A Multidimensional Computational Analysis of Dehumanization in Incel Discourse
Paper presented at ICWSM 2026 in the Toxic Counterpublics session. The study introduces a theory-informed, multidimensional computational analysis of gendered dehumanization in incel discourse, comparing women- and men-associated terms across negative evaluation, moral disgust, animalistic framing, mind denial, and agency denial.
