So, this music festival in the UK totally banned an influencer who was on that Louis Theroux documentary about the ‘manosphere.’ Apparently, their team reached out asking for free tickets, and the festival just said ‘no way’ – publicly! It’s kinda crazy how quickly things escalate these days.
In early March, Louis Theroux released a documentary on Netflix featuring interviews with several well-known figures associated with the ‘red pill’ online community, including Marlon Gaines, Sneako, and HSTikkyTokky.
The documentary has had a harsh impact, leading to Gaines’ ex-girlfriend, Angie, breaking up with him after Justin Theroux investigated their past relationship.
Following the release of the Netflix documentary, another person has faced public criticism. A music festival recently called out an influencer who was featured in the film.
Forbidden Forest bans streamer who appeared in ‘Manosphere’ documentary
On March 18th, the UK music festival Forbidden Forest shared a screenshot on Instagram of an email they received. The email was from a content creator’s team requesting free tickets to one of their events.
An email requested Artist Passes for a popular international streamer to attend the festival. Because of his large following, the request specified Artist Passes instead of general guestlist access to ensure his safety and keep him away from large crowds.
The sender asked for two photo and video passes and also requested permission to bring in professional filming equipment.
The response from Forbidden Forest was a firm “no.”
We received your request for tickets to Forbidden Forest 2026, but we will not be granting them. This is because the individual you mentioned is the subject of the Louis Theroux documentary, ‘Inside The Manosphere’.
Our festival aims to be a welcoming and safe environment for all. Because of harmful content shared online by , we are requesting that they do not attend Forbidden Forest.

The brand stated in the post’s caption that they enjoy collaborating with creators, but not this particular one, wishing them better success in the future.
The influencer’s name hasn’t been made public yet. Forbidden Forest blurred out all names to protect everyone’s privacy. But many online think it might be HSTikkyTokky, a British influencer who appeared in a documentary by Louis Theroux, because of a comment he supposedly left online.
“Can’t go to an event in the UK. So upset. What am I going to do now?” he said.
This isn’t the first time he’s been banned somewhere. After his documentary came out, HS posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was also no longer welcome at his favorite breakfast place, playfully saying he’s become “cancelled.”
This recent incident follows a similar situation where Piers Morgan abruptly ended an interview with HS after a contentious on-air disagreement.
