A 120 page comic posted on twitter that takes a dark look into involuntary celibate culture. Posted here for archival purposes as twitter is a very unstable...
It's an interesting look inside the mind of an incel (it's all told from his perspective), but like I said, it is brutal. It doesn't hold anything back. I think it's worth it anyway, but I thought I would warn people now.
You're viewing a single thread.
There is at least a portion of this that is just laziness, pretty much everyone but the richest and most attractive people have to work for companionship. It has become more difficult for everyone else in the past 10-ish years as our society has become increasingly atomized socially but that’s as much quarter as I’m willing to give these women hating assholes who want a sex and chore slave instead of a relationship
But is the laziness a product of the depression that comes from the self-loathing and the social anxiety?
Make no mistake, I'm no more excusing their behavior than Frank Edward is, but getting inside their minds might just be able to give people the tools to talk someone they know out of committing something horrific.
Oh I’m agreeing with you overall, just trying to show how poorly constructed their own perspective is, and while the depression and anxiety is obviously contributing, the underlying issue for both of those conditions for many is that our society has become completely segmented. People in my experience are not looking to expand their social circles and in general do not trust people outside of their circles.
Do many incels have clinical conditions that they don’t get treatment for because of toxic masculinity and have their perspectives reinforced by shitbags like Andrew Tate that prey on them? No doubt 100%. But I don’t think under diagnosed and treated mental health issues tell the whole story. And that is coming from someone who’s is chronically depressed, anxious, frighteningly single, who also has few friends because of a recent cross country relocation. The only people I blame for this are those at the levers of power that have been driving us in this direction for quite some time
