Louis Theroux Manosphere

I don’t know where to start with this one. Was there any need for the documentary? I feel like it just highlighted what people already know and gave some of these influencers even more visibility. I got too much second hand embarrassment throughout.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but surely it would have been good to get some people who could actually articulate the philosophy of the manosphere / incel movement. I was hoping to get an insight into what these guys believe on a deeper level, but perhaps I am expecting too much of the faces of these movements / ideologies?

I got a couple of minutes into the guy who had the one sided monogamous relationship and could feel my blood starting to boil, so turned it off before I had a stroke!

Yeah I think it’s just one big rage bait of a documentary. A guy has a business managing sex workers then says he would be disgusted if it was his daughter but can’t see why that’s an issue (facepalm).

I don't think there is a deeper level. Just a bunch of women-hating cockwombles.

I watched Louis on Romesh’s YT podcast last night but haven’t yet watched Manosphere. Thought it would be worth getting his thinking before watching it but was still undecided. 30% of me is thinking that any interest will elevate the profile and profitability of these people, 30% is unfortunately thinking that it’s an effort by Louis to stay relevant and 40% is thinking that I couldn’t give a fuck about Tate, Tikkitoki etc or what Louis might project of them.

I think the influencer guys are just grifters profiting off some mens personal vulnerabilities. I just don’t get how these guys are not embarrassed, but I guess it is making them rich.

I love Louis but he was so flat in this one. Didn't ask any really searching questions but yet again the manosphere is all about money and they pay that comes with it. They see women as being born with pussy power but then men have to get rich. They clearly don't believe anything they are saying but they know people are gullible and will fall for their scams. Then the majority who won't get wealthy somehow believe it's women's fault because they don't earn the money to attract the beautiful women so quickly become incels.

Whilst I am far from religious, the bible was spot on with love of money is the root of all evil.

Until watching, I never realised one of the beliefs is that women are born with pussy power.

The crazy thing is, the contradiction between having to work and sacrifice to achieve, then blaming women when it doesn’t work out. I guess really that anger at women is likely their own self-hate and self-disappointment, which they do not have the courage to face.

Because they are brain washed into thinking getting rich is easy and if they don't succeed then they are just losers. Women then become an easier target than realising they were duped by their idols.

The way I see these type of programmes is that Louis is also an influencer and the fact that before this thread I wasn't even aware of the show isn't a surprise to me.

Just in the same way that the only discussion I've ever seen about the manosphere has been here on fab.

Ignorance may well be bliss but I'm good with that because I don't subscribe to rage baiting in whatever form it takes.

Do we mean the kind of comments on Tikkitok that centre around women and their appearance? E.g the recent spate of Nelly Furtado vids that show her most recent self and the plethora of shitty weight related comments and stating that women lose value as they age etc?

I have nothing against them, if that's what both parties have agreed on. It was the guy's attitude that riled me. The entitlement and expectations that he could do whatever he wanted regardless of what the mother of his children wanted; this having come straight after the 'influencer' who thought it was ok to invest in a business that profited from women selling sex, but would never let his daughter enter that 'industry', and couldn't justify why he would be so mad about it if she wanted to.

It was the overall misogyny and total lack of respect for women that was making me mad.

I think the message is clear, that these "men" are just hurt lil boys who haven't worked through their trauma, hence why they take every question as an attack.

Like louis just mainly listened, so it was just these boys threatened and spiralling.

I think it draws on a number of things, louis style isn't to spoon feed the auidence, that's what these grifters do. I wouldn't trade places with a single one.

It came from Louis’ mouth in the podcast unfortunately. It was said almost jokingly but resonated.

Describing LR as an “influencer” is ridiculous and arguably part of the problem; he’s an investigative journalist and has been for decades.

The way he unpicked these snake oil peddling Ponzi schemers was genius; he had them all inside out and ranting at their own shadows within minutes!

Tried, but hated it in moments. He normally makes documentaries that are awkward, but give depth. From the little I watched I felt sick to be a man. That I have daughters facing these kind in their generation especially, groomed by grifters and morons who think they are alpha males (a title no real man wants).

Grooming is the right word when you view the world through a manosphere lens.

