    Regarding the #Toronto attack: 1. The #incel are real. Why? Thomas Theorem. Even if 'they' were not a movement or a subject of social thought, now they are 'because they are real in their consequences'. So we need research (both at the social and psychological levels)

        2. We need to understand the relationship between incels and their social/cultural context. There are many 'involuntary celibate' men in Asian societies (Japan, China), so where is their violent/destructive behavior? Or is it expressed differently - for example suicides? #Toronto

        3. If incels self-define themselves as an '#identity', we are entering dark waters. Their own narrative will present them as 'victims' and their criminal acts will be framed as 'protest'. We need to address how discourses of victimization are used as an excuse to commit crimes.

        4. Unlawful forms of protest might be violent (such as graffiti, riots, destruction of property, etc.), but they could be 'justified' as 'acts of civil disobedience'. Not in the #Toronto case: Murder shouldn't be framed as political expression or dissent.

        5. Recent news about the "#incel movement" could have at least two dangerous side-effects: a) The emergence of copycats and b) Condoning of crime. Journalists and media should report about #Toronto aware of both risks.

        6. Journalist and media require some basic knowledge of criminology, gender studies and law (for examples, theories of harm) to inform the public about #Toronto and the so-called "#incel movement". This is an opportunity for #newsmaking criminology.

        7. Also, how do #incel men understand ‘sexual intercourse’: Is it an economic right (ruled by #scarcity, offer/demand, or a price (even a social price)? Or is it a “”natural”” right (or ‘political’)? How is this ‘social good’ different from other (unsatisfied) goods/commodities?

        8. What about #incel women and/or #incel gay men? How do they express their ‘frustrations’? The need to understand the construction of (toxic) masculinity for the #Toronto case is self-evident (especially if it is linked to other social constructs such as “#whiteness”.)
