The melanated Manosphere is an online community that consists of podcasts, online forums, and videos of men sharing their misogynoir, disdain, and utter hatred, so they bash women they can't attain to make up for their losses, and in turn, they attack melanated women and girls unprovoked, targeting them by saying brown women and girls are aggressive, masculine, and unruly, which removes the responsibility of supporting us from everyone who isn't us. There are many issues with the Melanin manosphere; a primary feature is the inclusion of eurocentric supremacist and misogynistic views because of their own social exclusion from eurocentric digital spaces, with the goal of ensuring everyone who watches their podcasts that melanated women are undesirable and a ‘hassle’ to interact with.
Melanated women are the most disrespected and unprotected women in America, and yet they're at the forefront of every historical movement regarding melanated men's unjust murders by the hands of corrupt policemen, marching at every rally in defense of melanated men and making sure they get justice, but when it's time to give the same attention to the melanated women, we get the justifications of our own murders by the men in our communities; they don't respect us, they never protect us, and because of that, laws will have to be passed in order to protect us.
Melanated manosphere continue to spew problematic rhetoric that others perceive to be true based on the spaces they occupy and contribute to as a collective, as well as the growing crisis of melanated femicide, which requires immediate attention. If we are to dismantle these systems of oppression and prevent the radicalization of melanated boys and men, we have to allow melanated women and girls to thrive and prosper.
