This is becoming a real perennial story, from what I gather the lay flat movement isn’t really very significant it’s probably less influential in China than incels are here, or a smaller niche that’s harder to think of - maybe like the nofap community or something. Big in some weird online spaces but pretty much unheard of out of it.
It’s an interesting one, kinda like Ken Keasy but without the acid.
Thanks for making me google Ken Keasy lol. I liked Cuckoos nest. I had no idea the author was an Army psychedlic test subject and worked in a psyciactric ward
Could you clarify how it’s like Ken Keasy?
PS -why you getting downvoted so hard? Due to lack of references or something?
I was thinking of Leary’s tune in, drop out kinda thing and Keasy was a big part of that movement.
And the downvoting is probably because they want to belive this is a big thing in China because it would go towards the view they want to be true, but the reality is cccp is hugely popular and the obsessive work ethic is still a driving force.
I’m not connecting it to sex I’m using them as examples of groups that if this was a Chinese forum we might be reading about and thinking they’re significant but were we to then ask a random American most wouldn’t have even heard of them and those that have would almost universally tell you are meaningless and not taken seriously.
When using one thing as an example of a certain facet of something it’s generally understood that the other aspects aren’t important - the sun is round like a cricket ball doesn’t imply it’s the same size or that it’s used for sport.
Indeed. In the elevated male fandom, the Sigma is the one who abandons all thoughts of women to focus on the grind and his version of success. The Chad is the one who gets the girls

My question is why do you keep connecting it to sex

I’m guessing because it’s a big carrot with equally dismal prospects and even when it’s achieved it’s not really so glamorous as advertised.
