In October 2018, it was announced that the project had been commissioned (i.e. its budget had been approved) and that production could therefore begin. Many people in general have expressed skepticism and suspicion about the motives and intentions of the documentarians. However, there was mild excitement for the project because the BBC actually has a research department and all other previous news pieces had been very shallow. Some incel forum users also regarded the BBC as less [[SJW]] than other outlets, and so they were more willing to interact with the BBC than say [[Vice]]. | ||

A week before the online release, the BBC featured who appeared to be [[catfishman]] (someone who is banned from incel forums) in a mask (photos of him without a mask are everywhere). The synopsis of the doc referred to vague and fake scare-terms such as [[incel movement|"incel ideology"]] (there is no ideology besides [[determinism]]), [[incel movement|incel subculture]] (its not a subculture), and a, "secret world" (all the forums are public and on the clearnet). | A week before the online release, the BBC featured who appeared to be [[catfishman]] (someone who is banned from incel forums) in a mask (photos of him without a mask are everywhere).
