This article investigates conceptions of morality within the framework of ressentimentful victimhood in the manosphere, while also exploring avenues for resistance among young individuals encountering the “hatred pipeline”. In Study 1, we use the emotional mechanism of ressentiment to examine how incels construct narratives of victimhood rooted in the notion of sexual entitlement that remains owed and unfulfilled, alongside its “black pill” variant emphasising moral and epistemic superiority. Through a linguistic corpus analysis and content examination of 4chan and Incel.is blog posts, we find evidence of ressentiment morality permeating the language and communication within the incel community, characterised by blame directed at women, and the pervasive themes of victimhood, powerlessness, and injustice. In Study 2, we delve into young individuals’ reflections on incel morality and victimhood narratives as they engage with online networks of toxic masculinity in the manosphere. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with young participants who have accessed the manosphere, we explore their perceptions of risks, attribution of blame, and experiences of empathy towards individuals navigating the “hatred pipeline”. Our analysis underscores the significance of ressentiment in elucidating alternative conceptions of morality and victimhood, while shedding light on the potential for acceptance or resistance within online environments characterised by hatred.

马诺圈中的怨恨：道德观念和非自愿独身者仇恨管道中的抵抗途径

本文研究了人类圈中怨恨受害者的道德概念，同时也探讨了遭遇“仇恨管道”的年轻人的抵抗途径。在研究一中，我们利用怨恨的情感机制来研究非独身者如何构建受害叙事，这种叙事植根于仍然欠下和未实现的性权利概念，以及强调道德和认知优越性的“黑药丸”变体。通过对 4chan 和 Incel.is 博客文章的语言语料库分析和内容检查，我们发现了怨恨道德渗透到 incel 社区内的语言和交流的证据，其特点是针对女性的指责，以及受害者、无能为力和暴力的普遍主题。不公正。在研究 2 中，我们深入研究了年轻人在接触男性圈中有毒男性气质的在线网络时对非独道德和受害者叙事的反思。通过对进入过马诺圈的年轻参与者进行半结构化访谈，我们探讨了他们对风险的看法、责任的归属以及对“仇恨管道”中的个人的同情经历。我们的分析强调了怨恨在阐明道德和受害者的替代概念方面的重要性，同时揭示了在以仇恨为特征的网络环境中接受或抵制的可能性。
