    It’s a meme targeting the incel belief system, thus the clown makeup

        Is the lonely man painting his clown life in each step? No. He is just lonely as he hasn’t done the first 3 steps

            It is how he got there, that is the premise of the clown painting meme

              Exactly my point, the meme insinuates that the only way men become lonely is that they hate women, which is not true and is a harmful generalisation.

                I don’t see it that way, to me it is showing how a certain type of man becomes lonely. The other type would be 1. small social circle (real or interwebs) 2. Lonely. And no face painting, because he’s not a clown, he just hasn’t met a match

      Except it makes the link with loneliness, which has nothing to do with incels. By doing so, this kind of post litteraly says that alllonely men are like the worst incels.

      It is insulting. And it is directly feeding the narrative of the fascists that says that feminists are mere anti-men instead of pro-equality.

      This même is a blend of arrogance, ignorance, disdain and malice. Even the fascist are rarely doing so bad.

          Yes, by being a progression meme it implies that the final statement “there is a male loneliness epidemic” is something only arrived at by incels

            Its a logic flow diagram, the first three are flawed logic , so the fourth is the wrong as the reasoning. But maybe I have been doing too many conditional and boolean statements in my software
