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)

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.
-
I'd definitely be interested in taking a look at those.

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.

Please call this what it is: terrorism.

It's not terrorism if men's victims are female.

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.

So terrifying

Reading that was beyond horrific and I only scrolled down a few pages. I couldn't go beyond that. <shivers>

@BethLynch2020 what the hell is wrong with these people? -
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.
