'Incel' site founder: 'I've asked myself, should I feel guilty?'
Alana didn't start dating until her 20s, so she started a website for other people struggling to form relationships.
The users became known as 'incels' - short for 'involuntary celibate'.
Alana had no idea the community would become one of the most notorious on the internet, and that a radical fringe would channel their loneliness into anger and violence.
She told Anna Foster how it affected her, and why she's still determined to help so-called 'incels'.
