From sexual violence to extremism: Inside the toxic student incel culture at UK universities

Nine UK students have been referred to counter-extremist programme Prevent since 2021

You’ve probably heard about the growing epidemic of incel culture amongst young men and the rise of the manosphere online.

The manosphere refers to parts of the internet which have become synonymous with promoting misogyny. These include men’s rights podcasts, chatrooms, blogs, and YouTube accounts championing regressive gender roles and hate towards women.

However, reports have also shown the consequences of rising “red-piller” incels go beyond the internet, as it coincides with the increasing rates of sexual violence at many UK universities.

In addition, a 21-year-old Ulster student is facing charges of stalking and threatening communications. This came about following the UK university student’s alleged online posts wishing rape and death on a woman, highlighting the damage incel culture is causing on both ends.

A report by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and College of Policing commissioned after last year’s race riots highlights the underlying issue behind the rise of extremism.

Titled The National Policing Statement for Violence Against Women and Girls, it identifies misogyny, violence against women, and the “manosphere” as the roots for extremism in the UK. The report recommended authorities look at concerning behaviours, ideologies and beliefs when combating extremism. These include misogyny, violence against women and girls, and a fixation on gore and violence.

The report also mentioned increasing misinformation and conspiracy theories, which influence racism, intolerance and involvement in “the manosphere”.

Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth, national lead for policing violence against women and girls, spoke to The Telegraph about the findings. She said: “We know that some of this is also linked to radicalisation of young people online; we know the influencers, Andrew Tate, the element of influencing of particularly boys, is quite terrifying and that’s something that both the leads for counterterrorism in the country and [something] ourselves from a VAWG perspective are discussing.”

Dr Tim Squirrell, of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a counter-extremism think-tank, also demonstrated the influence of figures such as Andrew Tate on the radicalization of young men.
He told The Guardian: “Tate clearly represents a risk of radicalizing young men into misogynist extremism. This kind of extremism is not currently considered for support under Prevent unless it is accompanied with a recognized ideology, e.g. incel/extreme rightwing/Islamist. That’s a problem.”

Most incels at university just keep their heads down and study. They don't really go to parties or make many friends. But because fraternity Chads have been a little too rowdy, universities apparently have an incel problem.

Chads disrespect women and incels are always blamed.
