Why are young white men so emotionally brittle now?

This is a legitimate question. Gen X, Boomers, Greatest Generation,The Lost Generation etc... and on back, we didn't flip out like you guys do. Record teen suicide rates, school shootings etc... generally speaking, you guys are brittle. I can't think of a single school shooting happening during my time in school. That's 13 years. And of the ones that I could find, nearly all were adults firing on the kids. I am not calling any individuals out. You guys may be the exceptions, but shit... what's going on here?

Probably overprotective parents. Raised weak/sensitive men that were taught its wrong to be a man, no real hardships etc.

Video games, the internet, porn, anime, social media all definitely play a part too tbh

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
things are safer and easier

Idc what anyone says. It may be a pretty misogynistic place sometimes but I’m really glad I got into weightlifting early on and interacted on bodybuilding forums etc. The environment in gyms with older masculine men who I looked up to and helped mentor me + stories from seasoned men of all types has really helped form me into a capable young man. I’m young as fuck but still find in most situations I easily stay calm and take control where most people panic, I can handle much more physical/emotional punishment, and I’m overall tougher mentally than most my age.

I’d imagine it’s a product of a changing society, technology, etc. in general. I struggle to see how you’ve exclusively attributed this to young, white males but with your specific examples, I suppose you’re somewhat correct.

male, he/him

I think people are aggressively chasing this social utopia, and traditional male attributes like strength, assertiveness, and independence are seen as contrarian to those ideals. This also contributes to the depression epidemic, because most people without emotional strength feel worthless, weak, and powerless to control their own lives.

So, we need a world with an outlet for masculinity?

I don't say this with any sarcasm or rancor. Do we, as society, need a way to determine men? A rite of passage?

It`s because overall difficulty of things is higher now. Harder to find job, harder to buy stuff, harder to build relationships, overall harder to keep up with others. And it`s not only affects young people, it affects older people as well, but they already have experience to deal with most stuff and they are more prepared to new stuff coming. For example, before people had to learn just some basic stuff in schools, now they have to know that mitochondria is powerhouse of the cell.

You would think that apocalypse would start from some sort of disease or meteor falling on Earth, but it might just happen from people killing eachothers/themselves.

Right leaning, young white men, at least in my experience, are some of the biggest professional victims in society today, constantly accusing just about any civil rights movement of oppression because they aren't center stage for once.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Sounds like men need a war to die in.

That's always a good testosterone sink, and the people that come back ways come back fine and ready for the world.

Spoiler
I'm being overwhelmingly sarcastic btw
