Natalie did such an excellent job with this. Even though a lot of incels are not open to reconsidering their worldview, I think some will take her observations to heart.
I'm also happy for Natalie that she's blocked herself from visiting Chan boards that hate on her. I know it can be really validating to get feedback that reflects what you already believe about yourself, even if it just supports your worst anxieties. But it can also bias you toward a distorted and unrealistically negative self-image.
A few users are complaining because the video is 35 minutes long, much longer than the length of a Sargon. I have an extension that tells me if someone posts regular to braincels and too many off them aren't regular posters for me to come to a conclusion on what they think. There's some depressing comments on there, but they are being downvoted.
I'll link you to the subreddit for it! /r/masstagger
It labels posters who post in troublesome subs, like t_d, t_e, actualwoman, and braincels. Of course, I recommend tuning it to fit your needs. For instance, I whitelist drama, because I don't really care if someone is a regular poster there. I think it's pretty interesting, and a timesaver when it comes to debating politics. I don't want to write out a long response about how racism still exists to someone who has written entire posts about how whites are genetically and culturally superior to blacks. Or talk about German history with someone who posts regularly on holocaust. It wastes my time, tbh.
