Poll results and incels

Published: May 22nd 2018, 2:37:19 am

I did a poll asking which topic you'd like me to cover next and the topic with the most votes was involuntary celibacy. I've been doing research and I'm familiar with the kind of terrorist mentality that some people who identify this way have. They call themselves incels and they've been responsible for at least four mass shootings in the US. 

I want to cover the topic. I think that education about misogyny and violence is important but my concern is that an episode which will in part discuss the extreme incels, will also attract them to Sexplanations and create a environment that is hostile. 

I don't want them to harass me or the other members of our community. I don't want them to target any of us. I'm scared. 

Anyway this email is my effort to crowd source some solutions. How do you envision an episode about involuntary celibacy going? Is there a way to do it without a blacklash that will do more harm than good? 

Thanks for the feedback!

Warmly, 

Lindsey
