{"title":"‘It's time to put the copes down and get to work’: a qualitative study of incel exit strategies on r/IncelExit","authors":"Ruxandra Mihaela Gheorghe, David Yuzva Clement","doi":"10.1080/19434472.2023.2276485","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19434472.2023.2276485","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIncels, the now-widely notorious community of involuntary celibate individuals, represent an emergent online subculture predominantly composed of young men who are dissatisfied with their inability to experience romance or become involved in sexual relationships with women regardless of their desire in doing so. Despite incels being commonly portrayed as upholding a fatalistic and inescapable ideology that promotes networked misogyny and violence, there exists a unique online Reddit forum called r/IncelExit that aims to support self-identifying incels who are considering leaving inceldom. By thematically analyzing the top 25 most-engaged forums on r/IncelExit, this research highlights how online community support can be mobilized to encourage, share, teach, and sustain concrete exit strategies for incels who want to move away from incel rhetoric and disengage from incel communities. Findings illustrate various avenues for exiting inceldom that together focus on working towards self-improvement, community involvement, and disruption of incel rhetoric – efforts that are sustained by the r/IncelExit community’s continued motivation and encouragement. Implications for countering violent extremism (CVE) approaches are provided. Seeing as most CVE approaches focus on education programs, psychosocial mediation, or criminal justice interventions, this research highlights a complementary CVE measure grounded in mutual aid, peer support, and inner-group collaborative encouragement.KEYWORDS: Incelsinvoluntary celibacyIncelExitdisengagementmutual aidcountering violent extremism AcknowledgementThe authors would like to thank the editor and reviewers of this journal for their insightful comments and for supporting this work.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsRuxandra Mihaela GheorgheRuxandra Mihaela Gheorghe, MA, MSW, is a social worker and doctoral candidate at Carleton University's School of Social Work, Ottawa, Canada.

Exposure to problems of radicalization, law enforcement, demographics and the context of neighborhoods potentially affect how geographies of CVE are shaped. We ask the question: are there spatial patterns of over- and under-reporting, where the degree of exposure to problems of radicalization influences citizens’ willingness to report concerns of radicalization to authorities? We investigate this question in representative samples from eight major Nordic cities (total n = 6603). Using geographical indicators, we explore the spatial distribution of exposure to radicalization, perceptions of CVE policies and willingness to report concerns of radicalization. By mapping the respondents’ locations across postal codes and exploring spatial patterns, the study identifies two spatial mismatches – over-reporting and under-reporting – where they can be found, and what partially predicts these. Across the examined cities, great willingness to report relative to the perceived problems of radicalization seems to be the norm.","PeriodicalId":54174,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Testing the link between conspiracy theories and violent extremism: a linguistic coding approach to far-right shooter manifestos","authors":"Jana Vanderwee, Julian Droogan","doi":"10.1080/19434472.2023.2258952","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19434472.2023.2258952","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTConspiracy theories have been linked to violent extremist attacks, creating a view that holding one may be a motivating factor for engaging in violence. The perpetrators of the 2019 Christchurch, Poway, and El Paso shootings each cited the ‘Great Replacement’ white genocide conspiracy theory in manifestos distributed online prior to the attacks. This research conducts a close reading of these manifestos and the original conspiracy theory to test the link between holding a conspiracy theory and engaging in outgroup-oriented violence. It compares Renaud Camus’ Great Replacement text (You Will Not Replace Us) and the manifestos of the three violent extremists that cite this theory (The Great Replacement, The Inconvenient Truth, An Open Letter). Three theoretical frameworks provide the basis for the analysis: (1) The presence of conspiracy theory elements (agency, coalition, threat, secrecy), (2) radical narrative constructs (crisis, solution, justification), and (3) mobilising emotions (anger, contempt, disgust – ANCODI). All four sources contained the elements of a conspiracy theory, crisis narratives, and mobilising ANCODI emotions as the dominant emotions. This suggests that the original conspiracy theory may have influenced the perpetrators. This research furthers academic debate, both conceptually and empirically, about the nature of connectivity between conspiracy theories and violent extremism.
