    Revealing and intriguing

    I am always interested in learning about the various groups and subcultures that have developed on the internet since the early 2000's. This film goes beyond the nerdy and depressing "incel" culture and really explores why youth are drawn to these communities. I appreciate the neutrality of this work. Give it a watch. For what it is 10/10

    Sweeping the monsters from under the bed

    In every other aspect of life people are treated as individuals and not held accountable for the actions of other loosely related people.

    For the first time ever i think this topic has been covered with some humanity instead of purposefully trying to demonise the subjects.

    The world seems increasingly more bland and alienating for a massive portion of the population, its liberating to actually have somebody give a voice to that and allow some of these people to speak.

    The internet is definitely the modern equivalent of subculture, however vague and ill defined it might be. This film attempts to capture this point in history in a open minded and often beautiful way.

    I hope in the future people view this Documentary in the same way that we view Penelope Spheeris' "Decline of Western Civilization". It definitely deserves it.

    Generation defining for a specific type of people

    You see what's in this documentary everyday when you've grown up with the internet. And not only does this doc cover the common mindsets and themes of this subculture well, it also sticks to the atmosphere of said subculture while explaining it. Its a painfully beautiful thing to see these people at these points in their lives but at least they're going through it together. But hey, we're all gonna make it. Right?

    Interesting doc definitely worth a watch

    Interesting look at incels that isn't filtered through media sensationalism and fear mongering. Looks at the conditions that created the subculture and what the people inside actually have to say

    Had potential, misses the mark

    The documentary is essentially a collection of scattered thoughts from its mainly stereotypically 'emo' characters and lacks a coherent narrative for the viewer to latch onto. There was an opportunity here to show mainstream viewers how interesting and even impactful this subculture really is, and only during Kantbot's segments do we get a frustratingly brief glimpse of this.

    Because of the characters featured and the choice of style over substance (flashing Wojak up on the screen every time a loser says something sad is not deep), normie viewers will sadly go away with the same 'incel' caricature this documentary seemed as if it was attempting to humanize.
