River Cole2026-06-24T17:12:00.000Z

yeah nah this manosphere stuff is just sad. Young lads getting fed garbage about being alpha and grinding. Just let them be kids, ffs.

These influencers are a cancer. Pushing 'looks money status' like that's all that matters. My little brother is obsessed with this crap and it's hard to watch.

Isla Cooper2026-06-24T18:21:00.000Z

Exactly. My bro is 14 and he's already quoting that lunatic. Scary stuff.

Reading this while having my morning coffee. Can't say I'm surprised. The algorithm feeds this stuff to boys and then we wonder why mental health is in the toilet.

Just another reason why parenting needs to step up. Stop giving kids iPads and actually talk to them.

River Cole2026-06-24T19:23:00.000Z

mate. Parents need to wake up. But the algorithm is designed to hook kids, it's a battle.

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T19:46:00.000Z

nah get stuffed. Schools can't compete with dopamine hits from these grifters.

bloody hell, not another article blaming 'the internet' for everything. Kids have always been impressionable, parents need to do their job instead of whinging.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-24T20:22:00.000Z

call but the content is designed to be addictive. It's not that simple.

Mason Young2026-06-24T20:01:00.000Z

Manosphere or not, boys need role models. Not Andrew Tate wannabes.

Sam North2026-06-24T20:17:00.000Z

It's not just boys. The whole 'grindset' mentality is toxic af. People need to chill and enjoy life.

Riley Scott2026-06-24T20:36:00.000Z

lol cope. Personal responsibility still exists.
