Screenshots from some incel (“involuntary celibate”) board.
People online tend to infantilize misogynists online, as “lonely young men” who are just frustrated. If you look at the communities themselves (which I don’t recommend doing directly – instead check out “We hunted the Mammoth” a blog that reports on manoshere communities)
The whole “incel” idea is centered around hatred of women. They are not all young, they are not all going through a “phase” where they say these kinds of disgusting things as “edgy jokes”.
These communities are dangerous, especially to people who are vulnerable.
incel has become a terrorist group and should be categorized as one
old rapists training young rapists
after the Toronto attack, mainstream liberal news outlets are caping for incels
“the vast majority are non-violent”
“these young men are deeply troubled”
“the incel community provides these poor young men with emotional support”
make no mistake: if they were predominantly black or brown, they would be called terrorists
