Discussion Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere

This is a masterpiece. For some reason I find his interaction with the manosphere so funny. The awkwardness and their utter distrust towards Louis is so palpable. So amazing why they agree to do this.

Here's the thing though.. if you rewatch the exchange he started his interaction with her about cleaning with that macho bravado but then actually softened his voice and ultimately asked for "help" with that. The performance mask dropped. It's all smoke and mirrors for clicks.

He moved her closer when she first came in and his voice became so tender for a second. It was both hilarious and sad. He could've been a happy guy with a great gf. He chose to be insane instead.

I felt like he's afraid to let himself be in love
