Experts fear rising global ‘incel’ culture could provoke terrorism

Academics from the University of Exeter also noted an increasing overlap between incel followers and the far right, with online algorithms blamed for pushing young boys towards extreme rightwing ideology. … 
The incel – or "involuntarily celibate" – movement is an online subculture in which a misogynistic worldview is promoted by individuals who blame women for their lack of sexual activity. … 
Another involves Gabrielle Friel, who in 2019 amassed weapons in preparation for a terrorist attack in Scotland and who "idolised" incel Elliot Rodger, who killed six people in California in 2014. One concerning dynamic, said Brace, was how boys as young as 12 were being drawn into misogynistic ideology.
