We know why he is doing this... He don't give a fuck...

But why are the women doing this? This kinda confirms a lot biases that loser cucks shill online tbh

Then everyone wonders why losers worship these clown daddies...

The fact this has 40 up votes right now makes me feel like lemmy is losing a diverse user base. Like, where are the women to down vote this obviously shitty take?

Let's list some reasons why these women could have done this that aren't "women are sluts for clown daddies":

he's their boss, and leveraging his insane power over them to make it hard to say no and keep their job
he's just an extremely powerful man and they're afraid of pissing him off
they have insecurities, (like the "loser cuck" fallacy!) that they aren't valuable or desirable as partners, and attention from someone as powerful as him feels like affirmation of their value even if they don't like him or he treats them badly
they understand that, by not resisting his advances, they might be able to provide themselves a link to a financial source that could support them and a child
he literally sexually harasses, assaults, or rapes them and they don't feel like they can criminally pursue one of the richest men in the world

Like, yeah, some of them might be individuals who have bad taste in men or are shitty people themselves. I'm even certain that some of them are! But damn, can we take the perspective of the woman for one second? It's not a good look to find yourself agreeing with incels on the internet

Feel like it's worth pointing out that user has over 360 comments, and they created that account 5 days ago.

Also keep in mind Lemmy doesn't work like reddit. Scores are not universal, it depends on the instance you're looking at it from.

That's a good (and reassuring) observation!

Still, even if it's a bot/troll/etc. post, if we don't call it out when we see it, the culture of the community slowly shifts towards "bigotry is acceptable here"...

I'm gonna keep pointing this stuff out when I see it whether the user is acting in good faith or not :)
