There is a very THIN FINE LINE between the manosphere and embracing far right ideas

There is so much MAGA content between body building and fitness sectors on social media it's insufferable.

Same with MMA.
Yes it’s a pipeline. Bodybuilding & MMA—> Dating content—> being a real man—>politics and alt right content

this is not new and I hate that people on here is so dismissive. I’d like to think many of us that grew up during the internet era early 2000s to now have watched this happen over and over again in real time. It’s why we talk about radicalization online. It’s not some we lock people in a room and brainwash them. There is a formula to this sh*t and it works the same way funnel marketing does.

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
It’s basic recruiting tactics, most of these MGTOW are fukking chicken hawks. They target people with gripes against 1 thing, they show them attention, they give them a sense of “community”, they already know that the person is willing to hate on one thing, they already know that the person is a follower, they already know they are susceptible to getting hustlers and grifted, they are like pimps, they make them into hoes that are loyal to them, and then, once they have the mush brain idiot fully loyal to them and their thinking, they drain em, or set them up in the pyramid grift! LOL It’s such an easy lick once you identify somebody that is a clear follower.

Manosphere/womansphere is the gateway to c00ning for black people.

It makes you despise the opposite sex and you get to point A which is "the problem with black women/men is that they are xyx" then point B where you then start to back this up with racist stereotypes and statistical data "Black women are nothing but single mothers who go after pookie and ray-ray check the stats" "black men are killing black women and a danger to you if you date them check the homicide rate stats" , then you've reached point C which is full blown c00n mode and you are presenting black men or black women as a full blown problem with society. Who has similar views none other than far right and racist white people :francis: Point D is then cliquing up with them.

In the algorithm world, FFFUUUUUCCCCKKkK no. One moment you are watching Kevin Samuels, the next you are being sent Oshay Duke Jackson. You watch a few of those and then you randomly start getting videos that ratchet up the “men must be men“ rhetoric. Then you start getting recommend it videos about how men are under attack and how Disney is trying to make your kids gay. Next thing you know Prager U videos are being recommended. Then you arrive at Steven Crowder and a bunch other bullshyt right wing folk. I understand how you may feel that this can all be nuance but it is called the right wing rabbit hole for a reason. Whether it is Facebook or YouTube, those algorithms will have you looking at right wing shyt whether it starts from the manosphere ,or sports channels that complain about wokeness, or even media channels that do the same about diversity in comics, movies, and TV shows. Seriously click on just a few of those and you get inundated with more.
I watch Kevin Samuels videos and I NEVER get recommendations to these right wing or any manosphere videos and channels.

This an elephant in the room no one is talking about. Can we be for mans rights, the importance of the family unit and men/women taking accountability and still reject far right ideology? Such as outlawing abortion, contraception, gay marriage etc.

I've been noticing a softening towards pretty far right positions by a lot of manosphere YouTube personalities. Its something we need to keep an eye on

Its not necessarily KS, but someone who likes Kevin Samuels may very well find themselves watching Minister Jap/Mediocre Tutorials/Oshay because cats really into that stuff will click multiple channels. Kevin Samuels vids gave me other dating advice folks (Some on the Hotep tip, others more general) and if you click enough,
you end up with Donovan Sharpe who leads to the white dudes he links up with. Only reason I can speak on this is because the same shyt happened to me with the Hodge Twins some years back but it happens much quicker now. Eventually I get spun those videos if I click on anything manosphere related.

Every last one of these guys I've seen posted here has some right wing pandering bullshyt in all of their videos. Even the dudes ya'll claim are objective like Aba & Preach pander to the alt right...
They play the "middle" role which is cool, but they do pretty much give the "It's a difference of opinion" lipservice to some right leaning topics. If you go from Aba and Preach to Fresh and Fit by happenstance, eventually you get fed more extreme channels that do nothing but talk shyt about "Modern women".

From there, the rabbit hole.

same.

But when I was watching Tariq Nasheed and The Black Authority videos on Youtube...all of a sudden Praeger U stuff came up in my recommendations and other blatantly far right white content that I had to physically click on the "don't recommend channel" feature next to them to remove them from my algorithm completely.

Youtube has a far right agenda, make no mistake. Same reason that black youtubers get shadowbanned and their lives are mysteriously face problems with sound and go offline is the same reason right wing videos counteract anything possibly "leftist" on that network and that includes black youtube sector stuff.

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous that you have people on here with pre 2015 join dates being so dismissive of this.

This was been proven to be a thing back in 2013 and further reiterated in 2016

Funny enough the coli (mainly TLR) has been radicalized too.

In 2015 everyone here wanted to find their igbo lineage and make plans to return to the motherland. Fast forward 6 years and half the site hates black immigrants so much that they think that they're "native" to America.
