![]() ![]() ![]() A lot of the healthier solutions to this fall under the "patriarchy harms men too" line out thought of feminism, but contrary to the beliefs of right wingers, feminism is really that popular anywhere in the US I think it's possible that the issue can get better, but I see a few major roadblocks: ![]() Grifting based on fearmongering requires being able to exploit the vulnerabilities of your audience for example, a hotep sexist is obviously not going to use the same "black people stealing our women" shit that white incels are drawn to. The internet incel sphere works pretty similarly to the internet conspiracy sphere. It's not hard to see what's driving these trends but I have no clue how to correct it at scale. Imagine what that type of isolation does to a normal human mind, now picture what it does to an impressionable mind that feels like the world of women is just out to get em'. I suspect misogynist red pill men are just the extreme byproduct of that inevitable loop.Įven outside of those extreme cases, it's been observed via polling that there's been a precipitous increase in the number of men aged 18-40 who report having zero friends. Social media technology in general has driven a lot of impressionable people to these extremely non-social isolated bubbles. Being rejected then left you with a lot more options for general sociability versus getting unmatched from a one-off atomized match on some random dating app. Rejected males are an inevitability but the biggest thing that's changed is how absolutely isolating these apps make these impressionable people.Ĭompared to the pre-software days of dating where there was an increased emphasis on social connections and public interactions with different folks from a variety of backgrounds. It seems that's where they suck men in.ĭating in general has become incredibly polarized thanks to everyone's reliance on apps and services. There definitely needs to be pushback here.Īnd for those that do have trouble with dating and relationships today there are definitely healthy options for advice beyond these channels. It seems these online spaces are attractive to alienated young men the same way gangs can be.Īnd with COVID19 showing that intimate partner violence is still a huge problem everywhere especially in the male against female variety, the recent case with Gaby Petito highlighting that more personally, and police departments still not dealing with sexual assaults adequately. Criminologist have known for decades that alienated, young men flock to gangs at a higher rate than those in supportive structures. Can the internet create healthy male spaces for male focused topics? Ones that don't vilify an entire sex in the process? I do hope there can be some genuine pushback on YT on this stuff because this stuff can really damage impressionable young guys.īut it does open a question. Especially young men who may have been dumped or rejected romantically. My biggest issue with it that it seems to attract very impressionable young men with insecurities and create monsters based on ridiculous generalities. ![]() What's interesting is that it's also very race segregated it is. I thought it died down but it seems it just went to YT from Reddit. But was surprised at the number of channels of this stuff. Anyone on the internet for a bit knows all the misogyntic troupes that have been spewed by chauvinists for ages now. I mostly watch cooking, fitness, comicbooks, and some politics stuff on YT, but for some reason, the algorithm fed me some stuff on this and I was shocked how deep the rabbit hole on this stuff. ![]()
