All these big-brained dickish comedy critics being like "Crafting a short self-contained joke that makes sense and makes you laugh requires *IQ*, it requires *analysis*, so that's why *men* do it It's women with their emotive, relational, squishy brains who like 'just chatting'"

Now that Tiktoks and Vines are more and more a feminine/queer thing and cishet dudebros are the ones doing eight-hour-long livestreams where they pass a joint around and just vibe, they're desperately trying to completely reverse the stereotypes but still push them

("Anyone can just *tell a joke* by riffing on popular memes of the day based on their squishy, relational, emotive, people-reading female brains It takes a tough thoughtful serious complex deep male brain to craft a *fleshed-out POV* that people seek to engage with long-term)

...Did male comics hate Vine?

Also, the longform humor is targeted towards a much more narrow audience. Neurodivergent people are going to have a difficult time engaging with it, for example, and the creators make no effort to engage with such groups more.

Whereas even in a more friendly format, tiktoks, often neurodivergent or otherwise people that might struggle to engage with longform media, absolutely pander to those kinds of brains despite ALREADY BEING EASIER FOR US TO DIGEST
