Report Copyright Violation | Alt-Right White Incels? University of Texas Survey says "think again!" [ link to liberalarts.utexas.edu (secure)] The study results partially confirmed and partially disconfirmed the typical media representation of incels. As a group, they are not unusually right-wing. Compared to non-incels, however, they are lonelier, less likely to have social support, more likely to be suffering from anxiety and depression, less likely to be employed or in school, more likely to ruminate on past experiences of victimization, and more likely to be living with their parents. Findings include:
38.85% of the incel participants were right-leaning, 44.70% were left-leaning, and 17.47% were centrist.
A smaller proportion than would be expected by chance identified as white (63.58%), with 36.42% identifying as BIPOC.
17% of incels in the study were not in school, working, or in training, compared to only 9% of non-incels.
36% of incels had a high school level education or lower, compared to 20% of non-incels.
50% of incels reported living with their parents or a caregiver, compared to 27% of non-incels.
75% of incels in the study were clinically diagnosable with severe or moderate depression, and 45% with severe anxiety.
“The misogynistic current in the incel community is real,” said Costello, “and it shouldn’t be ignored, but it may not the best lens through which to understand who these people are, nor how to approach them from a mental health perspective. As or more salient is that they are suffering extraordinarily high levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. They are also, as a group, particularly averse to seeking help from mental health professions.”Yep, so, it confirms what I've been saying from the beginning. Incels aren't White Make Republicans. They're weak, whine victims who don't want to leave home. |
