The Making Of An Incel: How Boys Become Tools Of Digital Hate

Now, I am not saying we should start sympathizing with incels or downplaying the harm they cause—especially when their ideology leads to real-world violence against women.
Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram, often driven by engagement-maximizing AI, start feeding them a steady diet of content that reflects and reinforces their pain. Memes about being a “nice guy who finishes last,” videos about “alpha males” who always get the girl, or monologues about how modern feminism has “ruined dating.” aren’t random; they’re designed to provoke emotional reactions especially rage, envy, and resentment because that keeps users scrolling.
There’s no defense for any of it really because in the end, there are women who are suffering the consequences of all of this. But it’s also a sad turn of events for many though. So many young boys who needed a proper support system got roped into misogyny because some algorithm put a meme up on their screen with their experiences on the Chad or Sigma male face.
And yes, many of these forums explicitly glorify violence. Mass shooters like Elliot Rodger are turned into martyrs. Threads emerge applauding sexual coercion. Any hint of empathy or dissent is ridiculed as “blue-pilled.” Over time, what started as insecurity becomes something far darker and more dehumanizing.
All the while, the victims of this tragedy are almost always women. Women who are harassed, stalked, doxxed, assaulted, and killed because somewhere, a boy was taught that he was entitled to their affection, and when he didn’t get it, was told it was okay to make her pay for it.
We’re in a cultural moment where silence is complicity. And if we don’t intervene in the making of these boys, we’ll continue to witness the unmaking of so many girls and women.
The consequences of their ideology are real, deadly, and overwhelmingly borne by women. But if we want to confront the roots of this growing problem, we have to examine how so many young boys get here in the first place.
