Despite her politically radical background, she is a frequent guest in the German [[Fakestreamer|mainstream media]] when it comes to Incels. She says herself that this suprises her because her book is a Communist paper and she would even be disappointed if people wouldn’t realize that.<ref name="rosa-luxemburg">Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Rheinland-Pfalz: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzL1M9hRKC0 ''INCELS: Geschichte, Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults.

She usually describes Incels as right-wingers. Even [[Ethnicel]]s are considered as such by her, because they "internalized" White supremacy and "blatant racism" by adopting [[JBW]].<ref name="hasi">hasi: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM3QflFoDAM ''Veronika Kracher über Incels – Zur Sprache und Ideologie eines Online-Kults''], YouTube, 27 September 2020.</ref><ref name="baf">Bildungsstätte Anne Frank: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hx1AWTqmI ''TuesdayTalk #19: "Incels" mit Veronika Kracher''], YouTube, 1 December 2020.</ref> In her book, she dedicates two pages to Germany’s most prominent self-identified Incel and JBW advocate: [[Hamudi]].<ref>Kracher, p. 202-203</ref>

She believes that Inceldom can be prevented if boys receive a Feminist education, e.g. [[Bluepill|being taught to express emotions and not be tough]].<ref name="hannover">Kritik und Subversion Hannover: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oscG7Cfer0A&list=FLFb1kmqOLoZFigSlx_UYVww ''Interview über Incels und toxische Männlichkeit - mit Veronika Kracher und Kritik & Subversion''], YouTube, 2 September 2020.</ref> She believes this would work, because she views sex roles as socially constructed and rejects evolutionary psychlogy/biology.
