    I realize just now, after the tragedy that happened in Toronto, that I was on my way to become a self-proclaimed "incel" when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. 1/

        Websites such as 9gag conforted me in my biased understanding that "nice guys" stand no chance vs bad and/or rich guys. Cause obviously I was a nice guy. Right? 2/

        In fairness, 9gag is also where I saw the make up routine by @AnnaAkana and started watching her videos. At the time I was at university and I confronted feminism with a hostile yet curious mind. 3/

        My trajectory is that of any geek, really. Played videogames, went on the internet... My luck is that I happened to have a saf mom (read strong as fuck). And also a twin sister.

        My favorite heroes growing up were Max from Dark angel, buffy the vampire, C-18 in dbz, Hermione Granger, Neytiri, Kaena... Kick ass women, but it took time for me to connect the dots.

        See, I studied English, as a French native. I used all media I could to improve, including TED talks. That is where I saw Chimamanda @AdichieSpeaks 's video : the danger of a single story.

        Feminism was a single story to me: I was a man, therefore an oppressor, a violent aggressor. No teenager boy in their right mind will accept that, or even study the possibility with an open mind. Then came University, new friends and, in 2014, @EmmaWatson 's UN speech.

        One of my heroes was shedding new light on the issue. So I started digging. Still am to this day. I avoided keeping the mindset that "not getting laid" meant "being nice". I think @AnnaAkana has a video where she says "being nice doesn't replace having a personality"

        I guess what I'm saying is: geek culture does carry a nasty trend of toxic masculinity. But it also is a vessel for positive, progressive messages. As long as we accept them and embrace them when we receive them.