A man's value comes from his money, and a woman's value comes from her sex appeal. Their entire grift is to prey on vulnerable teenage boys and take their money (eg male worth). That's not just the equivalent of a Bonnie Blue; it's worse. At least bonnie blue is exchanging her value for money.

It's a small positive but I think most boys will mature past these messages. It's telling that the only adults they had on it were the super vulnerable ones (eg homeless) who were also trying to grift.

The thing I don't understand is why they have hatred of women when the women were the only ones to stick around unlike their fathers.

When I watched it with my son, we just laughed and I can't believe some young men aspire to it. You could tell Myron was definitely all fur coat and no knickers especially when Louis asked his wife/girlfriend about multiple wives in the future, he didn't look very "manly" and back tracked.

Watching these "men" was like seeing a bunch of males who never grew up from high school, extremely embarrassing.

Easier to hate the person you see doing wrong than the person that isnt there.

The tiktoker was put through private school off the back of his mum working six days a week. I can easily imagine he was bottom of the pecking order and bullied coz of it. As such I can imagine he holds a degree of resentment.

Also they live in a toxic bubble where most of the women they meet are living a certain lifestyle. Eg that after hours car crash of a show is full of gals who know they will be humiliated for being dumb, but go anyway for their clout.

If there's one unhealthy person in a relationship, then there is two.

I found that weird too.

If your mum worked 6 day weeks to put you through private school and make sure you were fed/educated etc, surely you'd have a bit more respect for women. Instead of seeing them as cash cows etc.

There is no such things as “Thr Manosphere”. Its fictitious thing created hy feminists to shut down any pro male space, and deflect valid criticism of feminism.

One such space is the mensrights sub on reddit. Described as a place where men are encouraged to hate women, it is fat from it in reality. The “manisphere” term is just another way to attack men. If you want to see places in reddit, for example, that encourages people to be sexist and hateful towards others then checkout the feminist subs such as twoxchromasones. It will soon have your blood boiling with anger.

Thinking that Louis is an investigative journalist is part of the problem. He's on a par with Jeremy Kyle and he knows his audience.

I've never seen him unpick anyone. He points a camera at them and let's them show their true colours.

They're getting impressionable young men to sign up to trading accounts where they'll lose all their money. And the influencer gets a cut. It's a con plain and simple. The misogyny is just a theatre show.

Most disappointing was when one guy asked Louis if there was a genocide in Gaza. Louis didn't appear to accept that. Kind of shocking tbh. I'm deeply disappointed in him, it seems everyone is in it for a fast buck including Louis. Truth be damned.

Yawn, what part was demonising men? Maybe we should look at statistics of women killed by men?

Saying it's pro men and anti men is delusional, the men are putting women down with pretending to be dominant, calling women names for money and taking cuts from OF makes my blood boil.

So... I've gone back and finished watching it now, without managing to get angry again.

My takeaway is that the guys interviewed are all very broken. They appear to be reaching out to find a way to cope with the traumas they have been dealt by attempting to control their own narrative. But they don't really seem to believe what they're saying in most cases. There appears to be a huge sense of insecurity and they seem to me to be manifesting this by avoiding commited relationships and trying to show the rest of the world how unaffected they are by their traumas. But I actually think Louis' carefully placed silences and lack of reaction caused responses and emotions that surprised some of the interviewees and clearly caused some of them to question their own 'preachings'. I thought the segment with HS' mum was particularly telling.

I don't have any interaction with the teenage boys that these 'influencers' are targeting, but I can see why they might fall for the rhetoric being spouted. I just really hope that this documentary can be used positively by parents, parent figures and educators to work through those issues and help those being targeted to see these individuals for who they really are.

And so do some women, yet that is labelled “misogyny”. Hating men is always excused, normalised, and even praised. So quit thr souble standards. "

I disagree, it's not double standards.....And it's not ok from either side but there is more misogyny than misandry out there in the media, here and online and it's clear to see. Nobody regardless of gender deserves to be denigrated.

There are groups out there who are trying to do good for their focus groups. Unfortunately some within those groups end up with black and white thinking and get so focused on their part of the world they become blind to the others. Sometimes it's just a bit of a doubt in what they should have done back then.

