The Incel Subculture: Drifting In and Out
Debates are ongoing about the harm misogynistic online communities pose to young men’s identity and understanding of masculinities.

I use a subcultural theoretical framework, and my analysis identifies three forms of subcultural invo…
To Alleviate Stigma: How Incels Negotiate Masculinity Online

This twofold propaganda enables the mobilization of different audiences, but it also sends conflicting messages about the organization. …
