Summary

In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.

Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.

This cultural shift mirrored Trump’s election victory and reflected backlash against progressive gender norms.

Though some view these spaces as promoting traditional values, critics warn of growing misogyny and radicalization in the “manosphere.”

The rise of such spaces highlights deepening political polarization online.

    How do you know it’s something you’d want to avoid if you have no idea what it is? If you know it’s something to avoid, then wouldn’t you have to know what it is?

      Take this at its most extreme.

      So, for instance, I have to watch scat porn to avoid it? I don’t have permission from you to say I want to avoid watching people eating shit until I’ve personally watched people eating shit regardless of my preference?

      You understand how stupid you sound?

        What does having my permission have to do with anything? I’m assuming many people who haven’t watched scat porn knows what it is. The person I replied to claims to have no idea what hawk tuah is. You should try to do better understanding the context of the previous discussion before you feel the need to say anyone else sounds stupid

          You are pretending that without a state sponsored education about someone… no one is allowed to police them?

          Why are you gate keeping?

          What does my context have to do with anything? You should try to do better understanding the “context of previous discussions…”

          You should get a clue before posting this shit…

      It’s not this specific thing I try to avoid. It’s this category of things. The vast vajority of it I’m not interested in so if I lose few gems with it then that’s a price I’m willing to know. By definition it cannot bother me when I don’t even know what I’m missing.
