A doctoral student at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) has sounded the alarm about the demonization of women that has taken place on incel discussion threads, after analyzing exchanges on a male chauvinist virtual forum.
Océane Corbin, a doctoral student in communication at UQAM, knows something about this. She spent nearly three years immersed in the main forum for incels, or “involuntary celibates,” which is freely accessible
Corbin recounted witnessing “extremely frightening things” during her immersion in this international forum, ranging from the sharing of lists of drugs that can be used to weaken people before abusing them to confessions of sexual assault.
She also noted that confessions of rape fantasies are extremely common in these discussion threads.
“About every 30 minutes, there is a message posted confessing a desire to commit sexual assault,” she testified.
“There are other Quebec forums where you will find masculinist discourse and discourse that can be likened to the incel movement,” Corbin pointed out.
“There is currently a major legislative gap in Quebec and around the world with regard to these types of platforms,” said the researcher, who sometimes had nowhere to turn when she wanted to report comments made on the forum.
