Mother Jones: “In tying himself most recently to Trump—a man accused of sexual assault by 19 women, and who bragged about grabbing women ‘by the pussy’—Fuentes is advancing one of his latest strategies for cultivating followers: making overtures to men who feel aggrieved by women.”
“Over the past year, Fuentes has made a point of speaking directly to these men—many of whom identify as “incels”—in numerous appearances on his nightly livestream, far-right podcasts, and Telegram. Historically, incels defined themselves as ‘involuntary celibate,’ but the term has become inextricably associated with misogynist incels, men who blame women for their problems and believe women owe them sex.”
Said Fuentes: “I’m an incel, I’m a proud incel.”
