I remember coming across it in my research but for some reason I had doubts about its reliability. Can't for the life of me remember why now, though. GorillaWarfare(talk)01:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Manosphere has been associated with mass shootings etc. Really?
I've just made an edit & had it reverted for reasons I don't understand so thought I'd raise it here.
The article makes this rather extravagant claim (twice):
It has also been associated with online harassment as well as some mass shootings and other real-world acts of violence, and has been implicated in radicalizing men into committing violence against women.
As it stands (after reversion & editing) that claim is supported by a fruit salad of references. I've checked the ones available to me & read the abstracts of the others. My comclusion is:
None of the research cited supports the claim about mass shootings.
None of the research cited supports the claim about real-world violence.
The phrase "has been associated with" makes the claim essentially meaningless. One could make a similar claim about Santa Claus.
Likewise "has been implicated in"
The article as a whole has a political flavour rather than factual. Not what I'd like to see on Wikipedia.
