Since I made a bot for Pride Month (and I might make more), I also decided to make one for Men’s Mental Health Awareness.

I hope every man feels like he can reach out for help without fear of judgment and feels able to acknowledge and accept his emotions and wellbeing. Love ya, guys. I hope you’re doing amazing, and if things have been difficult lately, I hope you have someone you can talk to and lean on through it.
