Just watched Louis Theroux's manosphere documentary on Netflx.
Holy shit. Sexism, misogyny, violence, and the worst antisemitism that I've ever seen.
Maybe I'm naive, but I honestly did not know it was this bad.
I know they go on about red pilling and seeing "the truth". Please, God, give me that blue pill. Anything to return me to a world where these animals don't exist.

@davidnjoku it was so awful

@skinnylatte I knew these people were out there, and I knew that they were definitely misogynistic and probably homophobic and transphobic too. But I assumed that they were kinda Charlie Kirk-like* and hid those views in the subtext. I didn't realise that they were this blatant about it.

@davidnjoku Thank you for warning me. I am too delicate to watch that, I think. I've seen enough in real life - I don't need to see it any worse.

Because I've got a son who's nearly 12, Andrew Tate and his ilk worry me. Yes, I'll play my role as a parent and try to instil good sense and respect for women, but there's only so much I can do.
But then I think back to my childhood. I was a HUGE hiphop fan. And hiphop can be as sexist, violent, homophobic and antisemitic as the worst of the manosphere.
But I turned out OK; I was even OK back then. I knew it was just entertainment, not rules to live by. Hopefully, my son will be OK too.

@davidnjoku It's all you can do as a parent, be a gentle guide, I guess.
