Both men and women videogame players tend to endorse a representation of masculinity that includes aggression and the suppression of emotions, according to a 2019 study.
This has negative implications for society as a whole, by encouraging toxic behaviour.

According to a 2023 study, the identity of white nationalist groups is more fluid than we think.
Even if they consider race to be fixed and biological, they frequently debate the boundaries of what is "white" or not.
Ironically, their own discussions reaffirm that race is a social construct.

The far right has an ambivalent relationship with authority: both anti-elitist and authoritarian.
Even if these attitudes are contradictory, they both respond to the feeling of insecurity fostered by the rhetoric of the far right.

Incels are often seen as White. Yet some identify as Black or Asian.
Incel rhetoric builds on this, using concepts such as ‘racepill’, which mainly push to make one's racial identity invisible (‘just be white’).
It raises the question of intersectionality in the incel context.

There is consistent evidence that discrimination is associated with poorer sleep.
It could be due to stress and worry.
This relationship appears to be independent of depression (a disorder that is also often linked to discrimination and sleep).

- increase the severity of symptoms
- reduce the quality of recovery.
This does not seem to be due to treatment underutilization, according to a 2019 study.

It contributes to the perception that the use of force by the police is more justified, threatening the protection of young people.
