      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/

          If you’d like to interview someone who has been false flagging on /r9k/ as an incel for years I’m your guy. I’ve harvested over 3000 replies.

          Thank you for this informative thread. Scary stuff. I first heard of incels on Commentocracy (he reads the really whiny/elitist comments you often see on video game forums as an 18th century aristocrat).https://youtu.be/lxyGKgTKYUM

          Video game culture in general is pretty toxic & full of misogyny. I can't say I'm terribly surprised that incels would be drawn to it & blame women for "ruining" video games for them too.

          Honestly I think online gaming is likely most young men's first exposure to this world.

          I believe that. I just read some of the article links provided. A lot of it grew from 4chan and subsequently Gamergate. Escapism gone horribly wrong.

          Correct. It's a hate crime, don't try to "white" wash it.

          Don't think an Arshy Mann would try to whitewash it either ways as a poc. But yes, I think it's important to mention the word terrorism.

          Quite a lot I'm afraid. Take a lonely, angry, self-insulating dude who blames women for his inability to get laid, mix-well with white supremacists and MRAs online, feeding off each other, convinced their view is correct/justified, spit out a violent vengeance seeking killer.
