About this episode
Flynn Martin discusses his experiences with social media backlash and radicalisation 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?
