Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing?
I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

Scrolled through the thread long enough and I still only see people blaming stigma and capitalism but... Those are just the end effects.
It's plain toxic masculinity:
- A man must be strong
- Independence is a sign of strength
- Living with your parents is dependence (for good or for bad is irrelevant)
- ipso facto, according to toxic masculinity, guys who live with their parents are weak and not "real men"
