Gundermann Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Just heard a bit on Radio Scotland about this. It's being supported by Hearts and being stage at Tynecastle. Apparently aims to tackle mysogyny and incel culture. https://www.thenational.scot/news/23450731.many-good-men-tackles-online-radicalisation-young-people/ https://civicdigits.com/project/many-good-men/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboozy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Good for them & well done Hearts on allowing this. To an auld guy like me, these worrying trends of online culture influencing people, especially young people,is concerning. Back when I was young ( many stones ago) we were influenced and guided by our Journeymen and older relatives and your inbuilt bullshit detector would go off if you thought you were getting a bum steer from any of them. I do worry for the young yins now.😟 Edited February 2 by jamboozy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labelled an incel because he doesn't trust women because he has first hand experiences of how the system is geared to protect them and not children.

If your son is making similar comments to a couple of yours in your post then I could understand why people may be worried he is being radicalised and brainwashed with Incel ideologies.

That’s why when the extreme Incels go on a killing spree they’re happy to kill men and women as they see the men as guilty of empowering the women rather than denegrating them as they do. It’s something to do with blue and black pills but can’t remember the exact colours. Edited February 3 by Pete Elliott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there is a conversation to bad there where one side does not necessarily advocate rape though . Most women are more at risk from abuse and attacks than men , so it makes sense that there are some protections of their rights that are more noticeable in society . Not a debate I want to get in to though as I do not believe society is weighted in their favour , and in many other ways they have things stacked against them in favour of men The bit about women having too much say in choosing who they have sex with is the part that I find extremely worrying . Surely nobody can advocate trying to change that ?

There is no sensible or morally acceptable discussion to be had around that Yeah there’s loads of reprehensible aspects to it, especially the last part you mention. They even sub-divide themselves into true believers and partial believers. That hierarchy encourages them to add even more awful aspects so they can ‘move up.’ Some of those who feel they can’t move up then resort to murder-suicide killings. The key thing behind this event is raising awareness, particularly for parents. This thread also adds to the awareness so it’s good that we’re having an open discussion about it. As we’ve seen above, young people can get lured into the Incel way of thinking for different reasons, even when they have initially been a genuine victim of something.

It seems like things that previously would never become mainstream topics of debate because one side of the argument is so reprehensible are now open to debate as though having some merit . I still sometimes stop and just wonder at some of the things that people try and make cases for .

Folk might dismiss that because they have this notion that being a man is under attack or whatever and this is just part of some agenda. Yet the same folk don't question how young Muslim men have been and are radicalised online. It's the same phenomenon, just a different audience and different target. Folk don't like the terminology and probably think it's part of snowflake (without any hint of irony on this term) culture. But it's a recognised label to describe a certain subculture. We've always had labels for that and it's important to differentiate normal young lads from these guys. I know JKB is a predominantly older demographic and tbf, this is a significant issue for the generation below mine, not mine directly, but I'm close enough to that generation to see the impact that this stuff is having on kids. It's genuinely concerning and when you see how much little kids are now on tablets watching YouTube, I've no idea what we're creating for the future.

Andrew Tate is a name well known with this mindset. Interestingly, he turned to Islam. Putting him aside though, radical feminism is the antithesis. There is so much at the present time which stokes this culture. The breakdown of family values, the demonisation of masculinity which can create this type of push back and a society which is losing touch with core values. These disaffected young men and young women are looking for a place to belong. Not excusing them entirely as there is always a case for personal responsibility however these nefarious groups and individuals prey on the lost and confused.

Generic Username Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Think the wider discussion about incel culture is probably more a Shed topic, but it's a very real & very dangerous "phenomenon" that's been around for some time.
