The History of the Manosphere and Gamergate. Exploring Online Harassment Campaigns

In this episode I delve into the history of the Manosphere. I also talk a little bit about Gamergate, which became the blueprint for future online harassment campaigns by the alt right and the MAGA movement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(ha- rassment_campaign) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Drinking-male-tears%3A-language%2C-the-manos- phere%2C-and-Marwick-Ca- plan/15d965ee33f874d586f50196d9faa1c7d- b2882aa

Fresh and Fit Demonetized on YouTube, A Conversation About Podcast Bros and Dating Coaches

Today I have special guest Expatriarch on the podcast to talk about how podcast bros and dating coaches are using lonely and disenfranchised men to make a profit. The red pill and manosphere teachings of these creators gives no kind of advice on creating healthy long term relationships or friendships with women or other men. Instead they teach coercive or manipulative tactics that serve only to foster shallow relationships that center only around sex. Fresh and Fit was recently demonetized by YouTube because of their misogynistic content. In Myron Gaines' book Why Women Deserve Less, he teaches that men have no control over their biological urges and that women are good for making sandwiches and providing sexual favors. It is my belief that these creators are ultimately damaging men's wellbeing and mental health, as they teach men not to take mental health seriously. This sets men up for failure in relationships and keeps them coming back to consume their con- tent. Red pill and manosphere propaganda creates a negative self fulfilling prophecy in a cult like environment that is hard to escape. Many of their beliefs are contradictory and keep men stuck in place.

The Manosphere and the Impact of Online Misogyny

In the first episode of season two, we talk about the manosphere and how it has become mainstream to bash women, feminists, and single mothers online. This is a broad overview of some of the many manosphere talking points that used to be hidden in the dark corners of the internet but have become everyday hassles thanks to misogyny influencers like Andrew Tate. Every woman knows a woman who has been bullied or harassed online by men parroting the same sexist and misogynistic ideas, and if you talk about subjects like abuse or violence against women or feminism, that increases your chances of being the target of an online harassment campaign.

The TikTok Advocate

Originally called The Indigo Queen Talks, this episode was first published August 18 2022 and details my personal experience with Reclaimingyourvoice and how she organized a harassment campaign against me for calling her out for lying about her credentials and platforming alleged domestic abuser Brian Carlsen. See tammytalksback on TikTok for more information about these individuals and their actions. This episode deals with certain subject matters that may be triggering for some listeners, including online abuse, cyberbullying, stalking, and thought of suicide. This is my own personal experience of cyberstalking and abuse by a group of people across social media platforms from the past nine months. The names of those involved have been changed.

Men & the Manosphere React to the Barbie Movie

In this episode I talk about the Barbie move and the reaction to it by men, conservative men, republican men, and the manosphere. I also include some personal anecdotes about situationships and dating in the past, and in current times. This was a fun episode to put together. I tried not to include many spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie.
