Netflix's Adolescence is great! But, not perfect. It's an interesting catalyst for conversation.
It dives into the complexities of masculinity and the influence of online spaces on young people. There's been a lot of discourse on it, but let's talk about it!
Be it Andrew Tate's influence, the manosphere, and how modern culture shapes men's self-perception and their relationships with women.
Let’s rethink how we discuss masculinity, the influences that shape it and how community and culture may play a bigger role in normalised misogyny than we may care to admit.

New here?
I cover media and discussion topics from a black leftist lens framed around The Boondocks, black identity and a range of nerdy stuff I'm into. In my spare time, I supply food for a foodbank, infrequently attend an afro diaspora community garden and I'm developing a black indie video game called NIXIE.
If any of that sounds cool or interesting, keep in the loop. Or don't.
I probably don't care.
