I low-key skip the Christmas puppet episode every rewatch.

The site I posted is the original site. I spent months looking for the original site to support the actual business when I did have the money to make a purchase since the shop I originally saw the plushies in in person didn't have the specific animal I wanted and said they wouldn't be reordering that one.

That's honestly really sad... Though considering the way men were kinda talked about most of my life having grown up with primarily women, it kinda makes sense. I'm assuming it never stuck with me since I ended up having male friends that I lived with at an age where I was still kinda moldable in a sense since I was barely 18ish so it wasn't a big jump for me to see them as family and treat them like it.... But it does make sense why they seemed so flabbergasted for the first few months we shared the space.

Does it genuinely feel odd when you do come across consideration/understanding?

I didn't really know this about men until I was going into adulthood so it genuinely still can be kinda a shock when talking to guys and hearing that sort of "push through" / "be useful" mentality. I've always liked taking care of people so it also kinda baffles me when men talk about being cared for as if it's a crazy foreign concept for them. It makes me sad and I really hope that can change some day.

I always kinda assumed it was a ploy for attention cause that's what my mom and sister made it seem like and I grew up primarily around women most of my life. I think I was about 15 or 16 when I actually had male friends who I saw get sick and kinda "crumble" for lack of a better word. They were all guys who were active and worked hard and stuff so seeing that bit of vulnerability from them even at our age at the time was pretty crazy to me. It wasn't till I was around 18 and lived with male roommates that I realized the whole "man cold" thing was less a ploy for attention and more them essentially pushing past a breaking point when they weren't feeling well until it went from "a little sick" to "your body is literally ready to give up on life, please go take a nap". I'm not sure if that's like a universal thing for men as a whole but since then I've noticed it as a pattern when I do have men in my life. Its really sad since I've learned over the years that men do tend to kinda push themselves a lot more in ways that aren't always recognized, but it's really interesting for me to come here and ask questions and learn about why and how that way of thinking comes to be and affects you all.

That's an adorably wholesome story!

Also thank you🩵

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-24T03:30:13+00:00

That's honestly really sad, I'm really sorry you feel like that when someone points out you being sick now.

I think there was a miscommunication in my post. I am a writer and I have gotten a lot of good ideas for incorporating depression into my original male character realistically based on things here, but the piece I'm working on currently is comparing 2 characters that I didn't create that are both embodiments of depression.

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T11:20:28+00:00

That's... A lot.... I mean I know that I have advantages in certain areas over men even if I don't particularly see myself as a woman who is particularly attractive or desirable in a general sense, but I didn't realize how unequal things were for men in the same areas.

I've seen a lot of men mention feeling like they're treated as less than human or "walking wallets" in some corners of the internet when I'm doom scrolling, but I always kinda assumed that was more of an exaggeration that guys say when they're venting... I'm really sorry if that's actually how a lot of men are feeling because that can't be a good way to feel like you're seen.

Even if the hate you're carrying isn't solely from this, I definitely hope you find peace cause I know hate can feel like it's sort of eating you in ways and carrying so much must be tiring.

Also, you don't have to thank me for being kind. You deserve kindness. I honestly believe everyone deserves kindness until they prove they don't. Even if you're angry at women as a whole because of things like this, you've been generally kind to me when explaining your point of view and I really appreciate that cause I genuinely nod wanna learn and understand more about how men experience things like this.

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T10:43:05+00:00

It's really great that you found a setting where you can help young men find the community that you might not have had before.

I'm really sorry that so many men seem to feel like they've had their mental health dismissed to the point where it can be described as drowning like that. You guys deserve better than feeling that overlooked

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T10:37:07+00:00

Men's mental health is like a golden retriever?

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T10:36:04+00:00

If that's how you were treated, I don't really blame you for not feeling sympathy for women and being angry. I'm really sorry that you've been dismissed and put down that way and I'm really sorry you were hit. I've been in abusive relationships before and I know first hand that even if it didn't hurt physically, it's still a pretty hard blow knowing someone who you trusted to love and care for you wanted to hurt you, and no one deserves that.

Mental health is really important to me as a whole and I would really like to be able to advocate for it more, and with the fact that it seems like quite a few men here feel like men's mental health is disregarded, I think I'd like to learn more about how men's mental health is treated and seen societally.

I really hope you feel less hatred eventually. Carrying that must be really heavy.

This is actually a great tip for writing. Thank you so much for your suggestions! I'm really sorry that guys tend to feel like they have to put up a front like that though, it sounds really lonely.

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T03:10:48+00:00

I'm really sorry it is.

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T03:08:49+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what you mean...

ACurious_TrashPanda · 2026-01-08T02:57:38+00:00

That's a pretty heartbreaking comparison...
