we see quite enough "less attractive" men in teh media already thx v much, it's not like John Goodman's career has been based on his hotness
-
it's not an example of a good proposal, it's an example of a harmless one that's inside the parameters
-
(if we were attempting to address The Incel Problem it'd be increasing representation of less attractive women that i could conceivably think is useful)
-
i have never read an incel forum where that was what they were asking for, so i feel a bit like you're motte-and-baileying. sure, that could be a net positive thing to do and within the realm of "redistribution of sex" but that's surely not what anyone is actually asking for.
-
oh whoof i'm not saying we should give incels anything they say they want. i'm just mad at people reading robin hanson going "by redistribution i mean anything that changes the distribution" and responding with "redistribution means confiscation to me so you mean rape"
-
but surely when people talk about redistributing income (to alleviate income inequality) the typical reading is "confiscating income" albeit generally via the tax code; i think he's written about this as well that "redistribution" means confiscation.
-
yeah it's for sure helping lots that "redistribution" has meant confiscation and handouts in US politics for a cool century. the relevant tweet:https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/990259534923956225 …

i mean, i just flat out don't want "policy options" regarding sex and people's sex lives, but particularly not from him and for this particular reason.

There are things that are positive that can be done to counteract a lot of these problems. The problem is that most of the responses to this people are getting upset about aren't examining this. It's all "Do the incels have a point?" not "What's making this issue exist?"

Also using Rorshach for this discussion feels infinitely compeximicatedly amusing to me.

Rorschach was volcel. Justice was his only love.
