70: Agecucks, Escortcels, & First Amendment Jurisprudence w/ @PPEcel
Today we chat with @PPEcel, a ricecel in his early 20s, who writes like a legal scholar. He’s been particularly active on incels.is in recent weeks, during the forum’s critical transitional period, and graciously took the time to have a chat about incel culture, freedom of speech, escort-celing, and the topic of child sexual abuse materials on the forum. —————————————————————— 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.

69: The Femcel Mystique
In the spirit of reciprocity, today’s episode features our very first femcel, Pora. Pora doesn’t call herself a female incel, which she explains in the interview. She, in fact, agrees with the black pill contention that women can’t really be incel — that with some exceptions, women can generally find someone to sleep with them if they want. but an empty, meaningless, one-time physical encounter, devoid of any emotional connection, would make many women (and men) feel used, even worse and more alone. and she can’t find anyone interested in anything more, which make her a femcel. —————————————————————— 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.

66: The Father, the Son, & the Watchtower
Today’s interview features “Ken,” an incel who wrote into the show after hearing Mark's story on episode 62: Currycels, Ricecels, & Strict Asian Parents. Ken was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and left the community as an adult, when he put himself through college and then graduate school. Ken has a fulfilling career as a scientist now, but his family of origin led to insecurities, loneliness, and severe trust issues with people in general and women in particular. —————————————————————— 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.

65: The #GamerGate Movie, w/ Liam Porter
Today’s topic is Gamergate. If you google it, the first result will that comes up is Wikipedia’s entry, where it’s listed as “harassment campaign,” but Liam Porter (@retinend), a filmmaker and YouTube historian has a more nuanced answer, having made “Munted, Random,” a fantastic documentary about the incident, which you can check out at: youtu.be/pLPA7wRRNj4. —————————————————————— 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.

64: Alea Jacta Est w/ Jean-Marc Dalphond
Today’s episode finally takes on the very complicated case of the mass shooting on December 6th, 1989 at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. It is often considered the first “incel shooting” despite predating the term by 25 years. The perpetrator, Marc Lepine left a manifesto and killed 14 female college students, one of whom was Anne-Marie Edward, the cousin of today’s guest, Jean-Marc Dalphond (@JMDalphond). Jean-Marc teaches theatre at a university, and is working on a play based on this event, which he has thought about in harrowing detail every single day for the past three years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

63: Orders of Magnitude w/Scorned Stoic
Today, we check back in with fan favorite, Scorned Stoic, from whom you last heard in May of 2020, on episodes 29 and 30: The Philosophic Black Pill. He spoke to me from his apartment in Germany, where he’s been living as an ex-pat for about 3 years. He followed his dad there, then his older brother, from Canada, where he grew up. He’s currently 23 years old, and kind of living the NEET life, but that’s mostly due to health and COVID. His life has gotten orders of magnitude worse since our last chat, as he will tell you.. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's finally here, boyos.
