Police and schools have issued warnings to parents about a 'sinister emoji' code used by incel teenagers in the wake of the success of Netflix hit Adolescence.
Is there no end to the ridiculous panic over this TV propaganda? Now every quango and charlatan wants a piece of the 'incel' grift...
Teachers and police forces have distributed a 'periodic table of sinister emojis' believed to be used by under-18s to conceal disturbing messages about violence, sex, drugs, and extremism.
In case any parents were thinking 'Whew! At last, the police and schools are on OUR side!' then I caution you to think again.
Merseyside Police have already circulated the emoji table to schools and parents, according to the Liverpool Echo. However, critics have dismissed the warnings as 'moral panic'.
And they are right.
Amit Kalley, the founder of education charity For Working Parents urged mothers and fathers to 'keep researching and asking the right questions' about their children's digital lives. He told the Telegraph: 'The table I created is far from an exhaustive list, but I wanted to include emojis beyond incel and misogyny, because lots of young people are groomed online into drugs and violence and lots of young people are involved in dangerous sexual behaviours, which they can hide from parents by using emojis and acronyms. '
OK, Amit, I'll ask questions: Why the hell is anyone expected to listen to you and your little grift frightening parents about what their kids might be getting up to? You don't appear to have any qualifications for this, after all.

Whenever I read about an Activist I ask myself if they are "well intentioned" (although they may still be wrong) or a shit-stirrer for the sake of their own gratification and career.
I would suggest that a fair number of these charities don't actually want the problems to go away, as they would be out of work. Subject to an update of the two tiered benefit system, they would have to find a proper job, so take advantage of a new, disturbing, trend.
I watched Adolescence, and thought the story line and acting were brilliant. However, I couldn't help wondering if this programme would have been made if the young lad was black?
Perhaps only white people can be accused of being incels, whatever that is?

Incel = involuntary celibate, basically guys who can't get laid. Personally I have had periods of my life when I didn't have a willing partner in my life, I wasn't aware that I became a horrible and dangerous person during such times.

Thanks for the explanation, yet another term I'm unfamiliar with! The joys of getting old...
