Stages of a moral panic:
- An event, condition, person, group etc. is perceived as a threat to safety, values and interests.
Incels, unwanted attention from unattractive men, misogyny, social media, the "manosphere", smartphones in schools.
- The nature of the threat is amplified by the media (you are here).
Adolescence, news articles, voxpops.
- Social anxiety and concern spreads amongst the public who demand something be done about it (you are transitioning to here)
Campaign groups, activism, lobbying.
- Leaders respond to the social anxiety and concern by suggesting and implementing disproportinate solutions via new policies and laws.
New Online Safety Act, anti-misogyny law, censorship, removal of threat from society.
- The condition disappears, submerges or deteriorates and becomes more visible.
The government and Media:"Young single men who aren't the 5% most attractive are a dangerous threat to society and we need action to reduce this threat!"
Same people: "why are no men joining the military and women are complaining that they can't get partners?"
I would say it's intended, but I know how dumb and tunnel visioned they are that I can believe they lack the introspection to evaluate the consequences of their actions.
And also: "let's continue to mass import a bunch of 3rd world savages that treat women like property, but we'll only punish natives that complain about the increase in rape and violence"
If you made a Venn diagram comparing women who complain they can’t safely exercise at night and who want to import the third world, it would look like a circle ⭕️
They own multiple copies of the 50 Shades books as well
You're thinking to much. It is more around power.
Can this be used to victimize themselves?
Can this be used to to gain more privilege towards women?
And what better way to do attain more power than to make the aforementioned groups of men an outgroup that the Government will use as an excuse to give themselves more powers "to protect the safety of women and girls".
It will be a global Patriot act on steroids without a terrorist attack. They're using a tv series as proof.
It is impressive .Evil but impressive.
I just hope this pushes the 95% into organizing and burning that gay island to the waterline.
You can't predict consequences when you don't believe they exist.
"Nothing is ever my fault and I dindu nuffin" is their mantra because assuming responsibility doesn't Feel Good.
