It is obviously essential to keep track of and discuss the spread of violent ideologies but it's been utterly horrifying watching journalists and pundits uncritically reproduce the misogynist logics behind this incel bullshit over the last few days.
Circulating and affirming the desire to subordinate women is the essential activity of the incel web. Theweleit's Masculine Fantasies saw the same thing at work in far-right of a century ago. Careless media is abbeting it now.
