Why are we so afraid of Joe Rogan and the "manosphere"? [View all]

Big deal he has a podcast. He's an ignorant meathead who helps make losers like Andrew Tate famous. Instead of trying to get on his podcast and walk on eggshells around him we need to ridicule him and be dismissive of his idiotic and uninformed views. Turn it on them all their "alpha male" bullshit needs to be mocked and the so called "manosphere" needs to also be ridiculed and belittled. We tried the carrot.
