If I didn't post here I wouldn't know who any of them are. When Tate's name started getting thrown around a couple years ago I posted on one of the threads asking for a synopsis of who he was and got told that I live under a rock or that I'm faking not knowing who he was, lol.
It's just rank opportunism. They're desperate for their Horst Wessel. If it were Andrew Tate or Nick Fuentes, they'd be deifying them in the exact same way they're doing with Charlie Kirk now.
Insecure nerds and incels
Highly insecure dudes who blame not being able to get with/keep women on anything but the fact that they themselves suck. That and guys who want to live vicariously through some scumbag who bangs and mistreated young women/underage girls.
A lot of men unfortunately. Growing up in a world of constant castration has consequences. 40% of men in the US are raised by their mother, then they go to school to a female teacher who tells them they are an oppressive, patriarchal male; their masculinity is totally smothered and made out to be bad. Lack of positive male figures in men's lives has consequences, especially in the age of "boss girls."
I actually think there might be some truth to this, but I also believe you’re partly wrong since you seem to put the blame on the whole “boss girl” phenomenon.
The age of the boss girl, I think you are looking too narrowly at what I meant. There is little investment in young boys by society and plenty of investment in girls- even Obama recently talked about that being true, and how that mistake has brought consequences for young men and boys. Masculinity is bad but being a boss girl is good.
I see what you mean, and I actually agree with part of your point. But I think the bigger question we should be asking is "what does masculinity really mean?" Too often it’s reduced to a caricature of hyper-masculinity, especially among young men who grow up without solid role models.
