I could have sworn I heard someone digging into it and their pull back on DEI stuff was just the standard rebranding while not actually changing their ideological commitments.

But yeah, they're still gonna fuck you until you have to pirate your own tractor in order to repair it.

3D printers have gotten a lot better in the last couple years, you probably could print parts of a tractor.

I'm not willing to give "traditional masculinity" as a synonym for "manosphere." Even if they are trying to just use the manosphere, a word that used to be a bunch of specific niche groups, as a broad term for shit like "likes the UFC" or "uses Draftkings."

But a lot of that list is good to see, as you can name at least one major woke controversy behind most of them dropping.

The adding of the word manosphere is clearly the author editorializing to frame this as a negative

Its trying to tie it all to Andrew Tate, because he is the "core" of the manosphere in the Leftie media world, which means its all about misogyny and evil.

Despite of course that in the original incarnation of the "manosphere" that Tate would be hated by literally all the various warring factions. TRP would reject his faux nonsense, MGTOW would call him a simp, MRAs would see how far back he is pushing men, etc.

Yes, that's pretty much the case.

I would compare it to the portrayal of Ben Shapiro as the biggest alt-right person ever during the pre-trump years despite the fact that he's considered a lame duck at best if not outright controlled opposition by much of the right wing factions that have some population on this site, or to people using that one GGrevolt guy (Not Ethan Ralph) who got arrested for revenge porn as the face of the entirety of the Gamergate movement despite the fact that he hates gamers.

I do see some people discussing fears about Gen Alpha still looking up to Tate as an icon, but I feel that warrants it's own post.

Jee, I wonder why that is? It certainly couldnt have anything to do with Men deciding they want to be treated like Men again, or that there is an increasing amount of women who are starting to remember they like their men to be masculine.

Its like how victorias secret was losing money.. then they went literal full dei. Trannies, ugly and ugly poc. They lost even more money lol.

Women dont want to be associated with ugly shit. They want to look appealing and wanted. Men dont wanna be associated with faggoty tranny shit either. They want to look masuline and want things that can get them pussy.

Its also why games and anime that are male centric dominate and are successful. But as soon as they try to cater to "modern audience" or try to change the content to try to get female audience.. it 99% turns to shit.
