999: Weaponized Concern Trolling

Chads and Stacys, and red pills and black pills, and incels and normies and cucks, oh my. Maybe you’ve heard these words before and wondered what they meant. Just beneath the boundaries of polite society, is an entire world that most of us will never even see: the shadow world of the involuntary celibate community, where young men from across the globe find each other... for better or worse. Are you game? I’m Naama Kates, the host and creator of INCEL, and this podcast is an excavation. We go deep, and sometimes dark. We meet some incredible people. But you will not leave this journey the same person you were before you started. So be forewarned.

This week on INCEL, Naama talks to Reggie (RegisteredUser), a 19 year old engineering student from the from the UK, who was recently permanently banned from the forum, after multiple warnings, because, honestly, he was just kind of over it??? Reggie’s account is an example of “disengagement,” which differs from deradicalization in that it entails the cessation of group involvement, rather than a complete alteration in worldview. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates —————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

On this cold winter day, Naama serves up a dose of blackpill, as per popular demand, by “chadfishing”: the practice of creating fake dating app profiles (generally with photos of classically attractive men, or “Chads”) in order to trick people (generally women) seeking romantic or sexual connections. It’s basically catfishing, but the purpose is to expose or understand the different treatment toward would-be suitors based on physical appearance. Traditional chadfishing has been done enough, so Naama creates three other profiles for INCEL: one female, one male in his late 30s, and one in his early 20s, on several different dating apps. Incel YouTuber Pinky (@pinkyculture) explains a bit about chadfishing, and we hear a little from Catfishman, whose interview was recorded months ago and seemed destined for the cutting room floor until this week's topic came up again... Enjoy this slightly sour, refreshing treat. Next week on INCEL, Naama speaks to Ken Reidy, the author of the study "Benevolent Radicalization." P.S.

In time for that post-Thanksgiving crash, Naama attempts to retrieve something tasty, as per popular demand, by “chadfishing”: the practice of creating fake dating app profiles (generally with photos of classically attractive men, or “Chads”) in order to trick people (generally women) seeking romantic or sexual connections. It’s basically catfishing, but the purpose is to expose or understand the different treatment toward would-be suitors based on physical appearance.
