Okay, all these things apply to my life and I had the option to not be an incel. No need to play defense for incels this hard.
Actually, I was going to save it, but no, we’ve already had this struggle session on the site where it was made clear that this level of defense for incels makes femme users uncomfortable. Socializing doesn’t come easy to me, all you did were list excuses for not developing social skills though. I used to be friends with people who were incels IRL, and they became that way because they got coddled by the men in their life into thinking it was okay to not develop socially and “uWu they’re mentally ill it’s not their fault” when it very much is. There is no excuse for viewing women as subhuman because you have so little social skills that you can’t find someone else as socially inept as you and build a relationship from there.
This is on the same level as “uWu it wasn’t Hitler’s fault, he was just a product of his environment”. That’s a true statement, he was a product of his environment, doesn’t make him any less deserving of our ridicule.
It’s not shaming them for not performing patriarchal masculinity, it’s shaming them for hating women. You are being disingenuous if you think that’s all we hate incels for.
whenever incels are mentioned there are dozens of posts pointing and laughing and laughing and pointing and laughing and pointing and laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointingand laughing and pointing and laughing and pointing
cool on you for getting help for your schizophrenia im just a weaker person who deserves to die i guess
I have never kissed a woman, I have never slept with a woman, even though i have craved companionship all my life. I feel lonely every time I go to sleep and every time I wake up. I feel ashamed for this and feel like there’s something deeply personally wrong with me. My favorite movies are romance movies.
There’s nothing wrong with you, and that doesn’t make you an incel. I had a lot of these feelings when I was younger too. The difference between not getting laid and being an incel is the mindset you have. An incel uses their loneliness to fuel their loneliness and hatred towards other people. A normal person just gets a bit down about it. You don’t have to play defense for hateful people because you’re not included in that group unless you choose to be.
I feel for the people who just can’t find companionship. It is hard in this capitalist hellscape to find it. But ultimately the best way to find that companionship is to get out there. I do pretty well on queer dating apps, high rates of neurodivergence and more leftism than normal dating apps, albeit still a lot of libs. Maybe you’ll find someone on a discord server. I know long distance stuff kinda sucks, but it can be nice to have someone to fall asleep on call with and have that be your little “snuggle” fix.
Something I think you should remind yourself though is that you’re often romanticizing romance. Many people in relationships are in messy relationships that they shouldn’t be in. My last relationship existed, but was absolutely horrible for me. I was in that relationship because I felt the need to not be alone, and it destroyed me. Just put yourself out there in your own way, and you’ll find someone eventually. Feel free to be a little flirty, as long as you’re able to shut it down if someone asks you to.
no one has desired me in a decade. ive never felt part of a group. ive grown so much as a person over the last ten years, ive become such a more well-rounded more interesting person but none of that seems to matter, even at my most out-going there was just no one ot there for me. i just moved and i searched three years for a place and the place is much nicer but i just feel even more like shit. there seems to be less “out there” day by day and i live in a big fucking city and i am in university with people who have the same interest but everbody is too busy to have time for me and nobody wants to connect and im sure they all feel as lonely as i do but nothing ever amounts to anything and i got active in our institute and did events but nobody went to them
and im not queer i do not feel like a gender i do not feel like presenting any different or being anything and if people want to say he that is alright and if they want to say my name thats alright i dont care i just want to be wanted and for people to talk to me and be nice to me
of course i am romancing romance why do you think its called romance thats what romance is for, love transcends everything if you let it, love is the greatest force in the universe, theres this whole other world of experiences out there that i am just not privy to ive got all this skin that nobody has ever touched. if a woman gently caressed my thigh she could then stick a knife through my heart and that would be alright
I think you’re making a very dangerous conflation here. Yes, there are lazy assholes on the board who like punching down at miserable mentally ill people because ultimately the board is full of shitty people to only a slightly lesser degree than most places, and they fucking love being given permission to designate someone as subhuman if that designated subhuman doesn’t have a visible identity they can whip out to say they’re one of the good guys because they’re also socially minoritized. This leads to attacking a lot of mentally ill people, but woke.
However
“Incel” does not mean miserable loner with mental illness. There are a lot of miserable loners with mental illness who are not incels, and I know that because I’m one of them and have spent many years as one, but I’ve never called myself an “incel,” I don’t spend my time on internet boards with nazis ranting about why women should be slaves, as I said before, there’s a difference between having a rough time with being mentally ill and unloved and making a political project of hating women and seeking their terror and subjugation.
While it is totally within your capability to stop making this conflation, I don’t think it started with you nearly as much as it started with people masking their antisocial attitude towards, uh, let’s call them sad virgins by couching it in terms of rightful criticism of the politically heinous project of incels, the way that some “socialists” love going “white women be like” because they want to say “women be like.” They just phrase it differently to make their disgusting attitudes palatable to certain other self-styled progressives. My guess (I apologize for using italics to much here) is that you at least intuited this pattern of behavior but just drew a poor conclusion from it by letting those “fake woke” assholes convince you that you and incels have common cause when that could not be farther from the truth.
