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.

Kacarott@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()English2·11 days agoNo,
len
is a constant time operation, at least in most cases I believe.
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
It also is more than a male loneliness problem. There has been a fundamental shift in society in the last decade or so, as we get more connected online we seem to be becoming less connected offline.
So the meme is making fun of “empathy is a weakness” and here you are unironically repeating it.
What about naked-snails?
This has started happening to me worryingly often in German, I fear soon I will speak 2 languages quite well, but none fluently.
