RE: the original comic

I think the attitude of "oh, if you're a maladjusted man, you need to go get a girlfriend" is a toxic social expectation and one of the major causes of the male loneliness epidemic.

There are a lot of sad men in the world who have very solvable emotional problems. But instead of working on self improvement (exercise, mindfulness, therapy, getting friends, starting a hobby), they go looking for a girlfriend to fix them. The girls say "this isn't the 1950s, buckaroo, I don't have to be your mummy anymore", and reject the men. Then the men become incels and go online looking for male validation. They find the manosphere, and people like Tate say "exercise, eat good, practice grindfulness, and hate women". And since some of that advice is good, the men feel better and follow the bad parts too, like hating women. Which just makes them more bitter and lonelier people.

So, uhhhh, cultist who wants a demon to kill your rival. You should go for a walk, have a nutritious meal, do something that makes you happy, think about your place in the universe, and make a new friend. You don't need a girlfriend to practice healthy living, and you certainly don't need to hate women to practice healthy living.
