A radicalização de comunidades online a partir de ideologias de ultradireita

A manosfera e a cultura incel

Abstract

The article focuses on the process of online community radicalization influenced by far-right ideologies, taking the manosphere and incel culture as a case study. For the development of the research, it was crucial to understand the origins, ideological foundations, and radical influences that affect online communities and eventually lead to radicalization processes under the influence of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and authoritarian ideals. In this sense, the article identifies that online communities, especially in the form of chans, have become a safe space for the proliferation of far-right ideas, as they offer security and anonymity to participants. The manosphere and incel culture are part of this context, representing organized groups on digital platforms under the guidance of far-right ideologies. However, there is a contemporary trend of normalizing these ideas, which expands their influence and results in radical actions in the real world, corresponding to an impactful research agenda with potential for exploration.
