this is why i have no pity for incels
It's rough to be an awkward teenager, struggling to find the kind of mutual affection that you're biologically programmed to crave. Like, bares mentioning that the OG incel was a woman complaining how much difficulty she had getting laid. And one of her primary complaints was how clumsy, prudish, and superficial her male peers proved themselves to be.
The 4chan crowd decided to Rule 30 her blog and insist this was an exclusively cis-het male problem. And then the right-wing outrage machine keyed in on it and decided this was a problem caused by the villanious cartel of liberal feminists, who were all trying to groom eligible bachelorettes into man-hating lesbians with hairy legs and pink hair. And now we've got an entire industry dedicated to telling men "Go to the gym, eat meat, be extremely misogynist, and vote for Donald Trump so you can have your dream of a 10/10 stacked Tradwife hottie in the suburbs with 12 kids".
"Incel" has gone from a feminist critique of unrealistic expectations of teen dating into a reactionary consumerist fantasy.
fair enough. news to me.
i still have no pity.
