The Mexican Incel: Cultural translation of the global crisis of masculinity

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
This paper seeks to establish how the Incel subculture culturally translates to the Mexican context with an interdisciplinary approach which involves a linguistics analysis of mx/Hispachan forum data, research into hegemonic masculinity and misogynistic cyberbullying. This article focuses on the divergences between the language of English speaking Incel communities and the jargon of Mexican Incels. Spanish speaking Incel communities are extremely rare and underdeveloped, as a consequence they have not yet been investigated academically. This research demonstrates how Mexican Incel communities express different manifestations of the misogyny and racism they have in common with the global Incel community. The findings of this research highlights online misogyny which is enabled and exacerbated by the growth of spaces such as the manosphere.
