If I whine about being a kissless, hugless virgin that no woman would ever want to fuck, let alone date as a long-term companion because I'm ugly -- If I do that and play the "I'm an ugly incel, no one wants me, woe is me." trope completely straight, on most forums on the internet I will get negative comments, hostile comments, and comments that call for so-called incels gone from that forum.
And guess what? If I were attractive I could post my picture to those very same forums and all the hostile comments would immediately soften by a degree or two. I'd have people worried about me, being gentle with me. I'd have women in my inbox wanting me more than anything despite the incel label. I'd probably get way more upvotes too.
But instead, you understand that I'm ugly. The people angry that an ugly virgin is complaining will be harsh and aggressive, they won't hold back their ire, no one will care about my fate, they just want me to stop moaning about it. I experienced that in a thread just a minute ago.
That's one of many realities of ugly versus good-looking dichotomies.
For as much as Reddit is a forum where incels go to be shouted down for their woes, ugly incels are proven time and time again their struggles are real by that very same website.
/r/amiugly is a perfect example of this. Hordes and hordes of good-looking attractive men and women post there, upvoted and showered with attention. People worry for them and coddle them. The genuinely unattractive people who post there get ignored, buried and forgotten, or more accurately, never noticed. Some, especially the women who are unattractive, get treated really poorly. This isn't a comment that can age poorly, because if you sort for the top comments of the past month of any given month in a year, you will see mostly attractive (usually white) people at the top, usually being coddled, told they aren't ugly and people worrying for them.
I've seen the same trend on incel forums and subreddits, where the good-looking ones understand their advantage, and spam their face all over the place knowing what it will inevitably lead to: them getting hand-picked out of the forum by women who find them attractive. I've seen the most vile, insulting, picky, hateful but very attractive so-called "incels" get tens of DMs from women and brag about how they get their pick of the litter.
The good-looking versus ugly filter is pervasive in every space, digital or real. From the popular people, to the bottom dwellers. You see it on Tiktok, you see it on Reddit, you see it on TV, you see it on online dating, you see it even in spaces like this, or /r/amiugly or as I mentioned, the so-called "incelosphere".
Despite the many people on this website who want to attack those who preach the importance of looks in our society, It's far too easy to prove how much it matters. The examples proving my point are limitless, and the people who try and debate me on this, often end up proving my point. This isn't MY ideology, It's not something I wish to be like this, It's what society and human nature unfortunately trend towards -- a heavy bias in favor of attractive people and against ugly people.
This is why, as an ugly person, It's so important to me that I have the option to ctb. I don't have the power to change how our entire civilization works, but I should at least have the power to make it so that I don't have to suffer as the village whipping boy any longer.
