>>55784219No anon, it's not just straight men being targeted. They attack everyone for "wrongthink" because of "problematic content". That includes women and gays too. I could name a couple examples if you'd like.
The internet is toxic for everyone who likes things in fiction that would be taboo in real life. These people have severe anger and other mental health issues, and their current targets are those who have a healthy relationship with fictional content, who can actually distinct fiction from reality. But the people who harass artists are people who were online way too much, probably spent their formative years on tumblr where mental health issues were straight up romanticised to the point where they started believing that kinning (thinking that a fictional character is "literally you" to the point you LARP as them 24/7) was normal. Well, whatever happened to them, they accepted this new mob mentality as their religion. They would never admit to that because most them think religions are evil and bad, but it's exactly what it is: a set of beliefs they strictly have to follow while condemning everyone who goes against those beliefs. And it gives them a sense of belonging with like-minded people. It's a modern from of cult.
So no, it's not an internet crusade against straight men, they just happen to usually belong to the group these nutjobs oppose. They want to censor art and creative freedom to fit their deranged world view. We are regressing back to people wanting to burn books and art like the Nazis did in the Third Reich.
But there is a glimmer of hope. This whole ESG and DEI fiasco causes people to wake up. They realize that this censorship craze is going too far. Just look at that recent Capcom Twitter post about "localisation".
It'll take a while, but I think we can get out of this situation eventually. Just don't bow down to those mentally ill mobs. Tell them to take their meds and keep enjoying fictional content that safely explores human desires
