i wish this book had existed 10 years ago when i first began to engage online with this sort of discourse, because it would have saved me years of suffering. i've never really been open with this sort of stuff, but for a while because of the laughing at cringe to mra style content and some parts of alt-right stuff, ie issues with fourth wave feminism and feminism as a whole, engaging in fatphobic, transphobic behaviour online, and it's taken the decadeish since to alleviate myself of many of the behaviours and thought patterns that went with it. reading this book has only made me gladder of the decision to change, because i know if i had either maintained my previous path, or had began to discover myself online now, i have a bad feeling that i would have been the exact sort of person cappelle describes throughout the book.

stunning book, stunning content creator. a must-read
