This is just for me to let you guys know about Moe’s Finale. I’ve been posting this comic on behalf of the creator on Reddit, but I hadn’t posted it here for you guys to view. I have separated each issue of the comic out in links below, so you can go issue by issue. If you are still on reddit and you like this comic, I’d recommend following the comic on the r/moesfinale subreddit.
WYM with reductive manosphere bs? I feel like it was quite overboard but in it’s essence it’s grounded in reality. It’s a bit hyperbole but that’s the theme of the comic overall.
It reinforces the idea for men not to bother getting help in the first place - you’re a man, they won’t take you seriously anyway, they will call you weak, don’t ask for help, just give up. That’s the inner logic of clinical depression and the comic supports it.
And it’s a really dangerous thing to imply because it could keep men further from the available support systems. It’s discouraging. I’m not questioning weather those things could have been said by someone, but it kinda seems like the author took some horrible TERF talking points and went “I guess it will be the same in mental health”.
Exactly this. The exaggeration helps illustrate the point, it’s not easy for men to find FREE help for these things, and a lot of those places are explicitly safe places for traumatized women, which for many women at their most vulnerable means no men.
