That's because in addition to the disinformation, many men also have to do the macho thing: https://youtu.be/1chYhsp3NRw

    I forgot that suicide was super macho.

    I remember when I was growing up my parents were always saying "son you better kill yourself if you want to get married." And on wrestling night, Randy Savage used to stand up on the turnbuckles and shout "AFTER THIS, MACHO MAN IS GONNA BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT." He was a big role model for me.

    Fuck Joe Rogan. At some level I want to say “if you are really going to take advice from Joe Rogan and other idiots online, Darwin will just be checking off posthumous boxes,” but I’ve seen too many family members be trapped and warped by social media into believing garbage that I realize it’s the fault of the system. People have always profited off of needless human death, it’s way worse though when it’s a podcaster spewing garbage.
