What the Hell is an INCEL & Who Was Elliot Roger? The Wicked Ones Podcast
-
- True Crime
In this episode…The Wicked Ones Podcast host Tara, deep dives into rush week…but what started out as a search for sorority and greek life stories to share as a warning & possibly a helpful safety tip or two to keep your back pocket for all the shiny new pledges out there, ended up becoming a conversation about domestic terrorism. Did NOT see that one coming.
We also learned a term many of you will also be hearing for the first time: INCELISM. An INCEL is a person who identifies as being involuntarily celibate. Well…ok, sure! We all know there are people out there that have zero game and a relatively tough time talking to members of the opposite sex…but why should this pose as a threat?
Tara follows several different stories, connecting the dots from an internet sub-culture of sexually frustrated men to an entire ideology that promotes hatred toward not only women, but also toward men & women who appear to have active sex lives. You may be just as surprised to learn that several heart-breaking stories in the news of active shooters, a vehicular ramming attack, and a few other recent cases were all carried out by men who called themselves INCELS. They didn’t even know their victims.
Elliot Roger went on a rampage back in 2014 in his college town of Isla Vista. It was his so-called “Day of Retribution” against all the beautiful women who rejected him. With the plethora of information left behind…including YouTube videos, a diary, and a 137 page manifesto, this killer left society with so much to unpack…but still, more questions than answers.
