Yours truly's newest article. On gendered disinformation by the manosphere in India. It covers various angles of the disinfo and networked discourse: social, political and religious and how they intermingle. And suggests some solutions. This is no longer a niche issue. It's pervasive and dangerous. Plenty of research (academic and practitioner works) cited in my article.

"The #manosphere and parallel trends like the #tradwife (traditional wife) movement — led by influencers who idealize marriage, motherhood and domesticity — are impacting even socially conscious students who say it’s hard to avoid this content brimming with toxic messages about #gender. Over a half-dozen students told The 19th that after the 2024 election, which saw the manosphere blamed for young men’s rightward shift, they noticed changes in their classmates’ behavior — an uptick in #sexist remarks, a sense of entitlement to girls’ attention and schadenfreude that yet another woman lost the presidency."

For those utterly mystified by whatever the hell this is all about, there is a backstory re: a post by a famous #MAGA #Manosphere #Influencer

You do *not* want to find and read the original quote

You have been warned

Dasia Sade asks:

”Does manosphere even know all men aren’t basically just waiting to be right-pilled by them to become women-haters?”

”What if they don’t know?”

I find that is a good question. Especially since the manosphere right now is saying: ”Real mean don’t podcast!”

… Sound a lot to me like commanders that don’t want their foot-soldiers to know ”the enemy” isn’t as weak as they thought ..

It's not the video games, it's the toxic masculinity that goes on in the chats on those games.

But we won't be doing any self reflection on Masculinity so we'll be blaming the games....anything but blame the nihilist cunt who did the deed, ay?

From Kelly Hayes:

"... I’ve long been troubled by how the debate over “male loneliness” is framed. Critics of the concept often argue that there is no such epidemic, while those who amplify the idea frequently weaponize it against the left, claiming that men (usually meaning white men) have been alienated by social justice movements and critiques of the patriarchy. What both positions often overlook is that many people are lonely, and that our vulnerability to bad ideas, toxic ideologies, and exploitation is not bound up in a single demographic ..."

"With the advent of social media, the process of stratification intensified. Dating is increasingly depicted as a winner-takes-all world in which a small percentage of men at the very top take the spoils. The rest are surplus men, condemned to a life of onanistic obstinacy.

In one sense the manosphere reflects wider market logic, which continually pushes its tentacles into new areas of life."

"The manosphere has long divided the world into rigid and distinct hierarchies. Women are rated on a scale from one to 10. Men apply a similar taxonomy of social rank to themselves and each other. There are alphas and betas; red-pilled and blue-pilled; high-status and low-status."

“OpenAI is not just hosting but prominently featuring chatbots that suggest dangerous medical interventions as crucial to men’s sexual and romantic success. They parrot extreme ideology around gender dynamics, sex, and dating; promote pseudoscientific beliefs; and potentially drive vulnerable or young users toward extremist communities.”
