I spoke to men who swallowed the red pill: what incel culture is really like.
Short for involuntary celibates, incels are men who believe a combination of their bad genes and modern feminism have left them romantically/sexually destitute. In short, they consider themselves scientifically unloveable. As a psychologist, I find inceldom equally fascinating and scary. It's one of few subcultures built entirely around inferiority. In this article, I share my findings from interviews with eleven former incels as I tried to find out why they joined in the first place - and how we can help others leave.
