Reddit banned /r/incels today. WTF is an incel and do I even want to know?
No. No you do not. I wish I didnāt know either, but itās too late for both of us now ā itās short for involuntary celibate, and thatās enough for you to extrapolate the rest of their shitty views toward women.
Particularly hateful, sad and bitter MRAs.
āInvoluntary celibateā I think.
They hate women but also hate themselves. Iāll just say that if you hear about a guy nailing his dick to a board, that is not a joke and leave it at that.
Iāll give a more complete answer since I find the incels to be one of the most shocking and terrifying things Iāve seen for the future of our society.
It starts out with guys who are ugly, fat, socially awkward, or whatever. They have some legitimate gripes about how theyāre treated in our society. They get hopeless and depressed. And then they get on reddit and things spiral out of control.
They whip each other up into a frenzy, encouraging the most pathological thinking.
- āIām lonelyā turns into āIām genetically programmed to never be lovedā.
- āWomen arenāt always angelsā turns into āwomen are robotsā.
- āI deserve to be lovedā turns into āI should be allowed to rapeā.
- āIām not gonna get laidā turns into āIām not gonna use my dick, so why not nail it to a board and post photosā.
The incels are the best evidence Iāve seen so far that social media really is turning people insane.
Iād feel sorry for these guys but now ask them what kind of women theyāre looking for too. My experience with this odd group that can turn scary pretty quickly is their expectation, read as demands, of women is unreasonably high. I donāt understand how they wound up in this self feeding bubble like that.
Wait. āNail it to a boardā isnāt metaphorical?
I wish it was metaphorical. I also wish I was more careful about clicking on links on reddit. Getting rick rolled is annoying. Seeing proof that that really happened isā¦ not something you can ever unsee.
I think what incels really lack is self-awareness. They feed off each other like boiling crabs in a pot. I also suspect most of them didnāt have a formative and substantial relationship with a father figure or older boy mentor to guide them through relationships. It could be a lack of friends too, and glomming onto other incels in the name of loneliness.
Iāve met some semi incels in real life at nerd events (you know the kind ā¦ RPGs, boardgames, Cons, etc.) and what they mostly have in common is they have just given up. They get all fat and greasy, stop bathing, and fall back into the intricate canon of fictional universes like Star Wars, Lotr, Naruto, anime, etc. to escape. They get really into the fiction and become experts in defending their vision of that reality. If only all that time was spent on self improvement instead of self loathing.
But if you have no interest in yourself, why would anyone else care about you? These guys seem to think girls want to surrender themselves to a life of watching their fat greasy boyfriend play videogames and watch TV on the couch. Thatās for after you are married, guys! š
There is some of that, but most of them are just terrible people.
Who want their girlfriends to look like booth babes, anime cos-players or those women in tight shirts that show up on videos on gaming sites.
Itās not just about self awareness, their ideals are ridiculous. Like they eliminate most women from being real women and then agonize over not getting their due attention from this tiny ideal pool theyāve createdā¦ in addition to the self-loathing and hate.
I think the incels are subset who have a culture focused on the hatred part of misogyny. Plenty of the robots on r9k tend to be hopeless romantics or just plain hopeless. Plenty more play up the normie/stacy/chad meme but when you get a real incel they tend to get mocked and insulted.
Vulnerable street waifs or manic pixie dream girls tend to trend above alpha male preferences like you describe, but as you say, its still their idealised version.
Iāve never been so happy to not understand something someone has said. Please donāt explain it to me so that I may find comfort in never knowing.
oh, they are just stereotypes from movies.
Not reading. Looking elsewhere.
Yeah I didnāt know the terminology either, but I could guess.
The point is, young, middle-aged or old men are not alone because they are fat. Theyāre not alone because theyāre not the most attractive block on the play matt. They might be alone if they actually smell, but mostly itās a combination of oozing self-loathing and this weirdo expectation that somehow while they think they are at the bottom of the barrel, pre hate all women stage, they expect to date and sleep with models. That picture above from @TranquilityBase is a good example although I canāt really tell who is the target in that, the woman I assume and not the pillow dating guy?
Gemini countered that Project Veritas had misrepresented itself in its insurance application:
OāKeefe would never, ever do such a thing, would he?..
Iāll see your redpanels and raise you a redpill comic.
