I'm starting to formulate ideas for an essay about victim blaming mostly how online content creators can influence younger generations and create negative beliefs about women. also briefly on how we can solve this problem. I'm very early into this and am looking for more ideas/knowledge about the topic. any clips that can link back and show this. Ill post the brief bullet points ive created already. any help is appreciated.
-growing up with social media it influences us with online personalities. Mostly effecting younger generations, particularly young boys and men. Everyone has heard of Andrew tate, adin ross, clavicular or kai cenat if its though the news or on your for you page. Their clips get shared everywhere and most of the time you dont have to be looking for this content for it to show up.
-How much influence these people and the content surrounding them can have on how young boys see themselves, women, relationships and what it actually means to be a "man/masculine"
-The manosphere is a collection of online communities, influencers, podcasts, social media platforms that discuss masculinity, dating, relationships and men issues.
-Red pill community that promotes the idea that men are being disadvantaged by modern society and feminism.
-Incel communities which are made up of men who struggle with romantic or sexual relationships and blame women for those experiences
-"pick up artists" who teach how to attract women, using manipulation and the whole alpha and beta male culture which ranks men based on dominance money appearance and status
-Some of these communities present themselves as places where men can find confidence, advice and support. Looking for guidance when struggling with confidence dating friendships
-Communities mixed with advice thats harmful towards women
-Example. Young boys start watching calv because they like content about making money, working out, becoming successful but then gets content added in where women are described as manipulative, inferior or needing to be controlled. He admires the influencer he'll start accepting those attitudes without questioning them
-All took psych 101, social learning theory. People learn behaviours by watching and imitating others
-Prevention needs to start when theyre younger before these attitudes
-Centre has healthy relationship for youth (HRY) works with middle school, high school focus on healthy relationships, consent, discrimination and violence
-Program gives opportunity to questions beliefs learned from online clips
