A close friend of mine fell into the manosphere rabbit hole after he broke up with his girlfriend. I’ve been trying my best to help him out of it but I haven’t gotten anywhere. Is there anything I can do? Especially resources I could point him to, or resources that can help me develop a better deradicalization strategy would be very welcome.
FD Signifier on YouTube has a lot of manosphere content, but it is usually medium-long form.
To add to this: a lot of debunk videos aren’t made to appeal to people who are “in” the manosphere but more for the validation of people who are already out of it. They tend to mock and belittle the people in it as much as they do the perpetrators, which just pushes people to double down.
FD Signifier’s stuff isn’t like that at all. His tone is always patient and open.
Man worked in dealing with boys in the ghetto; think he was deadass a teacher before in some way or another-- man’s whole angle seems to be giving those of us on the outside the tools to start disassembling that kind of manosphere garb. Professor Odi’s also a good pick; I don’t have near as good a gauge for him yet cause it also like-- he spits good anti-manosphere material, but he’s also got this whole kinda ‘selling courses’ bit he does that Iunno how I feel about that just yet
