Manosphere

Welcome back to the channel, everybody.

And today we have to talk about the Manosphere.

Yes, the Manosphere, because there is trouble in paradise with the king of the Manosphere.

And who's that? Yes, we all know him, Joe Rogan.

You see, Joe Rogan has put out some

most affectionately known for his 15 seconds in Home Alone 2, so maybe not that crazy.

Anywho, let's get into some history of the cult, and this is a long history, folks, because Theo Vaughn, for being a Manosphere influencer, is fucking old, guys.

Theo Vaughn is old and stale.

He is a 46, and if you're in your 40s listening to this, that is honestly, that's no shade.

So I'm wondering, since he's been kind of such a hallmark of boy culture, but also kind of just like rotting in the background for the past 10 years.

At this point, where does the Ovan fit into the manosphere?

Well, I think something that's different about Theo Vaughn that is both insidious and not insidious, because he's not like as toxic as some of the more extreme voices on the Manosphere.

I would never like group him with Andrew Tate.

The

Manosphere as well enters into it in a not very obvious way.

No, quite

comical.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think, you know, kind of going off of that, I don't know how much you, like, follow, like, the Manosphere or whatever, like, online.

Well, I was going to bring

up the whole repeal the 19th thing, which is, like, I sort of, like, you know, it's, like, I don't want to give it too much credit because it is, like, a stupid, like, meme ideology, but the thing is, like, it is concerning that, like, this is gaining some purchase or, like, you know, like, it's a nudge to the Overton window, you might want to say, but, like, the point is that they're, like, I think that they're being more clear and upfront than they ever have.

I mean, sorry, it's not difficult to understand what they really want.

They want the Third Reich.

I was thinking about what you were talking about with the Manosphere, and it is like, what they remind me of the most are those, the ultra-Orthodox guys in Israel, who like, they still want to live in Israel, they still like when Israel kills people, but they themselves don't draft me, I've got to study Torah.

The manosphere thing, it's like the equivalent where like marrying a woman, gay.

but...

We were planning on talking shit about the Manosphere, but I think we just joined the Manosphere

accidentally.

We just

became it, I think.

Let's talk shit about the Manosphere, but first, what if I had nine dicks? Nine dicks.

Where are you putting them? God gifts you nine hogs, big ones.

Where are you putting those guys? I'm like reverse.

The search and rescue operations are ongoing.

Controversial Manosphere influencer Andrew Tate has lost his Vanuatu citizenship.

The self-described misogynist purchased a Vanuatu passport under the country's Citizenship by Investment scheme in 2022.

Government adviser Glenn Craig told the ABC Mr Tate was facing criminal charges and that gives Vanuatu cause to cancel his passport.

Hi, I'm Dr Joshua Thorburn and for the last few years I've been researching the Manosphere.

But today I'm going to be talking to someone who was once a part of it.

This is Sugar for the Pill.

Sugar for the Pill, that is such a good name.

And I truly am on it.

My new message, I was so excited because I've had so many messages to do more Manosphere talks.

And after doing a couple of interviews, I was like, oh, I'm nervous about doing that again.

But I truly am chuffed to be here.

It's hard to place my finger on, though.

Like, I know it has to do with, like, manosphere and lonely men and, uh, Be a man and this is what men do.

It's kind of interesting.

I'd like to hear what our scary book people have to say about that.

I bet we could get over 100,000 signatures on that.

What's about Dan Pivotson to being a Manosphere right-wing grifter? Jesus Christ! about any of the creators who abandoned him, again, as a joke.

I do think he'll stick to the no politics role because I genuinely think he's incapable of having a conversation about his own beliefs and just goes off whatever feels the most patriotic.

This strikes me as pretty likely behavior from him.
