Because people who can't make their own discussions need an authority to follow. In the US, they turn to fox news, AM radio, or manosphere podcasts. Most of them have serious daddy issues.
What do you really want to say? You're trying very hard to say both sides are wrong without being labeled as a centrist.
"Toxic left wing" pundits haven't gotten their followers to storm the capital building or fly a plane into an irs biulding. If you're really mad someone has opinions on video games, install a 3rd party channel blocker for firefox.

Manosphere is a very specific thing. They're the Andrew Tate types. If it's a legitimate form of mental health or self care thing, it isn't Manosphere. Hell, if it's mental health, it's rarely branded as male orientated because it's genderless advice.
