62: Currycels, Ricecels, & Strict Asian Parents

Today’s episode is a follow-up to the topic we started discussing last week, that first came my way via a poignant message from a listener named Mark (@us3rn8m3_t8k3n) a self-described currycel, who suggested we further explore the role that childhood abuse, particularly in Asian cultures, might play for incels in the west. Mark agreed to get on a call and discuss these issues himself, and we had one of the most raw, honest, and insightful conversations about this theme which is so ubiquitous in...

52: Reflectively, Reflexively, Respectfully, Rowan

This week we take a break from the mass shootings and talk to Rowan, a YouTuber and fellow femoid blackpill-adjacent content creator, who’s started to build a bit of a name and following in the incelosphere. Was going to say we keep things light but that’s not at all the case! We cover some pretty heavy stuff about mental health and also some tough interpersonal drama mentioned previously. Check out Rowan’s YouTube at: https://youtube.com/channel/UC8KPQBUJhO5HMcojtu3UGNA —————————————————————— P...

61: Checking In & Childhood Traumas w/ Abdi & Master

Happy Labor Day, World! Today we return to form after a long summer with an informal chat w/ Master (@IncelsCo) and Abdi (@BigManBigSoul) to catch up. We discuss Plymouth, dating apps, and then respond to a moving and thought-provoking message from a listener about the role childhood trauma in inceldom.

60: The NEET, the THOT, and the Strange Addiction w/ David (@goooply)

Today’s guest is a 23 year-old incel from New Zealand, who reached out a couple months back with a YouTube link to a beautiful film he made about his life as an incel, which he called “A Shallow Perception of Me.” The film is about a lonely young man who sinks deeper into depression as he indulges his fixation with a young Russian woman who became something of an unwilling porn star after her nudes were leaked. The woman, Alina, is a real person, by the way. It is composed of stark shots of Davi...

59: JUST THE FACTS, w/ Phil Gurski

Last week's mass shooting in Plymouth is still reverberating, and the latest headlines suggest that police are revisiting their decision to rule out terrorism... so to help us sort through the debris, is one of our favorite guests here at Incel: friend of the pod, Phil Gurski (@borealissaves). For new listeners, Phil spent over 30 years as a strategic intelligence analyst specialising in radicalization, and homegrown Islamist extremism with CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)...

58: The Plymouth Shooter and the YouTube Historian w/ Liam Porter

Last Thursday, on August 12th, 22-year-old Jake Davison went on a shooting spree in Plymouth, England, killing his mother and four other victims before turning the gun on himself. One of the victims was a three year old girl. It was the first mass shooting in Britain in over ten years, and the shooter was connected to the incel community. I spent the weekend completely immersed in this case, and wrote a lengthy analysis about it for UnHerd, which you can read at: https://unherd.com/2021/08/what-...

57: How to Build and Maintain an Incel Forum (from absolutely anywhere...) w/ Fukurou

Today’s episode covers the recent headlines about the latest plot to commit mass violence by a 21-year-old incel from Hillsboro, Ohio. The interview features returning guest Owli/Fukurou, the programmer/AI enthusiast and robot devotee from episode 48: Let's Talk about Bots, Baby. Fukurou’s the one talking today. He has a new book, "How to Build and Maintain an Incel Forum" and a newsworthy status update on good old Nathan Larson, the former administrator of a few fake incel forums, and known ped...

56: The Black Pill is Eternal w/ Doomer Man

Today’s episode features a 23 year old ex-incel who found himself even further black pilled after his ascension. "It really did reaffirm to me that the blackpill is eternal even if you do 'ascend' and unless you are chad you will never be on top of this metaphorical mountain," he wrote in his email reaching out. His name is Doomer Man, and for those of you longing for more black pilled content, this is it! —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episode...

55: The Modern Dating Economy w/ James Bloodworth

Today’s episode features journalist James Bloodworth (@J_Bloodworth), who has written some excellent articles about the modern dating economy, and has a podcast of the same name. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, and was thrilled to pick his brain on some of the issues facing incels today. We cover lots of ground and explore some familiar themes, but he introduces lots of new ideas.

54: Inoculation Theory w/ "A"

Today’s episode also features a somewhat paradoxical and incredibly impressive incel from New Zealand who simply goes by "A." We cover tons of ground, about inceldom, technology, censorship, group think, victimology, and most importantly, I think, resilience: resilience to life’s hardships and resilience to the power of seductive ideas. He’s got lots of it. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaK...

53: Alt-Right Novelist dot Com, w/ Andy Nowicki

Today’s interview is a conversation with writer Andy Nowicki who goes by the moniker “alt-right novelist,” a title he’s been given, and also chosen to embrace, which has had many consequences in his own life. He has a popular blog, and is the author of several books, including the recent "Death by Dream Girl: an Incel Dystopian Tale." We just recorded a conversation about the new book, which I'll be releasing as a bonus episode, after you meet the author in this profound and personal conversatio...

51: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic w/ James Densley.

There have been 45 mass shootings in the United States since March 15th. 45. That’s an incident involving 4 or more victims, excluding the shooter. That is surreal. Today we’ll be hearing from criminologist Professor James Densley (@theviolencepro), co-founder of the Violence Project, about this horrific phenomenon that seems to be growing all too common...

50: To Catch the Bus

On this, our 50th episode, we're going to do something a little unorthodox, or maybe just totally inappropriate, and step away from the topic of incels to that of suicide, which we’ve discussed many times before, but never quite so frankly or directly. Catherine’s son Joe completed suicide one year ago, at the age of 23, after visiting a suicide discussion forum. The forum is run by the administrators of incels dot co, Master and Sarge. They speak for the first time here on the pod. ————————————...

Today, after a quick update on long awaited AM verdict, we're going to be talking all about those the three letters on everybody's mind. And those other three letters. (Sex, bot).

Just in time for the holiday, notorious fake incel and pervert Nathan Larson was arrested for kidnapping, so we touch on that and other stories in the news, before sitting down with Jon M, an incel and political activist, who very thoughtfully presents a leftist perspective on inceldom, and why the two identities might be more compatible than most folks acknowledge.

Today, we talk to LookUponMyWorks, an incel who took the Black Pill, but finds himself reconsidering what he suspects is "a broken mindset," and straddling the fence between the comfort of its hard truths, and the possibility of a murkier reality. He reached out nearly a year ago, to discuss a unique subreddit and Discord group called "incelexit." Our conversation is an incredibly thought-provoking and interesting look at the space between one path and another. An off-ramp, if you will. ————————...

Hello world! On this (very late) episode of INCEL, Naama sits down with Kamikaze to discuss the seldom discussed issue of sexual fetishes and fantasies that grow to become sources of shame or frustration, and can turn into roadblocks to actual dating and relationships. Kamikaze doesn't really associate with inceldom in too many ways, other than, well... just being an incel, which is always an important and interesting point of view. This episode delves into a lot of mature sexual themes with a f...
