Hc N @RT04263181 13h Interesting how social media, role modelling and insecurity are crossing paths in this documentary which boils down to economics and the belief that the more money you have, the more content you will be, all grounded in controversial content. See more C N @RT72751533 2d He starts with his preconceived personal biases about this topic. And then creates a fake documentary cherry picking anything he can to prove his preconceived biases. Makes zero attempt at even superficially exploring anything beyond that. Complete garbage fake documentary. See more George O @RT24312948 6d A missed opportunity to actually expose the damage of negative role models on young men. There was no exploration of the impact of the status quo as well as no suggestion of solutions. He should’ve spent time with people negatively affected but that didn’t happen. Instead, the filmmaker tried to expose the influencers as fraudulent financially, and failed. See more Mahdi T @FilmLover32 6d The whole thing felt like it was building toward something deeper, but instead it played out like an MTV Cribs episode for misogynists. The doc confirms what we already know, the manosphere operates like a cult that preys on vulnerable misdirected men. Overall, it felt rushed and underdeveloped. There’s no serious acknowledgment of how societal shifts feed into this pipeline of angry men. That context matters, and skipping it makes the whole thing feel incomplete. It ends up feeling like everyone’s a villain including the "objective" journalist lens we’re supposed to trust. Louis Theroux only seemed genuinely engaged when he was trying to debunk the Illuminati cabal. But when it came to the actual harm these spaces cause or the bigger systems behind them he stayed surface-level. It’s all corrupt. Overall, it had potential but ultimately said a lot without really saying anything new. See more Todd B @RT84089920 6d It starts off a bit smug with a tinge of gotcha journalism even though some of the content and statements are absurd and shallow, but to Theroux's credit, he lets the tables get turned on him at the end. They all admit it is a show for money aimed at young men. The doc would have been much better if it delved more into appeal of this content with young men. The Doc completely ignores societal changes that can explain why young men are attracted to this type of content.
