History

Historical Context

The incel movement, which emerged in 2014, has roots in earlier online communities that fostered feelings of rejection and isolation. Influenced by misogynistic ideologies and violent incidents like the 2014 Isla Vista killings, incels often blame women and feminism for their romantic failures. The Southern Poverty Law Center now classifies incels as part of the male supremacist ecosystem, highlighting their potential threat to public safety.
