- Society & Culture
Welcome to UBE Chats, where we ignite conversations on important topics surrounding mental health in the Filipino community. In this episode, we explore the intersection of toxic masculinity, gaming culture, and its impact on Filipino mental health.
Toxic masculinity is the adherence to societal norms that promote harmful behaviors and attitudes associated with manhood. In gaming culture, this can be seen in the perpetuation of gender stereotypes, abusive language, and aggressive behavior, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression.
Specifically, we discuss the effects of toxic masculinity on the mental health of Filipino gamers. From societal expectations of masculinity to the impact of toxic gaming culture, we unpack how these issues can contribute to the challenges that male gamers face in navigating their mental health struggles.
We also explore the role that gaming can play in mental health, discussing how gaming can offer an escape, provide a sense of community and belonging, and even serve as a cathartic outlet for expressing emotions.
Join us as we share personal stories, expert insights, and engage in open and honest conversations about toxic masculinity, gaming, and male mental health within the context of the Filipino community. Together, let us challenge harmful narratives, promote positive gaming culture, and help combat the stigma surrounding mental health.
Listen in to UBE Chats and be empowered to confront toxic masculinity, prioritize your mental health, and find solidarity within the gaming community . #FilipinoMentalHealth #ToxicMasculinityAwareness #GamingCommunitySupport
