    A lot of the young men who frequent larger sites like reddit feel very sensitive to what they perceive as criticism of men broadly, or have spent so much time reading man-o-sphere victimization porn that they see even mild jokes like this as misandry and hate and why women won’t touch their weewee and cook them tendies.

    Source: used to mod a large gender-related subreddit, it’s even worse than you can imagine.

      I’m a bit flabbergasted just, is the gripe that this guy has hooked up with a girl? That it has the gaul to portray how intersex relations used to be?

        Oh, I can guarantee that there is no small share of young incellish guys who have their crippling insecurity triggered every time they see even loosely-drawn cartoon characters hooking up.

        I know because I used to have to deal with those fucks while moderating that cursed place.

          That’s really sad. I wish I could show them how to get out even though that’s exactly what the manosphere grifters prey on

      I used to live like this, but it would never in a million years have occurred to me that criticism of that lifestyle would be the problem rather than the lifestyle itself. I was always fully aware of how fucked-up and indefensible it was.

        Welcome to the second quarter of the millenium. The motto here is “You have no need to change as long as there’s a community who supports you.”

        I mean, if Asmondgold can be one of the most popular people in the world, I am pretty sure there is no such thing as the word “indefensible” anymore.

      I’m willing to get upset about this if anyone needs the comfort Reddit normal brings. I definitely think this if hilarious but I promise I won’t show it if my service is required. 🤣

        If you want to give it a go, I’ll give you a rating compared to what I was used to seeing!
