Misogynistic Narratives in Everyday Online Spaces

A new report from jugendschutz.net shows how misogynistic and antifeminist narratives have become part of everyday life on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and others. Content ranges from seemingly harmless “jokes” to open hostility and violence against women, and is increasingly visible to young audiences.

Key findings:

  • Widespread misogyny, from “jokes” to open hostility and violence against women
  • Manosphere influencers promoting toxic masculinity and rigid gender roles
  • Incel narratives and violent fantasies moving from niche forums into mainstream youth culture
  • Tradwives, Christfluencers and others promoting submissive gender roles through lifestyle aesthetics
  • Far-right actors instrumentalising women’s rights to drive racist “remigration” messaging
  • Harmful narratives normalising inequality and affecting young people’s development

The report indicates a clear need for better platform moderation, stronger digital literacy, and increased awareness to protect young users from harmful gender ideologies.
