The discussion centers on the phenomenon of “incels” (involuntary celibates), noting that while it is widely discussed globally, much of the existing discourse originates from Anglo-Saxon contexts and may not accurately reflect different societal conditions. A report by Petra Dvořáková suggests that the incel community in Czechia or Slovakia is not easily found online, indicating that this phenomenon is not well-researched locally. She attributes this partly to cultural trends reaching Central Europe with a delay compared to the West. Furthermore, she observes that Slovak and Czech incels are sometimes mocked as being “fake” because they live in countries with higher proportions of women who adhere more closely to traditional gender roles. Dvořáková also suggests that the local relationship with feminism differs from Western nations; since anti-feminism is relatively common there, incels cannot define themselves against it as strongly as in the West. She cautions that her writings should not be taken as a representative study of Czech incels.
