Matt C. (an American Indian and Irishman from [[incelistan]]), [[Catfishman]] (a Hispanic banned from [[incels.co]] for many rule violations), and [[Just James]] an Irishman from Youtube are the main incel figures in the doc. A "feminist online misogyny researcher", and the victims and parents of the victims of the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack were also featured. Alek being a member of the non-incel-forum [[4chan]]. The feminist and the families of the victims were something like narrators for the doc. | Matt C.

Much of the doc is featured around Elliot Rodger and [[Alek Minassian]], betraying incels who were assured there would be a balanced view of incels. This was especially weird as neither of those two men were members of incel forums. Only 4-5 minutes of the doc were sympathetic to incels, when Matt gave his take. [[Catfishman]] doesnt count as hes not even in any incel forums and [[Just James]] portrayed himself as an ex-incel.. | |||
The doc plays clips of news comparing incels to ISIS in the intro, and plays scare music throughout most of the doc. Most of the humor of incel forums was lost, which is consistent with how they approached the doc. | The doc plays clips of news comparing incels to ISIS in the intro, and plays scare music throughout most of the doc.
