The Confessional: I was radicalised by the manosphere

Hello! Today, Belly sits down with 23-year-old Melbourne content creator, Flynn Martin. You might recognise Flynn’s name for a couple of reasons: his video where he asks the camera, “Is it okay to be a straight white male”? And also, that Yochi date viral TikTok. In this episode, Flynn confesses what it’s like to be at the centre of a social media pile-on, and just how everything changed for him in the aftermath of it all. Got a confession?

[upbeat music] Hello, welcome to The Confessional. This is the place where I, at the end of every month, the last Tuesday of every [laughs] month, I interview somebody in the podcast studio face-to-face about something they want to get off their chest. Today I'm chatting with 23-year-old Melbourne content creator Flynn Martin. You might recognize Flynn's name for a couple of reasons. If we're talking chronologically, Flynn first went completely viral for filming a since-deleted TikTok from the inside of his car where essentially he opens by asking, "Is it okay to be a straight white male?"
