Controversial love advice.
In the age of the internet, it takes a mere moment for content to go viral, for better or for worse. Such was the case for Ben (@shadesofgame), who recently became the target of the Twitterverse's disdain.
Touting his "expertise" in dating, Ben proudly shared his mantra of exclusively dating women under 24, citing "too much mileage and baggage" in older women. The audacity and blatant ageism of this proclamation garnered nearly 14 million views, and not in a celebratory manner.
This sentiment isn't new. High-profile individuals like Leonardo DiCaprio have faced scrutiny for their dating patterns, but there's a stark difference between private choices and publicly spewing ageist and misogynistic rhetoric. While personal dating preferences are everyone’s prerogative, painting a whole demographic with a broad brush is problematic.
What Ben failed to anticipate was the internet's unyielding dedication to calling out problematic behavior. Other users were quick to identify and challenge the toxic masculinity underlying Ben’s braggadocio. While he claimed to "understand the game", it seemed he was unaware of the new rules: respect, empathy, and understanding.
Put on you're seatbelts because we are about to take you on an entertaining ride. In addition, we'll be taking a look at what Netizens had to say.
Netizens found his Tweet appalling:
In the aftermath of Ben's controversial tweet, the online community rallied against his ageist and misogynistic viewpoint, calling out the glaring flaws in his stance. However, Ben continued to defend his lifestyle choices, seemingly missing the larger societal message being conveyed.
Perhaps the silver lining in this viral debacle is the collective decision of the online community to challenge and reject such outdated and harmful perspectives.
