YouTube, 4Chan and Incels: Investigating the mechanism and process of indoctrination and radicalisation of misogynistic terrorists to inform formation

为了及时解决被定义为乱伦的在线亚文化成员所犯下的厌恶女性的恐怖主义问题，这项急需的研究调查了使乱伦文化蓬勃发展的广泛和主流的厌恶女性结构之间的联系，特别关注灌输和激进化的假设机制。使用混合方法，建构主义设计应用于在线民族志，这篇论文测试了这样一种假设，即特定的在线媒体平台，论坛和评论员促进了一种厌恶女性的意识形态，这种意识形态使年轻人相信他们是“危险女性”进行的野蛮形式的不公正迫害的受害者，导致他们在厌恶女性的小众空间内被灌输和激进化，这些空间庆祝和倡导针对外部群体成员的在线和离线暴力，特别是妇女和他们认为对他们所谓的压制负有责任的男子。对这些空间和个人的分析为干预和反干预的起源提供了机会。叙事策略，旨在推进一种替代视角，以确定目前在主流和利基社会中普遍存在的厌女症叙事通信系统。通过同时分析这类意识形态暴力的肇事者以及可能为恐怖分子提供便利的网站、在线评论员和社区，将有可能考虑和制定在年轻男性生活的关键圣人处实施的线上和线下干预措施，以打击相对不受挑战的错误信息流，宣传和强制性媒体宣传在流行和日益频繁的利基在线空间中很容易获得。

Addressing the timely issue of misogynistic terrorism perpetrated by members of the online subcultureself defined as incels, this much needed research investigates the link between widespread andmainstream misogynistic structures that enable incel cultures to thrive, focusing specifically upon ahypothesised mechanism of indoctrination and radicalisation.Using a mixed methods constructivist design applied to an online ethnography, this thesis tests thesupposition that specific online media platforms, forums and commentators promote a misogynisticideology that convinces young men they are victims of a savage form of unjust persecution carried outby the 'dangerous woman', leading to their indoctrination and radicalisation within niche misogynisticonline spaces that celebrate and advocate online and offline violence towards members of out groups,specifically women and the men they see as responsible for their purported suppression.Analysis of these spaces and individuals provides opportunity for the genesis of an intervention andcounter-narrative strategy seeking to advance an alternative perspective to identified misogynisticnarratives currently prevalent within mainstream and niche social systems of communication. Throughsimultaneous analysis of the perpetrators of this type of ideological violence and the websites, onlinecommentators and communities that potentially facilitate the pathway to terrorist, it will be possible toconsider and develop on and offline interventions implemented at key sages of young male's lives tocombat the relatively unchallenged stream of misinformation, propaganda and coercive mediacommunication readily accessible within popular and increasingly frequented niche online spaces.
