NEETcels rise up!!!


Summary: A new study reveals that many self-identified incels reject employment not only due to mental health challenges, but as a deliberate expression of identity reinforced by online communities. By analyzing over 1,200 forum posts, researchers found that incel spaces often celebrate unemployment and isolation as signs of ideological purity, pressuring others to remain disengaged from work or education.
The researchers suggest that while some incels struggle with finding and retaining work because of various mental health challenges, for many members of the incel forum the choice not to work, study or train for a job is based on deeply held beliefs, and that these beliefs are often reinforced by other online forum participants.
Recent surveys have shown that a disproportionally high percentage (up to 30 per cent) of incels are not in employment, education or training (NEET). This prompted researchers to analyze more than 1,200 online comments on employment on 171 discussion threads on a popular incel forum during two weeks in the fall of 2022.
Members of the community participating in the discussions frequently encouraged others to retain their NEET status, something they praised as a confirming sign of “true” inceldom (a “truecel”).
Those who talked about trying to improve their situation by working or studying were regularly labelled “fakecels.”
Only about one-quarter of forum members suggested that they or others should try to improve their situation by studying or finding work.
