Due to the developments of this past weekend, INCEL is taking this week to provide you all with an emergency breaking news analysis of the case of alleged perpetrator of the Toronto vehicle-ramming attack of April 23rd, 2018. Naama analyzes various aspects of the newly released transcripts to look into possible motives. ———————————————————————— She also speaks to Jesse Morton, founder of Parallel Networks, a DC-based organization that combats hate and extremism, about radicalization. His history as a former American jihadist provides incredible and unique insight into the process of “radicalization,” and a framework for addressing it. ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In episode 7 of INCEL, Naama goes back to the beginning by deconstructing some of the popular media hit pieces about incels, which are usually all anyone sees. She also returns to her first guide through the incel landscape, Frothy Solutions, whose insight on the community, as an “agecel,” is invaluable. ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Elliott Rodger, "the supreme gentleman," committed a heinous act of domestic terror in Isla Vista, California in 2014, earning the nonstop attention of media, and an ironic martyrdom in the incelosphere, to the point that "going ER" has become a meme. In this episode of INCEL, Naama examines his downfall and pathway to intended violence with his manifesto- a primary source revealing his cognitive processes.   —————————————————————  She follows this story by detailing each incel or incel-adjacent massacre that followed in the years to come, most of whom were "copycats," who attributed Rodger in some way. Is this community a radicalization vector? Why is this happening? We can't stop it if we refuse to ask that question. ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

This week, Naama travels to SEA with “K,” who has discovered a way to ascend. They discuss a variety of concepts and terms, including JBW, which stands for “Just Be White,” and manlet, the term for a short incel. ASD stands for autism spectrum disorder. Next week, INCEL will cover the mass shootings linked to the community, including, of course, ER. —————————————————————— Autism Spectrum Diagnosis Screener: https://psychology-tools.com/test/autism-spectrum-quotient —————————————————————— Questions for “K”?

Ceci n’est pas une pipe. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this special Labor Day Bonus episode, Naama takes some time to informally read and respond to some of the feedback, which has been abundant and varied indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She also acknowledges some of the groundbreaking new research in the fields of extremism which she’s recently discovered. Finally, she implores her most strident critics to explain some of their motivation.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “That’s a valid opinion”-maxxing BonusPod, will hopefully will be a much-needed catharsis for everyone involved. Next week will resume at the usual time by delving into JBW, ASD, and SEA. Until then, please contact Naama with any thoughts, concerns, criticisms, compliments, opinions, or theories by email at theincelproject@gmail.com, and please remember to leave a 5-star rating (and review!) if you are enjoying the show. It is the best way to help spread the word, and let others find out about the program. Thank you! 

In part two of her conversation with SergeantIncel, Naama gets into the weeds about some of the more dangerous and distasteful rhetoric on the incel forums. —————————————————————— Posts are categorized by subject tags: [RopeFuel] or [SuicideFuel] denotes a topic that might arouse feelings of extreme depression, while [RageFuel] might simply infuriate. This conversation is liable to do both, especially for the feminoid host and her feminoid listeners. #AWALT. (All women are like that). —————————————————————— That’s okay. We’re here to learn. —————————————————————— ——————————————————————INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In the third episode of INCEL, Naama goes deeper down the rabbit hole, and plays the first of her two-part conversation with "Sergeant Incel," the administrator and creator of the website, who candidly discusses when, how, and why he developed this controversial and notorious online forum.  —————————————————————— Next week, the conversation continues to cover topics like the black pill, frustration, and threats of violence within the community.   —————————————————————— INCEL is produced by Naama Kates and brought to you by Crawlspace Media. Music by Cyrus Melchor. Additional performance by Old Man Saxon.

In episode 2 of INCEL, before introducing you to the mysterious leaders of the incel forums and the rest of her investigation, and before properly introducing you to Frothy, Naama introduces you to FrailPaleStaleMale, an incel from the East Midlands region of England.  Frail is disarming and candid in their conversation, as they discuss childhood, addiction, and mostly trauma, as they relate to inceldom. This conversation seems particularly important during this heated climate. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy.  Next week, in Episode 3: Statusmaxxing, we will pick up where we left off.  ——————————————————————INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In the first installment of INCEL, Naama explores her fascination with identity online and provides a brief primer on the evolution of the web as a platform, before beginning her investigation by tracking down a controversial poster named Neo, at the beginning, when she was still "bluepilled af."  —————————————————————— The blue pill represents a life of luxurious security, tranquil happiness, and blissful ignorance of the harsh realities of existence. In contrast, the red pill represents freedom resulting from knowledge of these brutal truths of reality. We'll get to the black pill.  —————————————————————— INCEL is produced by Naama Kates and brought to you by Crawlspace Media. Music by Cyrus Melchor. Additional voices by Old Man Saxon and Brittany Ballard.

Investigative journalist Naama Kates dives deep inside the incel community. Incel is shorthand for involuntary celibate.
