This has been the first Six Nations weekend I’ve got through without a panic attack or similar mental collapse/freakout since 2021. Maybe it’s TMI, but the content creation grind, pressure & stuff like below has burnt me to a crisp the last few years.
Within an hour of Ireland winning the Six Nations, two Irish fans told me to kill myself. There were two 100+ comment Reddit threads about how bitter I must be. One was the top post on the rugby subreddit, above the actual game itself. One guy said he just wanted to make me cry.

Speaking as a man, if any one of us feels our own mental health at being ‘called out’ is more important than the fact every single woman any of us knows has near-endless stories showing this is not so rare, you might as well lock us all up and save some time.
Female abduction / murder is extremely rare. Yes we should all be vigilant when out alone. But this level of fear-mongering isn’t healthy. And men’s mental health is an issue as well. Calling all men out as dangerous is bad for our sons, brothers, partners.

This is my life now. For the sixth time this week an Irish rugby fan has found proof I have a deep-seated hatred of Ireland in a tweet not about Ireland at all. Every word I say on any topic has become a sign I despise everything green. Every word I don’t say just confirms it.

I think a lot of people viewed Trump, Brexit & the rise of the alt-right as a slide back to accepting racism, sexism, bigotry, and hate. But they were wrong. It was their last hurrah, serving as the push the rest of us needed to kick them off the fucking planet once and for all.

If Farage doesn't come back and stand, the media don't care about Reform, they get about as much airtime as the Greens and likely about as many seats. Instead, the constant coverage of Farage has created a monster that's threatening to turn the UK into a fascist state in 2029.
What *should* happen if Reform win 13 seats is that it serves as a wake-up call that platforming fascists does not end well.
What *will* happen is that they’ll get even more blanket media coverage, and Starmer will try to out-racist them in preparation for 2029.
