  • Netflix's Adolescence explores the dark incel culture and male rage Here is what Stephen Graham, Netflix's Adolescence co-creator said…

The article from Firstpost discusses Netflix's French series "Adolescence," which explores the dark themes of incel culture and misogyny. The series, while fictional, delves into the life of a young man named Tommy who becomes increasingly isolated and resentful, eventually leading him to engage with an online community of incels. "Adolescence" does not directly adapt a true story but reflects real-world issues surrounding incel culture, where individuals, primarily men, feel marginalized by society and harbor deep-seated anger towards women. The show aims to shed light on how such ideologies can develop and the potential for violence they can foster, drawing parallels to real-life incidents where incels have committed acts of violence. The narrative also touches on themes of mental health, societal expectations, and the impact of online echo chambers, providing a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked misogyny and isolation.
