Mocking incels does indeed confirm their narrative - that they are widely disdained - but while some have described this as a problem, and at worst a reason to cease such disdain, I do not.

Mocking them as "men who can't get laid" wld maybe be a problem, but the disdain isn't that, it's a mockery of "men who can't get laid & then use that as a pillar of their identity & then come up with a vast narrative about their own oppression that's mostly about hating women."

That identity based outlet for their sexual frustration does not feed on mockery, it feeds on that frustration and so the disdain levelled at them, real and imagined, is not the source of incels.

Plenty of dudes lack romantic success, for a range of reasons, but only some employ the specific "incel" network of rationalisation around their sexual frustration. But that's what it is, a set of rationalisations - its core is the fact of their thwarted desires.

That isn't going away, unless someone starts a
#fkanincel campaign. And switching off or on the "social disdain" part of that rationalisation cluster doesn't strike at anything really. If anything removing the social cost of being an incel will take them offline.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -
Because as it is their social network is predominantly held online, and held online because generally gatherings of them would get laughed at in public. Making sure that laughter doesn't happen isn't going to make their movement collapse.

Acting as though their response to romantic failure is anything but perverse and abherent is not going to change the stance of a committed incel and is only going to ease the path of fence sitters. So mock away.

These are gender Nazis. You don't try to commiserate with them; you deck them and then make memes about it.

Also see this... In that the feedback loop is not between disdain and incel but between Chad/jock and incel... They are in a symbiotic relationship with other forms of toxic masculinity far more than they are with leftist disdain for their movement.https://twitter.com/hpstorian/status/974223661287657472?s=19 …
