WATCH: Bill Maher Says Mark Zuckerberg’s Rebranded Site Will Create More Angry Incels

Facebook has been having a rough go of it lately. The social media giant has become a place where misinformation runs rampant, affecting both public discourse and health.

Mark Zuckerberg seems to think the best way to move forward is to rebrand the site and it will now be called Meta. According to Bill Mahar, though, nothing is likely to change.

The HBO host began, “We just went through a pandemic. The last thing I want is more virtual, and that’s what the metaverse sounds like it’s going to be — the pandemic year, except forever. You have to ask yourself why does Mark Zuckerberg think living in a metaverse would be so much better? (It’s) because look at him — the dead eyes, the lack of recognizable human features, the painted-on hair — he’s already an avatar.”

Maher continued:

“It’s not harmless. It never is when any society for any reason creates men who are cut off from women, and it’s not going well here with the incels. It’s become a toxic subculture of angry, misogynistic, digital eunuchs, and the metaverse is only going to make it meta-worse, because it’s a vicious cycle. The more time you spend in the digital world, the more you suck at engaging in the real world, so the more your retreat into the virtual, which further atrophies your real social skills, including and most importantly getting laid.”
