    Gen-Z are fine they’re just out there with no idea, trying shit. Like every generation has to in order to find themselves.

    Eh. I’m a millennial and we didn’t do something like make the manosphere a viable political movement. We just dressed weird and did our hair weird for a while and it was pretty cringey, but not politically dangerous.

      But being like every other generation and turning on young people to attack and blame them would be doing something. The wrong something.

      I don’t think teens wanting to have sex or wanting a way to get it (eg. What the manosphere promised) is new or surprising. I don’t think they can blamed for that. I think it was political propaganda… And many of the providers of the content were millennials. From Roosh-V, to Neil Strausss (author of ‘The Game’) to Andrew Tate. So we didn’t do anything other than create it.

      …I just don’t want to see millennials become another fuddy duddy generation blaming the young so easily. If you’re against the manosphere, you should be for showing empathy and understanding. The things the manosphere hates.
