Seems like this subreddit has recently appeared criticising a lot of the toxic misogyny that is apparent among GenZ boys/men.
Shit like this thread gives a good example of the mindsets young women are dealing with among these guys: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouZoomer/comments/1gv5pdl/date_with_a_typical_podcast_bro_brainrotted/
Maybe this isn't the space that will properly counter it, some of it is deeply reactionary, but there seems to be an energy and interest building in countering it now. Enough people seem to view it as a problem.
Frank absolutely nailed it, some really solid and well-stated analysis.
This is also a really good example of the concerns we have with dunk content here on the site. Like you said, ragebait and dehumanizing discourse but here wrapped in vague leftism and a ton of irony poisoning.
I did say somewhere else that the comments there feel different from here, even when at the core it's engaging in "dunking" either way, reddit feels meaner and it just brings you down, here it's different.
It's a vibes-based analysis, anyway, and maybe it's because I know most of the people here, so I feel safer knowing where I stand.
I think a good way of describing the vibe shift in terms of toxicity, meanness, and misanthropy is that Reddit is a 10/10 on the scale of Bad Vibes, but we've got things at about a 6/10 over here.
It's gonna feel bad for everyone immersed in dunking here to look at everything cranked all the way up in comparison, but a frog looking in from outside our 6/10 boiling pot is still gonna see our site culture as toxic, mean, and misanthropic.
