Honestly, the biggest issue I see with “manosphere” convos is this type of thing.
This guy says the manosphere is concerning but at the same time can’t list a single talking point he disagrees with
Says “surface level” is enough, they look like lames
That to me is the biggest issue with these useless “manosphere” discussions, half the people talking about how terrible it is can’t elaborate on a single “manosphere” theory or talking point, but they know for sure it’s destroying society and needs to be stopped
That’s too lazy for me and you can’t have an honest real discussion on ANY topic when one side literally has no knowledge of what the other espouses yet believes they’re in the wrong regardless. It’s completely nonsensical.
Not to mention the “manosphere” contains a host of different characters with varying ideologies, a number of which have been publicly at odds with each other because they disagree with the other’s perspective. But the surface level observer doesn’t recognize that. Again, lazy. Someone like a Rom Wills is not saying the same thing as Immortal Mindz, who is not saying the same things as a Kevin Samuels or an Andrew Tate, yet these lazy folks will group them all together as “manosphere”, with no understanding of their individual philosophies on life, women, etc.
And finally, like someone else mentioned in here, half the shyt these dudes talk about in the “manosphere” is just regurgitating the same old points men of all backgrounds have discussed forever in regards to life & women, even on this board, the “manosphere” just shines a spotlight on it.
I say all that to say, anybody that’s trying to honestly discuss this topic should be able to go deeper than surface level. Don’t be a lame and just talk about angry young men and not getting sex and incels and violence, get specific as to who you saw talking about what specific point, and why you feel that is so dangerous. If you can’t do that, then maybe you should just admit that you’re not quite well versed on any of it but you just want to go online and shyt on the broad concept of “the manosphere” with no specific knowledge of why it’s right or wrong
.
But having lazy, low information “discussions” don’t really do anything to move the ball in the right direction.
