Incel

This week we begin our 2 part venture into the renewed interest and fresh crop of the academic and journalistic interest in the topic, digging into the Texas DPS inclusion of incels as domestic terror threats, and gets some feedback from previous guests. Then, Naama gives listeners old and new a recap of everything we’ve learned in the past 20 episodes, by disaggregating various members of the INCEL community from the perception of them as a monolithic entity, into several different categories, using the incels we’ve met on the pod as examples! —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

After a quick summary of the latest news in the incelosphere (of which there’s been plenty, and which will be covered in detail over a two-part episode starting next week), Naama sits down with radio host Mumia Obsidian Ali (@ObsidianFiles), a cultural commentator on the black manosphere, and new dating guru “for the non-select male.” Naama has been a regular guest on Obsidian Radio Daily, and today takes him up on his challenge: “Send your incels over to me.” We need some levity and some encouragement in this trying time, and the conversation provides it, despite touching on many sensitive issues. Naama also teases her new podcast Esc-Hate, which will be dropping on the Crawlspace Media Network in a couple of weeks, trailer coming soon!!! —————————————————————— Follow Mumia Obsidian Ali (on Twitter @ObsidianFiles, on Instagram @ObsidianRadio, or YouTube @TheObsidianMediaNetwork2) and check out his hilarious daily radio show: http://mixlr.com/mumia-obsidian-ali —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Hello world and welcome back! Today INCEL returns to Bummer Drummer, a “truecel” from the American heartland. This week, he goes on to describe his attitudes about the Beta Male Uprising, and violence in the name of a cause, as well as how he came around to believing in it. Bummer's story is gripping, moving, and filled with surprises, and provides a tremendous amount of insight into what can drive people to the violent fringes. —————————————————————— Follow Bummer Drummer (@BummerDrummer4) on Twitter and subscribe to his blog: https://50060.home.blog —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

On this last day of the decade (and the season), INCEL presents our listeners with a good old-fashioned cliffhanger!!! Episode 18 introduces Bummer Drummer, a “truecel” from the American heartland. Bummer is unfiltered and full of pathos; he also holds some interesting views, which you’ll hear all about on the Season 2 premiere next year (same time next week)... —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Chads and Stacys, and red pills and black pills, and incels and normies and cucks, oh my. Maybe you’ve heard these words before and wondered what they meant. Just beneath the boundaries of polite society, is an entire world that most of us will never even see: the shadow world of the involuntary celibate community, where young men from across the globe find each other... for better or worse. Are you game? I’m Naama Kates, the host and creator of INCEL, and this podcast is an excavation. We go deep, and sometimes dark. We meet some incredible people. But you will not leave this journey the same person you were before you started. So be forewarned.

This week on INCEL, Naama talks to Reggie (RegisteredUser), a 19 year old engineering student from the from the UK, who was recently permanently banned from the forum, after multiple warnings, because, honestly, he was just kind of over it??? Reggie’s account is an example of “disengagement,” which differs from deradicalization in that it entails the cessation of group involvement, rather than a complete alteration in worldview. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In this episode of INCEL, Naama speaks to Ken Reidy, author of the award-winning doctoral thesis titled "Benevolent Radicalization,” about the group of “radicalized” individuals in England, who become humanitarians... They discuss his work, the incel community, coming of age, and hope for the future...  —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

On this cold winter day, Naama serves up a dose of blackpill, as per popular demand, by “chadfishing”: the practice of creating fake dating app profiles (generally with photos of classically attractive men, or “Chads”) in order to trick people (generally women) seeking romantic or sexual connections. It’s basically catfishing, but the purpose is to expose or understand the different treatment toward would-be suitors based on physical appearance. Traditional chadfishing has been done enough, so Naama creates three other profiles for INCEL: one female, one male in his late 30s, and one in his early 20s, on several different dating apps. Incel YouTuber Pinky (@pinkyculture) explains a bit about chadfishing, and we hear a little from Catfishman, whose interview was recorded months ago and seemed destined for the cutting room floor until this week's topic came up again... Enjoy this slightly sour, refreshing treat. Next week on INCEL, Naama speaks to Ken Reidy, the author of the study "Benevolent Radicalization." P.S.

In time for that post-Thanksgiving crash, Naama attempts to retrieve something tasty, as per popular demand, by “chadfishing”: the practice of creating fake dating app profiles (generally with photos of classically attractive men, or “Chads”) in order to trick people (generally women) seeking romantic or sexual connections. It’s basically catfishing, but the purpose is to expose or understand the different treatment toward would-be suitors based on physical appearance.
