Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I might have been a mild case of this 'MGTOW' phenomenon myself. It wasn't gaming that became my focal point, but reading a lot. In addition, I did have the occasional relationship, but was often annoyed with the superficiality of the women I managed to court — of course there were women with more brains but these were either non-attractive or socially and politically averse to the outlook I was developing —or both!— and also the vulgarity of 'going out' (visiting bars etc.)
Part of this was also my unrealistic idea that I'd meet some sort of a soul mate, who would both be incredibly hot and would share my political and philosophical views.
Tristan & Isolde
It took me easily more than a decade to recalibrate my expectations of life. I am a happier and wiser man now, but still sometimes miss those hermit days though, and at times resent the fact I now have to regularly spend time with family, in-laws, family friends etc.
I admit it would be way better, demographically, if all our young one would get into having children somewhere between their 18th and 25th.
