I am always incredulous when guys I know say they've never heard of incels. I barely understand Reddit, and I've come across them. But then I realize that a lot of the reporting was from freaked women going "wtf is this", and so the guys probably wouldn't have seen it.
The moment I learned what an incel was, it was sudden understanding of "Well if that's how they're describing themselves, that's a whole set of red flags right there"

Yeah, it's like a hate ouroboros. They give you reasons to avoid them and then get angry about no one "worthy" liking them. But now that the harm is being realized, people are paying attention. And not in a way they'll want.

I just thought this under the MRA umbrella

I saw a really good thread about how yes, it is, but then it diverged. MRA uses a (misinformed) human rights framework, while incels are more BURN IT DOWN crazy

I just don't get it. If you're whole "thing" in life is getting your dick wet and being angry when you don't - you're not exactly making women who would otherwise *maybe* have sex with you feel valued or safe.

Also, I am a sensual, physical person. Sex is nice. But if sex isn't happening for whatever reason. It's not the end of life as I know it. If someone is that concerned with sex/lack of sex, that's really alarming.
-
A lot of it is a dissemination of toxic masculinity, which swings both ways. Guys are told they should be getting laid by a certain age, or with however many people. I feel like if more people were like, you're own place is 100% fine, it would cut down a bunch.
-
With girls, I think it has more to do with your friend group, but there are whole genres about dudes needing to get laid, or have epic broventures and that bs. It's cool if you like that, but you don't have to.

I've literally never heard the term incel.
-
Dunno if you've looked it up, but it's INvoluntarily CELibate. So they identify that their major issue is that nobody wants to fuck them, and think that the problem lies with EVERYONE ELSE. Like, what the fuck

It's a shortened version of "redditor"
