      "incels" or "involuntary celibates” are a group of men on the internet who vent their sexual frustrations through rampant misogyny. They blame women for their misfortunes. Occasionally, this manifests offline. The 2014 UCSB shooter was an incel. He is lauded as a saint.

      The community is scrambling amidst all the bad press currently. Their subreddit (not the original since that was banned in Nov. for inciting violence) has pinned a post saying they don't support the violence in Toronto. This is a statement posted on their forumpic.twitter.com/kul0gWAjVZ

      Buuutttt, that’s not true. I’ve seen shit from people posting guidelines for being the most effective serial rapist, posts upon posts about how women should never have had rights, something about how women learning to read contributed to male “inceldom” read: persistent virginity

      There is rage against attractive men, who they call Chads, and attractive women dubbed Staceys. There is hatred for Chads, but also a begrudging respect, envy. Staceys are sluts and whores with high standards. Even women that aren't on the upper echelon of looks lust after Chads.

      Women are also referred to as “femoids” and “roasties.” Femoid is a nod to women having under-developed brains. They’re humanoid. Roasties refers to the myth that sex ruins a woman’s vagina. Women who have lots of sex, according to incels, have vaginas that look like roast beef.

      Still. They defend themselves, their community, their echo chamber. Yet, they don’t acknowledge that their entire existence is built on a foundation of misogyny. That the toxicity they spew day in and day out can lead to actual violence.

      And even then, when this violence occurs, they perpetuate the most extreme form of victim blaming. This is women's fault. If women stopped lusting after attractive men and paid attention to incels this wouldn't happen. An incel can only take so much before he snaps.

          Great investigations, great work! Groups like this freak me out, but I’m glad reporters like you are tracking them
