Manosphere

"Not to be confused with Men's Liberation"

Manosphere is a collection of Men's Rights Movements typically associated with the culturally right, and are characterized by a focus on masculinity, anti-feminism and extreme misogyny. Manosphere covers the men's rights movement, incels, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), pick-up artists and the fathers' rights movement and often have various off-shoots that vary significantally in ideology.

It is often politically associated with the Alt-Right. Manosphere movements are heavily implicated in online harassment and violence against women. However, some manosphere movements identify as left-wing, or even anti-sexists, although the validity of such claims is dubious.

Beliefs
While every group that conforms the Manosphere has their own set of ideologies, they have some overarching core beliefs:

"Traditional, Mainstream" Manosphere Thought (Redpill)

 * Modern society has been corrupted by [[File:Fem.png]] feminism.
 * There are inherent behavioural differences between men and women.
 * Men should adopt a hyper-masculine role and get women to submit to them.
 * The concept of the "taking the red pill", a metaphor borrowed from The Matrix, which refers to the "awakening" of men to the supposed reality that society is inherently misandrist and that men are oppressed by women. Conversely, not accepting this ideology is referred to as "taking the blue pill".
 * There are a variety of other "pills" not from The Matrix, such as the "black pill", which advocates for fatalism, defeatism for the unattractive, a deep hatred of women and the belief that they are hopeless in romance. Another one is the "purple pill", a leftist perspective on Manosphere ideology. Other less popular but still notable examples may be the "white pill" which is the opposite of the black pill, and advocates for rejecting the attracting the desires of women, and to instead seek self-betterment.
 * That men with mental, psychological or neurological disorders like Asperger's syndrome, Autism.png autism, avoidant personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, social anxiety disorder or other disorders that greatly affect social functioning will greatly harm a males ability to fit into society and especially to attract women. And because of that, they must therefore "ascend". Often by following certain "teachings" or taking courses made by gurus and pick-up artists on how "normal people attract women". Which in reality, often fall flat on actually making said men more socially normal, and if anything, usually only accelerates the social problems.
 * Men are divided into "alpha" and "beta" males, where "alphas" are sexually dominant and attractive, while "betas" are undesirable and unattractive. They also believe women gravitate towards "beta" males for financial benefits. And often believes that women especially attractive ones will keep getting banged by "chads" until they need financial stability which they will use the beta for before often divorcing them for Chad in the end and taking all of his money and kids.
 * That women (Especially white women, but depends on the region too) tend to be attracted to minorities, i.e. black males over white men. This theory is typically known as the "BBC" theory (Which won't be said here for obvious reasons).
 * That [[File:Fem.png]] feminism has largely if not only made women more powerful in society over average men, where they have both the advantages of Trad.png traditionalism and [[File:Prgess.png]] progressiveness and none of the disadvantages of both at the cost modern men who have increasingly less power in society and are often entirely disregarded. Therefore, [[File:Pat.png]] patriarchy simply does not exist, (or in the case of certain purple-pill arguments) if it does to some extent, it is merely perpetuated by the [[File: Mat-0.png]] powerful women in society due to their privileged position often not having to work nearly as hard as their husbands if at all and is therefore for men, fake power.
 * The power of men in society has been increasingly made weaker because of [[File:Prgess.png]] progressivism and men are slowly being phased out and being seen as "toxic". Therefore, supporting Rpop.png]] Right-wing Populists and [[File:Ultranat.png Ultranationalist figures is ideal, or in the very least, support politicians who openly pander and dog-whistle to their beliefs. often with the idea to eventually reform mainstream society back into how it was before, where men had great direct authority in both family roles and in society and where hard-core masculinity and Trad.png traditional values is seen as ideal. or alternatively, that mainstream politics is already too corrupted by [[File:Fem.png]] feminism and [[File:Prgess.png]] progressive ideology and is therefore not worth investing time in. With some manosphere individuals believing in political nihilism regarding the ideas of liberal democracy, some promoting the tenants of supporting a violent uprising of beta males against the [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] neo-liberal world-order.

Alternative Manosphere Thought
While the ideology of Manosphere is typically considered traditionally right-wing by nature, and is often considered such especially by  progressives and  feminists, this is not in fact true. In reality, the ideology typically is extremely decentralized and varies significantly in ideology and belief system for each splinter and just like other movements (like feminism) has many variations and off-shoots that are not apart of "traditional" manosphere thought.


