Honestly, while I don't like what these guys do. I definitely think they have some mental illness issues that should be treated, and some of them may be neurodivergent or have some physical issues with their brains or bodies that might make them unhinged that could be possibly treated with medication.

Dead serious here. People this bad generally have been abused / brainwashed when they were young, and some of them seem to have certain disabilities. Not saying they don't act like total trash, just that there's probably reasons behind it for at least some of these people. Plus, nowadays there are online cults waiting to pick them up and brainwash them when they're vulnerable. Used to be you had to go in person to a cult in the past.

I love how conservatives are obsessed with reproduction, but not with being desirable. What do they think the Hugo Boss drip was for, anyway?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being attractive isn't easy as demanding lower standards. Especially if you have some problem that you really have no control over like a severe birth defect.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 2 points 1 year ago

I can't personally relate to that. I spent half my twenties celibate on purpose because I decided to raise my standards. The secret ingredient was that it wasn't about looks, but personality. I'm now very happily paired up, and with some healthy lifestyle changes we're both genuinely kinda hot.

I don't think the "incel class" understands this. Beauty comes from within.

I've seen a few incels that made it on the news complaining about Chads and stuff. These weren't bad looking dudes. They were ugly as hell on the inside though. It's such a shame they're weaponized in society against women and themselves.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

For the incel this meme is in reference to, let me explain why the entire concept of serial monogamy = polygyny -> incels is misogynist. The excerpt you posted used the example of James Taylor (I think) dating dozens of women, and so some poor man out there who wanted a family and a “beautiful wife” now has that many fewer options. This is based on the misogynistic premise that women lose value after dating and are no longer “wife material” because they are no longer virgins. Those dozens of women that James Taylor dated are still able to marry after they stop dating him, so there is no polygyny in effect. I won’t get into the additional problematic usage of how these men need “beautiful” wives, but the men’s appearance and value is never in question.

Are you railing against something nobody else is even taking about?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On a well moderated forum, these things aren't being talked about.

Believe me, though, there are lurkers that hold that viewpoint that need to see this.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It got removed luckily, so if you didn’t see it, this is nonsense 🤷‍♀️ congrats on not having to absorb the garbage he was pumping out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was guessing you were responding to something, there just wasn't context. 😆

[–] TrismegistusMx 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is this about MrHand? That guy is unhinged.

[–] jeffw 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was just commenting on his shit. Sounds like schizophrenia

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I responded in earnest to him and only later realised what he was talking about with the "harassment" he was experiencing. Turns out he was talking about something like gangstalking, which is pretty conclusively a paranoid delusion.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like MrHand needs to get a grip

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If my wife fucked James Taylor I’d be so goddamn proud. Dude’s a legend.

[–] demlet -2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Well this is borderline unintelligible, I'll see myself out I guess. Carry on, people.

[–] Lakija 5 points 1 year ago

I don’t know how to actually read this. Is the dad saying the kid is an incel? It’s hard to tell. Am I too sleepy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed, this is basically nonsense.
How does it have >500 upvotes? O.o
