[Music] These are representative depictions of the ideal traditional men. We've all seen them and, to some extent, even wish to imitate them in pop culture, art, and education. Individuals are confronted with images that convey specific values regarding gender roles. These expectations not only influence men's self-perception but also affect their social relationships and mental health. The manosphere, an all-group of men that promotes traditional gender values, promotes its optics as well. However, there is a great deal of irony and almost a certain adorableness in how they often fail to live up to the standards of the aesthetics of the manosphere. Great ass goes out with that loser Patrick bin. What a door. And the dangerous thing about overly emotional men is that they're danger. Thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice. While you are getting drunk and going to parties, I'm actually working on my business. I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich. I'm the Joker, baby. That's incredible ideal trad wife.

wants to have as many kids as H. What is a real of a man? I'm in touch with humanity post-alcohol, post-jokes, and post-me. Younger women are more likely to be attracted to men who show dark Triad traits. Remember, I'm 100 men holy [ __ ] they can't destroy what they don't know. Delete all social media, never post your achievements on social media. Child of divorce, give me a break. I'm going to destroy all you [ __ ] piece of [ __ ]. We could basically cut this video short and say everything that fits the cliché is the aesthetic, right? Muscular, rich, smoking, drinking, tattooed, sunglasses, womanizer. But what makes this topic so interesting, in my opinion, are the deviations from this ideal image compared to these male icons from pop culture who have a rougher, more authentic appearance. Alpha males of the manosphere often appear more groomed, superficial, staged, and cleaner. They are basically just playing dress-up. Think it's none of your business. I don't want

you to think I'm triggered by you. I'm not. I saw somebody say that, and I think that's interesting. I think you're annoying, but I'm not triggered. And everything they wear is tighter than spandex also, so look at the colors or the patterns. The intent is more Patrick Bateman-esque than rough, dirty Clint Eastwood-esque. And even then, Batman's character presents himself as an upper-class yuppie. These men fail to even mimic that style due to their misunderstanding of how different classes present themselves. They want to appear rich, but like the aesthetic understanding of how the rich actually look like. That looks cheap, not expensive. That look reminds me of one specific movement, though, the metrosexual aesthetic. Men are now getting in touch with their feminine side. The term metrosexuality was coined in the 1990s and describes men who challenge their traditional gender role by emphasizing their individuality and sense of fashion. An ironic, careful self-presentation could be seen as a desire to put themselves in the spotlight, to be desired.

and recognize a game of pretend. They want attention and validation. So what I'm also wondering is who do they want to be recognized by. That's gayer than gay sex. Their online content is filled with clichés. Look, even their logos and symbols they use are as generic as it gets. Quick, name an animal that's supposed to represent strong masculine men. Okay, um, maybe less cliché, even less. Jesus Christ, even when you watch their short-form video content from the sphere, you notice that they often use the same filter, a filter that cranks up the conscious levels to the extreme. I think this is meant to convey intensity, roughness, and a masculine aura, but they just can't help themselves. Sometimes there is even a blur filter added, giving them like flawless skin. This once again contradicts the rough and unpolished aesthetic of traditional masculinity. To showcase the unfiltered truth of the statements, they often use soundtracks that reinforce the whole thing. My definition of a man is someone that can slit a throat and hold a baby in the

same day. Some of the most masculine men you'll ever meet dark love to me is the world could ha this the world could be burning down and we be slow dancing in a burning room. And if I can't have love like that then I want love at all. So all my Emojis even Rose black heart rose. Real Love is holding hands with two skeletons. Real love is getting buried by each other. Real Love is she'll take a charge for you not that I would have some but she'd also kill for you. Real Love's dark bro trust me a theater kid like me recognizes other theater kids by the way when you see this setup right here with these text overlays and that filter you know that you're are watching a podcast with the greatest thinkers of our time like everything I'm saying is true. Did you know that the pilots of 911 were women you take the blue pill the story ends you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to leave you take the red pill you stay in

Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Then there is the so Matrix metaphor. Obesity comes from you Jews affecting our media. The manosphere is part of the red movement, a completely reactionary political ideology that aims to wake people up from the mainstream narrative. You know the Matrix is the Matrix, Matrix, Matrix. The Matrix, Matrix. The Matrix is trying to frame me, but God knows the truth. Was Hitler really bad? What's funny about that is that both directors of the Matrix are trans, and the Matrix itself can be understood as an allegory for the transgender experience, at least according to the directors themselves. Men in the sphere tend to idolize figures from pop culture besides classic Alpha Characters like John Wick, Thomas Shelby, Bruce Wayne, or Ryan Gosling. So-called edgelord characters enjoy a special appreciation, especially among incels. Edgelords are characters that stand out for their provocative, violent, rebellious, or nihilistic behavior, like Tyler Durden, Patrick Bateman, Homelander, Rick Sanchez, or Joker. I'm the

Joker lady, I think this video could go on forever. Like, I haven't even mentioned the aesthetic similarities to Fascism, like the fascist body. That would be a whole design study on its own. Overall, I just wanted to point out that through the exaggerated staging of men online, a hypocrisy I think is pretty obvious. Standards that, of course, cannot be maintained. And I'm not saying we should throw out all ideals. A strong, healthy body is important. I'm just saying, why don't we men just start questioning these expectations a bit more? Like, why do we even associate certain values with our gender identity? The people who they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, who they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach, and from whom they're willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence, and love they desire. Those are overwhelmingly other men. Where from women, they want devotion, service, and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic. It is man-loving slay.
