Is Alek Minassian, the Toronto van attack suspect, an incel? An odd message enthusing that an “Incel Rebellion has already begun!” apparently appeared on Minassian’s Facebook account not long before the rampage. One message has not proved enough for police to come to any conclusions about Minassian’s motive yet, and rightly so. Toronto activist Kristyn Wong-Tam tweeted Tuesday: “The hatred and violence that fuelled Alek Minassian’s attack yesterday is best described as misogyny.” Others blamed Minassian’s alleged murders on “toxic masculinity” and the radicalization of white men. There are plenty more that simply emphasize how ugly, disgusting and pathetic incels are (the word “losers” appears again and again).
