In episode 2 of INCEL, before introducing you to the mysterious leaders of the incel forums and the rest of her investigation, and before properly introducing you to Frothy, Naama introduces you to FrailPaleStaleMale, an incel from the East Midlands region of England.  Frail is disarming and candid in their conversation, as they discuss childhood, addiction, and mostly trauma, as they relate to inceldom. This conversation seems particularly important during this heated climate. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy.  Next week, in Episode 3: Statusmaxxing, we will pick up where we left off.  —————————————————————— 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 the first installment of INCEL, Naama explores her fascination with identity online and provides a brief primer on the evolution of the web as a platform, before beginning her investigation by tracking down a controversial poster named Neo, at the beginning, when she was still "bluepilled af."  —————————————————————— The blue pill represents a life of luxurious security, tranquil happiness, and blissful ignorance of the harsh realities of existence. In contrast, the red pill represents freedom resulting from knowledge of these brutal truths of reality. We'll get to the black pill. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is produced by Naama Kates and brought to you by Crawlspace Media.
