The real tragedy behind the whole "incel phenomenon" is really this. It is not a surprise that there is a growing loneliness in people living under late-stage capitalism or that as patriarchy gets dismantled that there is a growing portion of people for whom the patriarchal norms of dating and relationships just no longer work and who are struggling as new forms of relationships only very slowly begin to form. That an originally inclusive community gets so completely taken over by these miserable misogynistic forces is just simply terrible and tragic, but sadly also not particularly surprising, considering the way basically everything else in the world is going.
