    I'm actually happy he never interviewed the Tates. This somehow made them seem irrelevant, which I love!

      @GeekGamer666 Month ago +47

      They refused to be on it. First they asked to be paid for the interview, which Theroux refused, and then they used their Google search results as justification to say Theroux wasn't relevant any longer. **snort laugh** Edited to add, I also love how irrelevant it made them seem.

      We see eniugh of the., we have heard all that they have to say, we know what they do.. so, yiu are so right! Makes tgem seem.. because they are.. irrelevant. Their moment is over. Theyll need to reinvent now. Their next thing will probably be feigning being sorry and seeing the error of their ways

      They’ve always been irrelevant, woke lefties just didn’t have anything to grasp to so they decided to focus on this “misogyny” epidemic that doesn’t really exist rather than do anything productive like go after the grooming gangs you have in the UK.

      1 that's literally an interview style.
      2 you can do this with any sub-culture or movement, just film them for 5-10 hours then clip the weirdest or awkwardest or craziest statements. it's also telling who he picked to represent manosphere. sneako did homo porn, probably not straight. myron gaines is an actual fed who worked for dhs and federal government, both now pushing questionable anti-semetic slop online.

      No.
      It would be one thing if Louis Theroux was just kind of a quiet man, which he is entitled to be, but being a cuck, being a kapo to his own gender, selling out his own gender to rehab his image after Jimmy Saville (who was a friend of his, look this up), that's not really healthy masculinity as far as I can see.
      Also the term "toxic masculinity"...I think its a term feminists created to attack men and masculinity. I'm not sure I'm a fan of this term, in the sense of, it comes with connotations and implied assumptions I'm not sure I agree with or that I think are correct.

    Romesh is way better at interviewing than he realises. This is a winning format already, because he creates an atmosphere in the room where everyone is having fun. It’s that perfect combination of humour and the freedom to go absolutely anywhere and guests to talk about absolutely anything. It’s convivial but the conversation is also unpredictable enough to be exciting.

      I agree but I’d like to be more specific. He’s a natural podcaster. Podscasting is much more extensive ‘conversation’ than a half-hour ‘interrogation’, including the odd mutual tease, the odd deep-dive, having a laugh, and allowing the other person asking the host a question, etc. He does all of this very well and seems entirely at ease doing it.

    In the documentary I really wish Louis had spoken to the women who had chosen to appear on Fresh & Fit to get humiliated how much were they paid, why did they do it? Did they regret it etc. And there needed to be more discussion on the impact of these men on women in general. Their voices were lost

    • @hannardee
      @hannardee 18 days ago +4

      I agree. I was so curious why these women would get on these humiliating shows. But what I got from the doc was that they could be cross-promoting their own business/OF and they don't care how they are treated as long as they get exposure.

    • @nickgotvyak5890
      @nickgotvyak5890 9 days ago +2

      There might have been more, but the conversations with women we did get are still chilling. The manager who got messaged mid conversation and was scared for her life, a girlfriend who was telling Louis that she expected something from her toxic boyfriend, the mum in the end who tried to get through to HS and annoyingly helped his son around the house, and you see here conflicted feelings of witnessing him being a complete shithrad but still caring.

    IMO HS talking down to Louis is on brand for Louis. He's an underdog, he steps into peoples worlds where he doesn't naturally belong and these people he meets act like they know everything and then they talk down to him all whilst the audience actually routes for and loves Louis. Also, we all see ourselves in him. All of us edit ourselves so it doesn't make Louis untrustworthy to us it just makes him more relatable.

    Watched Inside the Manosphere yesterday and Louis nailed it as usual. He always keeps his cool and with surgical precision asks the right questions at the right time. Those caricatures of a man he interviews in the documentary complain that Louis made them look bad simply cannot understand that they did it to themselves. Their incapability to self reflection is their worst enemy, They lack the capability to laugh to themselves, and make fun of themselves. They take their own BS too seriously and that´s what makes them ridiculous in front of everyone over 20. Louis on the other hand is the total opposite. Intelligent MAN with a sense of humour and who is not afraid to laugh to himself and does not take himself too seriously. Louis does not have to prove anything. Those BOYS in the documentary try to prove they are alpha men and fail so badly that it´s comical. Unfortunately some kids take them seriously.
    Anyway thank you Romesh for great interview. You got a new follower.

      Don't use IQ as a measure. Trump uses it. That is enough to turn me off. I say that as someone who did a test for mensa a few times and did well. It's not really any measure of how a person actually is or how they act in the real world. It doesn't account for so many things. I prefer to just call them non-curious twats generally. Sheep I suppose.

They are who I thought they were. Sad, insecure, men, disguised as alpha, masculine, etc.. it takes strength vulnerable gentleness, and kindness to be good. They have none of these virtues. They are very insecure, very immature and no awareness of those things to put too fine a point on it.

    As a woman I was laughing so hard when HS was acting like a little boy in front of his mother 😂 it was always clear to me that Louis had more masculinity than all of these men combined.. at some point I even thought this HS character had some slight mental handicap because I couldn't quite believe that they were so immature for their age. If they were 14 I would understand but they are way older and act like 14 year old boys.. it made me actually a bit sad and when I saw most of them lacked a father figure it all made sense to me.. I feel bad for them, I hope the grow out of this mentality and become real men who are able to love and be genuinely loved at some point ❤

    Watched the Manosphere one yesterday. Love Louis Theroux but the content of that documentary is horrid. I find it so concerning and made me very scared for the future of my daughter. Those guys belong in prison.

      ​@louB7321Definitely a must watch. Need to be aware of what is out there. The more we know, the more we can protect the people who are being targeted.

      They’re grifters, abusers and highly projecting their own insecurities. Very dangerous for anyone who buys into that though not realising they’re just being used

      ​@jesclifford88 you do realize that most of their content is them responding/commenting on things women post about men online? Thats the one aspect no ones talking about . Lol

    25:26 I love how they were 'owning' him by saying that he was owned by a certain group who controls everything. Despite doing a documentary exposing a certain country's 'oppression' of their neighbour.
