@goodmorningbritain: Misogyny and the manosphere, a term used to describe a corner of the internet where harmful advice and attitudes, especially towards women, are often promoted, is an issue currently being explored on EastEnders. Josh, who was drawn into the manosphere at the age of 12, explains the need for 'open and honest conversations rather than allowing further stigma to take hold.' #Misogyny #ToxicMasculinity

They want boys to be weak and feminine. So they tried gaslighting you to think masculinity is toxic. Thankfully they are now ridiculed and generally ignored.

Terms like Toxic masculinity and manosphere always seem sexist to me - I always switch off and ignore the person using them

There’s no such thing as toxic masculinity. There’s toxic people, then there’s just masculinity.

So he wasn’t raised correctly by his parents which has led to him idolising the wrong people and wrong morals

people complain about the term toxic masculinity as though using it means all masculinity is toxic. it’s an adjective bro - just because i use the words “blonde hair” it doesn’t mean i think all hair is blonde

A lot of influencers play the provocateur archetype. The simple reason is that people and the algorithm thrive off of it. They’re playing the ‘joker’ role, and it works. Behind the scenes, many actually have solid courses or content. The provocative stuff is merely to capture attention, the hook, the first step in the sales ladder. Take it all with a pinch of salt; it’s not that deep and not meant to be taken too seriously. The problem comes when young people take it literally and act in dangerous ways, which is why education is key, helping them understand it’s simply marketing. In fact, the “bad guy” image also plays into the algorithm; when people point fingers, it only boosts engagement. We’re quick to blame the influencers, but really they’re just doing what the algorithm rewards, and that is how money is made in a digital attention-based world. For example, Andrew Tate still has a course that teaches copywriting, sales funnels, short-form video editing, public speaking, speaking in front of the camera, website building, and even running freelance services, creating email funnels for other businesses, and flipping items in digital marketplaces — all low-cost entry ways to start making money. The course doesn’t tell you exactly what to say, but teaches frameworks and the psychology of attention in a digital world, from people who have been there and done it. It also has an affiliate system built in as one optional pathway, but it’s not required to make money. His content is repurposed into short-form, attention-grabbing clips to drive sign-ups to the course, with affiliates earning recurring revenue if they choose that path — I know this firsthand because I have been inside the course. Of course, the short-form clips often miss context, and that’s intentional — it’s how they grab attention. What you’re seeing online is simply the digital face; it’s just there to grab attention and drive engagement. As soon as you’re caught in the “us vs them,” you’re just driving that engagement. And guess what — political leanings, left vs right, us vs them, it’s all the same mechanics: it makes you think the other side is the issue and that you’re on the inside.

It’s the same thing that the media does (call them influencers if you want, that’s what they are). Does it with standards of femininity too. Does it with health products, foreign and domestic policy, all sorts of things. It’s down to individuals to learn discernment. I’m not saying that’s easy for young people, but it is a lifelong task.

Social media is a very dangerous place for the average person. Propaganda is everywhere and for those who can't critically think, it's very dangerous.
