Social advice.

I'm worried my 12 y/o nephews dad is introducing him to manosphere bullshit. Anyone know how to counter it (as an aunt) when they're two states away?

I'm curious to hear some examples, I don't think I've ever heard this term

It's generally called red pill on Reddit.

Kevin Samuels, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, etc type.

Oof that's a shame, at 12 years old too damn.

No idea how often you see them or what kind of relationship you have with their parents, pretty tough to exert influence from afar though besides the other suggestion of sending them books and maintaining a positive influence as much as you can

Could you invite the kid out for a solo visit, or solo vacation? Maybe under the guise of giving the parents a break. And then you can subtlety or not subtlety talk about stuff.

Do you know why that realm might have so much salience with your nephew’s dad(brother (in-law?)?)? Knowing that probably would help yield a more effective strategy.

What interests has your nephew ever displayed?
