Because incels see themselves as third-rate men, they also give each other tips to appear “more masculine”. Among other things, the name of Daniel Brusco, a Zurich surgeon, appears in the forums. Patients come to his practice to have their jaws widened to give them a more masculine appearance. Like the surgeon opposite «ZurichToday» says he is aware that his contact circulates on such platforms. “No one comes out in that sense. But based on how the patients deal with themselves, it can partly go in this direction. » But that doesn’t bother him as long as he himself is not associated with the ideology of the movement.

The movement is not a new phenomenon. Since this year, however, it has been closely monitored by the Federal Office of Police (Fedpol). Follow the phenomenon of incels in the context of strategic analysis activity.
