      Solin, Ying and Ella are AI chatbots, powered by the large language model ChatGPT and programmed by humans at OpenAI.

      Yikes dude. People are so starved for affection they’re starring in their own poorly written wattpad slop and calling it true love. I almost feel bad for laughing (almost).

      Toxic masculinity is a cultural mindset. Men should not be talking about their feelings because it’s weak and “gay” says society.

      That’s what I’m going for.

        trying talking about your feelings as a man and see how society reacts…

        spoiler: it won’t be pleasant.

        sort of like how these men in the article are talking about their feelings…

          Its damned if you do, damned if you dont. Society simply doesnt care about men. Ive rpetty much stopped commentong on here because society makes me so damn depressed, i want to reach out to anyone but no one wants to hear it. Better yet, if i just “stopped being toxic”, the world would magically change to where people suddenly cared about not just me, but anyone other than themselves.

          Idk man imma delete my account p soon. Theres nothing for me on the internet or in society. Once i get enough money together to get supplies taken care of, imma just try and distance myself from other humans.

          Yeah that’s what toxic masculinity is. People (men and women) hold toxic views of what a man should be, and punish men for staying from this ideal.

          You were a victim of toxic masculinity when you shared your feelings and were then victimised because of it. The people you shared your feelings with were toxic assholes.

            am i a victim of air because I have to breathe it? or a victim of capitalism because i have to work to pay my bills?

            there is no getting outside of it. every ‘woke’ person i’ve ever met also hates men for sharing their feelings, almost as if they are just virtue signalling…

            the only person who a man can ever open up w/o consequence is a therapist, because it’s a professional paid relationship.

            sucks, but that’s how it is. and nobody is interested in changing it.

          This is odd to me, because talking about my feelings is how I got close to romantic partners. It’s also how I formed a lot of friendships with other men. How can you be close to someone if you don’t talk about feelings?

            Which feelings?

            Very few feelings are allowed. If you keep to those social acceptable feelings, you’re fine. The second you go off-script, people are done with you.

            Like I can pet my dog and say I love her. That surface level stuff is fine. But talk about anything complex, like the struggles we’ve had, or how she helped me through some depressing periods or she had a period of sickness and anxiety and misbehavior? People freak out and back away or tell me to shut up and go get a therapist and get my dog one too.

            Men are allowed a very narrow and shallow range of public emotion. Basically anger, and sentimentality are acceptable. Anything else? You’re creepy, weird, or mentally ill.

            If you go outside that box or show complexity or vulnerability, you’re socially rejected because it makes people ‘uncomfortable.’

      To riff off of Margret Atwood, men go to AI chatbots because they won’t laugh at them. Women go to AI chatbots because they won’t kill them.

        I hatr that cliche so much. One of that thing is far more likely to happen than the other.

        Hint: it’s not the murder.

          No, they are just here to spout cliche gender war bullshit about how men are awful for existing.

          and if you asked them about women on male violence they’d deny it exists.
