1/ I shouldn’t comment on @DouthatNYT’s terrible piece arguing that Incel men have a right to sex workers and sex robots. It’s embarrassingly bad.
But it’s also missing the point. And as someone that has met many #gamergate members at my college talks, I want to tell you why.

Not only COMPLETELY agree, I KNOW it to be true-I in my 20s fit that description to a T & was just as miserable as you state. Fortunately I developed out of it, but even though I'm happily married & have great female friends I still feel effects of it on my interactions w/ women.

Many of those absolutely CAN be reached if we try to show them a better way & show them in a productive way how their actions are counterproductive to their goals. But ostracizing and mocking them just makes them dig in deeper.

The therapy stigma is such a big problem. Therapists are there to help you. Listen to your problems. It’s important. Welll said.

I always love the empathy you show, even after all you've gone through. They're scary people but they can save themselves, they're suffering before all. And that's indeed where we should lead them.

They would first have to realize that it is THEIR problem. I’ve been waiting 20 years for the possible incel in my life to realize this, so I’m not holding my breath. Many times, I have talked with him, trying to help, but to no avail.

If you're talking about your own child maybe you should spend some time reflecting on how your parentage has caused this, and then maybe you should act on it and help them instead of bitching about them on the internet.

You don’t have any adult children?

I think your sympathy is misplaced. I can still very clearly remember Elliott Rodger's videos and words - and actions. They were horrifying. You are not describing him, nor the many incels who advocate for things like imprisoning women in their basements as sex slaves.

As a father of two teenage boys 1st parents need to talk with their kids 2nd teens today of all genders communicate with their phones rather than with eachother and that is a real problem. What we say to the glass in front of us is not what how we would converse in real life.

The problem is their isolation issues overlap with misogynist and white supremacist agendas as well as an unrealistic sense of white male entitlement being exacerbated by Trump. Its threatening the fabric of our democracy at this point. Your advice sound.

I guess I'd be considered an 'incel' in other peoples eyes. But truth is I spent my teens and my 20's worrying, then one day I just accepted that no one could love me and I just moved on with my life. I have 2 close lady friends and I'm content to even have those to confide in.

Brianna, whilst this might be true for gamer gaters who are not incels, this doesn't apply here. Incels have a sub-identity which includes and "glorifies" people with personality disorders or are on the autistic spectrum : mentalcels. Some incels even "fake" autism for status
