From the Executive Summary: "In this report, we examine the effects of the pandemic lockdown on the online discourse of people defining themselves as incels by analysing their chat on incels.co and **********, the two most active English-language forums dedicated to this online subculture. We have collected more than five million posts on these forums as part of our ExtremeBB dataset, and we present a preliminary snapshot. We observe a substantial increase in the number of posts and threads during lockdown; however, the number of members making these posts dropped slightly. We also find a substantial intensification of hostile and violent discourse in these forums, particularly in discussions of the potential for (as they see it) favourable changes to society and their place in it due to the pandemic."
