Original Reddit post

It seems like every guy I see with influence nowadays, from Clavicular to Nick Fuentes, is in some way bigoted or toxic. Are there any men, especially on social media, with widespread influence who embody a masculinity that is actually positive? Or is it the nature of social media algorithms to filter out those who fit this criteria, given that they are less likely to be extreme and contrarian. submitted by /u/Hot-Ride1646

    Are some Western men really that confused that they feel like they need to learn how to perform a role they were literally born to do? Or are they just lost in general? Many times when this question is asked I just think “all you have to do is be righteous and introspective enough to make changes, and the rest kinda comes by itself”. Never in my life did I ask myself if I was “masculine enough”, I truly don’t understand that question. More importantly, if we found a concise definition and list of attributes and you didn’t naturally embody some of them… do you really have to change it? Is it for moral reasons, for prosocial reasons, or for purely aesthetic reasons mixed with low self-esteem? 🤔

    Anyways, just from the people I’ve seen on YouTube today I could name a few that would fit the bill and are definitely better than the current alternatives: Mighty Mouse (hard working fighter and family man with a good attitude, very Rocky like), Norman Finkelstein (autistically righteous political activist), and that one guy who punished his then gf (now wife) with puns at IKEA (https://youtu.be/7T2oje4cYxw). 👍
