Emboldened ‘manosphere’ accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election

The sphere isn’t just men, it’s maga.

It’s not just the men/man/male influencers/manosphere, it’s the magasphere.

The magasphere has allowed people to feel more comfortable saying trash in public.

Edit: really gotta spell it out for the masses.

The internet in general has a misogyny problem, and it's not just right-wing spaces. Reddit is famous for being left-wing, but it's hard to get to the second page of r/all without seeing a video where a man punches a woman. That shit is celebrated, and that content comes from multiple subs not known to be chud focused.

Back in 2015-16, I personally saw skeptic spaces on Youtube and Reddit abandon leftest values in favor of Gamergate-misogyny. You can trace the "woke" criticism of online game discourse straight through to pioneering bigots like "littlefoot" and the "amazing" atheist in their crusade to save anime titties from Anita Sarkeesian.

And while the incel and 'men's lib' movements are explicitly politically right, they do adopt the language and critical framework of academic feminism. They make some valid observations about men's gender rolls in society, too bad the prescription is never to improve conditions for men, rather to walk back the advancements of women.

Yeah that'll definitely get you laid, they better just start fucking each other because they're definitely not getting close to any woman in the next 4 years.
