Abstract
Amaç ve Kapsam: Bu çalışmada istem dışı bekar kalan erkek topluluğu olarak bilinen ınceller ve bu topluluğun taşıdığı toplumsal riskler sosyal hizmet bakış açısıyla ele alınmaktadır, incel, istemsiz bekâr anlamına gelen ve İngilizce "involuntary celibate" kavramının kısaltılmış hâlidir, incel topluluğu, romantik ve cinsel partner arayışında olmalarına rağmen dış görünüşleri nedeniyle kendi istekleri dışında yalnız kalan ve bu durumdan kadınları ve toplumu sorumlu tutan erkeklerden oluşmaktadır. Bu bildirinin amacı incel tanımına, genel özelliklerine ve 'incel jargonuna' yönelik kavramsal bir çerçeve sunmak ve sosyal hizmet perspektifiyle incel söyleminin gerek kadınlar gerekse toplumun tümü için oluşturduğu risklere yönelik eleştirel bir farkındalık geliştirmektir. Kuramsal/Kavramsal Çerçeve: incel terimi ilk kez 1990’11 yıllarda yalnız insanların birbirine destek olması için bir kadın tarafından kurulan forumda kullanılmıştır. Sonuç: Inceller üzerine yürütülen tartışmaların çoğu bu topluluğun taşıdığı şiddet potansiyeli ve bu şiddetin nasıl önleneceği ile ilgilidir. İnsan haklarının korunması, kadının özgürleşmesi ve güçlenmesi, gençlerin ihtiyaç ve sorunlarının çözümlenmesi, toplum refahının sağlanması ve yükseltilmesi gibi temel amaçlara sahip sosyal hizmet için incel hareketin bu söylemleri sorunun endişe yaratan boyutunu göstermektedir.
Aim and Scope: This study discusses incels, also known as the involuntary celibate male community, and the social risks they pose from a social work perspective, incel is the abbreviated form of the English term 'involuntary celibate'. The incel community consists of men who, despite seeking romantic and sexual partners, are involuntarily single because of their appearance and blame women and society for this situation. Theoretical/Conceptual Framework: The term incel was first used in the 1990s in a forum set up by a woman for lonely people to support each other. Over time, this formation, which has become a platform with its own jargon such as 'Chad', 'Stacy', 'normie', 'normie', 'alpha', 'beta', where heterosexual men are in the majority and people are categorised according to their ethnicity, 'sexual market value' or social status, has become misogynistic through the characterisation of women as 'foids', i.e. humanoid creatures that should only exist for reproductive purposes, have no minds and act on hormones. As members of a culturally, economically and politically substructured and potentially violent subculture consisting mainly of men under the age of 25 living with their families, incels are 'obsessed' with their appearance, claim that they cannot find sexual or romantic partners because they are unattractive, and therefore hate women and society. At the root of their thinking is the unrealistic belief that no matter what they do, unless they are very rich, tall, muscular, handsome and white skinned, their sexual market value is very low. Conclusion: Most of the discussions on incels are about the potential for violence that this community carries and how to prevent this violence. These discourses of the incel movement for social work, which has basic aims such as the protection of human rights, the emancipation and empowerment of women, the solution of the needs and problems of young people, and the provision and promotion of social welfare, show the worrying dimension of the problem
