
4. How come women get away with this but men don't: It's a result of the patriarchy. Because women are seen as lesser, even their crimes are seen as lesser (think of female teachers that "have sex" with students). Women are weak, so if you're hurt by a woman, you're weak. You were beat up by your girlfriend? Pussy, it's not like she was a guy. He probably did something wrong, Yada, Yada, Yada. Those ideals shield some women from rightful punishment and block men from getting justice and care. (that's actually very feminist of this video!)
5. This had nothing to do with the mansosphere or red pill content, it's judt a hit piece on men: Men =/= red pill. The content is *for* men, but not all men consume it. The idea that this young man in the show who was lying about his relationships, pleading to know if the therapist liked him, went after a girl thinking she'd be "weak" enough after having her nudes shared (and thinking the guy that sent them messed up because he should have gotten more first), and then stabbing her to death when he was still rejected is the result of those toxic teachings. He even called himself a good guy because he didn't touch her, even though he killed her.
Being held accountable can feel like an attack, but I hope you move past that initial anger. The show is actually very sympathetic towards the boy and his family. The show runner made the show to bring attention to the pressure cooker we are keeping men and boys in in the name of being masculine. Instead of thinking of it as a hit piece, think of it more of a man to man talk.

The Palestinians have yet to gift him the golden limb of one of the many obliterated children, so it's not likely.
