How Miami became the manosphere Mecca and why it might lose its crown after vile Andrew Tates arrest

Miami has become the manosphere’s Mecca, with the biggest names pushing toxic masculinity — including Andrew Tate, Clavicular, Myron Gaines, and Justin Waller — all congregating there.However, in the first sign their dream may be souring, it’s also where Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested last month for potential extradition to face rape charges in the UK.South Florida sources say the city’s a big draw for misogynist mega-voices due to its tolerance.“Miami is the kind of place where you don’t get a second chance — you get ten chances,” Greg Mirmellil, a realtor who recently helped Clavicular rent an apartment there, told The Post.“It’s very non-judgmental.”It’s also a major hub for pornographic production and OnlyFans models, meaning there is a steady stream of young women in the area, who manosphere influencers love to feature in their podcasts and streams — yet also denigrate and harass, for content and clicks.“There’s a lot of beautiful women, specifically sex workers, girls that do OnlyFans, or they’re in the sugar baby lifestyle, here in Miami,” resident and adult content creator Willow Ryder told The Post.Miami has long been a home to aspiring bikini models and influencers, but its adult production industry got a boost in 2020, as Florida had less strict COVID restrictions than other states.It’s become so widespread, local leases now frequently include clauses expressly banning the production of explicit material in luxury properties.One influencer notorious for featuring adult entertainers in his streams is Clavicular, who made a name for himself as a “looksmaxxer” by preaching that appearance is everything and going to any length to improve his own looks — including allegedly taking meth to lose weight.Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, has turned a Miami penthouse into his streaming quarters, where he films himself for hours a day before hitting the streets and clubs with a camera in tow.
