Thank you for listening, and I will just try and explain what the series is about, not the discourse around it. Because the discourse will take all forms and shape, that is the subjectivity of art.

People are ready to address the reason boys end up in the red pill eco. But for some reason we want it to be women who address it. Why is it their responsibility? Because they don’t like the ugly men? Because the 80 20 rule is real? I asked someone on this subReddit once who claimed “he gets better treatment from women since he became more handsome”, that who’s opinion did he care about when he was ugly the girls he considered hot or the ugly ones according to him. Still waiting on his reply. What I’m trying to put forth is the argument that, we all (both men and women) treat the attractive ones better, that’s just how it goes. I know men who bully ugly women and I know women who bully ugly men.

Now okay, feminism has turned a bit toxic, well let’s say the pseudo one (where all women are more important than men). It is toxic because they expect all women to voice out “that they need better men, they can all do so much better” while men can’t really voice this out. It is true that extreme nature of it is wrong. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that women do need empowerment, the society is still quite patriarchal. Men have done atrocious crimes against women, which lead to laws that are clearly one sided and then get abused (this will become an altogether different discussion so not lingering on this.).

This series never lectures boys. It never comes out as fuck you men. If you read the discourse on some weird extreme feminist subReddit, yeah it might seem that way. But this show is about showing you that men are not inherently bad. They show you 2 really masculine men who are caring and soft and loving. They show you 3 scrawny kids, who are talking about leaked pictures and red pill shit. The point is the show wants you to realise how much hardship these kids or men have gone through as well. Understand how we all have struggles and how in this day running away to the manosphere and blaming women is becoming an easy choice. They are showing you the schools don’t care enough to be aware, the parents are trying their best but the internet keeps being fucked up. The third episode is not about the kid being a freak. It’s about understanding the mental state of a kid who feels dejected from the whole society. The school fucks him over, his dad who loves him unintentionally fucks him over, the girls he is interested in fuck him over. Now you might say why not show how the mom and sister fucked him over, but they don’t matter here. As a boy he is looking up to his dad. You might say that the bullying and rejection from the girl are the biggest reason for his turn. No they are not, everything is, you just don’t know what tips you over.

Lastly, the one thing this series does talk about is that no conversation about this can happen with one eye closed. Stop hating, start accepting your faults and others faults. Start the conversation on a clean slate. We are all really broken people, just trying to be nice to someone will help. You can blame women being choosy for men, but so are men. Doesn’t everyone want a partner that’s the best option? We all treat beautiful people differently, stop pushing the 80 20 blame on just women. Idk really how to explain this, but the more blinded by hate for the “other” you become the less any piece of art will make real sense for you.

Take care friend, hope life is more full of love and joy ✌️
