Some might even include Joe Rogan in the manosphere because he\u2019s a dude who primarily talks to other dudes, but let\u2019s reserve the label for those who would claim it \u2014 and Samuels was one of its early adopters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of brevity, I\u2019ll explain the manosphere based on my experience with it as a millennial male. Reddit now serves as the punching bag for most countercultural content, but it hasn\u2019t always been this way.\u00a0A once-popular, now-deleted subreddit was called the Red Pill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the Matrix film series, the subreddit existed to teach men how to protect themselves while dating modern women.\u00a0Inspired by people like the late comedian Patrice O\u2019Neal and an old pick-up artist named Rollo Tomassi, the forum had several hundred thousand subscribers. This about sums up what has spiraled into what many consider YouTube\u2019s \u201cmisogyny zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samuels, like all the other members of misogynist YouTube, started by gearing his content toward young men.\u00a0I can remember a Samuels video that came up in my feed years ago while I was watching old clips of Patrice O\u2019Neal; it was an innocuous video about cologne.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time, I could never imagine that in just a few short years during the Covid pandemic in 2020, this random black guy I remembered for some kitschy videos about what blazer to wear would become a viral sensation by telling a black woman she was \u201caverage at best\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VI6XWGKvUrE\">this video that catapulted Samuels to stardom<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>He quickly became perhaps the most polarizing figure in the black internet world.\u00a0And his audience didn\u2019t just stop at black people; as his show grew he began to field calls from men and women all over the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he decided to speak to women, Samuels became the manosphere\u2019s largest figure.\u00a0This was his innovation, and it worked because of his unique vantage point as a black Gen X male subjecting primarily black women to the pro-patriarchal social views that he believed were the foundation of marriages and communities.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Samuels\u2019 detractors came with all the vitriol one would expect, but he carried himself well through it all. Agree or disagree with his points, Samuels was a brave thinker and his content leaves an excellent legacy of one very interesting American.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Justin McClinton was born on the south side of Chicago.
