Nah it’s Eddie McGuire
Yeah, I'm surprised a select group of footy nuffies are blind to the obvious cultural issues cropping up in highly-targeted, manipulative media and the way it's shaping a generation of young white men.

Not really, when one of the identifiers was engagement with concerning right-wing extremists. Just helping to narrow down potential target of the rumour.
You left out Nazis (pssst, they're everywhere).
He's one of many conservative commentators who started out relatively sensible then progressively became more radicalised and unhinged.
While campaigners like Andrew Tate are inspiring a reactionary wave of violent men who cannot differentiate between shifting power dynamics and oppression it is a genuine issue in society. Go ask a teacher what their year 7 boys are like.
The vast majority of their customers don't agree though. That's the issue (if there is one).
This. Entirely AFL optics.
You could say the world lost the plot just after 2018, and some people just don’t realise they did.
It was only 2-3 years ago now that boys at a regional Victorian primary school were made to turn to the girls beside them and 'apologise', essentially for the sin of existing as a male. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03...-of-sexual-assault-topic-at-assembly/13275492
It's actually nuanced because it's hard to define progressive v conservative ideas these days and there is an unprecedentedly wide gender split on political ideas. Younger men are definitely becoming more "conservative" though. The women are lagging and entering a peak thinking it's still 2020 but they will also turn in time, and has already in some places. I am around Zoomers constantly despite being Gen X. What we share in common is a view that the politics of Millennials and Boomers is tedious to the extreme. And those are the two groups carrying the torch for the most progressive ideas- with one about to age out and the other to enter an existential crisis over how cringe the rest of society finds their once celebrated views and performative opinions.
It's just the cycle of life. Australia trails basically every western society on all political trends so you may not have the impression that it is happening here, but if you lived in the US or Europe it would be ridiculous to even question the ascendancy of the right. Being driven by the disenfranchised youth. Left wing governments have had power for decades now and violated near every aspect of the social contract to the extent that the next generation will vote for whoever is the opposite of that. It's not even really a question of ideology it's purely self interest. Had Peter Dutton not been absolutely unelectable this might have been an interesting election, Liberals failed to tap into that energy though [glady because I hate them as much as I hate Labor].
Speaking about the election last night with someone 20 years younger than me and at that peak of female progressive ideology we ended up voting near identically. The only difference was she put liberal 7 and Labor 6, I put Liberal 6 and Labor 7. By her own admission if Dutton didn't make her skin crawl and Liberal had the nous to put a younger, more attractive male in his spot they could probably flip a lot of women. The uni party is too smart to do that though.
Young women are the most progressive group in American history. Young men are checked out
Gen Z is seeing a ‘historic reverse gender gap’, with women poised to outpace men across virtually every measure of political involvementwww.theguardian.com
And there it is. Rule 1: be attractive. Rule 2: don't be unattractive. And we're apparently the shallower sex....It's actually nuanced because it's hard to define progressive v conservative ideas these days and there is an unprecedentedly wide gender split on political ideas.