[In reference to some of your other comments] I’ve known guys like you who let the not getting laid thing develop into an obsession and have had such an obsession myself a long time ago. I can’t really help you with that, I couldn’t help the other guys and I myself only really understood how ridiculous that attitude is after I spent some time in a relationship, so I didn’t really need to outgrow it. I’m lonely again now and have been for years, but my experience tells me that fucking wouldn’t somehow make me whole and it’s not worth obsessing over. I can’t transmit that to you, so basically there’s just the drop in the bucket as my anecdotal evidence.
I think very few people on this board are going to engage with you constructively on this, so if their being gross is intolerable to you, it’s probably not good to keep complaining to them because you’re just an other to them. Some people can engage on this and I see one or two have though (e.g. the person who explained the significance of the fact that most people don’t like ER).
Edit: I should say that there’s also a lot of rightful incel-bashing that doesn’t make the conflation that I mentioned, it’s just that it can be misconstrued that way if you have already bought into “incel” being a codeword for “miserable loner with mental illness”.

So you were in a relationship? Some person told you “I love you” and no matter how short it was for a single faction of your existence you were loved and desired by somebody? Somebody told you “I want to share my life (however brief) with you?” That’s all I want, just give me a single second of that and I’ll never complain again. It’s not about getting laid, it’s about being desired. And being desired is a basic normal human need and when that need is not met and has never been met you’ll lose your mind.
That’s why you grew out of it when you had a relationship.
Sorry for having a mental illness, sorry for being stupid, sorry for being socially inept, sorry for not being a productive worker sorry for not being normal sorry for being born to poor parents who beat me, sorry for not rising above my class, sorry for being not normal, sorry for being such a loser, do I now deserve love???
It was a dumb question, but you’re failing to answer it because none of this explains why they are chuds if they “don’t want to be.” I’m an isolated, mentally ill loser who fell through the cracks, but I’d sooner die than join the incels.
I’m not talking about them being or not being communists, and don’t give me the “Masses, Elites, and Rebels” lecture. There are lots of other “slipped through the cracks” losers out there who aren’t incels, so many that it feels like our society is more crack than surface, and we can quip about there being commonality between incel ideology and liberal ideology, but most of those losers still aren’t incels, they still don’t make a political project of being hostile to women or anything like that.
Part of that is, if you care about words having meanings, most people aren’t chuds, and even among men it’s at least contested enough that it’s not “the basic mode of living” in most social contexts. As much as we can draw cute connections, the only time you see someone on CNN saying we should repeal the 19th Amendment is if they are wheeling out some internet crank, and the people on CSPAN who do believe it mostly keep it to themselves.
The difference is that these people don’t make hating women their personalities and political projects. These 4chan type misogynists are clearly having a different impact on young men than mainstream misogyny. Chris Brown beats women, but he wouldn’t celebrate someone like Elliot Rodgers trying to go on a killing spree of women. Incels are developing into terrorism and leaking into mainstream misogyny.
A lot of these people got radicalized into being incels by 4chan, a place where there are communists, albeit reactionary ones, but they had exposure to a lot of the same things that I did and still turned out that way.
Shit, the incel I knew personally even came out as a trans woman for a short amount of time. These people aren’t stupid, they understand they have some level of agency over their life, but it’s because of dipshits like you giving them the pass to say they have no agency over their life they can pretend they don’t.
capitalism goes rampant every single day, worsening conditions for everybody, severing all human connections, but yeah just SELF IMPROVE YOURSELF OUT OF IT JUST GO OUT INTO THE NONEXISTANT SOCIAL FABRIC
Okay, I’m a schizophrenic alcoholic, I have all the excuses in the world to self isolate and hate people. But even when I was drinking up to a gallon of vodka a day, I still had the option of going to meetings, going to therapy, getting on psych meds, being friends with my coworkers, ect. Acting like there’s “NOTHING WE CAN DO CAPITALISM RUINED EVERYTHING” is the self defeatist mindset that made me an alcoholic. So your speech is stupid and causing psychic damage to everybody that reads it.
Also to counter you mentioning me getting therapy and other such help is “privilege” I got that for free. There are still programs to get help for free, you just have to actually seek them. They still suck and are clearly held back by capitalism, but they exist. There is no excuse not to work on being a better person for your community and those around you other than not giving a fuck. I learned that from the immigrants I work with in kitchens that have 3 full time jobs and families they still take care of and spend time with.
That was obviously wrong I’m sorry. It’s just that my loneliness obviously doesn’t stem from my lack of status or from my poverty since even people mich lower on the social ladder have a romantic life which means all my problems are my own fault and I should feel ashamed for having them which is what I meant to write sorry I was having a panic attack
