How does masculinist radicalisation work online - where does it start, and how can it be stopped as early as possible? How does it link to extreme right-wing politics?
In the summer of 2024, onlinetheater.live infiltrated anti-feminist content bubbles on TikTok with a specially developed video campaign. Titled MYKE, it is based on a year-long research process offering insights into the world’s largest theatre, the internet, and asks you to take a deep dive into the ‘manosphere’ on TikTok.
During this workshop, Caspar Weimann and Luzia Oppermann will guide participants in practical exercises to build your own social media character inspired by the methods used in MYKE, equipping you with tools to resist digital authoritarianism.
Caspar Weimann is one of the initiators of the internet theatre onlinetheater.live and an expert on radicalisation within the online sphere.
