Could be worse, my older brother had his fiance dump him and he went from feminist democrat to manosphere MAGA.

Depending on how far out he's gone, be kinder to him. I have had a few friends who went into the manosphere after their breakups. And, some of them came back. During our chats, one of the things that kept coming back was how easy the manosphere makes it to channel their anger.

For someone in an emotionally vulnerable state, it can get hard to figure out when they moved from, "Fuck her, I want to focus on myself" to "its all women's fault".

Tbf, couple of them really kept going deeper into that cesspool and now I have no contact with them ๐Ÿ˜…, so ymmv.

So after he lost he committed to losing? What would you call someone like that?

an Incel. The manosphere lures them in by making all the problems belong to the woman.

vulnerable, insecure

I know we all know what an incel is, but these words are true

They prey on insecurity. I would have been easy prey for those assholes if I was just a bit dumber.
