      Incels differ in important ways from Men's Rights Activists. While both movements are misogynistic at their core, MRAs deploy a human rights framework to argue men are oppressed. Incels don't talk about rights, they just hate.

      Incel language is often explicitly racist & they can be especially focused on interracial relationships. That element of racial panic is prominent in Elliot Rodger's manifesto.

      There are a number of online destinations where incels gather and are radicalized. /pol/ on 4chan. r/incels on Reddit was popular before it was shutdown. They moved to r/braincels, but it's not as widely used. Also SlutHate, the forum where Elliot Rodger posted (formerly PUAHate)

      Incels often play out violent fantasies online. People who report on the community, like @DavidFutrelle, have been trying to warn us that more incels will turn those fantasies into reality. Even now they're talking about acid attacks & mass rapes.http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2018/04/24/incels-hail-toronto-van-driver-who-killed-10-as-a-new-elliot-rodger-talk-of-future-acid-attacks-and-mass-rapes/ …

      The path to radicalization for incels often starts with the Red Pill/Pick-Up Artist communities. They try to utilize the pseudo-scientific/dehumanizing seduction techniques, still can't get laid & become infuriated. That's the path Elliot Rodger went down.

      To clarify, the manosphere is a catch-all term that refers to a number of online male communities that overlap, branch off, interface & oppose each other in complicated ways. It includes pick-up artists, men's rights activists, incels, men going their own way etc.

      An important point: if Minassian was an incel & the author of that Facebook post, his attack should probably be described as terrorism, although the lone wolf variety. Incels have an ideology & the goal is to terrorize women & "normies."

      Incels & the broader manosphere are an important component of what we've come to think of as the alt-right (depending on your definition of that term). Misogyny is the most common gateway drug to other forms of hate.https://www.vox.com/culture/2016/12/14/13576192/alt-right-sexism-recruitment …

      There's a lot more to say on this topic, and we still don't have all the information about yesterday's attack, so I'll just end with a few recommendations for further reading.

      To better understand the rise of these toxic masculine online subcultures & how they interface with one another & the rest of the alt-right, @AngNagle's book "Kill All Normies" is an invaluable resource. https://www.amazon.ca/Kill-All-Normies-Culture-Alt-Right/dp/1785355430/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524591601&sr=8-1&keywords=kill+all+normies …

      4chan & the "ironic-but-not-really" brand of hatred it created is a big part of the incel story. For a primer on how that platform evolved, read @DaleBeran's essay.https://medium.com/@DaleBeran/4chan-the-skeleton-key-to-the-rise-of-trump-624e7cb798cb …

          To really understand incels & the manosphere, you have to dive into the archives of "We Hunted the Mammoth." @DavidFutrelle has been following this stuff for years.http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/

          For a more crowdsourced approach to understanding incel culture specifically, take a look at r/inceltears.https://www.reddit.com/r/IncelTears/

          I'd rather stick pins in my eyes thanks. I googled "incel" yesterday and the little bit i read convinced me the less I knew about them, the better I'd sleep. But thanks for the effort.

          4chan, especially /b/ is an anti reaction to political correctness. It's what Newton called an equal and opposite reaction. You can blame 4chan all you want but it's silly western society, esp. American society, has much bigger issues than a cheese ball website.

          You should probably watch this, regarding the rise of Trump. The real people responsible for Trump are Hillary and the DNC. 4chan is a trollfest. It always was. It has bad and good, it has Ultra left and Ultra right.https://youtu.be/GLG9g7BcjKs

          Peculiar that you use sexually violent language under the pretense of being liberal and you sound more like an alt-right bit. You got Trump elected.

          While it’s clear these men are terrifying, it’s irresponsible to blame them for the rise of Trump. That was the manosphere of the global corps and bankers who have devasted this country and our economy, as well their MSM and Clinton, who sabotaged a Bernie Sanders victory.
