Thesis Title
Incels and Neoliberal Platform Capitalism

Research Description
This thesis focuses on the relationship between incels and neoliberalism and argues that the current generation of incels has developed as a result of increasingly pervasive neoliberal logics, especially on social media. Of particular interest are the influence of neoliberal affects, post-feminism, and platform capitalism on the emergence of incels and the evolution of the incel culture.
