Description:
We’ve all heard the word “incel” thrown around—usually after another headline about a mass shooting or hate-fueled violence. But where does that mindset actually come from? In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to go deep into the psychology behind incel ideology—what drives it, where it starts, and why it keeps spreading.
Shavaun walks us through the emotional landscape of many of these young men: loneliness, rejection, isolation, resentment. But we also talk about how this internal pain gets externalized—how it turns into entitlement, anger toward women, and, in extreme cases, violent revenge.
We explore the roots of this movement—from early online forums and Elliot Rodger's manifesto, to the current ecosystem of toxic online communities that validate hatred in real time. If you've ever wondered how someone gets pulled into this world, or why it keeps happening over and over again, this conversation explains it in human terms.
This isn’t about making excuses—it’s about understanding the red flags before they become another breaking news alert. And it starts with asking the right questions.
