Hello all, I am a student in linguistics researching contemporary language trends on social media. I think I have noticed in recent years more (non-incel) people using language or making references that I had believed originated in manosphere/red pill spaces. I am not an expert on the history of these spaces and ideologies, though, so I am wondering to hear some other opinions on this.
It overall seems to me that it is mainstream to know about things like looksmaxxing which (I believe) originated in red pill spaces. For example, two years ago I was teaching middle school and all the students were into mewing and dragging their finger along their jaws.
I am curious to hear your perspectives on the terms "high value woman" and "high value man." These phrases are showing up frequently in women's dating advice tiktoks. Do you have the sense that speaking about value in dating like this originated online in red pill spaces? Thanks for your feedback! Let me know of any other red pill language/ideology you've noticed has been picked up in popular culture.
