>Shortly after watching the show, I spoke with William Costello, a PhD student at the University of Texas who is among the few researchers seriously studying the incel subculture. His findings complicate the simplistic narrative many viewers seem to believe "Adolescence" affirms.>One of the most persistent myths about incels is that they are predominantly white far-right extremists. In fact, 42 percent are ethnic minorities, and their average political orientation leans center-left. Incels don't constitute a coherent ideological movement; they share not a political vision but a sense of despair - around sex, status, and social rejection. Moreover, according to Costello's research, 73 percent of self-identified incels meet the criteria for moderate or severe depression, compared with 33 percent of non-incels. Two-thirds are also moderately or severely anxious. More than 50 percent have had suicidal thoughts in the past two weeks. And roughly a third of self-identified incels qualify for a diagnosis on the autism spectrum.Also, Rodger's online history is pretty well documented, and I am not aware of any evidence that he regularly browsed 4chan.
