Why do people gaslight and throw out accusations just because they don’t agree with you?

[Anonymous]

Like every time I say I think obesity and anorexia are health crises and should not be praised or embraced…I get called an asshole

If I say that I won’t date a trans woman…I get called an incel…

What’s the deal? Can’t they just agree to disagree, or at least give constructive criticism?

it's very simple and I've faced this plenty of times myself on GAG and other sites

it's because you're a man... plain and simple

you ain't allowed to have an opinion if it's not the "right" opinion

you ain't allowed to have preferences unless it's the "right" preferences

you ain't allowed to express emotions unless it's the "right" emotions

you ain't even allowed to call out double standards and hypocrisy

I'll further add some more to your list

if you won't marry a hoe... you get called insecure

if you date an 18 year old... you get called a creep and a predator

if you get rejected within 2 seconds... the say it's because your personality sucks

if you bring up irrefutable evidence... they just dismiss it or call you delusional

if you don't live up to what society dictates your life to be... you ain't a "real man"

well, you get the point... gaslighting is something they have attack men with because they know they can't compete physically so they try psychologically

Any time you post on something controversial, expect to get Blow Back. (Not sure about what you mean by 'gaslight")

ANYBODY KNOWS INTUITIVELY, THAT OBESITY, AND ANOREXIA ARE DEADLY.

We know by looking around that overweight and obesity are becoming "normalized' by the media everywhere you look... Look at commercial for diabetes medication. The participants in those commercials are VERY heavy and in many cases OBESE!!! That is why they are obese in the first place.

My masseuse and I discussed the issue and she said the same. It is becoming the NORM.

Point being: Don't get bent out of shape with the blow back you get... on bullshit issues like that and "dating Trans people" . Hell I would not either... and I say so!

Fuck 'em if they don't like it! Stay the course!

Why the fuck are you gatekeeping, and bitching about others having a differing opinion?

You're kicked to the kerb for being a judgmental asshole, you do not give constructive criticism to assholes.

You don't seem to have learned that you don't need to say the shit you do. Nobody is lamenting not being obese or anorexic - they know people are struggling with it. But there are people who are obese or anorexic, but living their best life.

Likewise, someone being trans is their problem. You don't need to tell others your opinion on their problem.

@jshm2 because there are a lot of people who are obese or anorexic and have the ability to not be those things and choose inaction, yet whine about discrimination when they have the power to change their reality

Yes. They think "their truth" is an arbitrary concept, thanks to government schools.

They are low iq and can't handle having a conversation
