Yeah, dismissing these women getting AI boyfriends as just being lonely femcels strikes me as reactionary. What's the situation that produced this result in the first place? Are you sure you want to go back to that situation?

In any case, this is a really marx-doomer alienation situation.

I get the point you’re making, but anecdotally my observation is that women who get disillusioned with dating because of misogyny in men more often just end up being happy with the single life. So I wouldn’t say every woman on there is a femcel loner with a toxic personality, but I’m guessing they do make up the majority of the sub.

Femcels are also produced by situations, like literally every kind of person that has existed has been

Yeah, fair, the point is that the reasons that caused the group to exist should be examined.

I agree with that, it just seemed like we were making delineations in groups of people who were produced by situations versus those that weren't when basically any subculture can be described in terms of being produced by systems, and I think anyone can be criticized but likewise every case of groups of people being produced should be analyzed at a systemic level as well. I'm not just saying it to be a pedant, I think that it's a critical element of rehabilitative justice that most people on a board like this hopefully find pretty uncontroversial.
