[quote=Anonymous]Some thoughts in no particular order:

*There were a couple of fans they interviewed - one of the guys said he lived in his car for awhile. I felt really sorry for those guys. They seemed like pretty decent people. For whatever reason, the message of "work on yourself, nobody is going to give you anything" helped them out coming from a podcaster in a way that apparently didn't resonate from the rest of the world. Unfortunately, there's every chance that they'll internalize the misogyny and all the other negative stuff these manosphere types are pushing.

*With respect to male-female relationships, one of the most persuasive messages these guys have is that there is a gap between women's stated preferences about what they want in a man and revealed preferences based on who they actually seem sexually attracted to. (Particularly in the teen and early 20s demographic where the manosphere thrives.) I'll bet a lot of that could be defanged if more women at that age were saying, "yeah, we do like hot dudes and, the hotter you are, the more flexible we can be about how funny, sensitive, supportive, or responsible you are.)

*The effort that HSTikkyTokky had to spend on streaming looked like such a depressing grind. Congratulations on making money, but at what price? Also, his mom was terrible. Supposedly a feminist who doesn't agree with what her son says but helping him try to undercut the documentarian.
