2022 was a cringy year for masculinity. In less than a year, a man I never heard of, was detained and arrested at the end of the year for child trafficking.

This man is Andrew Tate and his brother Tristian.

For those who are not familiar of these two, they are Pickup Artists, bragging about all their alleged wealth through apparent multi level marketing pyramid schemes to turn men more masculine and pick up girls. Their masculinity is very traditional… err toxic and they seek out men to be as macho as possible while getting the most softest, feminine, submissive girl in their lives. Whether or not they lean into Long Term Relationships is outside of his scope.

At the end of the year, after a Twitter feud with Greta Thunberg and Andrew Tate, Thunberg believe it or not is autistic (I never knew it formally till a week ago) and Tate, the allegedly typical guy didn’t get the sarcasm from the female autistic making a phony email address on climate change accusing him of “low dick energy”. It was fucking hilarious and after a video reply of Tate denying climate change, bragging about his wheels, a pizza box was delivered to him as the cameras rolled (of which Tate explicitly said to not recycle), the print of the pizza joint confirmed that Tate and his brother was in Romania and the police allegedly took him to custody for alleged sex trafficking.

Here’s my opinions on Tate. Why would Andrew go to Romania and admit their law enforcement is corrupt to also run a “cam” business with girls borderline legal to show themselves and then bitch about how the system he refers as “the Matrix” – that 1999 movie was out to get him and got cancelled across social media as well as the real world too?

Tate is not the only one, theres Donavan Sharpe, “Myron Gaines” from Fresh & Fit, Playing with Fire, and now you got more women defending hyper masculinity such as Sarah Dawn Moore, as well as the usual suspects like Courtney Cristine Ryan and Haveez from The Roommates is more of a beta male than the other folks, but when I would expose them on The Weekly Zoo, I thought he was more alpha.

It’s only getting worse, while these individuals lean conservative, you got the beta-male defenders on the left, Justin Baldoni and Liz Plank… oh wait, it’s just them and another dude too. But unlike the hyper-masculine, Baldoni and Plank are on the polar opposite, basically siding men to be extremely feminine, since Plank writes in her book that all caps/boldface feminism will save the planet (paraphrasing.)

PUAs were on the same level of cringe as the MGTOWs, the Men Going Their Own Way, while the latter had more attention. Mens Rights Advocates are the baseline amongst the cringe, but used to just be fringe, just trying to include good men in the court system. The the most scariest of the four is involuntarily celibious – better known as incels like the California shooter in 2014 and a mass shooting in Toronto a few years later. The original meaning of that word came from the days when USENET was the only social media in the early days of the commercial Internet; people who originally created the community may had some people of a MGTOW undertone, but not as bitter as all of them are in some way.

The polarization of this country and our society ranging from morally bankrupt tech companies exploiting outrage as sensationalism on steroids; to maximize “profits” of things the big tech has plenty of, and yet they layoff thousands still in a divided world. While Andrew Tate who has a high level of apparent narcissism; can’t take his own responsibility for the mess he makes; but preaches accountability to others, and sometimes gets really angry as a defensive maneuver; is only going to get so worse.

More men are single and lonely. Teenage boys are assumed they are looking at pornography, when in reality, fapping to unrealistic sex scenes may not be the major issue. Imagine kids today talking the way Andrew Tate talks in the classroom? You don’t think autistics are exposed to this crap? Imagine the video-talk in the classroom? How is that CIPA-compliant firewall handling the blocked searches on YouTube Kids?

This video I had seen on YouTube encapsulates the cringe and fringe podcasters of late into a nearly 2 hour video. These sentiments are not just some fad, it’s things that could lead into more Real-World-Problems if people do not speak up. Fresh & Fit, the Tate bros, Kevin Samuels have or had enhanced what I already had distrust in men, and it’s only going to get worse if things get even better.
