      It’s not like we already have Japan with years ahead living this specific social crisis. Something could be learned.

        It’s amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too

      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.

              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.

        If you don’t want to be called an incel, don’t blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don’t stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.

        And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

          You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

              I have and experienced it (EDIT: on my own skin). Though admittedly any traumatic experience often makes you see things which aren’t there.

            Incels are called incels. Lonely guys are lonely guys. If you’re being called an incel, there’s a reason.

              I can literally call you anything right now in this comment, and there’d be a reason.

              That “no smoke without fire” thing is disgusting.

          Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere.

          I don’t see anything wrong with blaming society as a whole. There are definitely general problems with it at all times. Like in Nazi Germany or, say, Victorian England and any other time and place, each in its own way.

          This phrase feels as if you are putting yourself on the place of “society” to feel strong and the person you are addressing on the place of somebody opposing it.

          If they feel that too, then sure as hell they won’t listen to you if they have dignity.

          And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

          This works both ways.

          You really swung for the fences over somebody saying “calling all lonely men incels are bad.”

          You ABSOLUTELY proved his point, this comment was so damn extra in relation to o what you replied to.

            In my experience people aren’t calling lonely men incels, they’re calling men who are wholly unlikable who blame their loneliness and lack of sex on other people incels.

              who are wholly unlikable

              Well, I participate in such arguments because the only people wholly unlikable are those who are fine with calling others wholly unlikable.

              In my experience, I JUST watched you call somebody an incel because they said not all lonely men are incels. 🤷

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

        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.
