BBC Three documentary on Incel

wants to interview British incels u/droflight if interested. he dm'd me

​

Edit: I really appreciate that it's not easy for members of the Incel community to reach out to the media, and that there is a high level of concern amongst Incels over being misrepresented and caricatured, so I want to start by giving you some more information about the project that we are working on.

As the channel for 16-34 year-olds it's our job to report on issues that affect young people in the UK. The Incel community is clearly dealing with a lot of areas that young British people are familiar with in other contexts, such as loneliness, oppression, sexuality, depression, suicide etc. We feel that it is important for us to engage with these issues in a serious and open manner and that our audience will be interested in hearing these areas being discussed by Incels.

We are also very aware that the above issues are somewhat hidden within a subculture that has had highly negative media coverage owing to its links to a number of mass killings in North America.

What we plan to do is to provide an unbiased picture of the Incel community, exploring its view of the world and the experiences of Incels that have led them to hold those views. As such this will be the opportunity for Incels to properly get their voices heard and to put across their side of this story. As the UK's public broadcaster, we are obliged to provide fair, accurate and impartial coverage of these issues and we can point to past documentaries at BBC Three that have dealt with polarised areas of debate in this way. We are currently speaking with a number of prominent members of the Incel community, including forum moderators and vloggers, who I believe can vouch for us approaching this subject matter seriously and sensitively.

At this stage we are looking to speak with people who are Incel for an informal chat about their experiences with relationships. This is for research purposes only and would not be for broadcast. I’m wondering if you would be up for speaking to me about your situation?

Given how the UK is turning into a police state where you get arrested for posting something on Twitter, you must be retarded if you think anyone is gonna agree to this.

Let's agree to disagree. I'm a right to free speech first amendment kinda guy. I don't care what kinda tarring ppl do to virgin men, I do not want them persecuted by the government.

Interview for an incel documentary?

What could go wrong?

OutsideDreamOP•

well clearly all sorts of things. but for a community that genuinely feels misunderstood and marginalized would like to hope somebody would feel able to speak to him even just by message. but own choice & no judgement either way

yeah, right, the BBC would probably skew the whole interview like CNN did with the MGTOW guy so incels would just get slandered

After the May one I noticed people linking different attacks as incel ones, like ER obviously, a few more from Canada dating back to the 80s I think, blaming several of the recent school shootings on incels.

How much of a pathetic, worthless piece of shit does one have to be to create a documentary about lonely virgins on the internet?

Really says a lot about this world

not agreeing or disagreeing but he cited loneliness, mental health, isolation & exclusion in longer dm. kinda current topics & relevant to many men's lives. and countering image of violent ppl. edit: copied text of message into post. not saying do or don't talk to him … but …. only way to get your voice heard is to use it

An honest approach would be a good thing, make people aware of the issues, have some sympathy, learn to have a nuanced approach to some of the whacky things said and realize not all of you participate in it just because certain sub sections of incels do. Of course seeing that many news articles I read after the attack in Toronto were basically saying that incels are a sub movement of the alt right comprised entirely of angry young white nationalists who want to communize women's bodies, I wouldn't expect fair or useful treatment from the media.

How would they know if you're legit?

It doesn't really matter who they "interview" because they're just going to twist the words to fit their agenda anyway

I recall seeing a youtube video where the girl read "rope" and just assumed it was a typo for rape, which of course set her off about how you guys are all violent hateful potential rapists looking to rape her at any second which is why she has to be a rude bitch to ugly guys. It of course descended into you all live in your moms' basements never interacting with the world outside of 4chan and reddit and expect supermodels to come down to fuck you.

BBC? As in, the government spokesperson whose job is to lowkey sabotage British culture with indiscriminate debauchery in every social and economical aspect of each nation in Great Britain?

Yeet.

I'm not personally interested to do an interview. But since you said you are interested in presenting a non-stereotyped case, my recommendation is that to get information from a wider demographic of men struggling from issues pertaining to sexual and romantic isolation (some of them non-"incel" identifying) you're welcome to post your question on r/GoodMenGoodValues as well as check out the wealth of resources we have available on the community.
