MYKE
Hacking the Manosphere
Lecture Performance Digital Culture Theatre & Performance
Online radicalisation in boys and men is real and carries fatal consequence. The attack on a Halle synagogue in 2019 was not the first indicator nor incident of its kind. How does online radicalisation of masculinity function? onlinetheater.live infiltrates anti-feminist TikTok-based networks with their proprietary video campaign. To do this, they seize the language and imagery employed by characters such as influencer Andrew Tate. Between dating tips, self-optimisation marketing and fantasies of male dominance, they weave counter-narratives against the prevailing image of masculinity. onlinetheater.live refers about this online experiment in a lecture performance.
