June is Men’s Mental Health Month, yet every year the topic seems to spark outrage online. In this video, I react to viral TikToks mocking men’s mental health and discuss why compassion should not be a competition between men and women. Correction: I realized one clip included in this video was presented without the broader satirical context of the creator’s content. The creator was actually mocking the trend of people making fun of Men’s Mental Health Month and mocking calls for a moment of silence, a trend that is genuinely present across many videos on the platform.
