A new trailer from Fox News host Tucker Carlson on “The End of Men” is turning heads.
The promo for the new Tucker Carlson Originals documentary presents a bevy of shirtless, toned men wrestling, chopping wood, and shooting jugs of canola oil with a machine gun.

The documentary covers the “total collapse” of testosterone levels in men, which has been noted in medical studies but has been attributed to an aging population and other comorbidities.
The trailer also speaks of unexpected tough times that will inevitably create “men who are strong enough to survive” and “reestablish order.” Carlson and other Fox News hosts have lately referenced manliness and the idea that men are less “manly” now in various segments of their shows.
Carlson even suggested, falsely, in an interview that COVID-19 would emasculate men and that vaccine mandates in the US military were meant to weed out and dismiss men with high testosterone levels.
Twitter users were quick to suggest the trailer – which focuses a lot on the men’s bodies and the close contact between them – appeared homoerotic in nature.

“Star Trek” actor George Takei, who is openly gay, also reacted to the trailer.

Some users went so far as to edit the music to add songs like “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People, which has been widely interpreted to be a song about gay men.

Carlson’s last documentary sparked discussion after it misrepresented the Jan. 6 insurrection with dubious errors and fallacies.
A representative from Fox News did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
