🐱 Incel terrorist attacks pose an increasing threat

https://phys.org/news/2020-05-incel-terrorist-pose-threat.html

Researchers at The University of Western Australia have found that self-identified "incels' (involuntary celibates, young men who cannot find female sexual partners), present a national security issue.


In a landmark paper published today in the Australian Journal of Political Science, Incels are determined to have killed at least 50 people and injured at least 58 more since 2014—statistics comparable to the number of victims of Islamic extremism in the same period. However, Incels are receiving little preventative attention.

Considering the recent rise of high-profile misogynistic violence in Australia, the authors call for the Australian government to label Incels as a security threat and, in doing so, adopt preventative programs to address misogyny in the community.

Project co-author Dr. Sian Tomkinson, from UWA's School of Social Sciences, said Incels were part of a network called the Manosphere.

"The Manosphere contains various groups who believe that feminism has overtaken society and that men must fight back in order to survive," Dr. Tomkinson said.

"In extreme cases, Incels become radicalized online and commit attacks against everyday men and women, who they blame for their misfortunes."

Co-author Dr. Tauel Harper, from UWA's School of Social Sciences, said one of the great dangers of trying to combat ideological extremists such as Incel was the creation of a 'suspect community," which could encourage even more extreme behavior.

"In order to avoid this scenario with 'the manosphere' we present a program to tackle misogynistic views at the community level," Dr. Harper said.

"Key to this effort is to ensure that public figures and anyone who comments on violence against women understands that gendered violence presents a threat to public security.

"Comments that make gendered violence seem justifiable or the fault of the victim have been shown to further encourage violent attitudes and behavior."

Co-author Dr. Katie Attwell, also from UWA's School of Social Sciences, said misogyny had been killing women for centuries.

"What Incel has done is make misogyny dangerous to everyone, not just women. The very broad and public nature of this threat means that the government must now deal with misogynistic attitudes as an issue of national security."

they manage to get even worse than people who literally fucking explode themselves

Ah, yes.
A case for Government Issued Girlfriends.

I almost lost it at "communities of play", is this the new "people of colour"-type term but for gamers? From now on I'll be demanding all non-gamers call me a "person of play" because "gamer" is our word.

Why is there so much use of this passive voice bullshit these days is a bigger concern. Language itself is being used to pussify the population as well.

Maybe the Catholic Church was onto something back in the day with Church sponsored prostitutes. Maybe they did it because they knew about the incels.

 

[snailslime]

Did that work with Dylan and Eric though?

incels or not, i doubt they were ever mentally healthy

The less directly you address something, the less offensive it's possible to be. Also, when your language becomes more and more passive (read: feminine), feelings begin to take on the same narrative/rhetorical weight as facts because both are presented in a way that sounds objective even though feelings are inherently non-objective. It makes it easier to lie or mislead without directly stating a falsehood.

 

[TerribleIdeas™]

So "incels" kill fewer than 10 people a year and this is a national emergency?

They forgot to count Islamic incels, especially during their month-long bomb-a-thon, Ramadan.

Hm, I wonder what other events could have led to this rise... maybe an influx of a certain population prone to such behavior?

 

[Harnessed Carcass]

I hate Australians so god damn much.

Don't fuckin' blame us! We never chose to have a female Prime minister back in the day, and since then, it's all gone tits up!
Take it from me, don't put pussy on a pedestal, fellas

I feel you, but those sand-niggers kill while women out of a lack of respect for their rights. Incels kill why women cause virgin rage. Totally different and understandable responses to the rise in female democracy in Australia, through and through.

Tard Edit:

incels or not, i doubt they were ever mentally healthy

I believe Dylan was the mental case, and Eric was a manipulated victim without self-esteem who was used by a social pariah to do cruel things. I know the difference is fuck all, but they did have a direction that was lead by one of them.

Jesus christ, having preventions against something and it still having a body count means its a far bigger problem, not that the non-prevented thing is just as bad.
It's the same logic of "corona isn't real because the body count is similar to the common cold".

Well we say that, but we all know who won the 2010 election, albeit after forming a minority government. In that sense, I suppose we never definitively chose a Gillard government. That's off-topic, however.

However you wanna word it, what kinda top-tier country with political influence and economic prosperity gets lead by a Number 2? Look to the past if you wanna improve the future, my friend.

Almost 2 hours of anti-incel knowledge. Maybe my government need to start studying the niggaology.

 

[sasazuka]

i'm really interested in how the hell they came up with those numbers. 50 dead from incel terrorism, in australia alone? but the only actual incel attacks i remember were elliot rodger in california and that minassian guy in canada.
was there some giga incel riot in australia that killed dozens of people that i never heard about or something?

I'm wondering if they're including in that number the murders of individual women by their stalkers or other lonely men who targeted them at random. Which is always despicable, to be sure, but that sort of thing happened long before the media applied the "incel" buzzword to it.

hol up

 

[soft kitty]

Maybe stop treating incels like shit.

I thought it was okay for them to call us gamers as long as they didn't use the hard-r...

They could just legalize prostitution, if they are so worried about incels. Most incels are not street savvy enough to go get a hooker because it’s illegal and hookers are usually in dangerous areas because it’s illegal. Legalize prostitution, the incel uses his spare change he saves up, no longer is a virgin, and he can count on the sexual again when he gets so more money. It’s not really that expensive but Is dangerous to get hookers so if you legalize it, not dangerous now. Because they could set up buildings with security you take a hooker to one of the bedrooms, they have security right outside. They could do it safely they just have to figure out the logistics.

unless the number refers to worldwide attacks, then maybe it fits, but in that case the islamic number would be up in the thousands, so that can't really be it either.

I'm more interested in how they categorized "Incels."

Like did they have to investigate the perp's virginity?

I think they played it really fast and loose with what they counted as an 'incel killing', just like how they say there are six million yearly school shootings in America.

it's time to reclaim that slur

prostitution is legal in most non islamic countries, either straight up or under the guise of 'escort' agencies
it doesn't solve the incel problem though, because they don't just want to fuck, they want it to be real and consensual which means prostitution and rape don't count
