In(cel)doctrination: How technologically facilitated misogyny moves violence off screens and on to streets.

This article examines these online interactions [between Incels on Reddit and 4chan], and similarly, the progressive experience of indoctrination of individuals who became members of Incel groups. It takes a decidedly micro approach through 50 long-form qualitative interviews. By examining the personal experience of individuals the author argues we can better understand the common patterns and processes of recruitment and radicalization shared across digital Incel indoctrination. From this we can identify recruitment from and growth of the movement from the ground up. They conclude that there is a rich and highly advanced community with a sophisticated process of indoctrination (p. 139). This research also demonstrates the links between Incels and the Far-Right (or Alt-Right). They recommend that Incel violence be classified in the same way as other forms of violent misogyny and extremism. From this understanding, similar community embedded programming - such as signposted mental health services, monitoring programs and workshops in schools and community centers - to prevent such violence can be implemented.
