The Streamer "HH" Scandal Represents A Dangerous Convergence Of Misogyny And Nazism

[Celerity]

A livestream featuring Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Sneako, and other manosphere influencers praising Hitler illustrates the growing convergence of misogyny and neo-Nazism within mainstream online spaces. As these transnational influencer networks reach millions of young viewers, Nazism is increasingly folded into the manosphere culture, fueling violence against women and vulnerable communities both online and offline.

On January 17, 50,000 online viewers watched as several “manosphere” influencers, who built their reputations on violent misogyny, and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, threw Nazi salutes and sang along to a song by Kanye West (“Ye,” who apologized for his recent antisemitism) with the chorus “n***a Heil Hitler.” Besides Fuentes, there was far-right streamer Nico Kenn De Balinthazy (“Sneako”), self-avowed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, antisemitic influencer Amrou Fudl (“Myron Gaines”), Justin Waller, and new-to-the-scene “looksmaxxer” streamer Braden Peters, better known as “Clavicular.”

They livestreamed themselves partying to the pro-Hitler tune in both a party bus and the Vendome nightclub in Miami Beach. The backlash was immediate. Steven Meiner, Miami Beach’s mayor, described the influencers as “twisted individuals glorifying Hitler and the murder of millions.” Vendome Miami, the nightclub responsible for playing the song at the influencers’ behest, conducted an internal review and “permanently banned” the group from the venue, citing a “zero tolerance policy towards antisemitism or any other form of discrimination.”



The incident brought together some of the most prominent misogynists from around the world, including 39-year old Andrew Tate, who resides in Romania, and 20-year-old American Braden Peters (“Clavicular”). These transnational collaborations further entrench extremist beliefs, from the neo-Nazism that Nick Fuentes peddles to the rape apology of Andrew Tate, into the mainstream and the minds of young people who watch their content. The hateful ideologies they push can result in violence, continuing a disturbing trend of youths being involved in extremist rhetoric, organizations, and violent attacks against women and other marginalized groups.

The manosphere is a “loose network of communities that claim to address men’s struggles,” including dating and fitness, but often put the blame on, and subsequently promote hate towards, women. Frequently overlapping with the manosphere is the “incel” (“involuntary celibate”) movement, which purports that men are entitled to sex, and women purposefully deprive them of it. The manosphere’s influence on youth culture is clear — 73 percent of Generation Z (born 1997 to 2012) social media users have witnessed misogynistic content online, with half encountering it on a weekly basis.
