Incels (Involuntary celibates): How Online Loneliness Becomes a Public Health Crisis
Episode 4
Saturday, 20 December, 2025

Involuntary celibates, sketchy algorithms and gender wars. In this episode, we break down the world of incels and dig into why some men get sucked in, and how communities can stop the radicalisation. These networks give a fake sense of community, endorse misogyny and link to serious mental health issues like depression and suicidal thoughts. Sources: 1.
