Breaking Down "Spermageddon" Conspiracy Theories | Alternate Reality
Mar 24 2023
Is there a conspiracy to shrink men’s penises, destroy their sperm, and feminize America’s macho dudes? Well, a range of right-wing conspiracists claim “traditional men” are under attack, poisoned and brainwashed in a plan to weaken them. According to them, the vehicles of this alleged mass emasculation vary widely, from soy products to COVID vaccines.
Despite a lack of supporting evidence for these conspiracies against men, they might contain a grain of truth — believers point to studies in complicated, evolving areas of science, on the effects of chemicals like phthalates. While not a globalist plot, the use of endocrine-disrupting substances in packaging and industry could have a real impact on male reproductive health.
The Internet has ushered in an era of information overload, but it comes at a cost and ‘the truth’ is more subjective and contested than ever before. In ‘Alternate Reality’, we examine corners of the internet where conspiracy theories about the world have started to have a real impact on society.
