I Infiltrated the Manosphere

In July, I created an alias account on YouTube so that I could purposefully fall prey to the Manosphere. I watched endless podcasts, videos, and fan uploads of controversial stars: Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, The Brother Pill, and Fresh & Fit. I allowed YouTube to mold my new account based on these habits and watched as it ushered me further down the rabbit hole. With this study, I came to the following conclusions: there's a lot we know about the Manosphere, a lot we get wrong, and a lot we can do to rescue those within it. - HELPFUL RESOURCES ⬇️ https://linktr.ee/shanspeare.jpg - FIND ME ELSEWHERE ⬇️ support me on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/shanspeare subscribe to T.O.E (for free!): https://substack.com/@shanspeare instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shanspeare.jpg/ second channel: @shansorbet - Hi! I'm Shaniya but I use the moniker Shanspeare on Youtube. I'm 25, use they/she pronouns, and love all things pop culture! My channel has a lot going on: think Shakespeare meets Baz Luhrmann meets insufferable jester in a relevant but silly costume. I have a bachelor's in English Professional Writing (and basically Literary Analysis--long story) which aids me in the creation of my content. Above all, I wish to emphasize teachability and critical engagement through a fun lens. - Timestamps: 0:00 rehashing matt rife 4:23 introducing Jordan Peterson 11:29 history of the manosphere 13:30 anatomy of the manosphere 27:36 pick-up-artists 46:39 men's rights activists 01:07:00 incels 01:26:00 what do we do? - Tags: Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Fresh n Fit, Manosphere, masculinity crisis, redpill, incels, MGTOW, MRAs, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, video essay, pop culture video essay, deep dive, Matt Rife
