      As a leftwing incel I find that offensive, the right wing incels give us a bad name

        I’ll bite, in what way are left wing incels different? Genuinely curious because I’ve never heard incels split into right vs left before.

          I mean an incel is just some one who’s involuntarily celibate, it wasn’t a political thing it used to just be a bunch of awkward guys on the net the BS politics and the insane misogyny all came later.

          What’s even funnier is that often being a „good feminist“ can literally lead you to getting no pussy which often drives these people into even more misogyny. I have extreme anxiety talking to people I find attractive and have a very hard time reading people’s body language as to when they’re sexually interested, the only time I’ve ever managed to pick up a random person has been basically when I acted like a pick up artist. It sucks and I hate it but in cis dating (at least where i live) basically all the responsibility is put on the man and it fucking sucks.

          The right wing incels don’t get a pass for their shitty politics but being starved of intimacy as an adult human is a form of torture imo and it fucking sucks. Not that men or any person has a right to other people’s bodies but I’m pretty sure if you deprived a bunch of men of any form of sexual intimacy 99% of them would go fucking insane. There is a reason why celibacy was considered a spiritual practice or sacrifice for humans it’s not an easy thing to do or be.

          Edit: I mean I’m fine with downvotes but it’s telling that people just click the button instead of actually trying to positively contribute in some way. Cis dating sucks, and dating as a heterosexual man is miserable if you don’t fit into society’s expectations of what a „man“ is. I find it hilarious how leftists will literally have a systematic critique for everything, but when confronted with this issue they’ll just point and laugh at the loser incel men because they deserve what’s happening to them. I’ve met a couple of really nice incels who aren’t reactionary they just find it really difficult to date. Whatever some feminist completely agree with me on this point so I don’t really mind what random internet people say.

      Don’t forget the overwhelming general apathy towards, and lack of participation in, politics the majority has.

        well yeah, if we were organized in collectives and unions to actually push for better policy, it wouldn’t be as much of a problem.
