What Is an Incel—And How Do You Spot One? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott ExplainsDescription:What exactly is an “incel”? The term gets tossed around a lot, but most people don’t really understand what it means—or how dangerous it can be. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks it down: what an incel actually is, how the identity forms, and the psychological traits that show up over and over in violent offenders who’ve embraced this label.We talk about common signs—obsessive thoughts about women, black-and-white thinking, the belief that they’re genetically cursed, and a growing fascination with violence. Shavaun walks us through the mindset, the language, and the online environments that incubate these beliefs.And more importantly—we talk about how to spot one. Whether it’s someone you know or a public figure showing all the signs, this episode gives you the tools to recognize incel ideology for what it is: a dangerous, misogynistic framework that’s taken root in modern digital culture.From the red flags to the ripple effects, this is the crash course you didn’t know you needed.#WhatIsAnIncel #IncelPsychology #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeProfiles #BryanKohberger #MassShooterPsychology #RedFlagBehavior #BlackpillCulture #OnlineRadicalization #HiddenKillersPodcastWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspodInstagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspodX Twitter https://x.com/tonybpodListen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
