The Male Depression Industry
On the lucrative demand for woman-hating content
A post of mine went viral on New Years Eve that had nearly 4M views.
It seemed like a basic observation to me, but it generated nuclear outrage.
Apparently, if you think women are hotter now than they were in the past, you watch a lot of porn. This is news to me!
But the crazy reactions don’t stop there. The average reaction in the replies sounds something like: “Well, at least women in the 20’s weren’t obese OnlyFans girls with tattoos who get gangbanged by black men, like they are now.”
😳
That sounds extreme to me. While it’s fair to criticize the cultural changes since the 1920s, this claim bears no resemblance to reality. Thanks to advancements in the self-care industry and a bit of pressure from Instagram, women are hotter now than they’ve ever been. The girls posting hole on OnlyFans are a small minority. The average girl is not a rampant slut. If anything, she’s more likely to be romantically and sexually starved.
The MeToo movement and the COVID lockdowns left many men feeling confused and defeated. These two events radically changed the dating market, which led them to content that complains about these cultural shifts. But what’s discussed only compounds their demoralization. If they learn about women from the Whatever podcast, Fresh & Fit, or Andrew Tate — they may actually believe these extreme takes. Sprinkle in some porn addiction and these young men are now the perfect customers for the Male Depression Industry.
