Speaking as someone who has been mentally ill and lonely for most of my teenage and adult life, incels are not just mentally ill and lonely. Incels subscribe to a politics of sexual entitlement and resentment towards women specifically because they feel they have not received the patriarchal favors they believe they’re entitled to, and why they hurt and kill women who don’t provide it to them. It’s literally just “mass shooters are just mentally ill” bullshit done to another violent group of people ignoring the role fascist ideology and gender and sexual politics plays in producing them.

i’m the guy who writes the books that the protagonist in supernatural horror movies frantically reads somewhere in act ii. job’s pretty easy. lot of “legends of vampires have recurred all throughout human history” and “demonologists agree that the quickest way to un-summon a demon is to trap it in a cursed object”. no citations of course; they don’t pay me citation money. i had to learn html back in the early aughts when everyone started seeking their supernatural info on websites they found via top search engines like FINDLER and WEBSIGHT but that’s died down now which is great because i didn’t have it in me to pick up css. currently working on a new book about horses that are evil. it’s called HORSES THAT ARE EVIL in all caps so the protagonist can find it quickly to yank off the library shelf. it will be published 35 years ago.
