Media recommendations about MRA culture

I was recently very interested and moved by reading “Stories About my Brother” by Prachi Gupta (thanks Countess Elena for sharing on the blue!). I’ve had similar but less extreme experiences with a family member getting into MRA culture, and realized I’d like to read more about it and especially about deradicalization and how people have left that subculture or similar subcultures. Looking for books, podcasts and research articles in particular!
Some things I’ve interacted with and liked
- Natalie Wynn’s ContraPoints videos (quite a few on related topics)
- Invisibilia episode “The End of Empathy,” philosophizes about empathy through the story of a guy who left incel culture
I’m interested in the psychology of MRA culture and in solution-focused ideas and writing. Not sure how much there is about MRAs in particular, so I’m also interested in information about deradicalization with similar groups like neo-Nazis. Podcasts are most ideal, books and research are great too!
Thanks, y’all!

The blog We Hunted The Mammoth has lots of leads and resources on this issue.
