The 'it's not terror related because he's white thing' (&violence against women motive is 'shrugs') [View all]

Incel goes on a violent rampage resulting in the deaths of 6 in Plymouth. Most deadly shooting event in UK for 11 years. His internet footprint is all about misogyny and violence and yet his actions are not terrorism, according to the police... 👀

Lone wolf narrative... cause male pale and stale cannot be perceived as a terrorist by the patriarchy. But the link between terrorism and male violence towards women must not be allowed to be overlooked, again.




We're way overdue a serious interrogation of how online-facilitated cultures which champion misogyny and masculine fantasies, to devastating effect, with loneliness and a loss of security.
