I Infiltrated the Manosphere

In July, I created an alias account on YouTube so that I could purposefully fall prey to the Manosphere. I watched endless podcasts, videos, and fan uploads of controversial stars: Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, The Brother Pill, and Fresh & Fit. I allowed YouTube to mold my new account based on these habits and watched as it ushered me further down the rabbit hole. With this study, I came to the following conclusions: there's a lot we know about the Manosphere, a lot we get wrong, and a lot we can do to rescue those within it.

Hi! I'm Shaniya but I use the moniker Shanspeare on Youtube. I'm 25, use they/she pronouns, and love all things pop culture! My channel has a lot going on: think Shakespeare meets Baz Luhrmann meets insufferable jester in a relevant but silly costume. I have a bachelor's in English Professional Writing (and basically Literary Analysis--long story) which aids me in the creation of my content. Above all, I wish to emphasize teachability and critical engagement through a fun lens.
