Are you somehow thinking that "Giving incels help" means "enable them to continue being assclowns"? Because that's the only way I can make sense of what you're writing.
Giving potential offenders help in the form of enabling them to form relationships which aren't abusive is helping not just incels, but also the people they would victimise. This isn't a zero-sum game helping them to get their shit together is a win-win scenario.
Thank you. It's not like they're getting "special incel" mental health, its literally just normal mental health treatment that we have to find a way to get to them. Everyone here seems to think therapists are going to star talking like podcast bros, no, we just need more mental health everywhere, and that somehow pisses them off. Inhumane fucks.
Vaguely gestures at Dr. K
Unfamiliar with him personally, and the phrase 'podcast bro' left a lot of vagueness so that's on me, but in my mind when I said podcast bros I was meaning the ones who try to outright justify the maladaptive responses rather than address the root traumas, names like Tate and other unmentionables, and I hope hes a far cry from that kind of podcast since it seems hes a real psychiatrist.
If someone wants to adopt the overall podcast style in a professional and healthy way, to me that becomes more an example of 'meeting people where they're at'. Which is necessary and best practice in lots of Mental Health and Social Work situations. Everyone struggling with MH deserves to be met where they are at IMO, if it was easy for everyone to just walk into a therapists office, my guess is many more would do it, and we wouldn't see rising MH issues across almost all strata of society.
Dr. K is actually much more on the therapist than podcaster side, incels have come up but that's because the incel topic is gamer-adjacent, not because he'd be targeting that audience, as is I doubt this kind of thing can reach the actually misogynist ones (the interviewee was involuntarily celibate but not whatever-pilled). To specifically address those going a bit undercover and looking like a Guru would probably be necessary. Something like a mixture of Dr. K's qualifications, Vaush's erm combativeness and Hampton's biceps and attitude. Would be a thin line between keeping things sane and hitting notes the audience expects, maybe along the lines of "real men don't hit women, we tickle" -- I'm of a generation and place where we actually, and truly, would gang-tickle girls in our teens. Never did them any harm and I in fact got dates out of it as apparently it's giving them a sense of security, "those guys can throw down but don't mean me any harm". In that context, I learned the difference between being scary (like a monster) and being intimidating (like a rollercoaster): Girls by and large like the latter but rightfully loathe the former. That kind of lesson, I think, is exactly what people who go down the incel pipeline lack.
