Incels misperceive societal views, overestimating blame and underestimating sympathy
Incels misjudge societal views, vastly overestimating blame and underestimating sympathy, a new study reveals.
www.psypost.org
Participants were recruited through snowball sampling on social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter) and the Incels.co forum.
The study revealed three key findings. First, societal views of incels were broadly sympathetic or neutral on most measures.
Jfl, what world are they living in?
A notable finding was the role of feminist identification in shaping attitudes toward incels. Higher feminist identification among non-incels was associated with decreased sympathy and support for incels’ romantic success, increased blame attribution, and higher overall animosity toward incels. This effect was particularly pronounced among women with stronger feminist identification.
