The COVID-19 pandemic was unlike any other global event in recent history. While the exact cause-and-effect remains speculative, there’s a strong hypothesis that it functioned as a global sissification event for men. The virus, coupled with contemporary societal trends, may have played a role in decreasing testosterone levels in men, and the higher mortality rates among men could be tied to this hormonal shift.
1. The Pandemic’s Silent Effect on Men
Some strains of COVID-19 may have influenced male endocrine function, making men more vulnerable physically and psychologically. Testosterone is not just a hormone—it’s a driver of energy, aggression, resilience, and vitality. A decrease in testosterone naturally compromises these traits, and this coincided with a global environment of confinement, fear, and social isolation. Men who rely on strength, decisiveness, and self-reliance were suddenly exposed to prolonged inactivity, anxiety, and dependency, creating fertile ground for effeminacy to spread.
2. The Rise of TikTok and Social Media Degeneration
Coinciding with the pandemic, TikTok exploded in popularity, while Instagram’s attempt to become “the next TikTok” eroded its quality and usefulness. This shift toward algorithm-driven feeds and mindless content consumption normalized passive media engagement. People were no longer hunting for meaningful content; they were being spoon-fed distraction after distraction. Social media, once a tool for connection and information, became a trap—what I call soyboy farms. The vast majority of men, even those who once displayed strength and autonomy, accepted these conditions, allowing their attention, patience, and drive to be eroded.
3. The Prevailing Sissification
The combination of decreased testosterone, global confinement, and algorithmic manipulation produced a perfect storm. Even self-proclaimed “men” became comfortable with being herded, passively scrolling, and seeking external validation. They allowed themselves to be trapped in environments designed to weaken initiative and self-discipline. True masculine traits—focus, autonomy, courage—were sidelined.
4. The Few Who Resisted
Not all men succumbed. A handful of alpha males recognized the manipulation and chose to resist. They continued to run old versions of Instagram while it remained functional, transitioned to alternative platforms like Truth Social and BlueSky, or left social media entirely. These men preserved their autonomy, focus, and mental sharpness while the majority sank into effeminacy.
5. Men Are Hunters, Not Cattle
This sissification event, global in scale, serves as a stark reminder: men are hunters by nature, not cattle to be herded. The pandemic exposed weaknesses, but it also revealed who is willing to fight for independence, mental clarity, and strength. Those who remain vigilant, who resist the allure of spoon-fed distraction, and who prioritize personal development continue to exemplify true masculinity.
Conclusion
COVID-19 and the contemporary degradation of social media may have accelerated a global sissification trend, weakening the majority of men and rewarding passivity. But it is not inevitable. Real men must remember their nature: autonomous, resilient, and hunter-minded. Avoid soyboy farms. Seek out challenges. Hunt your content, hunt your life, and never settle for being fed distractions.
