What kind of person needs youtubers to validate them?

The kind of person who has a whole fuck ton of mainstream media de-validating them? The kind that grew up with the message that the morally superior people are feminists and is aware of what a depressing amount of feminism thinks about him?

Hell, I don't need youtubers, I'll take just about anyone. I feel I have a lot of people external to me telling me "You're wrong, You're violent, You're bigoted and evil and we need to stop people like you" and yeah, when you have that, it sure is nice to have a voice, any voice - and for some reason those voices all seem to be located on youtube - telling you "No. you're good"

WHO tells you that? DO you spend a lot of time reading feminist blogs or something?

Otherwise, things must be pretty different in the UK, because I grew up hearing quite a mixed bag of opinions concerning feminism. Some older women I knew liked it. My mom thought an extreme version of a feminist was a woman who yelled at men for holding doors open. My dad complained about feminists a lot. I knew kids with varying opinions on it. Though it really didn't come up that often - those are just the times it did.

I spend a lot of time in entertainment media. I'm a gamer for a start, first of all. You read anything about games that wasn't the escapist recently?

I spend a lot of time talking about media all over the shop.

I don't read about games at all, really. Not even sure what "the escapist" is. Comes with having a life outside my computer, I guess.

This is why I think maybe you should try going outside more.

That's fair enough. I do. I talk to people about media I enjoy, I don't spend all my time on 4chan. I hear a lot of shit I wish I didn't have to remember. It's an unbelievable comfort to hear the opposite.

Are you the same person I'm arguing with up there, btw?

If you "wish you didn't have to remember" stuff you read on the internet and hearing the opposite gives you "unbelievable comfort" then you are either WAY to invested in the opinions of random internet people, or you have issues and should get some therapy.

Anyone who considers a job an unwanted distraction from living online needs therapy and sunlight.

I think a lot of your problems seem to stem from you having formed the opinion that feminists think male sexuality is oppressive without actually bothering to read about the ideas behind it, think critically and decide for yourself. Instead, because your first incorrect assumption triggers your anxiety, you associate feminist opinions with 'me feel bad', think that's unfair, and therefore spend your time complaining arguing about feminism on the internet and how it's bad because it's 'shaming' men. In this scenario you're the only person who is making yourself feel ashamed because you think you 'should' for some reason.

This is a you thing, not a feminist thing. Get yourself a therapist. Get some self esteem. Read some gender politics theory from a perspective where you aren't making everything about you. Realise that you can respect women and also enjoy porn. Realise you can enjoy video games/ other media and also recognise when they are catering to heterosexual men. Realise that 'feminism' is a broad church, with many strands of theory written at different times by different people for different ends. It isn't a prescriptive whole where if you subscribe to obe idea you subscrive to all of them. It intersects with other social theories in different ways. Above all, it does not exist solely to cater to your need to self flagellate.

Also, I don't know what's going on with your relationship but if you feel this strongly (and this incoherently) about feminist ideas I can't imagine what kind of weird convos you and your girlfriend are having. Do you respect her ideas? Does she respect your fragile mental state? What on earth is going on.

Get ye to some therapy Wako. Maybbe couples counselling too.

Yeah, I agree. Therapy would be better for him than youtube rants and his apparently somewhat abusive girlfriend.
