Here’s an excerpt from an article: “The [Southern Poverty Law] center, which closely tracks hate speech, reports that incels grew out of the pickup artist movement, which takes a manipulative approach to seduction, but is rejected by incels who find it too humanizing of women.”

It's a pretty Lovecraftian experience reading up on that. I first encountered the term when a post from the incel subreddit was being circulated, about a guy complaining about the movie Logan. (He didn't like Wolverine being cloned as a girl.)

Woah. Spoilers.

Eh, it’s fine. I’m not too crushed. I just need to sit down and watch

I recommend it. Jackman is great, Stewart is great, and the young lady in the movie is going to play Lyra in the BBCs adaptation of The Golden Compass. (And she's great.)

Yes, I’ve been following that very closely!
-
Awesome! I do need to re-read the books. So much to do.

Glad I’m a day later than an 80-year-old

I would direct you to Reddit but I was told they actually shut that sub down. It was... a concerning place. Very concerning.
-
Yeah, so I’m learning.

there's still r/braincels that they made as an alt that is (slightly) less vitriolic, but still mind boggling.
