A breakdown of positive masculine representation in Celeste, Hades, and Mob Psycho 100. Toxic masculinity is the idea that there are toxic expectations for men in society. “Be strong, don’t cry, dominate the competition.” Putting this pressure on men hurts society at large. Although media can teach us a lot about how to alleviate these problems. Zagreus, Mob, and Theo, show us how to use masculinity in a positive way. Empowerment over isolation. Showing our feelings versus repressing them. Finding strength from the bonds we create. We need representation like this to show men that “it’s ok to be scared” -Madeline.

Great video. It’s crazy how much of our media is influenced by toxic masculinity and how much people don’t notice it
The mob psycho references are cool. Don't go full psycho, haha. Great video.
Another great video by very berry! Super interesting looking into the different sides of masculinity in media
