Incels, a portmanteau of the term , operate in online communities to discuss difficulties in attaining sexual relationships. Past reports have found that multiple elements of the incel culture are misogynistic and favorable towards violence. Further, several violent incidents have been linked to this community, which suggests that incel communities may resemble other ideologically motivated extremist groups. The current study employed an inductive qualitative analysis of over 8,000 posts made in two online incel communities to identify the norms, values, and beliefs of these groups from a subcultural perspective. Analyses found that the incel community was structured around five interrelated normative orders: the sexual market, women as naturally evil, legitimizing masculinity, male oppression, and violence. The implications of this analysis for our understanding of extremism and the role of the internet in radicalization to violence are considered in depth.
独身主义者（Incels），是“非自愿独身者”（involuntary celibates）一词的混合词，他们在网络社区中讨论难以建立性关系的问题。过去的报告发现，独身主义者文化的多个元素是厌恶女性的，并支持暴力。此外，有几起暴力事件与这个社区有关，这表明独身主义者社区可能类似于其他具有意识形态动机的极端主义团体。本研究采用了对两个在线独身主义者社区中发布的 8000 多条帖子的归纳定性分析，从亚文化的角度来确定这些群体的规范、价值观和信仰。分析发现，独身主义者社区围绕着五个相互关联的规范秩序构建：性市场、女性天生邪恶、男性气质合法化、男性压迫和暴力。从深层次上考虑了这种分析对我们理解极端主义以及互联网在暴力激进化中的作用的影响。
