Ian Danskin makes videos about adventure games, feminism, alt-right politics, and most recently mental health.

After a mental health breakdown related to his work, he's published this after a year. It's some observations on burnout, mental health hygiene, saying "no" to loved ones, knowing yourself and the basic forms of existing you might not realize you're allowed to have, how we picture recovery, and finally a message to himself about why not to give up.

If you don't have it in you to watch for all of them or don't have an interest in most of it, the observations on mental hygiene start at 5:00 and are pretty relatable to a male perspective and why we find ourselves struggling with it.

If you do decide you want to see more, "How to radicalize a normy" and its accompanying research talk are all-time great hits for youtube and are responsible for pulling my little brother out of the alt right pipeline at a time when I chose to be hands-off about his beliefs.

"Games, feminism, and alt-right politics" posted in a Men's community is certainly a vibe and a half... Way to give me 'nam flashbacks to the 2010s lol.

I assure everyone that's unfamiliar: he's not a shithead.

I'm sorry 🤣 that was partly intentional. Thank you for warning people. The "How to radicalize a normy" videos are actually about that shit show and what was going on there

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.

Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people

Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.


Be productive

Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith

Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.


No bigotry

Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.


No brigading

Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.
