sucks that “incel” is just like a generic insult now synonymous with “virgin” bc if people had much of an idea of what incel ideology actually entails, we could have a conversation about radical feminism being quite literally, beat for beat, incel shit for girls
radfems 🤝 incels:
- basic, inescapable biology dooms me to be a perpetual victim of the Other (Evil) Sex
- me and my ingroup are the primary victims of a society that is fundamentally and irreparably broken
- 99% of people cannot be trusted and will only hurt and disappoint me, so i need to stay sequestered in insular online communities where people won’t try to gaslight me into questioning these truths
- the outside world becomes harder and harder to bear as people won’t accept my reality, and even my once-closest friends reveal themselves to be of the Enemy
- eventually i have to accept the fact that nothing will ever, ever change, and i will die alone and deeply unhappy
like radfems also get blackpilled. they fall down pipelines into the deepest darkest extremes of their ideology, and it’s increasingly harder to get these people to reengage with the world specifically because their ideology posits that the world is corrupted and divided into Us and Them, and that the ingroup’s victim status is biological and innate. it’s a system that lends itself naturally to doomerism and blackpilling due partially to the social isolation that comes with it. and it’s equally difficult as with incels to “break through” the isolation because these people do not want help whatsoever. they have been thoroughly conditioned to see attempts at helping as Active Victimization and further proof of the rightness of their beliefs
