It also important to note that hitherto none of the mass killers who self-identified as incels committed any acts of sexual violence against women prior to the execution of their massacres, despite their suicidal/homicidal intentions, and the obvious lack of non-metaphysical consequences for such deeds after their deaths. | It also important to note that hitherto none of the mass killers who self-identified as incels committed any acts of sexual violence against women prior to the execution of their massacres, despite their suicidal/homicidal intentions, and the obvious lack of non-metaphysical consequences for such deeds after their deaths. | ||
Rapists tend to have negative views of women, endorse rape myths, and identify with a hypermasculine role,<ref>Robertiello, G., & Terry, K. J. (2007). Can we profile sex offenders? A review of sex offender typologies. Aggression and Violent Behavior, 12(5), 508–518. doi:10.1016/j.avb.2007.02.010 </ref> which does overlap with views in the [[incelosphere|incel subculture]]. However, in actual rapists, these views are likely rather caused by a genetic [[life history|fast life history disposition]], while incels are simply [[redpill]]ed. The question is whether the mere possession of such views increases the risk to commit rape or whether such views outside the incelosphere are only indicative of certain behavioral dispositions which are the actual cause of sexual violence. Related research favors the latter explanation. For example, playing of violent video games does not increase the incidence of real-world violent behavior.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/348071423/Div-46-Video-Games-Societal-Violence-Statement</ref> | Rapists tend to have negative views of women, endorse rape myths, and identify with a hypermasculine role,<ref>Robertiello, G., & Terry, K.

{{quote|The idea that radicalization causes terrorism is perhaps the greatest myth alive today in terrorism research. [...] [First,] the overwhelming majority of people who hold radical beliefs do not engage in violence. And second, ''there is increasing evidence that people who engage in terrorism don’t necessarily hold radical beliefs.''}} | |||