There are also others that infiltrate, that group in order to groom and gift.

Those who are in the group and have good intentions need to be mighty aware of those who are there for the wrong reasons and call out bad behaviour. Unfortunately, from my experience with some of those reddits a few years ago, that was not the case. And if you offered any kind of balance, you got shot at for being on the wrong side.

In my opinion, if you can't see the bad players in your group and find it all too easy to see the bad players in an opposite group, you may need to pause and reflect. The best way for really checking in with your beliefs is to try and take the counterfactual position.

"So I just downloaded and watched this as I usually do love his documentaries. It's dressed up as a 'manosphere', but basically this is a scam. They're getting impressionable young men to sign up to trading accounts where they'll lose all their money. And the influencer gets a cut. It's a con plain and simple. The misogyny is just a theatre show.

Most disappointing was when one guy asked Louis if there was a genocide in Gaza. Louis didn't appear to accept that. Kind of shocking tbh. I'm deeply disappointed in him, it seems everyone is in it for a fast buck including Louis. Truth be damned.

Do you think a British jewish journalist should be held accountable for another countries actions?

Would you hold a British Muslim journalist responsible for the slaughter in Sudan? "

No, but I do think we should be able to tell the truth. It's blindingly obvious that there is an ongoing genocide there, I'm disappointed Louis who's work I've enjoyed over the years, couldn't bring himself to say it. The truth is more important than any allegiance to any ideology.

Not watched, but will watch... However modern day influencers are the same a olden day TV stars. Louix uses the same techniques on his reports, to influence people, and he is aiming to stay relevant.

If louix was younger, he would have been on social media, and would have been bucketed into the same manospehere.

What makes him interesting is how he echos things

What makes my blood boil is the fact that these tw@ts are having an influence on the way young impressionable men view the world & women.

These stupid young men can’t engage critically or analytically or even form their own opinions.

And that seeps into the way they vote & subsequently the direction of the country - Which effects me 🤨

I watched it and didn’t think it was a particularly good programme, I’ve seen other Louis Theroux documentaries that were far better.

Other than the American guy, whose name I can’t remember already, I don’t think any of them believed a word they were saying. It was all for clicks, rage baiting and notoriety…..nothing new in what they’re doing at all.

I think the guy who said "the manosphere doesn't exist" doesn't realize those in the manosphere use that term.

What I’m saying is that there’s just as much toxic feminism as there is toxic masculinity in the world.

The two toxic ends of both spectrums enjoy nothing more than a good man/woman bashing session.

No just think it was a shitty thing to do to a very minority group who already took enough stick as it was, this was 20 odd years ago when it was far less accepted than it is today

What minority group? Mysognysts?

You know exactly what I was referring to considering i stated it was 20odd years ago and the documentary mentioned in the op was recent

Do tell

Wtf ? Tell what ?

I don’t know what group you’re referring to

The female bodybuilders I mentioned in my first post, he posed as a friend making a positive documentary about them then just mocked them going on about steroids use and clitoral enlargement

So you reckon that these misogynists and grifters were misrepresented? "

So based on a 25 year old documentary from the era of “fat families” “benefits street” and “snog marry avoid” you’re dismissing Louis entire body of work?

Define “Toxic feminists”

The types of feminists that exhibit toxic behaviours.

Give me 3 examples of Toxic Behaviours

No thanks, there’s enough toxicity in the world without me listing behaviours for you.

Lol that’s because you can’t "

Are you suggesting that there are now toxic feminist groups?

You’ve resorted to personal insults? And you want me to define toxicity for you?

Watched it last night, I thought it was still a worthwhile thing to look at. Whilst I was aware of the whole toxic masculinity “thing”, I wasn’t aware of the size or depth of it, and just how bad it is. Seeing young men go up to these peopel on the street wanting photos with them shows just how much it’s in our society.

The point on how Louis didn’t probe too much, I fear that he may have been shut down earlier had he gone harder. Especially with the girlfriends / women in their lives (eg the backstage girl sorting the female guests).

One point that wasn’t mentioned, the tickytockytwatty knobber, he has personal protection. Is he not man enough to look after himself? Idiot.

They’re all utterly horrible, horrible people.

