FEATURE: Many Good Men
In the wake of Netflix’s Adolescence, a spate of high profile misogynistic killings, and also the last few millennia of humankind, misogyny has been a hot topic.
ayoungishperspective.co.uk
Many Good Men is a participant-led digital forum theatre project aiming to tackle this rise in adolescent misogyny. Supported in part by the Scottish Government and Zero Tolerance Scotland, Civic Digits’ founder and artistic director Clare Duffy has created a forum for young people to express their thoughts and fears surrounding a broad range of interlinking topics: online radicalisation, masculinity, pornography, and the misogyny that underlies it all.
Many Good Men begins the same way every time: there’s been an incel shooting in Edinburgh (specifically, the JD Sports on Princes Street) and two footballers are trying to find out more about the perpetrator and the cynical forces that led him there. Young participants from local schools and football clubs create him a backstory, considering the many ways he could’ve been left vulnerable to radicalisation: frequent themes include a lack of familial support, mental health issues, and (naturally) unfettered internet access. In tonight’s documentary screening at CodeBase, we watch participants as they create a character fighting with his father over the exquisite shame of having missed three penalties in a single game. Next, he’s pouring scolding liquid over his mother as he wails, “I don’t like hot chocolate, mummy!” – Gen Z’s understanding of the tragic childishness of incel culture is completely apparent.
In further discussions, participants appear half-sincere and half-bemused as they earnestly try and describe exactly what a ‘chad’ is. It is a key facet of incel culture and Gen Z humour that both are inescapably ironic. There is such a fine line, or perhaps even no line, between a mocking tirade against Staceys, foids, and beta males and a genuine pronouncement of extreme misogyny

It's like they took the Jake Davison incident and deliberately made a caricature as cliche as possible.
Propaganda strong enough to one shot your average European after a single viewing.
