Abstract

This article introduces two forums, r/IncelExit and r/ExRedPill, that have organically emerged in recent years to provide a pathway out of the manosphere for men and boys. Based upon preliminary findings from a broader digital ethnography project, this piece highlights the potential benefits these spaces can offer individuals engaging with them. Furthermore, this article flags opportunities that exploring these forums can offer to academic inquiry on the nature of (de-)radicalisation within the manosphere, along with theoretical issues debated within the critical studies of men and masculinities field. It is also proposed that such forums could serve as an alternative space to provide socially alienated young men and boys with information emphasising the importance of consent and respectful relationships, away from formal school curricula. Finally, this article also discusses the potential effects that neoliberalism may have in shaping how young men approach dating.
r/IncelExit和r/ExRedPill的(去)自由基(上升)潜能
这篇文章介绍了两个论坛,r/IncelExit和r/ExRedPill,这两个论坛是近年来出现的,为男人和男孩提供了一条走出男性世界的途径。基于一个更广泛的数字人种学项目的初步发现,这篇文章强调了这些空间可以为参与其中的个人提供的潜在好处。此外,本文还指出了探索这些论坛的机会,这些论坛可以为学术研究提供关于管理圈内(去)激进化的本质的机会,以及在男性和男子气概领域的批判性研究中辩论的理论问题。还建议,这种论坛可以作为一个替代空间,向社会疏远的青年男子和男孩提供信息,强调同意和尊重关系的重要性,而不是在正式的学校课程中。最后,本文还讨论了新自由主义在塑造年轻人约会方式方面可能产生的潜在影响。

The journal promotes a conception of cultural studies rooted in lived experience. It adopts a broad-ranging view of cultural studies, charting new questions and new research, and mapping the transformation of cultural studies in the years to come. The journal publishes well theorized empirically grounded work from a variety of locations and disciplinary backgrounds. It engages in critical discussions on power relations concerning gender, class, sexual preference, ethnicity and other macro or micro sites of political struggle.
