The gigantic increase in simps, incels, and losers basically. Girls can take advantage of them to the tune of thousands of dollars a month just by posting some saucy videos and pretending to be interested in them by responding to messages or saying their name in a video.
More power to the women, honestly. It's the mens fault.
I get the downvotes, but it's not wrong. You don't even have to go to OF, i can't even watch women who stream video games, because these people are unhinged and not well. And a lot of them obviously play into it, just look at the framing of male vs female streamers. It is not an accident that there is a lot of cleavage in the frame. You can go even a step further. I used to play a lot of Team Fortress 2, usually on community servers where i knew people, and a lot of people talked. It was like 40% regulars and 60% randoms. When one of the girls spoke, you vould suddenly feel the air changing in the server. Suddenly they got all sweaty and started to fully m'lady. I once changed my steam name to something that could be interpreted as being a male or female name. I suddenly got friend requests and people gifting me items that are worth real world money. This never happened in the other 4000 hours of me playing the game.
