Have you seen the reaction these "male loneliness epidemic" guys have when a girl says they just want to be friends? Sorry, but there's no way you're trying to pass it off as "no it's not about sex guys really they just want close friends and rainbows" with a straight face.
Has it ever occurred to you that bad actors could be hijacking something to use it for their own nefarious purposes? It happens all the time.
Bad actors? Hijacking? The hell are you talking about?
Fully agree.
What loneliness epidemic?
Also fully agree.
Consider providing a source better than a random screenshot from a Tumblr post, then.
So no source? Nice try, but it's quite obvious you're trying to dodge the absolute lack of evidence for this pathetic "epidemic".
Still no source, huh? No way! It's such a totally real epidemic! I'm sure you're full of evidence
So... You know literally nothing about this topic at all and just want to lump it all together with incels, got it.
Still avoiding linking that source, huh? There are better ways to try and hide the fact you can't find a good one.

They never said it wasn't about sex. They want sex and....
Girls want sex and... too
Relationship stuff is just very hard. It's like one of the few real things in this world.
Sure...? how does that fit in with incels and male loneliness epidemic exactly?
How doesn't it? Unless male the loneliness epidemic is only an issue with gay men, but I thought it was for all men.
I said male loneliness epidemic is not about friends. Your counter is "women like sex too!" which yes... are you suggesting they should stop choosing who to have sex with and accept guys to fix this supposed epidemic? I assume not, for the sake of your own mental sanity.
In which case what's even your point? Women like sex, the sky is blue, I ate rice today at lunch...?
What I am saying is that your comment here:
Is not was not the person's argument. They said:
Which is what I was calling out in my original reply to you:
So your comment doesn't address my original reply to the comment, nor your own quotes. Congrats.
No it does, you just can't read.
