The Alt Reality Lexicon is a lexicon of neologisms that helps the demystification and clarification of the language used by two prominent far-right online subcultures: the Alt-Right and the Manosphere by translating jargon to common language. In order to keep conversing about our differences the editors of the lexicon build a door in the walls of the echo chamber to open it up to a broader audience.
Every key point in the ideology of online subcultures is mirrored in their expressions, their aesthetic, behavior and in their vocabulary. To gain a deeper understanding of the views of the online far-right it is key to be able to understand their language.
