"A new study has shed light on incels, and exactly why some men are more likely to become women-hating recluses. Psychologists in Spain conducted a review of scientific studies about incels - the growing online subculture of 'involuntarily celibates'. They identified six key characteristics among this group - loneliness, rejection, low self-esteem, limited social support, and higher rates of anxiety and depression. Such feelings can trigger anger, aggression and violence while driving males towards likeminded communities online on platforms like Reddit, X, YouTube and TikTok."
"'Incels are mostly heterosexual men from diverse ethnic backgrounds, generally estimated to be between 18 and 30 years old, although some may be younger,' she told the Daily Mail."
"'They often hold misogynistic and racist beliefs rooted in hatred toward women, which they justify as a response to being rejected by women.'"
Incels are primarily heterosexual young men, often estimated between 18 and 30, from diverse ethnic backgrounds who identify as 'involuntarily celibate.' Common characteristics include loneliness, rejection, low self-esteem, limited social support, anxiety and depression. Those feelings frequently lead to anger, aggression and sometimes violence, and push affected men toward like-minded online communities on platforms such as Reddit, X, YouTube and TikTok. Inceldom is associated with misogynistic and racist beliefs, moral and emotional disconnection, and tendencies toward radicalization including endorsement of sexual violence. Addressing underlying mental health issues and social isolation is essential to reduce radicalization.
