Angry Young Men

Throughout 2018 and 2019 Center for Digital Youth Care have been gathering information and conducting observations into anti-women and -equality environments online. The initial digital and pedagogical analysis is represented in the Danish report ‘Vrede unge mænd’ (Angry Young Men), and is currently awaiting translation.

The magazine is analyzing both the social, pedagogical, and psychological components of the young men engaging in right-wing or anti-women communities online. The magazine was produced with social-, school- and police-workers needing insights for engaging young men heading for digital radicalization communities, or needing to understand the bonds that tie vulnerable people to such communities in mind, yet also garnered a large interest from other Danish helplines working with at-risk or vulnerable young people.

The magazine is specifically analyzing the alt-right and incel-movements, but can also be used to gain an understanding of general right wing and manosphere-communities. Both specific “sub-cultures” have been chosen as representatives in the magazine, as they have been at the forefront of the last years’ media focus. The current political climate in Europe has largely contributed to the rise of the alt-right as a reactionary and conservative ethno- and culture-protectionistic movement. And as egalitarian movements for women like MeToo, and minorities like BlackLivesMatter, the rise of men-first movements focusing on sexual frustration and ethnic essentialism was spurred into existence - nowhere as aggressively as in the incel-movement.
