    I'm pretty upset by the general failure of the media to adquately describe the deeply troubling issue of the incel/redpill communities. Deep seeded misogyny is what inspired the van attack in Toronto. This is an undeniable fact.

        I remember as SOON as I saw the breaking news headline, there were replies saying things like "This is what happens when you just let anyone into your country." No. Fuck you. Fuck. You.

        And now I'm reading articles that are suggesting that these communities are somewhat "ironic", as if that's some kind of excuse. Or they aren't going into any kind of detail to explain just how vicious they are.

        Their rhetoric is based in jokey-joke, ironic, language. That's how the media they consume talks. I know this because there are a few creators I once liked - or even still currently like - that these people like too.

        That doesn't make those interests inherently bad, btw. That is such a shallow way of looking at the matter. No, these are the same people that only think I like these things because a man introduced them to me. That is one of the beliefs they hold.

        Now this "community" is getting somewhat of an international media spotlight because of a horrific act of terrorism, and news outlets don't know how to report on them properly. They're labeled an "other", this group of virgin nerds that can't get laid so they're angry at women.

        That paltry explanation covers the bit at the top, but it doesn't go deep enough. It's good that outlets are addressing the fact - FACT - that they worship a mass murderer who was driven by misogyny, and encourage others to do what he did.

        What needs to be driven home is how innocently it starts. How it has this guise of being there for the downtrodden. It starts with guys being upset that women only want men brimming with confidence, that no one wants to date an awkward nerd.

        I had a guy explode at me because of this. I've tried to explain to others why I was so scared, but I don't feel like they get it. I laugh it off a lot, but it's deeply troubling. Deeply. He and I got along at first too - similar interests.
