I know a ton of people who Do Not Fuck and almost none of them hate women

    Yes, it's entirely a position that stems from a place of entitlement

    You grow up consuming media saying Just Be Yourself and that weirdo outcasts always get the girl, and when it doesn't work then there must be something profoundly wrong with You so you turn into a bitter cave troll who hates everyone and everything that reminds you of how much of a failure you are

      The movement makes sense, i guess. As capitalism is continuing, the atomic family is being replaced with single, atomized workers. Just look at Japan, where nobody gets enough time off work to even try starting a family. But instead of fighting the forces that alienate us, they fetishize a past where being a man and having a job entitled you to a relationship. Classic reactionary stuff, obviously women and minorities are behind all their problems

        Daily reminder that Japan has the largest opposition communist party in the world, they aren't all reactionaries despite what the ruling class of those islands might have you think

      I think societal pressure to have sex and ostracism of those who don't or can't is a contributor too. I became way less hung up about sex when I realized that a person who would give me shit for being a virgin probably isn't someone I'd want to associate with anyway.

        Yeah, incels are definitely victims of toxic masculinity. If they can't attract women, that makes them "beta males", so they have to shift blame to someone else. Ironically these are people who would benefit from feminism

    This is the best place for incel-related content because the posters here are next level funny. When I first started reading wild incel shit, I did it on r/inceltears, but it was always such a lonely experience because the people there are extremely reddit-poisoned, just living funkopops. So i'd read something hilarious and evil that I'd want to make fun of, only to scroll down into the comments and just...cringe. They still haven't accepted that there's pretty much no helping these toxic fucks, and so their epic bantz take on an element of sanctimonious paternalism that keep them from making any really new or striking observations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they're mostly libs.
