    Yep, this is going to be another way to come at socially awkward men, isn't it?https://twitter.com/Intrinsic29/status/992074638145437696 …

    Lol this "incel" witch hunt is so far the most bizarre thing I've ever seen on Twitter. I wonder what's next. pic.twitter.com/QuPNAHcsHY

        "What's that? You're ugly and awkward? Unable to communicate well with others? Will have to live the rest of your life miserable and alone? Unable to even hold down a job?" "Wait, I'm awesome at my job! They'd never fire me!" "We'll see about that."

        I really feel sorry for them, especially as most socially awkward men I’ve met have turned out to be incredibly sweet - they’re just painfully shy.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        Yes. And kids in school will co-opt this in bullying strategies also. The way society takes a sole outlier, imagines a large group of similar people on that basis, and then projects the same derogatory label on an entire demographic, is terribly normal, and deeply depressing.

        I love the presumption that people who bash the horrible "incels" are somehow morally pure, when in fact, they're just schoolyard bullies.

        There's some irony that the people who will be targeted are the men who are not traditionally masculine.

        not just the socially awkward but likely anyone on the high functioning end of the spectrum and Asperger suffers will get caught in that drag net too.

        I can see it now. A video made by rabid feminists... somewhere in a safe space. 1, "We must expose the incels for the safety of women!" 2, "Kill all men!" 1, "Shh! Incels are misgynists gone mad!" 2, "All men are rapists!" 1, "Quiet! 2, "Sorry..." 1 ... 2, "I want a penis!"