“Lol because you can’t”

Is insulting because I chose not to rise to your rage bait, not that I couldn’t.

Now you have your rise do you feel better?

Also please don’t misgender me. I am a female not a male as you suggested further up the thread. I’m pretty sure that a person of your social awareness wouldn’t have done that deliberately, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Now. I find it a bit of a tell how you always are a champion for anti misogyny yet absolutely fight tooth and nail to deny any form of misandry exists when you know full well that it does and making straw man statements doesn’t prove your point, if you even have one other than to be facetious.

My post above was quite clear that I wasn’t tolerant of either.

You on the other hand seem to have a very one sided view of the world and you are happy to deride and goad anyone who questions your skewed view of people and humanity in general.

So, there’s your rise that you do craved all afternoon. I do hope you feel better for it.

I’d never dream of misgendering anyone but I would have assumed that a couples profile accusing women of misandry would be the male half or just a man anyway, but if it’s the female half then fair enough

Give me 3 examples of Toxic Behaviours

No thanks, there’s enough toxicity in the world without me listing behaviours for you.

Lol that’s because you can’t

Are you suggesting that there are now toxic feminist groups?

You’ve resorted to personal insults? And you want me to define toxicity for you?

Have a great evening.

Please quote me the personal insult where did I use one? I only pointed out that your words have no substance i.e. rhetoric

“Lol because you can’t”

Is insulting because I chose not to rise to your rage bait, not that I couldn’t.

Now you have your rise do you feel better?

Also please don’t misgender me. I am a female not a male as you suggested further up the thread. I’m pretty sure that a person of your social awareness wouldn’t have done that deliberately, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Now. I find it a bit of a tell how you always are a champion for anti misogyny yet absolutely fight tooth and nail to deny any form of misandry exists when you know full well that it does and making straw man statements doesn’t prove your point, if you even have one other than to be facetious.

My post above was quite clear that I wasn’t tolerant of either.

You on the other hand seem to have a very one sided view of the world and you are happy to deride and goad anyone who questions your skewed view of people and humanity in general.

So, there’s your rise that you do craved all afternoon. I do hope you feel better for it.

I’d never dream of misgendering anyone but I would have assumed that a couples profile accusing women of misandry would be the male half or just a man anyway, but if it’s the female half then fair enough

despite all your bluster, you can’t even give me 1 example of “toxic feminism” just one? Please?

You don’t get to make demands.

Then don’t say things you can’t back up

🤣

Ok, I won’t.

Thanks for the mansplaining.

I won’t worry my pretty little self anymore with these issues.

Seriously 🤷‍♂️ not even one example? Poor from you

Nope, not one!

You’re right. There’s no such thing as toxic feminism. It doesn’t exist and anyone that says it does must be a creep or an incel.

Well done.

🤷‍♂️ you folded so quickly

You can stop now. I’m off to burn my bra….,."

Is that a toxic trait?

Ahh yes the good old self entitled twats club

It's not really just about a dominant role in a relationship and that their women are subservient as in eager and willing to please but it's total control over everything for these men. Look at me, I need to be adored and worshipped kind of thing.

Tickytocky just sounded proper thick in my opinion and so arrogent. It's so sad that the yuff of today look up to these dickheads really and people actually think that's how you should treat other humans or how you should be treated.

I love louis, I wasn't surprised by the men at all. I've seen clips of most of them at some point or another.

I think it was an important issue to take on. A lot of these guys I don't believe actually live their lives like they say they do. It's mostly for financial benefits of being controversial.

There is a darker more insidious side to the red pill though and that is actual incels.

They scare me as a woman they genuinely hate and despise women, they're extremely angry and angry men scare me.

I think parents needed to be aware that their kids are looking to these men and repeating their ridiculous statements that hold no real basis.

I thought it was obvious the "question" at best wasn't sincere, and at worst was cynically weaponised (just like his Savile nonsense)? Whatever Theroux thinks, not answering was the only good thing to do in that situation.

As usual with his documentaries, I thought the calm, empathetic but not obsequious approach helped to lay out the hypocrisy and retrograde beliefs of these unfortunately influential people very well.

That red pill stuff is mental. Its frightening that some men seem to believe and agree with the absolute ballix spouted on the red pill sites.

