The four-part SRF podcast "Alpha Boys" shows how young men get caught up in the manosphere. The series delves deep into digital communities where self-optimization and a dominance mindset tip into misogyny and violence. SRF Data analyzes over 120,000 TikTok videos for the series, while SRF Investigativ's research exposes Switzerland's first incel attack and gives a voice to those affected.
