As an older white woman, I have been mystified and horrified by what is going on with young men, so I think this is an important podcast, even it it's not really to my taste. I hope that you will include young men who are black and brown, who are rural and working class, and from different parts of the country.

At some point, either Cam or Dylan touched on a point that I have wondered about for a long time, which is our entertainment culture, and not just gaming. Superhero movies, every violent television show--they are all extremely Manichean. There's Right and Wrong, and the (usually) guy who is Right is justified in his use of violence to punish the Wrong. It may not be new to humans, especially Americans, but it's pervasive, and you can just look at the bulking up of humans and robots and superheroes to see that it's all part of conflating masculinity with anger, violence and emotional rather than rational behavior.
