I’m just wondering why anyone decides to release a documentary about the Manosphere in 2026. As far as I can tell, the period when the Manosphere had any relevance was sometime between 2008-14. Since 2014 the defining fault line in the Culture War has been race, not sex, and most of the political attention the Manosphere might have otherwise been able to capture was swept up by Trump, who apparently has relatively little or no interest in gender politics. The PUA scene was already declining before the COVID lockdowns for various reasons and seems to have completely died off since then. Andrew Tate, as far as I know, is simply rehashing a dumbed-down version of arguments you could find on any of the dozens of Red Pill sites that existed back in 2013 or so.