Think theyre just sad, pathetic men who cant accept their own failings and have to blame someone else. In this instance women.

Its like the men posting in here complaining that women arent dropping their knickers for them.

The frightening thing for me is the number of kids who are following and looking up to these twats. In 10 years times this could be a thousand times worse.

The most frightening thing is those hurt and repressed men sit in some of the most powerful offices in the world and are currently constructing war and abusing children on the regular 🤷‍♂️ with another one leading the polls in this county.

I think it was an interesting watch. It’s certainly an important one. I think Louis done a great job of showing how insecure these guys get over the smallest little trigger. I think it’s important to show these morons for what they are. Too many young men are trying to be like them. If you watch it, it’s shows clips of the live streams of Tikkytokky and the like, the comments in there from viewers are shocking. Even worse realising how many people follow and truly believe they are role models

Isn’t it fascinating those who consider Theroux as the problem or protagonist?

He literally let all of these so called influencers dig their own grave with their own shovels; so why ‘shoot the pigeon’ rather than question the message?

Plenty on this thread are questioning LR integrity, plenty of the mainstream media labelling the documentary as incendiary for giving the influencers a global platform from which to preach!

Let’s be honest, every one of these scammers need shutting down, but with the social media companies at the top of the Ponzi pyramid, this isn’t happening anytime soon!

I think we need to be careful about how we label and demonise the boys and men that follow these influencers. One of the observations I took away from the documentary was just how carefully their followers are curated and groomed. In most instances, they aren't being thrown into the darkest parts of the manosphere on day one, but are enticed in with gimmicks and watchable content. The worst parts of the community are held back until they have shown a degree of pre-commitment through memberships, etc. By which point the endowment effect and other psychological tricks kick in

These vulnerable boys are groomed in the same way as vulnerable girls are groomed for their sexuality, and vulnerable drug users are groomed onto harder and harder substances.

If we don't see the humanity of the boys and empathise with the worlds they have grown up in, then we are doomed to lose them to these influencers.

They are not pathetic; they are lost, hurt, and misguided and quite often are being tasked with finding their own place in the world in lieu of any healthy parental or mental figures.

As much as we like to distance ourselves from many of these caught in the manosphere, it is but by the grace of God that we have not been pulled in. We think it's our strength of character or morality. Often it's from having a good adult figure, stability, and/or lack of abuse.

Yes, I agree. I think boys and men have been finding it difficult to deal with the changing world where their idea of what it means to be a man is challenged.

I don't demonise the followers but I think the leaders need exposing for what they are and we need to provide some good, visible role midels

It’s no different to those who are groomed by far-right political parties 🤷‍♂️ all of the “influencers” in the doc talk about dissatisfaction with modern society, disenfranchisement etc… and they get so close realising who is to blame… and then pick women… in the same way that people are poorer and angrier now and realise that their money and assets are being hoarded and extracted… by immigrants!?? (🫠) again people failing to actually grasp why life seems so dissatisfying and hopeless and then latching onto similar charlatans and grifters like Farage/Tice et al.

There’s very little difference in the messaging of these misogynist influencers and far-right grifters

Populism 🤷‍♀️. I don't know what you do about it because the populist leaders and influencers make it all seem so simple and rational. If women behaved a certain way all men's problems would be over, if there were no immigrants you'd get a doctor's appointment and earn more. Reality is way more nuanced and change far more difficult to achieve but people want the easy way out and a convenient hate figure

It’s also not surprising that these ‘high value Alpha male’ types never have relationships with women that would challenge these ‘boys’ behaviours, women who are intelligent, mature, confident and unlikely put up with any of their dumb shit opinions and behaviour.

It’s just so shallow, their social media presence is everything to them, the excessive reassurance-seeking behavior and unhealthy craving for validation is just pathetic and sad.

Whilst I have some time for this perspective, ultimately there are a lot of men who have the same problems and didn't go on to blame women for them. That speaks to a weakness of their character, compared to other men in the same position who are being targeted by these same influencers.

I want these men to be free of those problems, but women shouldn't be free from hatred only when men are comfortable. And let's be honest, many of these men aren't really all that uncomfortable anyway - they're just bad people.
