      Re: incels. The old 4chan “alpha male” copypasta is at least 10 years old. Reading this when you’re ~20 and hate yourself is like a lobotomy. http://www.copypastas.org/p/im-an-alpha-male-b …

      It’s a mistake to see them as merely entitled. Incel boards are full of guys measuring their philtrum and convincing each other it makes them unloveable. It’s a system, a hell they build for themselves of vulgar sociobiology and evolutionary psychology.

          They rightly identify the source of their pain (that vulgar evopsych), but wrongly ascribe it’s cause, so they retreat to structures that existed before such ideas grew and grew powerful.

          Addendum: I’ve been catching up with these guys for a few days and it’s made me feel genuinely, irrationally bad about my appearance. And I know better!https://twitter.com/merrittk/status/990420998037164032 …

          just being immersed in those forums for a couple of weeks was rotting my brain. it's this bizarre, selective use of (usually evopsych) science to construct 'objective' theories of attractiveness not just in women, but men
