I saw this study a while ago, and while I think it's pretty heavily BS, it did make me wonder: for how many women is being a Rogan listener attractive, versus how many women is being a communist attractive? I cannot name a single woman who would be more interested in someone if she knew they listened to the Dumb Guy Enables Fascism show, but I can name many who would be more interested and comfortable with someone who self-identifies as a communist.
So say 70% of women find being a communist unattractive and 70%, find listening to Rogan unattractive but then 20% find being a communist attractive vs none find listening to Rogan attractive? That’s an answer I’d believe.
I know like 2 women who are joe rogan defenders and they're both about 50 and terf-adjacent if not terfs themselves, and run in a circle that I would describe as "former radlibs" (people who live a sort of bohemian lifestyle but whose politics are stuck in early 2000s radlib-dom and for many of them, regressing in the face of social change)
Yeah it's gotta be this. Polarizing and "hated by everyone who has an opinion about it" are different but if you only measure negative reactions they look ~~different~~ the same.

I mean, I'm not into men so I'm probably not the type of woman they're trying to poll, but I'm definitely... being a communist in and of itself won't make someone I wasn't already interested in attractive to me, but I do feel more attracted to a cute girl who's also a commie.
