Involuntary celibates (incels) tend to be males who view themselves are undateable and unable to have sexual relationships with women. Typically, their outlook is hostile toward conventionally attractive women and men. They are known for their expressions of loneliness, inadequacy, and frustration related to what they feel is their lot in life. Although many studies focused on the quantitative variables associated with incels, there was little qualitative focus on emotions expressed by incels in their online posts. Using Bandura's social cognitive theory, this psycholinguistic study explored the language and expressed emotions of incels on the blackpill.club website. This was accomplished by employing the GoEmotions data set to identify the sentiment expressed at the thread topic level and individual post level. The top five emotions expressed were found to be associated with admiration, approval, confusion, relief, and caring. From there the corpus of posts was refined to only focus on the top 90th percent of expressed user emotion in posts. Among the top 90th percentile, emotions related to anger, caring, sadness, disgust, disappointment, joy, and embarrassment were most prevalent. The final aspect of the analysis was that of post-length analysis. This study found eight individuals shared posts in excess of 10,000 characters. Exceedingly long posts were valuable for better understanding the experiences of an individual as well as providing a greater range of emotional expressions. The results of this study may be used for positive social change for self-harm intervention, tipping and cueing of a person's potential for or intent to conduct attacks, and building on the corpus of knowledge related to marginalized communities, online behavior, and psychological and interventional tools at the disposal of the psychological community and law enforcement personnel.
