I've just watched the Louis Theroux documentary on the manosphere.
Have you seen it?
I've been hearing about it over this week and decided to see what it's all about.
Now that I've seen it, I'm confused but also not surprised and somewhat disappointed.
It's true that to get more views, you need to be controversial. That can come in many ways and in this case being rude, misogynistic, exist, in fact anything wrong or bed seems to count.
Some things I did agree with, others not so much.
I do agree with creating your own life, following your own dreams but I feel these guys on the programme were, in themselves, confused and actually only playing up to the camera - do as I say not as I do scenarios.
Success is not all about the money.
I'm still trying to unravel what I've seen but let me male this clear - we are all individuals who have a place in society. You need to understand your identity and live by your values.
Your beliefs run your world - you can change them, if need be, based on evidence.
These influencers seemed like the only thing was to make money regardless of their own views. It didn't matter what they said so long as the content was controversial enough to get the views.
It is worrying that these people are role models and don't take any responsibility to the outcomes they are creating, so long as they're making money.
Their content encourages purchasing, what is questionable, especially when what they sell goes against what they say. Confusing?!
One said that you have to be good at selling but morals and values still have their place. Surely?! Or can you see the comparison with sales people you know?
Carry on the conversation....
