So what’s wrong with that besides his huge influence. He grew a following organically and the left did not build their own social media apparatus. Liberal figures ignore or avoid that area of social media in fear of backlash and association. Can’t remember if smn from Pod Save said it but in the last few weeks so many left wing pundits talked about if the left needs their own Joe Rogan but Joe Rogan was the left’s Joe Rogan until his slow shift into the right. Being audience captured by Maga, as well as 2 cases where the left bullied him that most definitely influenced him to further move to the right. 1) Horse-dewormer slander by CNN and intentionally putting a yellow filter on his video to make him look more sick. 2) MSNBC reporting that Rogan endored Kamala when he was talking about Tulsi.
The right wing media sphere, including many comedian podcasts (Andrew Schulz, Theo etc) and Bro podcasts are united in supporting the Republican Party. The left mostly ignored them in the last couple years and let it foster and grow like mold.

Are we really surprised that young men turned to alternative media when the mainstream media regard them in such contempt?
The most telling moment of Cathy Newman’s interview with Jordon Peterson six years ago was when she remarked, with an unmistakable tone of accusation, that most of his audience was young men. As though that was a worrisome – if not downright shameful – revelation.
I’m not a Jordan Peterson fan by a long shot. But that interview, and the response to it online (it basically catapulted Peterson to global prominence), is when I knew the jig was up with the mainstream media and a huge demographic cohort.

Basically. Joe Rogan isn’t the worst part of this manosphere stuff but he’s a similar problem. It’s just guys sitting around and whining about wokeness and DEI. There’s no solution or other options presented. It’s a bunch of podcasters and streamers acting like babies and making themselves victims over a bunch of stuff that doesn’t victimize them at all.
For people who care so much about their masculinity and for some reason other’s masculinity, they spend a bunch of time acting like little bitches. It’s probably not the best way to address it and might push them further away. But if we point out these voices in the manosphere sound as soft as 10 ply toilet paper, they may lose influence over guys that obsess over being tough.
