  • Well then this is a poor choice of meme template, which is probably why this post is turning out to be so divisive. This meme format is used to mock a series of increasingly ridiculous statements/beliefs/actions. Here, the final and therefore most ridiculous statement is simply “there is a male loneliness epidemic”. If the intention was not to mock this statement, and supposed to mock people who blame the epidemic for their problems, there are many ways it could have been worded to be clear about that, but currently it reads to me (and clearly many people) as direct mockery of male loneliness.




  • The problem is the format of the meme implies that the last panel is invalid, and that the conclusion “there is a male loneliness epidemic” is something only women hating clowns believe.

    I guarantee if the last panel was stated like “why won’t women date me” or “I’m lonely” or even “I’m only single because of the male loneliness epidemic” then there wouldn’t be nearly as much backlash in the comments







  • Games on Steam are not usually recurring purchases, one person won’t buy the same product over and over like they need to for food. This means the market of people willing to pay the full price gets saturated over time.

    Sales are a way to increase the market size by lowering the “barrier to entry” (price). Sometimes a price will be permanently lowered, however usually not because a temporary sale encourages people to buy now instead of later.
