Incel hits himself in face with hammer because he thinks it will improve looks

A new Channel 4 documentary shares the underground world of 'incels' (involuntarily celibate) and their role in promoting misogyny and rape culture.

"It’s not uncommon for people in the looksmaxxing industry to get a hammer," the masked man says, tapping a hammer on his face to show how it works.
