The Incelosphere, populated by Incels, is an online subculture of people who define themselves as unable to get a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one (Involuntary Celibate[1]). It is mainly male-dominated and has been connected to "Male Supremacy" and the Men's Rights Movement. Media coverage of the Incelosphere tends to scapegoat the movement as a threat akin to terrorism, describing its influence on young males in infantilizing terms and using a few isolated examples of violent Incels[2] to characterize the entire movement.

Sleeping giant?

While the Incel movement is both amenable to socially libertarian positions on the Age of Consent and considerable in size (2.6M people per month at one of the more popular forums in 2022[3]) MAPs tend to criticize it as inward facing and defeatist in its philosophy. Other MAPs criticize the Incel movement for widely held attitudes towards women deemed incompatible with progressive civil rights discourse.
