I got a link on Discord to this video here: https://youtu.be/QvsUMo2wmpk?is=y5wKzYkffS7ZtBPo

And it talks about fighting loneliness by filling up empty seats. Here are my thoughts:

I find it weird and maybe offensive that the main man in this video replaced the guy who committed suicide by having another guy literally take his place/seat.

Btw, I think he must have clout or something because I have strong doubts that random strangers will come and sit next to you if you’re alone and need company. I’ve eaten alone in restaurants before. I never even dared to ask someone to come join at my table to eat and chat with me.

Sarah however, I think it’ll be more easier for her to randomly find new friends to hang out with on the street or in a coffee shop. Men can’t do that sorta thing without being labeled as a creep. It can be even labeled as harassment.

How many do you think out of that poll, the 42% and the 16%, are men? I bet it’s a higher rate than women.

People do not want to usually connect with others outside of their little space or bubble anyway. And how many of these newfound friendships will last longterm as soon as the cameras are off? This whole thing sounds like bullshit to me

People make fun of the male loneliness epidemic and say it doesn’t exist and on the poll screen, it shows a woman crying or something. When women are affected by loneliness, that’s when people care. Not men

This is a song from the band Superheaven. Poor Aileen is about showing empathy towards a female serial killer who only went after men. Showing empathy because she had an abusive upbringing. At least some male serial killers/murders had an abusive upbringing. They get treated like fucking demons but not her because she’s female

This whole section from this article right here is total bullshit: https://movieweb.com/dcu-biggest-supergirl-lessons/

“DC Should Embrace Younger and More Diverse Creative Voices”

There’s always a warning sign when you want to make a piece of media “diverse” because it usually ends up being the opposite of that. And that’s exactly what the new Supergirl movie did anyway. 

“Despite Supergirl being a female-led superhero movie, women were not the majority of the audience. Supergirl's opening weekend audience was 59% men, and of that crowd, 65% were over 25.”

It’s very simple why the numbers are this way. Women are not interested in superhero films or stuff similar to that. It’s stuff that mainly men are interested in. In trying to appeal to feminists (and women), they just end up spitting on the male audience and ruin what they love and enjoy. And you know why they mention age here? You’ll see the further we get into this section

“Why did Supergirl not appeal to more women, specifically young girls who were likely meant to see themselves reflected on screen?”

First off, they want young girls to relate to and have a role model of this woman who is a self centered piece of shit? I know I didn’t watch the movie but I knew from day one, that this movie would turn out this way. Second, this isn’t about appealing to young girls. It’s about exposing young boys to feminist propaganda on screen. That’s why they make the age thing a big deal.

“It's a complicated issue, but it can't help but feel like many of the creative choices behind Supergirl were made to appeal to a male audience”

It’s not complicated at all really. But….whoever wrote this is a flat out liar. This is a feminist propaganda film that shits on Superman’s origin story AGAIN with his birth parents wanting him to conquer Earth and form a harem. They did that in the 2025 Superman movie and I hated it there too. I regret paying money for that film. In the movie, I’ve heard that Superman gets treated like shit, he’s a total derp, there’s a plot line where the main villain, Krem, kidnaps young women and girls for sex trafficking or some shit. None of this is appealing to men. But of course, they’ll go with the misogyny angle because if you are a man that criticizes a female led film or a feminist film, you are a misogynist and you hate women. That gives these films an excuse to avoid any type of criticism. It happens all the time.

“Is this what happens when one hires a male director in his late 50s who likely has a certain sensibility? Maybe if the DCU had hired a younger director, or a woman, they might have made creative choices that wouldn't have been what traditional comic fans wanted, but that an untapped portion of the audience does like.”

The producers, Safran and especially Gunn, are male feminists btw. And they had complete creative control over this film. So I almost don’t care if they get attacked because that’s what happens when you align yourself with people who hate you. They throw you under the bus if shit hits the fan. The director is also most likely a male feminist and the writer was a woman, who has had no experience in writing or producing or directing a movie before Supergirl. But nobody cared because she’s female and we gotta have that “diversity” right? But of course if the female led movie goes to shit, it must be a man’s fault or men’s fault for being so misogynistic. None of this movie is creative at all. I would rather watch the CW’s version of Supergirl or the 80s version of Supergirl because at least those adaptations had an identity. The 2026 version just copied and pasted material from better films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max. The untapped portion, women, many of them wouldn’t see this movie anyway because superhero movies are more appealing to men regardless, not women. These “creative choices” are only made to spit on their audience: men.

“Even from a purely cynical business standpoint, movies targeted at women like Barbie and K-pop: Demon Hunters tend to do really well.”

These are not superhero movies. This is the type of material that appeals more to women. I don’t see anyone fucking around with things that women enjoy. If that happened, there would be an uproar probably. But if men kick up a stink, people will just say “it’s just a movie bro” or they’ll just say they’re misogynistic or something. God forbid men can actually enjoy something. And this happens everywhere. In movies, TV shows, comic books (hell, books in general), music, video games, etc. This is an ongoing trend that is only getting worse. And it doesn’t matter if these films flop. The only thing that matters is that it exists and is out there for people to potentially watch it. All that matters is that the propaganda is spread throughout the media, no matter the cost.
