Hope, cope and rope. The sad truth behind the incels movement.

The incel (involuntary celibate) community has been thrust into the spotlight after Alek Minassian drove a van into a crowd of people in Toronto, killing ten and injuring fourteen. He posted on facebook that this was a tribute to a famous incel, Elliot Rodgers, who killed six people in 2014. Many of you are already aware of this bit. Probably why you are here.

While the attack was not considered terrorism, the revelation that he possibly identified as an incel has brought the idea that maybe it could in fact be defined as a terrorist attack. And that a previously unknown subculture could be defined as a terrorist group.
