The Incel Beauty Scale: Rating system puts Jordan Barrett at top
Incels - the male 'involuntarily celibates' who hate women - aspire to be as attractive as models like David Gandy and Jordan Barrett, a new study shows.
Scientists at the University of Portsmouth analysed online 'incel' communities on social platforms including TikTok and forums including looksmax.org.
In a new paper, they present the PSL scale, a hierarchical rating system used by incels to assess male attractiveness.
Study author Anda Solea, criminologist at the University of Portsmouth, warns that the looksmaxxing trend makes incel ideology more 'accessible and relatable'.
'Platform algorithms, trending features, and viral content mechanisms supercharge this spread, exposing millions to harmful ideologies,' she said.
The PSL scale, presented by researchers based on their research into incel online communities, goes from 'subhuman' at the very bottom (e.g. the Elephant Man) to 'Tera Chad' at the very top (e.g. Australian supermodel Jordan Barrett)
The study, published in Crime, Media, Culture, gives 'critical insights into the evolving mechanisms of online misogynist extremism'.
The authors say extreme ideas from isolated online communities spread to mainstream social media platforms, where they can quickly reach millions.
'The findings underscore an urgent need for greater awareness among policymakers, educators, and practitioners about how formerly fringe misogynistic and racist ideologies are becoming embedded within everyday digital discourse – particularly among younger audiences,' they conclude.
I'm sorry, it might just be from constantly being exposed to irony nonstop on the internet, but really? A bunch of researchers drawing up a graph & actually labeling parts of it with terms such as "Subhuman" & "Giga Chad"? It's almost surreal to me.
Anyways, a poor excuse of an article made to stoke fearmongering over a bunch of edgy 16 year olds shitposting on Dalitmax
