Anon plays vidya with the bros

bro is having a rough time, and all his 'friends' abandon him and him his problems are wrong . . .
First greentext that's actually believable
- Saddest greentext I ever saw, real and straight
- Men don't talk about shit.
  Source - am man
  
  Oh they talk shit. Maybe you just dont hear it because its about you.
  
  But male loneliness is totes the fault of dem wimmenz
- Time and place for everything.
  
  You usually don't choose when you have a mental breakdown. The big thing here is that he crashed out and not a single one of his friends cared about his wellbeing enough to try and help. Just got told to go to a doctor.

Fake: anon has friends
Gay: anon has drunk conversations about dicks
- Anon imagines a group conversation of men all discussing dicks.
- I'm guessing those drunk conversations about dicks are to himself in the mirror, since he has no friends to talk to for that matter.

I hope he manages to find help. For his sake and that of his family. His bros do not sound particularly supportive
- I dunno, I think it's asking a lot of drunk guys playing videogames to suddenly snap in to support mode on the spot like that. Even sober if someone just snapped and started ranting about something that personal with no context and nobody knew before I can't say that I'd be able to respond in a perfectly supportive manner.
  At least in this totally real situation they had one friend (OOP) that was able to give some slight form of acknowledgement, even if it wasn't particularly emotionally comforting.
  
  I dunno my friends are pretty solid with emotional support when drunk or sober its not that complicated
  
  Well, it's better than nothing. I'm glad to hear there's more people with compassion and empathy
  
  It is such a clear sign of differences in socialization, because you will never find a more supportive group than a bunch of drunk female friends (in my experience). Really sad to see the lack of men supporting men, but hopefully it's getting better as the years go on.

Recently had a talk with hospital employee friend about ED and how it's exceptionally preventable and 9 times out of 10 caused by sedentary lifestyle resulting in poor circulation. Pass it on to bro, I guess.
- Doesnt diet affect it too with cholesterol or something?

What the fuck has that poor VietCong got anything to do with this?
- they became Venture Capitalists
  
  No they are inside the Videogame Console
- anon leaves the VietCong
  Makes sense

Average gamer moment

It's so rare for guys to open up like this. Usually you'll get some little comment about not being OK but if you try to address it directly or even just țry commiserating they'll get uncomfortable and back out of it with some thought terminating cliché like "it is what it is."
Someone actually having a breakdown and opening up about their problems would be so much easier.

  Unless they're hammered, which was the case here

Poor bro :(

It's funny because if this was about a woman it would be a Lifetime movie, but toxic males deserve only scorn.
- Punching up is fine. Men run the world, and women are mistreated, often considered property (or we should "get back" to that time), so yeah, leave women out of this. We shouldn't punch down.
  Edit: cool. In a post where we could have otherwise discussed healthcare of men in society, the above poster is the one who brought up women getting special treatment, but I'm the one who is the problem.
  Okay
  
  They're not punching at women, they're trying to point out a problem in western society: men with problems like these tend to struggle to find help compared to women.
  Punching at a mentally unstable guy who's struggling with his health and personal life is not punching up either.
  That's just being an asshole.
  
  Shittiness is not gendered. You can be a shitty man and you can be a shitty woman but the only person of any persuasion being shit here is you.
  
  Punching up is not fine. Its a cope phrase people use to glaze over their shitty behaviour.
  "Up" is so vague it can be anything.n
  
  Up is subjective and arbitrary. It implies that there is a strict and clear hierarchy to oppression, discrimination, and marginalization and ignores intersectionality. If a black woman is shitty to a disabled white woman, is she punching up or down? How do you weigh the different traits that lead to marginalization? Who's above who? How does this change as conditions change (for example racism in China vs racism in America). And in the end, what goal is it helping you achieve? Is it an effect strategy to achieve that goal? In the end, there is a more complex situation at play here that can't be boiled down to "you're above me so it is okay for me to be shitty to you."
  
  Nah, it's more the whole "punching up is fine" thing.
  Above this is plenty of discussion about how his friends did him dirty, and trying to piece how this coulda gone better, a better response to the dude immediately going "BuT IF A wOmaN!!" Would have been "so why don't you make changes instead of going to the blame well?" Instead of "punching up is fine"

:(
