    Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

    EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

        One is a symptom of the other (both at a societal level and an individual level)

            See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.

              Yes. Fuck incels. They’re pieces of misogynistic shit. I don’t care if you’re an incel or just some lonely guy, get a hobby.

                I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.

                There is a distinction to be made here though. Strictly speaking, being involuntarily celibate is a shame, and not at all bad.

                That being said, the term incel has addition context that isn’t strictly it’s definition, and that isn’t good.

                  If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or “promiscuous”. Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.

      Incels aren’t just lonely. That’s not even their defining characteristic. They are primarily egotistical, misogynistic, assholes that no self respecting woman should suffer. Loneliness is just the symptom of that.

      If letting them have AI girlfriends makes them happier without impacting anyone, then let the AI girlfriends flow!

      A lot of people in this very thread are dumb enough to think that saying sometimes isn’t an incel is the same thing as defending incels, and that you must therefore be an incel yourself. It’s really pathetic how people get triggered by a word like incel and just completely lose their ability to understand the simplest of statements.

      Is your point that incels are whiny bitches? We all knew that already but thanks for the reminder, I guess.
