Did you know that abusers engage in love bombing? Love bombing is when you meet someone on Tinder but then they don't like you, so they go date someone else.

Contrary to popular belief it's not abuse when someone confides in you that their privacy has been violated, so you screenshot that exact message and post it to your large TikTok audience, triggering a worldwide harassment and doxxing campaign over someones lack of sexual morality, and worst of all, not continuing to date YOU

Really cool to get Quaker Oats or something to call your date a fucking slut

    Whenever I try to distill this problem I always come back to western enforcement of standards of beauty combined with gender related economic power dynamics.

    There are (at least) three overlapping systemic forces at play here.

      well what I think is strange is that the "incel" movement has existed basically since the early internet as far as I can tell, I do not recall the femcel thing taking off until somewhat recently

      the closest thing I can think of from a while ago is the all female imageboard crystalcafe which is/was filled with TERF protofemcels

        the term incel was coined by a woman. Its meaning has evolved a lot since then and the term "femcel" is very problematic.
