Thoughts on new Louis Theroux Netflix documentary?

I found it interesting, but I wish it was a bit longer. I was amused at how big of losers those influencers really are. All they do is project this fantasy of happiness but they’re so insecure.

Just watched it yesterday. I found it pretty interesting. Although I didnt feel like it uncovered anything that wasn't already known about that world. As everyone is already overly exposed to alot of that. Maybe thats just me being a male.

I did like seeing it from an external lens though and seeing it peeled back. Not just the way they want you to view it.

Was funny how these "men" had to try and control the narrative out of fear he would be doing a hit peice on them. Doesnt really align eith their whole "not giving a fuck" what people think mentality and message.

Its good, but it could have been a lot longer. What got me is how the women men on the manosphere call regular woman are paid actors. Also how pathetic the guys are.

Yeah, I felt that it wasn't anything we didn't all now on some level. But I did appreciate that he got them to say on camera that it's all child exploitation/ grooming/ a grift. I hope the hypocrisy of these dudes engaging in vigilante justice (ie thug violence) against those they accuse of sex crimes usually ARE criminals themselves wasn't lost on the general audience- that point SHOULD have been front and center!

enjoyed the documentary, but it kinda convinced me that this cohort of influencers are slightly reluctantly trapped in the career they have created for themselves. The reward algorithms of social media have encouraged them to taper their personalities towards the mysoginistic bigoted nonsense we see presented but because the entire industry is predicated on projecting 'reality' they are never allowed to break character. (Until they've made enough money to disappear at least)

Hstikkytokky : Drug usage not covered in manosphere documentary.

I had a deep suspicion about manosphere men who behave like him in manosphere so I've been deep diving and he mentions it's casually about code words for drug usage

Anyway this video shows them openly talking about it and doing it

https://www.youtube.com/live/4HoZTj4Fq8g?si=5PLwpZBJBPxKOUF4 around 3hrs mark

I've got the video.

Basically in this video they pretend at the end it's a parody but if you watch so many of the lives you will see how they use manipulation

\* He heads butts and attacks random people then when he's approached he smiles and had lights

saw a live a victim of his confronted him in dubai for the 10k£ Harrison stole. Essentially hs pretends to me a trader and people send him money, idk if this is related. But he also sells courses in how to be sussessfull. Point is he admitted on his live to taking the money and not fulfilling their business deals. It's frightening how easy he can scam using his telegram.

\* his paid entourage covers his crimes because they're doing it to

\* he's so aggressive like when he get his friends to jump a suspect predator. Luckily Louis theroux called the police and got Harris taken away, the Asian short kid.

\* he pays his body guard to assault innocent guys who takes pics with him

\* you can hear some things he's team says because they try to conspire so much but you can hear it

\* all round he and his entourage reminds me of how teens behaved in school and got away by pulling victim card

\* in his videos he approached woman and tried to flirt by dragging them. The woman don't help themselves

\* he's smashed glass in a guy. He crashed a card. So much more none knows about.

* they have frequent snidy ways of putting the camera down to provoke our attack someone then capture it again.

he manages only fan girls accounts. He has a house for girls to film in. Who knows if he gets consent for filming certain things since there's so many intoxicated people in one place.
he was confronted by another guy in dubai but it wasn't clear in the live why. It seemed like he did something with someone's car.. He also scammed n3on by racking up the bill at a restaurant and his entire crew dipped.
he pays people in his stream to clip and post videos from his live. These people are ruthless.

My thought

\* what do young school age kids see in him.

\* why does he have so many young fans and foreign fans

\* why don't we address hard drug usage because I usually can look at someone and tell they use something. Can you really take an intoxicated person seriously.

\* "his videos I've watched. Marbella dubai magaluf he openly admits and talks about drug usage and actively use it

\* I cannot take people with toxic views seriously while being intoxicated

\* his videos prove he's broken multiple laws live and in camera.

This Documentary is Anti-Red Pill Propaganda.

Thought it was good but there’s other critical rp content out there that’s better

It wasn’t great in my opinion. Louis could have did a way better job getting into their childhood traumas and figuring out the root of why they are who they are. Just recording them and poking fun at their expense is no better than what they do to women on a daily basis. I would have preferred if he made them sit down and actually go through their past with him. Instead he just rode around in Justin Wallers Lambo and hung out with HS, Myron, Sneako, and the OnlyFans girls. It was a let down

I thought it was well-made and fairer than I expected. It didn't feel agenda-driven (unlike Adolescence) or editorially leading, the questions were genuine rather than gotcha journalism, and it largely let the subjects expose themselves. Most of them came across poorly. Justin Waller was the exception, he held himself relatively well. The standout moment for me was HS calling out the genocide, that was a legitimate point that landed aha.

Only thing I'd add is that interviewing Rollo Tomassi and putting him next to actual psychologists would've made for a fascinating segment.
