  I never thought that I would have to address ‘controversy’ but here we are. A lot of people are saying that my Chainsaw Man video is ‘Incel Propaganda’ simply because I connected Chainsaw Man’s themes to the idea of a Male Loneliness Epidemic. <br><br>And after reading through a lot of comments and what’s floating around twitter, a lot of people seem to be reacting to my title of ‘Male Loneliness Epidemic’ and the opening, rather than what I actually say in the WHOLE video. <br><br>As a result, my video is now being attacked as some sort of propaganda for Incel behaviour or I think Denji is an Incel himself. <br><br>To be clear, that is not what my video is about at all. <br><br>I don’t endorse Incel behaviour. I’m describing the pattern of isolation that shows up frequently within Chainsaw Man and how relatable that can be for lonely men. <br><br>What’s frustrating to me is that most of this outrage seems to be built on assumptions about what the term ‘Male Loneliness’ usually implies online, rather than engaging with how it’s actually used in my video.<br><br>If you’re going to criticise the video, at least engage with it in full rather than reacting to the title or the opening hook alone.

  You dont want sex, you want connection. Withouth connection, experiences are hollow.

  Love(connection) and sex definitely have overlap, but fellas, never confuse the two.

  &quot;When many men go through a lot without being noticed, small interaction with women feel like a miracle&quot; yeah

  While loneliness has the potential to kill, connection has even more potential to heal.

  Honestly, I haven&apos;t really watched Chainsaw Man before, but I can relate. Ever since I was younger, I was mostly invisible to others. Practically an outcast. Had to get used to just blending into the crowd since no one bothered to actually get to know me anyway. That&apos;s why I stayed in my room, playing video games with most of my free time. I never had the opportunities to actually do normal activities, like sports, clubs, or even just hanging with guys outside of school. Eventually I kinda just came to expect nothing, so I found comfort in the online games. It felt like I actually mattered when I helped in games, like I finally had some sort of &quot;social life&quot; but looking back on it, it&apos;s just plain sad. Honestly I still am in the same room back then, doing the same things. I&apos;m 22 now, 23 in May. But I still kinda feel like that same kid, just isolated from the world. I tried to change, started following God, trying to be more &quot;outgoing&quot; around people, trying various different hobbies that I eventually just gave up on cause I realized I&apos;m not good at them. I realize how pathetic it is, and I know that life isn&apos;t going to be kind to someone like me, but I&apos;m trying to change. I sincerely hope no one else ends up as lonely as i am, even if it sounds a bit cringe. If i could have one thing? Just someone that understands me... Just someone that can SEE me, ya know? But honestly I get the feeling I won&apos;t have that, at least not anytime soon. At this point, when I see happy couples or even just a good group of friends when I&apos;m out, I don&apos;t even get jealous anymore. All it does is remind of something that I&apos;ll probably never have, and it hurts. If it does though, I hope it comes soon.<br><br>Edit: I decided to edit this a bit because some of it came off as tad too dramatic for my taste. I wrote this while emotionally charged, mainly cause of the video hitting so close to home. But I still stand by what I said.<br><br>TLDR: I can heavily relate to the video and Chainsaw Man since loneliness is a <b>***</b> and then I yapped about my own life.<br><br>Thank you to everyone who commented with encouragement and kind words. I sincerely wish you all the best and I hope God blesses each and every one of you! :)<br><br>Edit 2: Holy moly, 1k likes? I never thought I&apos;d get a comment so high in likes. I&apos;m also glad that I&apos;m not the only one that feels this way. Thank you for the encouragement &nbsp;and thank you for your kindness, all of you! I hope great things happen in all of your lives!

  This perfectly explains why Chainsaw man is my favorite manga. Fujimoto hides such deep meanings between what seems like subtle and normal things.

  I like to think Pochita is a metaphor for self actualization without the drive to listen to your heart you might as well be heartless, maybe that&apos;s why so many devils want it in the end.
