Hate for women: Incels and Dogolachan
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.21119/anamps.11.1.e1301Keywords:
adolescence, dogolachan, INCELS, masculinitiesAbstract
This research is an investigation into digital male communities, especially the Dogolachan forum, and its interfaces with the series Adolescence (Netflix, 2025). With the background of the community of involuntary celibates (INCELS), the text presents a bibliographic review in the field of masculinities regarding INCELS classifications and seeks to understand the process of radicalization of masculinities and the tone of hatred towards women disseminated and multiplied in digital environments. Finally, the research offers a more precise delimitation of the characterizations of masculinities in the digital field between INCELS and Redpills and explores their structural similarities arising from a common feeling whose response is violence.
