How much overlap is there between manosphere and EDC/mall ninja crowds? Manosphere seems to have big European footprint, but in the US I suspect a 25-30% overlap. I suspect EDC world is more basic red-state types, while manosphere stuff is more coastal IDW types.

Is this a distinction without a difference? How are you defining "manosphere"? Bc EDC & tacticool are well & totally inside the circumference of a "manosphere" AFAICT

I think manosphere originated online in incel/redpill/PUAhate subcultures while EDC originated offline in redstate gun culture. I don’t think it’s a subset. In particular I don’t think the latter have trouble getting laid. They are more political than horny.

Okay, interesting! And (not looking to grill you or deep-dive, just curious) what's your data for these category creations? Any good lay-accessible articles?
