Abstrakt
Incele (z ang. involuntary celibates, “osoby żyjące w mimowolnej celibacie”) to oparta przeważnie na sferze internetowej wspólnota, której członkami są najczęściej heteroseksualni mężczyźni. Społeczność ta znana jest jako jedna z najbardziej oczywistych grup prezentujących mizoginiczne postawy (Bates 2020). Znane są różnorodne incelskie fora, których użytkownicy, określani również jako tzw. redpillowcy, spotykają się online, by dyskutować na istotne dla nich tematy. Do miejsc tego rodzaju należą m.in. fora dla członków ruch incelskich, popularne społeczności i wątki na portalu Reddit (r/incels) oraz wyspecjalizowane witryny internetowe (m.in. Incels.is). Mimo, że temat dyskursów inceli był już podejmowany z różnych perspektyw językoznawczych, w tym reprezentacji aktorów społecznych (Heritage i Koller 2020), toksycznego języka w społeczności (Pelzer i in. 2021) oraz języka skrajnej mizoginii (Bogetić 2022), nieliczne badania poświęcono temu, jak omawiana wspólnota kształtuje się na podstawie dyskursywnego wyrażania solidarności. Referat przedstawia analizę dyskusji użytkowników forum Incels.is na temat seksualności i związków, skupiając się na strategiach dyskursywnych wykorzystujących manifestowanie mizoginicznych postaw do tworzenia solidarności między rozmówcami incelami. Przeprowadzona analiza wskazuje, jak w tego typu społeczności internetowej stosowanie pozytywnych i negatywnych strategii grzecznościowych wzmacnia więzi grupowe i jest wyrazem wewnątrzgrupowej solidarności (zarówno bezpośrednio, jak i pośrednio). Analizowane strategie językowe obejmują wykorzystanie sarkazmu, deklarowanie braterstwa (kinship claiming), nieformalny dyskurs oraz negatywną ocenę kobiet.
