91热爆

23rd April 2018 was the date selected by John Doe as the day he would kill as many residents of Toronto as possible. Witnesses describe seeing a white van mount the pavement on busy Yonge Street and run down pedestrians. Ten people sadly lost their lives.
John Doe drew inspiration from the misogynistic online 鈥渋ncel鈥� movement: groups of men who blame their lack of sexual activity on women and resent sexually 鈥渟uccesful鈥� men.

On this episode of Bad People, Dr Julia Shaw and comedian Sofie Hagen discuss why people become incels. Are incels dangerous? And what can be done to stop people subscribing to this ideology in the first place.

This episode contains audio from the documentary Inside the Secret World of Incels produced by 91热爆 Three and audio from Ben Hurst鈥檚 TED talk.

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence, specifically targeted violence towards women, murder, and mentions of suicide.
