139. Incels revisited, Part 2

Written By Alienist Entertainment

For the last two episodes, the docs bring you the most up-to-date research on the incel movement to discuss an emergence of data on mental health concerns, relational issues, and a smattering of other data collected from their online presence. This episode also discusses an attack from 1989, which some deem the first incel attack.
