Internet comedian Howling Mutant joins Plausibly Deniable to talk about getting doxxed, becoming an accidental Goodreads influencer, the strange sociology of right-wing Twitter, journalism, media trust, AI art, gym culture, looksmaxxing, and why the internet turns every private embarrassment into public lore.
The conversation starts with the story of how Howling’s personal information was dug up and spread online, then veers into Goodreads power rankings, the decline of nerd culture, media narratives, “fell for it again” politics, Iran war arguments, anime pronunciation scandals, AI-generated comedy, recycling scams, posture, lifting, and bone-smashing aesthetics.Sponsored by:
