what do we do about the incel problem

they're here to stay it seems, no use ignoring it

they defintiely have the ability to "make headlines" and enter the conversation

but they're also human beings with real stories and motivations. they walk, eat, work and post on forums among us

idk, open safe space for discussion, be nice

We'll use this wonderful bit of forensic psychiatry research as a launching point for discussions. It was discussed at the American Psych Association conference which would have been fascinating

Excerpts:

"Incels - most commonly heterosexual men who believe that they are sexually rejected by women because of their genetics and the advent of feminism. "

"As of 2021, there have been over 50 violent incidents with associated incel themes, including the 2018 Toronto van attack,a 2021 knife attack in Japan, an aborted attack in Ohio in 2019, and a 2021 mass shooting in England.This has led to international recognition and reporting on incel subculture"

"Cottee summarized the incel worldview succinctly as having three core tenants: misogyny, victimhood, and fatalism"
