well to me, it's just hard to have empathy when most of them really aren't actual "undesireables", most of them are white, cis, straight men who grew up at least with a roof over their heads. there are so many people with so many real problems in the world, and i don't buy into that oppression olympics type of mindset, so obviously the fact that most people are far worse off than them doesn't make their problems feel any less real. but the problems that they're whining about literally don't exist. there are lots of women out there who would end up falling in love with them in normal, healthy ways if incels didn't surround themselves constantly with a mindset that's so ridiculously misogynistic that it would be almost funny if it hadn't gotten so many women killed. they're brainwashing themselves with a mindset that's not only sexist, but almost always racist as well (and i very rarely see them attracted to any women who aren't skinny blonde white women with huge tits) because a belief system based on rules and dynamics that are dictated by how you physically look that puts white, straight, fit, attractive people at the top will always be fucked up.
i can empathize with some of them individually, but i really can't empathize with the incel mindset. i can understand where you're coming from, and it really does hurt to feel like you'll never belong in the world, but people who are really into this shit are just so insane
i guess, i just see several incel threads with tons of engagement almost every time i log on. it's just getting annoying to see them so often. you're right though, i definitely see tons of other threads that are really dumb on here haha
It's hard for me to respond to this in a way that won't put me into a box. If I responded and said you are wrong because of personal experience and XYZ. It's easy to say well you are just an incel for XYZ and then misogynistic for XYZ. Immediately throwing me out of the overton window of the discussion. When the reality is I under their problem I just haven't undertaken the extra step. Further, I think general society can be blamed further. You stated 25 I don't know the average age of the incel community but taking 25 as the age you gave and extrapolating further... How many years of porn has one consumed at that point? What's the tongue in cheek stat 9/10 men have watched porn and 1/10 are lying. 65% have watched porn in the last week and 92% in the last month (60/18% for women in case you are curious. The average age men watched porn for the first time by the way is 11 or 12. 15% under 10. Meaning by 25 likely a decade of porn has been consumed. Like I get one must be accountable for their own actions but since the age of 11 someone has been showed something repeatedly.... Can they really be accused of being misogynists when their experiences with women boil down to bad acting, depraved sexual acts, and whatever they hear from society? Sounds to me like there is a bigger problem then just *them*. You are also taking what I heavily assume to be men who are socially awkward, low social intelligence, and then blaming them for it. So on one hand you have someone who likely doesn't understand the social functioning of society, exposing them repeatedly to sexual acts that are unrealistic, isolating them, and the going okay now be normal. Add in years of bullying and whatever life factors they have.... They have been set up to fail.
Then think about this way how many of these men have had "good touch". Really truly how many of them even know what a good touch is or that it exists? The touch they've been exposed to is spanking/physical punishment, likely being hit by bullies, and doctor's. I was in medical school I can tell you despite being able to do it differently you are basically told to make it painful. You say they've brainwashed themselves... Have they? Or have they been brainwashed by society? Also, I don't know the stats regarding incels and murdering people but I'd wager it is an extremely low percentage. The irony being that may be one of the few people who cared for them instead of those who harmed them. So despite being exposed to likely violent acts from a young age, only knowing touch that is violent or at least uncomfortable, most *still* don't hurt anybody. You want to know what you are seeing. A small group of incels and the media pushing that narrative. Further bullying incels. Why because it's fucking fun for them to pick on virgins. You gave one of the reasons above... They are usually white, cis, and probably grew up middle class or above... Is there anything truly wrong with a white man being attracted to white women?
You know what really grinds my gears when discussing this topic. White men at least a good portion of them are suffering. And anytime one says it the knee-jerk reaction by society is basically you are white how bad can it be.... Where's a black girl to support... I went to college, I went to medical school (In Poland), where I was the victim of crimes and forced out illegally. I spent my life studying to become an oncologist to take people's cancer away, I donated to church, I never had so much as a speeding ticket... I took some of the hardest courses you could, have an undergrad degree (psychology), I was president of the oncology research group and was in it for 4 years.... When I came back to the US... The best job I could get despite over 150k in debt and years of schooling where I was literally at points in charge of someone's life... Making medical equipment for 22.78. Where I was constantly told I was stupid, retarted, dumb, etc... by co-workers, bosses, whatever. My job was basically putting a sticker on a bag. I studied my whole life including incredibly complex topics like biochemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, organic chemistry, a myriad of psych classes including neuro, and many others only for society to say you can play with stickers for a living in a temp job. All of that studying to play with stickers... For the record I cannot even get someone to talk to me about my legal case I can prove if you or anyone else PMs me I would be happy to. If it was a black girl she would have 17 lawyers, 8 congressman, 4 human rights advocates, a partridge and peartree, then a charted jet home. I'm white... I got a room at a homeless shelter. Because oh yeah white people don't have a community or support even one another I'm not sure you can anymore. So my family just abandoned me. Sorry I don't buy into this whole white people by and large have it better argument. Why because if it did I would be a doctor, have a lawyer, or a job that paid what I am worth.
As to me... I am a virgin. I don't know whether I am attractive or not for someone else to decide. What I do know is for most of my adult life I lived in the gym... Was in fantastic shape, was in college/medical school studying to take care of very sick people for a living, and I would like to think a decent person. I studied French in my spare time and I am well-traveled. I am not saying this to brag but rather to say I tried to be who I would want in a partner. I also did my best to talk to women who wouldn't give me the time of day. Did I have the expectation they'd sleep with me? No. Why? Because they are human beings. I also don't want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me. For the record I also like small tits and brunettes :) The point of all of this is society is failing men particularly white men and incels are pathology of this. Not only are they being failed but they are also being told they don't matter, they don't have a voice, to shut up, suck it up, and then being bullied for it. Sorry I think that's wrong. I don't care who you are society is doing people dirty right now and needs to be held accountable. I don't care whether you are black, white, asian, mexican, whatever.. There is plenty to be mad whoever you are.
Lastly, you know who should be really fucking angry. Women. Because men are being failed and they are taking the punishment for it.
