Going to do a thread on incels because of the Toronto attack coming from observing the reddits of that community for a while TW because it's just all deeply horrible but important to understand because toxic masculinity is at the heart of 99% of these kinds of attacks
Much of the online incel world is spent whining about how some Chad, is getting all the Stacys, or how the Stacys are ignoring the incel for the Chads and how the incel deserves sex and isn't getting it and how this is very unfair and should be fixed

Which is petulant whining, the rest is very, very, very dark and awful. Oh and racist and transphobic to a huge degree

So there's a huge emphasis on purity and the belief that they are owed a "pure" Stacy and since they believe that all girls become sex crazed soon after puberty... yep, a lot of talk about how the ideal "girlfriend" is underage(I'm so sorry)

Also in order to maintain "purity" all sorts of horrible ideas are regularly recycled such as making women/girls government sex slaves to be assigned to men and other things I'd rather not describe because there isn't enough brain bleach

Also r*pe is talked about like it's good/no big deal. They don't view women as human so women have no right to consent/decline consent. Women are there to provide a man his "human right" to sex and r*pe is just obtaining your right

There are also detailed and horrible descriptions of fantasized murder of Stacys(never Chads, remember this is 100% about misogyny) Elliot Rodgers, the "incel" who killed 6 people is a major hero It's not hard to see how this translates to real life violence

It's not an isolated thing though. It's all part of the spectrum of toxic masculinity which ranges from domestic abusers to MRAs to incels. It's also part of the general fascist community(lots of these guys are fash) that views certain people as not human

So while this is an especially dark and horrible part of the universe, it doesn't exist just by itself. It was created out of very mainstream patriarchal beliefs, such as "women give sex, men get sex," and purity culture, and fascism, this can't be understated
