Summary

They are described as isolated, violent misogynists. So what draws men to the community of “incels” – or involuntary celibates? Do they hate women or are their reasons for rejecting sex more complex? Justin Quirk delves into the dark corners of the internet with William Costello, expert on the psychology of incels at the University of Austin at Texas, to find out how worried we should be about them. “You have a supply and demand problem – a skewed sex ratio.” “The sensationalising of incel violence is a worrying trend.” “The term ‘incel’ first appeared on a lesbian forum in the late 1990s.” Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Justin Quirk.
