Wow, not a single ounce of pity in what you wrote.

These people are being manipulated because of their loneliness and you’re OK with reducing the situation to: “stupid sex starved simp got what they deserve”.

while I do not think their comment was helpful, I don't disagree with it.

So, because someone is manipulated with sex means they aren’t worth pity?

Wanting sex or being lonely isn’t wrong, it’s a human need.

I don’t even think it’s about sex.

E-girls are visually stimulating to the point of uncontrollable ejaculation.

These men can’t possibly think they have a shot at having sex or even a genuine conversation with these carefully engineered influencers. They are like moths drawn to a flame. They worship these girls and fantasize about them and show their devotion by doing stupid irrational shit. Simp activities.

Pity is one of the most degrading feelings a person can have. It dehumanizes people by removing their agency. Sympathy, empathy, never pity.

I don't think it's loneliness. It's like the trope of the rich guy that is addicted to hookers. I think for a lot of these men it's just an addiction, and for many others it's probably the cause and not the result of their loneliness. I'm sure there are some that are in a pit of dispair and loneliness just grasping at anything, but those people can't be helped, they can only help themselves, but they won't.

Plenty of men have gone off to war to impress a girl. It's probably the number two reason men go off to war, number one being conscription.

It's just that now, we have a sick society where most men don't have some girl in their town they'd go to war to impress. Their dream girl isn't in their math class, she's on twitch and she's made of plastic and digital filters.

Men have always been very exploitable. It is up to individual men to not let themselves be exploited. Men these days do a lot to warn other men about the dangers of being influenced by women. Whenever a man acknowledges the beauty of a woman, it imbues her with a bit more power and influence, and with social media this can scale to truly stupendous levels.

As men we need to stop this. If every man simply decided tomorrow no woman’s beauty warranted us doing anything that we didn’t already want to do, women would become powerless and we would once again take control as the masters of this world.

I don’t think this comment will be very popular, but I’m not here to say popular things, I’m here to speak truth.

> It's just that now, we have a sick society where most men don't have some girl in their town they'd go to war to impress.

What's sick about that? Feelings are temporary, death is permanent. Your definition of a "not sick" society is a sick one by my book

People are more lonely and sexually frustrated than the past several generations, this is sexual liberation in name only. Consumerist materialism is candy not sustenance, people are venerating self destruction. We are supposed to love each other, not idolize dolls on a screen. If you can't see how that's sick then I can't help you.

I mean, yeah, but you're sort of just taking one mental image and assuming that's the rule and not the exception