 * With the popularity of the redpill being less popular in recent years, many alternative pill philosophies have been widely followed on the Manosphere. Another widely accepted Manosphere ideology online is that of the "Purplepill", a slightly more modern take on manosphere ideology based on a more left-leaning perspective. These "Purple-Pilled" movements tend to be syncretic political philosophies between traditional Manosphere thought and [[File:Menslib.png]] Men's Liberation ideas, although they still tend to generally have extremely negative views on not only most (if not All forms of) [[File:Fem.png]] feminism and intersectional anti-sexist movements, but specifically towards women in general. They also tend to be more so co-morbid with the "white pill" ideology, which is known as the opposite of the blackpill and promotes stoism, ignoring the interests of women and simply living for oneself regardless on their potential ability in the dating pool.
 * Akin to the above beliefs of purple-pill manosphere communities, some groups argue that men, especially the economically disadvantaged groups, such as the poor, minorities and people with mental disabilities or physical deformities are often inherently seen as ugly or unlovable by the hierarchies put in place by materialist [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] neo-liberal capitalist society, ensuring they in society are destined to be lonely and are put into a lower class who are feared by privileged women who often are always protected and given unfair privileges over their male counter-parts by the state, and are often defended by said state whenever they feel threatened which in practice, is used to justify things like police brutality against minorities and mentally disabled people to protect privileged white women from their fears of lower-class men they see as ugly, often personified and stereotyped as "creepy rapists". With most women being taught said stereotypes of men, and to believe that most (if not all men) they meet are like this thus making most women inherently at least on some subconscious level, overtly sexist, as well as classist, ableist and racist.
 * Some also use their own theories that are the inverse of things like the "BBC Theory", "JBW" (Just be white) theory or SEAmaxxing. Where women typically find white men more attractive than minorities and are often unattracted or even afraid of men who are non-white minorities. Because of this, a sexual revolution mostly if not entirely of lower-class men must take place against their supposed oppressors. Many purple-pill manosphere movements argue the modern feminist movement are inevitably corrupted by [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] neoliberalism, state liberalism and/or pink-capitalism and is therefore, just a tool of the system and is needed to be destroyed.
 * There are also certain [[File:Bix.png]] bisexual/pansexual manosphere communities that believe that healthy traditional male-women relationships are inherintly unrealistic in the modern era, and believe that things like dating other males who look more "effeminate", such as twinks or Femboy.png]]"femboys" are more ideal. Such examples could be [[File:Gay.png gaycel and rainbowcel communities although many other manosphere groups are explicitly anti-LGBT and see being LGBT+ or acting feminine as inherintly toxic or anti-male.
 * There also is to a minor extent, some incels who identify with the Trans.png "Trans" identity and are often refered to as  Trans.png "Trans-cels", many of which identify with the incel label due to a large portion of the population not having preferance towards them. However, much like Gay.png rainbowcels, [[File:Bix.png]] bicels etc. Are often greatly excluded by other incel communities, doubly so by right-leaning ones (especially considering that trans people often either identify as female when regarding MTF trans people, or biologically used to be/still is a female despite their male gender orientation regarding FTM trans people).
 * Ironically enough there are also a few open movements that have taken the manosphere template but re-alligned for women. A good example is the Radfem.png Femcel movement, who have also expressed their hate of appealing to mainstream male beauty standards and feel that they won't be loved. However, they typically are not considered to be "real incels" by most other incel/manosphere communities due to a founding Radfem.png Femcel reddit page (r/femcels) being removed by the founders because of the page being flooded with requests by male incels who were requesting relationships with them and the female users having to reject them for "not passing". Often citing that they only are "Incel" because they can't attract the type of men they find attractive rather than being upset that they can't attract men in general.

A lot of Western manosphere movements are heavily related to the alt-right, and  white nationalist movements, while some non-Western manosphere movements are related to  ethnic nationalists or  racial nationalist movements. Much like those movements, Manosphere groups are often racist and xenophobic. However, some do tolerate minorities, whether inside or outside their group. Some certain minority groups also may consider themselves as apart of certain manosphere communities such as self-identifying with the incel label, and often are referred to as "racialcels", and are named according to race or by stereotypes regarding their communities, often known individually as Blackcels,  Ricecels,  Currycels,  Redcels,  Kikecels etc. respectively. This also includes self-identifying incels based on their appearance, i.e. Shortcels, Fatcels, Wristcels, D!ckcels, Chincels, Acnecels etc. alongside with their psychological/neuro/mental/job status i.e. Autistcels/Aspergercels, PTSDcels,  NEETcels,  STEMcels etc. Certain groups also include some LGBT identities, usually  bisexuals and pansexuals with a very small community of incels being openly  trans. It would however be dishonest to say that these groups don't also to a certain degree tend to be excluded from the manosphere and incel mainstream due to the overt popularity in radical right-wing ideology and discriminatory beliefs among a majority of the manosphere population. (with certain exceptions made for many Ricecels who typically make up a relatively sizable portion of the incel and manosphere movements in both the Eastern and Western manosphere population)

One movement that stands out from the other Manosphere movements is the Fathers' rights movement, as it is not explicitly far-right or anti-feminist. However, the movement does contain a large amount of misogynists.

Personality and Behavior
Manosphere is often shown as a terminally online and a NEET. He enjoys watching "Feminists Owned" compilations, run YouTube channels, playing video games, reading comic books and manga, watching animated series (especially anime) and being constantly on social media. He is very bitter towards female ideologies, and has very few friends (if any at all). He is obsessed with his own appearance, trying to make himself sexually attractive to women to appear as an "alpha". He usually blames women for all of his problems. Obviously, he is very misogynistic and racist. He at times will act like he cares about minorities and poor people but (usually) does it as an excuse to justify his sexism against ALL women.

How to Draw
Masc_flag.svg Drawing Manosphere is fairly simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball,
 * 2) Fill the ball with white
 * 3) Draw a dark violet Mars symbol in the middle,
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!
