Description

Involuntary celibates (incels) are an online community of young men who believe that their biology has rendered them scientifically unf**kable and, because of this, they can never attract a romantic or sexual partner. With the rest of the community backing them up, like a terrible support group, they become increasingly spiteful. Inceldom has been linked to misogyny, harassment and, in some instances, extreme violence. Dr David Smith (Robert Gordon University) reveals what he learned from ex-incels. How did they join? Why did they stay? And how did they leave?

The Edinburgh Reporter 92 days ago

One of the great things about the CoDI is that, at a time when none of us really knows if anything we see on our screens is real, they’re given by people who know their stuff. Even when controversial, it’s still reliable, fact-based information
