Now I definitely agree that the fundamental plot of ongezellig would be hard pressed to be practical in an all-male cast, however I do have some pointers that in theory would give the show merits. The thing is, there are around 10 fold more male Maya counterparts than female Mayas in real life. It’s clearly evident that even even the male “incel” spaces that they tend to dislike themselves, and obviously the “normal” people dislike them significantly worse. Now with the female side of the coin it is evident that they are treated with much more grace and are liked much more often. This shows for sure, considering that ongezellig was made, an all female main cast and the main protagonist being a female, despite that only being ~10% of the loneliness sphere. The male side is completely glossed over. A male show’s effectiveness depends on how the message is relayed. The male lonely spaces are constantly and consistently sold short and pushed to the side, even with the rapidly rising incidence of male loneliness in this modern period. Of course the exact ongezellig style is hard to work with males, but the concept more loosely definitely can. The (us) chuds are barely a footnote on the page of society, while the female chuds if you will get a paragraph, despite being 10x fewer than their male counterparts. A male ongezellig type series as a more “let’s see what’s on the other side of the coin nobody looks at” style could work decently well I think. It all depends on its execution. The whole 2 siblings thing is difficult to apply, but the unsociable idea is definitely a concept for males is very rarely seen in the public (normie) eye. O algo.
