Can you blame them, though? I can’t think of a single person speaking for young men who is also widely accepted by the liberal left - or however you want to define the "good guys."

There are plenty of social media personalities with massive followings that specifically aim some or all of their contents at men with a positive vision of what men can be. I watch FD Signifier personally. There are also plenty of articles showcase positive male social media personalities with millions of followers. You should have done a 5 second Google search before saying something so easily debunked. You can't think of them because you are not looking.

Even here on Lemmy, anyone slightly deviating from the narrative is met with extreme hostility.

Welcome to social media, first day? You'll get that same extreme hostility in Andrew Tates comments if you deviate from being misogynistic.

It’s not that young men are naturally drawn to figures like Andrew Tate - they’re being pushed there.

You're right, just not in the way you're claiming. They are being pushed by social media algorithms that reward toxicity and simple answers. That's not the fault of the lefts "groupthink" it's on those companies.
