The original article:

Even "nice" guys are secretly mean and will treat you horrible, if you don't listen to them.

This article:

Women will make up horrible things about guys online, even when it's not true, to get clicks. And not even properly apologize.

I think your reading of both the original text and this follow-up are deeply flawed.

Foremost, original text was a story, a work of fiction (not an "article") -- of course it was made up! The fictional character of Robert is not the real life person Charles.

It is strange then, to claim that "Women will make up horrible things about guys online". Is the creation of any unpleasant fictional character a bigoted swipe at large sections of the populace? (There's an additional irony of you generalising this to _women_ and not the author.)
