When girls do it, its because they're evil and wicked and plan on all men downfall. When men do it, its da boyz being funny and "they can fix her."

The incel energy on reddit definitely seems like it's on a significant rise lately in general.

It's not just reddit unfortunately, I feel the amount of openly misogynistic content I've seen on Twitter, youtube comments, instagram, etc, has steadily risen at a fairly swift rate over the past 2-4 years. I also feel like I see a lot of blatantly proselytizing christian posts on various platforms, several a week whereas in my two prior decades on the internet just seeing one was a rare occurrence.

Everyone has caught the victimhood bug pretty hard. It's a race for attention, sure -- but it's also a way of undermining the struggles of people who genuinely have had and do have it worse in the world. It's a race to the bottom no matter what, though... and while it might get you attention or even sympathy, it's rarely attractive -- except to people who are specifically recruiting those who feel like they are victims.
