Hey! Its your favorite neighborhood snake again. I'm back from the trenches and have been doing some deep diving research into the sorts of trending media modern misogynists are consuming. I have some interesting things to feed back to you, that I think modern women should be made aware of as the manosphere continues to grow and spills out into real life.
Here is an up-to-date lowdown of red flags to watch out for in modern men. Namely the type of media manipulative wannabe 'alpha' men currently consume online.
As the saying goes in the Art of War :
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
This means that to avoid manipulative, abusive and extremist men and investing too much time in them- you must first get inside their head, understand the psychology of them, find what makes them tick/ drives them, what kind of media they consume and how they become radicalized against women, what types of media appeals to their biggest insecurities and inadequacies.
You must familiarize yourself with their mutual playbooks, influences and their main stomping ground. You must keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. I've sometimes kept suspected red pill scrotes as friends or played dumb fox just to pick their brains and let them expose themselves.
Its amazing the things they will spill due to their arrogance and assumptions that I'm some bimbo because I'm female. And these red pilled manosphere scrotes are far more common than you think- I've ran into quite a few IRL. I've seen women in relationships with them- who are non the wiser.
In order not to become a target and fall in love with them (or even worse, procreate with them!) - you must always stay 3 steps ahead and keep some emotional distance as you vet them.
You must keep up to date with the conversations they're having, the language and terminology they use, the people they follow and the tactics they're using because modern misogynists are always adapting, evolving and finding new ways to organize/manipulate us and disguise what they're doing and who they really are.
Many of them are going far more underground and turning to more insidious forms of emotional abuse as they know there's criminal consequences to themselves and their careers if they physically abuse us. Many of them are finding more ways to mirror the qualities of a HVM.
Now if some of you are new to the sub and are still in the dark about what the 'alt right/ manosphere' is (a collection of online misogynist communities- such as pick up artists, incels, red pillers, MGTOW on Reddit) here's some more background reading on the matter:

Given we live in an era that grants abusive men online anonymity and the ability to lie or withhold unflattering information about themselves on dating apps...modern women must follow their noses and take note of the Books, Podcasts, Influencers and Youtubers a man consumes and the people he follows on Social Media.
Most men are insanely stupid and arrogant, assuming all women are dumb pickmeisha's non the wiser to what they get up to - so they make this quite easy for you if you know what to look for. Quite often they will give themselves away in conversation, let their mask slip through certain lingo or fail to hide misogynistic media they consume online, as they assume you won't have a clue about it.
Regardless of whether they do hide these things, you will still pick up on how scripted/empty/awkward they are- their 'dread game', contempt for women and their forced 'mysteriousness'. Once you know their playbook- its quite easy to spot their games, and even predict them.
They can give you tell-tale insights into the minds of various predatory and dangerous men, their warped views on women/relationships and what they value- no matter what they claim or do on the contrary. I would also be especially wary of men who work in the Tech industry, who are getting far more insidious at hiding their footprints and leaving no trace in the digital world.
Those men, more than anybody- are far more tuned into digital trends and encrypted apps that can hide their nefarious activities, whether that be misogynist red pilled Redditors screeching at feminists in their spare time, or men hiding their sick twisted incestual porn fetishes.
For example:
Search 'The Rational Male' (a Red Pill bible) on Amazon, it will automatically bring up a list of related manosphere books on 'how to be a fucking alpha and make her submit bro'- write them down.
Next time you visit a mans house, have a browse at his book shelf. Maybe even write down the title of any books that look suspicious or weird to you- google search them later and find out what they're about. A mans bookshelf can give you invaluable information on his character. For example- if he's obsessed with nihilism, you can gather he's probably a bit of a morbid, depressing, self righteous asshole.
Next up: Podcasts- google search for the big misogynist manosphere man cave podcasts.
Bronze Aged Pervert (INCREDIBLY RACIST/SEXIST- MASSIVE RED FLAG HE'S PRACTICALLY A NAZI) and Joe Rogan are two big examples.

(Pay attention to men who claim modern diets are reducing their testosterone levels/feminizing men or just seem overly obsessed with their T counts).
Also look out for him idolizing or praising alt right women such as Lauren Southern and Lauren Chen and other supposedly alt right 'feminist's- he is trying to introduce you to them/brainwash you into a fascist femme trad wife.
The handbook posts project.
Anyone who wants to contribute to this project, please puts [Handbook Posts:] in their title so there's a distinction. Also tag @SayNad so that I can find them.
Thanks so much for the list! I am not so well-versed in media, and recognized a few of these from my scrotiest ex's playlist.
I'd add "Cherlamagne the god"(sorry if it was on the list and I missed it but don't see him) I believe the show he he had or maybe still has was called the breakfast club. He would cut off and interrupt any woman who I ever saw speak on the show. Also just a generally misogynist show.
I'd also say anime in general! I don't think I've known any guy who is into anime or is a self-proclaimed "nerd" who didn't show some seriously toxic traits. So I'd also approach with caution avid players/collectors of D&D, Magic the gathering, or comic books, twitch, video games.
Signal is a tough one. My friends and I use it for going to protests and what not. May also be used now to organize an abortion post roe.
Excellent post and great reminder to vet every aspect!
Would you say that a man being a fan of Haruki Murakami novels is a red flag? Not necessarily liking or reading them, but identifying themselves with the male protagonists seem like a red flag to me, because they're usually dull, unlikable pricks lol.
