The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

The current manosphere is basically a pipeline to the alt-right and additional radicalization. The distance between incel to proud boys is quite small.

The problem is that any attempt to make a pro-men group with any of the positive agendas you list will attract the same people as an audience that are already in the manosphere. And then you have the Nazi bar problem.

Yes, theres a massive link between incels and all kinds of hate. It's horrible.

They have won on this front and there is no hope of turning it around. All we got now is to hope measles takes out most the population
