The MGTOW Factor

Hello all, if you're not familiar with me from some of my other blogs or channels, my name is Fester, and I'm writing this post to let you know that I'm taking things in a new direction.  I've been a follower of online culture since the days of AOL 2.0, back when I was on a 28K dialup modem and a Packard Bell PC.  Over the last few years, this fertile landscape of web 2.0 enabled platforms has yielded a crop of some of the most robust online-originating culture that the world has ever seen, and the majority of these pieces of culture have revolved around men and boys, and the issues and entities that affect them.  The Men's Movement is truly remarkable in the way it contains information and a philosophy that is diametrically opposed to everything on the topic that the mainstream sources of academia and old media have ever said or written regarding it.  Against all odds, and despite every best effort of the social juggernaut that is Political Feminism, the manosphere has absolutely exploded on the scene, and continues so spread like wildfire through our digital networks as well as our social ones.

I Scour the Net and Check All the Best Sources on a Daily Basis Because this is What Interests Me

However this is a messy process, and there are several differing factions in this diaspora and they sometimes disagree in principal and as thus bitter clashes and regrettable actions sometimes come to pass.  One of the most controversial but fascinating factions of the Manosphere is definitely MGTOW.  I intend to throw my two cents in regarding MGTOW here on this blog, as well as with a new podcast I have in the works, tentatively called

THE MGTOW FACTOR

I plan on introducing the basics and then moving on to the more advanced topics as well as offering critique of the philosophy as I come to it.  I also plan on covering news and happenings relevant to the manosphere and MGTOW particularly, as well as keeping you abreast on the meta, that is the goings-on in the MGTOW community itself.  I will add my take on the conflicts and rivalries, and this will definitely be a good source for news if you'd like to keep up on the community, as I am quite familiar with all of it, and have a lot of experience myself with keeping up on things as a blogger in this fast paced world.  I will be bookmarking all the most relevant sites and am putting a feed together of all the MGTOW YouTuber's channels so I can let you know what the most noteworthy video and podcast contributions of the week are, since YouTube's old "subscription box" is all but defunked.

However, I do have a dog in this fight and I don't make any bones about it.  I care deeply about the sphere, the movement, and the people in it.  My covering of it will be tasteful, and any time I cover things that are a bit gossipy, I will do my best to be fair and to reach out to the individuals in question.

Anyways, I welcome you all to tune in, and also to give me any feedback regarding how you want this information delivered.  I also appreciate any tips on stories or news and will always keep you anonymous if you'd like, or plug you and credit you if you'd prefer the opposite.  I will be keeping notes through my daily life and working on about 2 quality posts a week, plus reactions to major things that may pop up between those.  I can be readily reached on Twitter @SpecialFester, and will do my best to respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks again,
