Last week, the Guardian ran a surprisingly uncritical article on a new UK government report on the manosphere, which was itself surprisingly uncritical. The report, put forth by the UK’s official communications regulator Ofcom, claims, among other things, that its new research “challenge[s] the assumptions about the experiences and perceptions of individuals consuming manosphere content” and that many of these poor maligned fellows actually have “a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness,” which is a sentiment I’ve never encountered in the manosphere after 15 years of immersing myself in its shit.

So I’m working on a bigger piece on a recent report about incels, but in the meantime I found myself a little distracted by a thread on Twitter about harmful “Airport Books” — that is, those non-fiction books usually with one big and possibly very bad idea that are waiting to snare unwary passengers at the airport bookstore.

“Is Gender Dysphoria a Marxist Weapon Against Judeo-Christian Civilization?” asks man who doesn’t know how anything works

Political discourse on the right today often seems like little more than a battle of the buzzwords, with the victory going to whoever can stuff the most buzzwords into their proclamations, never mind what they might possibly mean.

The folks on the NoFapChristian subreddit are not exactly fans of Satan or his ongoing efforts to ruin their no-fap streaks by seducing them into looking at porn. But I haven’t seen any discussions of Satan and porn get quite as weird as the one I encountered there today.
