    Can I ask why everyone dislikes him without getting downvoted to the bottom of loch ness?

    I listened to a few videos, and what he says seems to make sense. Are there videos where he completely says fucked up things?

      He is imo largely responsible for the alt-right manosphere and all that misogynistic crap that has plagued society the last 15 years.

        Can you link a video where he says those things? Its about men and women then?

        I asked chat gpt and I understand now. Its a movement that opposes feminism. Im not American and I dont follow politics so maybe everyone knows this but I just havent come across it myself.

        1. “Alt-right.” Short for alternative right. It began around 2010 as a loose coalition rejecting mainstream conservatism in the United States. Early figures used the term to distance themselves from traditional Republican politics while promoting ideas around ethnic nationalism, “Western civilization,” and opposition to feminism and immigration. The ideology draws from far-right, white-identitarian, and sometimes explicitly racist or antisemitic thought. Its online presence flourished through imageboards (4chan, 8chan), blogs, and later social media.

        2. “Manosphere.” An online network of forums, YouTube channels, and influencers focused on men’s issues, often framed in opposition to feminism. Inside it are sub-groups: – Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) who claim legal or social bias against men. – Pickup Artists (PUAs) teaching manipulative dating tactics. – Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) rejecting relationships with women entirely. – Incel communities blaming women for sexual frustration.

        While some participants discuss legitimate gender issues, the discourse commonly devolves into resentment toward women and social hierarchies based on dominance.

        1. Where they overlap. The alt-right manosphere is the intersection—when gender resentment fuses with ethnonationalist or authoritarian politics. These spaces frame feminism and multiculturalism as forces destroying “traditional” male and Western dominance. Influencers often use pseudoscientific evolutionary rhetoric, meme culture, and irony to normalize reactionary ideas.

          No, sorry I don’t keep that information on me. There’s nearly 20 years of criticism of him, I’m sure typing his name and “reddit” would find many posts explaining the many problems with him.

            Yeah I can find it. I checked his channel and I actually ended up watching a video about aliens since it was just more interesting.

            Im really not very interested in anything where people are fighting eachother online. Life is short and I dont plan to spend it fighting people.

              Okay, but just know that his online actions have lead to many of the offline actions we are seeing today.

              I hope you don’t become a victim to the effects of his hatespew.

      In short he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, confidently spreads lies and misinformation, insists that trans folks are destroying the world, buries good faith debate in bullshit semantic circles, and cries like a baby when anyone calls him out on his bullshit.

      This video lays it out nicely:
