alpha idiots

Louis Theroux's documentary Inside the Manosphere is both fascinating and frustrating. It exposes a group of self-proclaimed "alpha" men who constantly preach that men must toughen up, become strong, attractive, and wealthy to succeed. They present themselves as guides to masculinity and independence.But the most interesting - and ironic - part is that many of these same figures are essentially legal pimps. Their businesses rely heavily on women to generate income for them, whether through content, dating coaching schemes, or other online ventures. For people who talk so much about male independence and strength, their financial model often depends on women's participation.Theroux's calm interviewing style lets the contradictions reveal themselves. The film ends up feeling less like a guide to masculinity and more like a portrait of ego, insecurity, and hypocrisy inside parts of the manosphere.

Informative but not revolutionary

I think this is my first Louis Theroux documentary. I've been hearing about this guy for years, doing hard-hitting documentaries. But you can't beat Netflix so this is how I get acquainted with him.This is not much of an analysis of the manosphere but direct exposure to it by following a series of personalities around. I had never heard of any of these guys before, how would I, apart from the Tates, but they are only mentioned and quoted here. So of course it's as toxic as you'd think it could be, and then some. Frankly these boys tire me out. I think it's a symptom of constantly being online and young, you lose all sense of reality and your perception is skewed and easily manipulated.Glad I'm middle aged, this stuff doesn't do anything for me. And not just because I'm a woman, the stuff targeted at women doesn't do much for me either.It's informative if not much else, it's not gonna change the world and certainly not the minds of red-pilled boys.

Welcome return for Theroux, but he needs to do very little to expose this culture

Honestly, I'll always take time out of my day to watch Louis Theroux, while I don't think he is the most ground breaking of journalists he is very likeable and to his credit always manages to talk about topics relevant. So I'm happy to see the man back on our screens. However, is this up there with some of his best work, not really.And that's taking nothing from Theroux, I still find his investigative topics interesting and he is fun to watch, but he has very little to do here. What I meen by that is it doesn't need Louis to make these guys look stupid, they do that all by themselves. And they can point fingers at Theroux all they like, and blame editing techniques that supposingly shine them in a bad light, but let's be honest, the only thing making these guys look ridiculous is the men themselves. Who in all honesty will eventually answer to the lifestyles they live, eventually they will all be deemed irrelevant, wether they like it or not, and they will ultimately be left with nothing, and that's almost inevitable. And deservingly so.As a documentary it's very much focused on the delusional supposed influencers and not really focused on the ramifications of their actions. There's a argument that the documentary could of raised questions on the actual effect of these guys by talking to the youth and women primarily, and I see that argument.Personally I've seen enough documentaries on this subject so going that route wouldn't really tell me something I didn't already know, obviously these guys who brainwash youths for their own financial gain have a negative impact on everyone around them, so I don't think their is much for me to learn about the ramifications of their actions.In conclusion, if you like Theroux, you'll enjoy seeing him back on the screen. But if you're wanting to learn about the dangers of these influencers, you may not learn all that much. I'm just happy to see Louis back on our screens, whose career will long outlast the morons he interviews in this special.
