Welcome to spooky psychology with Megan and Lauren. Today we are discussing the psychology of Incels. ALL the trigger warnings for this episode (SA, pedophilia, racism, homophobia, violence against women, etc.)

** UPDATE** we are going to take a brief hiatus until the new year so that we can make sure we are consistently coming out with content. See you in 2023 and stay spooky!
