Behind the Scenes

Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or &ldquo;involuntary celibates.&rdquo; Incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called &ldquo;Chads&rdquo;&mdash;the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence.&nbsp;
Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world&mdash;not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they&rsquo;re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on hate&mdash;and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.
