TV show Adolescence sparks rise in hate on world's biggest incel site
Amid calls for Netflix show Adolescence to be shown in schools, research shows that the drama triggered an outpouring of misogynistic abuse on incel forums

Many of the comments on the site reviewed by this paper are too offensive to be published. Posts included praise for violence against women and used derogatory misogynistic and racist slurs.
The forum, which this paper is not naming, is a website full of harsh misogynistic rants and posts that idolise men who have killed girls and women, as well as a fixation on how to change your looks to get a sexual partner.
According to the CCDH the site’s membership has doubled since 2023, rising from 17,000 to 31,000 registered users.
Its research also shows that the website racked up more than 2.7m visits in just the first three months of this year with most traffic coming from what CCDH termed “intentional engagement” .

“The speed and scale of growth on this site is deeply disturbing,” said Ahmed. “These are dangerous men who got drawn into this community for a variety of reasons, including body dysmorphia, suicidal ideation, mental health problems, or just a feeling of despair but now are being radicalised in a world view which is which poses a real threat to both women and young girls.”
