Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of violence against women that some may (or should) find upsetting. Over the years, we’ve covered a lot about the incel / men’s rights movements, and we’ve seen the epidemic evolve and grow more and more since this show’s inception. So this week, let’s take a look at the most modern form of incel, and take a dive into their world: the manosphere. From The Game to Elliot Rodger and Andrew Tate, this episode covers it all.
