It’s been years since I’ve gone on Reddit aside from getting a thread as an answer to a search result but there was another subreddit for bald men that was way different in tone. The name escapes me but it was truly depressing and negative, lots of men that were extremely depressed, sometimes suicidal, and a ton of incel rhetoric about social death when bald
that reminds me of how there was MensLib which was genuinely about advancing a better understanding of what feminism means for men, and the ways an egalitarian society rather than a patriarchy would be better for men, and then there was MensLiberation which was a Men’s Rights Activists (manosphere) subreddit.*
*editor’s note: i may have these backwards
I think it was tressless, and I only know it bc one guy would sometimes come into other men’s subs talking about that sub and how depressed he was and how hair was the only thing that would ever make him happy. When people tried to show positivity and get him to see things in a different light he’d just ignore everything and talk about his depression.
He was way too far gone for reddit randos to help and really needed a professional but he ignored that advice as well. Then he’d delete the acct and show back up a week or so later with a new acct and the exact same talking points. It was really sad
Yeah that was the name. I knew it was some kind of weird shit
That rhetoric was huge there. I remember posting a few times and suggesting some people seek therapy for similar reasons you’ve outlined (irl therapist) and being met with tons of nasty posts. Thats where the incel rhetoric would come out to, I specifically remember one guy that was like “how could a woman understand” as if a therapist needs to have your personal experience to help, as if all therapists are women, etc
