just read it, against my better judgment. if it's understood to be specifically about "movement incels", the type who participates in actual misogynistic hate speech on those specific forums, it's a reasonable article. that surprised me. expected something much nastier.

it doesn't provide much evidence for the stated contention that actually, feminists are lonely men's best friends, though

agree, not every claim is well justified, but my expectations are low for this kind of writing

I saw about 50% reasonable claims and 50% deliberate bad-faith assertions. Also entirely missed the point that this is an emergent phenomenon that needs to be understood in terms of systems dynamics, not what some particular demographic group 'wants'. Simplistic dogma.

agree. objectively it's terrible reasoning but I'm not trying to hold it up to the standards of an actual essay. it's just clickbait. I was just remarking that for the genre it is, and the what I would have expected from the author, it's less awful than I was expecting.

are we going to have a side discussion about what the nature of the emergent phenomenon here is? I dunno if it's that interesting really. alienated young men are struggling with all spheres of their life (family, sex, employment, community) and are now a low status punching bag.

is the interesting part trying to figure out which of the alienated young men (but for the grace of god...) are terminal cases? if they're terminal, what do you do about it? don't want to believe anyone is beyond help. how do you help?

but it's so tedious. let's all go write "N+1 rules for Life" books and get some of that action. nah. let's not.
