What worries memost about incel culture is the normalising of it through memes like "tfw no gf" and "waifu's"
Well Incel culture is based on young males who feel like society owes them, while sex and relationships do play into it, incel stuff I've read tends towards a feeling of entitlement to attention, success, sex and a relationships because they are men.

Hmm, it's something I've never really cared about looking into, given that it's pretty much an internet forum 'den of iniquity' sort of culture. I'm just interested to know where it all stems from, and why it does so.

With regards to the memes you mentioned before, I'm actually interested to know if they originated with or have been coopted into incel ideas, because I've never really connected the two.

I think there must be some sort of toxic mixture that amalgamates a lot of the ideas of perfection in fiction, loneliness, and a feeling of being hard-done-by into this sort of ideology, which feeds off of people's vulnerability. It's kind of sad, but also really scary to me.
-
Yeah I would agree with that, it kind of spirals into a toxic mess of misogyny and entitlement very quickly. It hits home sometimes just how close I came to thinking these kinds of things

I concur. Perhaps fortunately(?) for me any dangerous potential my loneliness could have is counterbalanced by enough self-hatred that I struggle to feel entitled to anything.
