The online incel community has taken a break from blaming women for their ongoing failures in life to issue a collective tantrum over Netflix’s new drama Adolescence, which dares—dares, mind you—to portray incel culture as the toxic, rage-filled echo chamber it so demonstrably is.

I dated an incel years ago for around 18 months. Dunno if anyone's interested in that, but just a random anecdote I have

It was before anyone had even heard of incels. He hid his women hating side, and I thought I could help him with his issues (spoiler: I could not). His sexual dysfunction was 😳😳😳 so I've no doubt he was sexually abused as a child. After we broke up he showed more of his true self like hating women and he was really petty and vindictive eg spreading really private info about me to people. From what I hear now he's drinking heavily.

Years later I read about incels online and was like "holy shit that's him!" Explained a lot.

Oh, the 'I can fix him' special. Been there, done that, good on you to leave, you are worth more than that is all I can say.
