Modern Fiction's Male Audiences Push

The Clownfish TV hosts respond to a social media claim that men avoid fiction because they lack empathy. They challenge this idea, arguing that men have been pushed out of traditional fiction spaces by modern publishing trends, aggressive marketing, and content that increasingly ignores male interests. The video highlights how men still actively consume interactive fiction—especially video games and manga—which now generate far more revenue than the traditional book market.
The hosts also discuss the rise of “romantasy” and sexually explicit stories aimed at women, suggesting these trends alienate many male readers. They conclude that men don’t dislike stories; they simply reject modern fiction that dismisses or excludes them. The hosts also suggest that posts making controversial claims about men and fiction are often just engagement bait designed to profit from online conflict.
