Television's Fake "Manosphere"

Hollywood continues its war on boys

When you’re in the center of actual events, it’s always educational to observe how completely and totally the mainstream media distorts everything in order to make it all serve the predetermined media narrative.

Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere has been hailed ‘his most chilling documentary yet’ as critics have admitted that they were left ‘quivering behind their sofas’ by the ‘horrid, yet addictive’ probe into the world of alpha males.

His latest 90-minute doc was released on Netflix on Wednesday 11 March.

It follows as documentarian Louis, 55, explores how extremist influencers are manipulating young boys in society with their views, interviewing the likes of Harrison Sullivan (HSTikkyTokky), Myron Gaines and Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy (Sneako).

‘With rare access and no holds barred, the acclaimed documentarian investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influencers,’ the popular streamer’s synopsis reads.

The film has largely received rave reviews from critics, who applauded the probe into the rising online movement, brought to the attention of many by hit Netflix drama Adolescence.

There is almost certainly not a single mention of Game, of Roissy, of Roosh, of Rollo Tomassi, of Hypergamouse, of the SSH, of HoeMath, or of the recently published bestseller on the subject in this “probe into the rising online movement” which echoes the first three generations of work on the subject in near-complete ignorance of the sources of its own material.

Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As yesterday’s topic of model collapse showed, new inputs from the real world are always welcome, and a mindless transformation of past observations into present dogma is seldom helpful to anyone. On the other hand, the chances that young men named TikkyTok and Sneako will be able to offer analyses that are as insightful and relevant as those who came before them are not particularly high.

And, of course, the media always seeks targets that are a) available and b) vulnerable. Neither I nor Roosh talk to the media. So, one can hardly blame them for going with what they’ve got; the problem is that only the least relevant, least intelligent people who fail to recognize the intrinsically adversarial nature of the media or those who are controlled opposition are going to talk to them.

Here’s one sign of controlled opposition: the media portrays them in a respectful manner and poses for pictures with them in flattering lighting. If a “bad guy” looks and acts like a caricature, that’s probably what he is. See: Andrew Tate.

Still, the narrative exists due to the very real and growing influence of anti-feminism realism among young men, and it’s also informative to note that Clown World appears to be concerned about the increasing ability of young men to resist its propaganda.
