These are men and boys willingly poisoning themselves because they think that unless they do that they are not worthy of love.
Same exist in anorexia communities. But since black pill groups are so toxic, we often miss the fact that the people they try to influence aren't grownen like Connor but boys who are taught that self harm and self hatred is the only path forward to deserve or be capable of feeling love.

The fantasy that men and boys are not victims of sexist patriarchal power structures is to me a cruelty beyond words. The dream that they are a simple boogie-man in full control is just sexism. Again, Connor was a grown man and while that's sad he had outs. The boys he influenced do not. And those boys growing up in a society that applauds self harm when boys do it aren't helped by the Hollywood logic of a simple bad guy to beat to solve an issue.
