Because it is the same as renting or using AI. They are the triggers of Reddit Lemmy dogpiling.

All that text and not an ounce of empathy, this place really is turning into Reddit 2.0. But no true Scotsman, Right?

“Look at any city that currently exists that has at least half decent public transit, or town where its reasonably safe to walk to common places you’d need to go.”. I live in one of those, and it is still prohibitive as fuck, so you will probably just say something like “Well, not there, I meant somewhere like Japan”, and buddy, been there too.

You’re like the people who sees someone with depression and just tells them “Just go to therapy, they’ll fix you”.

Honestly, that is just overcomplicating something very basic for the sake of polarization, views and manufactured rage. People want esthetically pleasing things, and that doesn’t need to mean sexy.

Do I find some male videogame characters sexy? Yes, very. But most importantly, we just want our ape brains to go “Engagement and dopamine, yay”.

Do men need to devote days to unlock mirror mode in the latest Mario Kart? Nope, but in a world this depressive and bleak it is an achievement, and sexy doesn’t even factor there.

Honestly, I wish there were proper places for people like us. I don’t have the grace to write as much and as well as you, but you hit the nail right in the head, and see the whole picture.

And that stuff happens pretty much everywhere, I got lucky I am autistic, bisexual, got raised by a very hands-on dad, and therefore, far more open to male bonding than your average guy.

The whole system has flaws, and most people are too blind to see we are all being pitted against each other and farmed for content, attention and ad revenue.

I would like to find a true MGTOW community without bullshit strewn in. Last time I tried joining a community of that sort, all their looksmaxing stuff made me feel very uncomfortable. I’m almost 40 and a little bit pudgy, but I’m happy with my current body.
