Summary
In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.
Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.
This cultural shift mirrored Trump’s election victory and reflected backlash against progressive gender norms.
Though some view these spaces as promoting traditional values, critics warn of growing misogyny and radicalization in the “manosphere.”
The rise of such spaces highlights deepening political polarization online.
I honestly feel bad for that woman’s journey regardless of her politics. She got famous for being open about her sexuality, and then a bunch of old men like Bill Maher slobbered all over her, and then she got suckered in to sponsoring a crypto scam that she obviously had no understanding of, and now she’s facing potential legal trouble for it.
She’s basically been taken advantage of every step of the way because she’s apparently not especially savvy enough to figure that out and really the only reason is that she’s conventionally attractive and frankly sexual. For the Bill Mahers and crypto bros, that was enough to exploit her in every way they could.
At some point, you need to hold the figurehead accountable for the scam so that other potential future figureheads will know to do some research before putting their name on illegal shit.
I already said if there is found reason to try her for her contribution to the crypto scam, that should happen.
I know. I’m saying that her attaching her name to it and endorsing it should be enough of a reason.
Okay, well I’m not a lawyer so I can’t say if that is enough of a reason, but if it is, so be it. That doesn’t change my empathy toward her.
(I’m not sure why so many people here think “I feel sorry for her” and “she should get tried for her crimes” can’t both be thoughts someone holds without any contradiction.)
