I fucked up and posted in the wrong section... but since he talks about edgelords in gaming communities i guess it still works
Asked a mod to move it to etcetera

gonna learn from John's mistake here and bail before it's too late
It's not really sensationalistic. It's a very sober and objective piece. He really does a great job breaking it down and showing the appeal it has for many young men.
I watched this a week or so ago. FD is great and I'm glad I joined his Patreon. His back catalog of videos are really good as well.
Ah okay. Just a bit raw because I have a 14 year old I'm constantly having to "detox" after a few hours of PSN and is currently on a 7 day PlayStation ban for sending an edgelord meme to his friend.
Good video. The joker / Batman stuff was spot on. And yeah I think this should also have a thread in the gaming section people over there def need to see this.

i don't know if it's allowed to have the same thread in two places...
i doubt it is
He was also interviewed here.
The Batman and Joker analogy from the OP video essay is good.
Like Batman itself is super weird. Rich guy uses his resources to pursue petty crime--originally. Instead of heck, why not build institutions instead? But it does speak to America's vigilante extinct.

I already watched this last week, but how you going to post an hour and a half video with no breakdown or discussion of it?
America doesn't want to fix the issues, they want to crackdown on the results. Which is Batman's entire MO.
Yeah, I think that should be the standard for posting videos here. Not just post the video itself. Not to target the OP here. But as a general rule.
Solid video, but really waiting for the second part. I think there's enough materials about Gary Vee and his.. "ways" out there.
Yeah, that's a bit heartbreaking to listen to. I suppose he's been a really great figure if kids still sought him out years later.
It was a good video, as are his others. Looking forward to part 2 where he breaks down the figures present in the manosphere. I wonder if could serve as an effective short hand to enlighten some caught under the spell of the likes of Jordan Peterson et al
Watched this last week. Great video.
I think conversations like this are important. It's clear that much of space available for men to talk about social issues as they pertain to men and boys have been hijacked by toxic MRA types, misogynists and the "manosphere." But sometimes it can get lost that men and boys do need a safe space to have these conversations, in good faith, among each other and devoid of that toxicity.
I appreciate F. D. Signifier's channel for this reason, and I especially enjoyed the "group conversation" nature of this video. Some surprising faces, too.

I put the video description in quotes in the OP, i think that's enough
And i dont trust myself doing a good job of describing the full thing anyway
This is super evident when searching for parenting advice for men, too. It's so exceptionally toxic and falls into the same tropes. But definitely a hijacking/running off toxicity and not something that's intrinsic. Well, hopefully.
That zoom on on telling white people about white supremacy lmao
I love this guy's content. Good research and good communication.

I mean, Eren as an edge lord, sure. But the fascism bit is such a weird take...
"Sure looks like we're supposed to think fascism is good!"
Huh? Whah? You sure you've been paying attention?
It's true that while there is plenty of leftist content debunking or trashing on manosphere and misogynist content, but not really offering healthier alternatives for men seeking advice on life, dating, social skills, consent, sex, and other complex topics. That's why Noah Samson doing an impromptu livestream with Alice Cappelle on dating advice was a breath of fresh air.
Also safe spaces for men to talk about this stuff without getting radicalised into extreme right wing beliefs e.g. r/menslib.

FD is like the inverse of that one Austin tweet.
You ever see a take so good you immediately sub on Patreon

Thoroughly enjoyed both parts. Definitely agree that we can dunk on these spaces but also need to reach out and try to deradicalize and deprogram them.
