Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should care
A growing number of incels are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). That should concern us all.

And I imagine Joe Rogan didn't start his career by immediately getting ripped and doing steroids.
I just don't really think something as simple as taking judo classes is really going to do much to tackle a problem that likely started at the socioeconomic scale.
A large part of conservative propaganda is telling individuals that cleaning their room or working out will solve their problems. When in reality the problems are much more complex and likely systemic in nature.

I think a role model of positive masculinity is a good place to start.

Right, but what about being a judo instructor makes you automatically a positive masculine role model? Steven Seagal instructs aikido an even less aggressive martial arts and he's a giant piece of shit.
Nothing automatically makes someone a good role model obviously, but going through a program like Judo teaches you a lot of things like being humble.
I'd actually contrast that to supposedly softer martial arts like aikido where you don't actually train with resistance and therefore don't get that humbling effect that I was talking about.
I think you can experience some humbling events, but teaching people to be humble isn't exactly the goal of any of the martial arts. Lots of people just end up learning how to be more effective at violence. I used to do some amateur boxing, and I wouldn't really claim a lot of the guys I boxed with to be especially humble. Lots of contact sports has a lot of ego involved in it.
