Good piece, but my only issue is " Incel was a joke but it’s very, very serious now and we should consider it no less of a problem than any other form of radicalisation." Violent misogyny isn't new. It isn't a problem "now", its been a problem for a very long timehttps://twitter.com/brokenbottleboy/status/989183894179270662 …
He's not even sure if it's an incel.https://twitter.com/DavidFutrelle/status/989555876787826690?s=19 …

"As I write this, it’s still not completely clear if Alek Minassian, the alleged driver of the van that killed ten pedestrians in Toronto yesterday in what appeared to be a very deliberate attack, is in fact a self-identified “involuntary celibate”"

Uh huh? And above that, "UPDATE: The CBC has confirmed with Facebook that Minassian’s post declaring himself an incel and hailing Elliot Rodger is real." Nice, uh, try? To..I'm not sure what you're trying to do, TBH.
Criticize Futrelle for responsible journalism? -
No, I was agreeing with you...

He who? If you're talking about Futrelle, this is an excellent example of "someone attempting to look smart, doesn't, because they commented before reading the article." Not Futrelle's fault he 1) wrote an article before some things were confirmed 2) Twitter doesn't auto update

I really like
@DavidFutrelle — wires seem to be crossed probably my fault for communicating badly. I apologise. @AngNagle is pretty cool on this topic too.
