I believe a lot of it comes from engagement-grinders constantly pushing rage-bait for clout and clicks. Gender war and revenge sells more than that hippie shit.

Oh I for sure think that rage-bait content farmers normalizing bullshit like this certainly accelerates the issues. Some of them I don't even think realize how much they're contributing to the downfall of society, like when Sneako was stunned when one of his younger (like 12/13 ish years old) fan said something like "Fuck women!" At a meet up. He was like "N-no. We love women!"

Of course, fuck him because it didn't prompt him to change his content/he defended the kid, so he's a piece of shit.

But I do wonder if any of them care/realize the psychological damage that is being done to their young fans. They're normalizing some EXTREMELY harmful thoughts.

Also, yes, I'm very pro-hippie "EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY" shit 😂
