Incel

Today’s episode is a follow-up to the topic we started discussing last week, that first came my way via a poignant message from a listener named Mark (@us3rn8m3_t8k3n) a self-described currycel, who suggested we further explore the role that childhood abuse, particularly in Asian cultures, might play for incels in the west. Mark agreed to get on a call and discuss these issues himself, and we had one of the most raw, honest, and insightful conversations about this theme which is so ubiquitous in the incelosphere. Reminder: a currycel is an incel of South Asian decent, while a ricecel is one of East Asian descent. As a reminder, these terms aren’t intended to be, nor considered offensive, just playfully descriptive. Trigger Warning: this episode includes frank discussion of child abuse and domestic violence. —————————————————————— 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.

This week we take a break from the mass shootings and talk to Rowan, a YouTuber and fellow femoid blackpill-adjacent content creator, who’s started to build a bit of a name and following in the incelosphere. Was going to say we keep things light but that’s not at all the case! We cover some pretty heavy stuff about mental health and also some tough interpersonal drama mentioned previously.

Today’s guest is a 23 year-old incel from New Zealand, who reached out a couple months back with a YouTube link to a beautiful film he made about his life as an incel, which he called “A Shallow Perception of Me.” The film is about a lonely young man who sinks deeper into depression as he indulges his fixation with a young Russian woman who became something of an unwilling porn star after her nudes were leaked. The woman, Alina, is a real person, by the way. It is composed of stark shots of David (@goooply), the filmmaker, listlessly inhabiting his bedroom, eating, drinking, smoking, sleeping, and consuming content, along with the content he consumes. And the film is really, really good. We had a great chat about inceldom, and internet addiction, and content creation and the life of an artist. It was a blast, and incredibly unexpected.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Check out David's film on YouTube, you will not regret it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1k98QjeK0s —————————————————————— 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.

Last week's mass shooting in Plymouth is still reverberating, and the latest headlines suggest that police are revisiting their decision to rule out terrorism... so to help us sort through the debris, is one of our favorite guests here at Incel: friend of the pod, Phil Gurski (@borealissaves). For new listeners, Phil spent over 30 years as a strategic intelligence analyst specialising in radicalization, and homegrown Islamist extremism with CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), and now, he has a podcast, like the rest of us! Imagine. It’s called “Canadian Intelligence, Eh?” and today’s episode is a crossover, intended to get into the case a bit more and talk about some of the implications of labeling it, or not labeling it an “incel shooting.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out Phil's spectacular and informative pod about all things NatSec: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/canadian-intelligence-eh/id1455756173 —————————————————————— 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.

Last Thursday, on August 12th, 22-year-old Jake Davison went on a shooting spree in Plymouth, England, killing his mother and four other victims before turning the gun on himself. One of the victims was a three year old girl. It was the first mass shooting in Britain in over ten years, and the shooter was connected to the incel community. I spent the weekend completely immersed in this case, and wrote a lengthy analysis about it for UnHerd, which you can read at: https://unherd.com/2021/08/what-the-media-gets-wrong-about-incels/ Liam Porter (@retinend) is a documentary filmmaker whose films are about YouTube, and fringe internet subcultures, which means we have a lot of shared interests, and by some fantastic dumb luck, we started talking just a couple of weeks ago... We discuss the case and go over his YouTube channel to provide something of a portrait of a killer.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out Liam’s fascinating films at: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCxogz3p48eM6OL5Mz8bLgPw —————————————————————— 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.

Today’s episode covers the recent headlines about the latest plot to commit mass violence by a 21-year-old incel from Hillsboro, Ohio. The interview features returning guest Owli/Fukurou, the programmer/AI enthusiast and robot devotee from episode 48: Let's Talk about Bots, Baby. Fukurou’s the one talking today. He has a new book, "How to Build and Maintain an Incel Forum" and a newsworthy status update on good old Nathan Larson, the former administrator of a few fake incel forums, and known pedophile who was arrested last February for kidnapping a 12 year old girl. Larson is currently being shuffled around through the system as his attorney motioned for an insanity defense, but that hasn’t stopped him from starting a new forum to recruit incels in his attempt to pull off some kind of deranged uprising. —————————————————————— 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.

Today’s episode features a 23 year old ex-incel who found himself even further black pilled after his ascension. "It really did reaffirm to me that the blackpill is eternal even if you do 'ascend' and unless you are chad you will never be on top of this metaphorical mountain," he wrote in his email reaching out. His name is Doomer Man, and for those of you longing for more black pilled content, this is it! —————————————————————— 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.

Today’s episode features journalist James Bloodworth (@J_Bloodworth), who has written some excellent articles about the modern dating economy, and has a podcast of the same name. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, and was thrilled to pick his brain on some of the issues facing incels today. We cover lots of ground and explore some familiar themes, but he introduces lots of new ideas.

Today’s episode also features a somewhat paradoxical and incredibly impressive incel from New Zealand who simply goes by "A." We cover tons of ground, about inceldom, technology, censorship, group think, victimology, and most importantly, I think, resilience: resilience to life’s hardships and resilience to the power of seductive ideas. He’s got lots of it. —————————————————————— 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.
