Toxic online content is poisoning boys’ minds — Congress must respond

Article here. Someone please tell him that that show is a work of fiction. And also, the first amendment to the US Con'n doesn't allow Congress to regulate speech. Excerpt:

'The boys are targeted for content designed to stir anxieties about their ability to attract a woman. And white males are specifically swamped with defeatist attitudes about their chances of getting into college while competing with increasing numbers of educated women, minorities and immigrants.

The result is alienated and frustrated adolescent white teens, as well as lots of young males of color.

The reality behind the show is evident for young Americans, according to a recent essay in the Wall Street Journal. A student at a Chicago Catholic high school wrote that his male classmates celebrated when social media titans accused of sex crimes and human trafficking – the brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were recently allowed into the U.S.

“As online influencers with millions of followers, the Tate brothers are notoriously misogynistic and extravagantly wealthy,” wrote Eli Thompson, the high school senior. “Alpha dogs who are buff, rich and domineering, they promote a model of manhood that feels both backward and reassuring. If we follow their sexist, racist lead, they promise, we’ll be alphas too.”'

True, Tate is a full-on arse-hole who really no one should be listening to. But does that mean the law should forcibly silence him? No. Again, the 1A applies to us all or it applies to no one.
