It just seems this is out of proportion. A lot of "fans" claim to stop listening to him due to this and mods even removed my post praising him. It seems miscalculated

I really don't get it at all. Reddit is notably "pro drug", yet has a problem with pixels.

This comes after I saw a post using a "video games cause school shootings" argument used on a joke about GTA VI allegedly adding homosexual people and saying it's harmful - completely ignoring the fact that a school exists in GTA V, in which you can "commit violence" there.

It seems it has escalated from body types in anime to fictional violence. Especially with the rise and support of Collective Shout, and with a callback to governors attemping to ban GTA IV, it appears the lesson of the harmful behavior censorships brings has not be learned. This is even moreso evident on the "gamingcirclejerk" and "socialistgaming" subreddit.

Why is this case? It's as if the satanic panic is coming back to life.

There's actual nothing useful. I truly think none of this matter and it's just cope

People get incredibly defensive over the word "soy," but if you strip away the immediate emotional reaction, it is actually a highly accurate descriptor. It perfectly captures a very specific, modern archetype that no other word in the English language hits quite as well.

When people use the term, they aren't just insulting someone, they are diagnosing a package of behaviors and traits. It describes a specific brand of modern, urban male who exhibits extreme passivity, a complete lack of physical or mental stoicism, a hyper reliance on consumer culture, and a tendency to adopt performative, hyper sensitive moral stances online. Words like "weak" or "sensitive" are too broad. "Soy" encapsulates that entire combination of consumerism, physical docility, and submissive social posturing all at once.

The fact that the word triggers such massive anger in mainstream spaces is proof of its efficacy. It strikes a nerve because the archetype absolutely exists, and society has spent the last decade trying to normalize it as the ideal modern man.

Now that I'm realizing it, I realize that people everywhere will always prioritizes female issues and that they will always invent gaslights for women mocking male issues, and contributie nothing to the table

These gynocentrists always say the same thing anyway with all that BS virtue signaling 😂✌️

There is a massive push in mainstream culture to get men to adopt traditionally effeminate behaviors under the guise of "self improvement" and "modernity". Whether it’s the obsession with extreme emotional vulnerability, over indexing on aesthetics and lifestyle grooming, or adopting a passive, people pleasing attitude, the trend is clear, men are being conditioned to act submissively.

This behavior is completely counterproductive. True masculine capability relies on stoicism, competence, and maintaining an unshakeable frame. The second a man buys into the mainstream narrative that he needs to act more delicate, overly emotional, or deeply deferential to others, he is voluntarily giving up his leverage in every social and professional dynamic.

The mainstream internet loves to celebrate this shift, but it is a massive trap. It produces a demographic of hyper passive men who are completely incapable of handling conflict, asserting authority, or protecting their own interests. They have been completely gaslit into believing that shedding their natural masculine traits makes them "evolved", when in reality, it just makes them easily manipulated by a system that prefers men to be compliant.
