The act of people calling out toxicity is the guidance. It is corrective action. It's disciplining a child.

Your orgional comment reads

Toxic man: doing something toxic

The left: Don't do that is toxic.

Toxic man: what should I do instead?

The left: ???? WTF ????

Toxic man: oh guess I am just gunna keep doing what I am doing if you aren't going to tell me what to do.

The answer is literally stop doing that thing. Obviously people need role models, young people are going to make mistakes, and when they make mistakes they need to be corrected. It is on the person to change their behavior. It isn't a failure of "the left" from preventing this behavior, it's a failure of those acting poorly to correct their behavior after being called out for it.

I just don't understand how someone can write a comment implying it's "the lefts" fault for not elevating people out of the absolute shit hole wasteland of ethics and behavior the GOP and right wing personalities have created. Like damn maybe you right, people like Andrew Tate are really a failing by left wing ideology to prevent them from spouting toxic nonsense.

Edit: Changed him back to them in last paragraph

I don't understand this comment. Why do you need to ask "The Left" what to do instead of not being misogynistic or promoting toxic masculinity?

Implies it's someone elses responsibility to provide you with alternatives to being a POS rather then just doing anything else.

So the neighborhood doesn't look like a getto full of people too poor to keep their boats in the marina like decent fokes.

I had no idea it didn't turn everyone invisible! The intention/desire makes so much sense. I always though Sauron's flesh was invisible but it didn't hid the armor. Thanks for the explanation.

I see it more as like a deviation from the mental picture of someone you have/hanging onto in your head. Not saying its healthy but like the guy hadn't moved on yet and is still hanging on to the memories of them together, being faithful, and dedicated to one another. Learning about multiple new partners further solidifies that their time is over and the real person isn't the same as the person you knew them as. Coming to terms with that can be stressful. I personally think you can feel this way without actually believing you "own" the person.
