I’m almost a little disturbed that so many people didn’t know about the whole story behind “Incels” and how this is weaponised to radicalise men? We’ve been talking about this for years and you need to pay attention to this.http://nymag.com/selectall/2018/04/suspect-in-toronto-posts-about-incel-rebellion.html …

Looking for men who have these feelings and who are therefore more prone to radicalisation is something we need to incorporate into the fight against domestic terrorism - including hatred for other marginalised groups. Racism, homophobia... this all goes hand in hand.

And... it’s definitely something to look out for in our everyday lives. We can’t forget that either.

Alright, expanding on this to show you the seriousness of Incels as a hate group. CW: discussions of rape and sexual violence Elliot Roger was quite obviously an Incel as frequently went to forums that discussed those themes. Incels advocate for rape and murder there.

CW: discussions of rape If you truly want to understand those spaces, you need to have a look at how deeply misogynistic and violent they get. Read the following screenshots only if you can stomach it.pic.twitter.com/AY1Im7Lf2E

On the Incels website and in various forums, members straight-up advocate for rape. They argue that being denied sex because someone isn’t attracted to you is “reverse rape” and therefore “just as bad as actual rape”. They mention the MeToo movement as the driver behind this.

Furthermore, Incels has frequently voiced suggestions of state-incentives to force female virgins to have sex with male Incels to lessen their desires to go on a gun rampage. To them, the root cause is the denial of sexual intimacy. Twist your head around that.

Originally, the term Incels was coined by a woman in the 90s who started a support network for lonely people who were trying to overcome their lack of sexual intimacy, but she abandoned her efforts when the men in those groups demanded and degraded female Incels as a result.

When the original subreddit was banned, the Incels group was over 40k members strong. This is an epidemic that worships people like Elliot Rogers as martyrs for the cause. These places are cult-like and they are more organised than you think...

Someone I know fell into reading all that stuff and believing it. The mysogyny in it was so blatant and bizarre and they think it’s totally natural and normal and stop *listening* to anything else. They become completely blinded and skewed in their perspectives
