the dudes who would rather think a typical incel post is a parody rather than engage with the level of hate it displays are the reason women have been screaming a warning about these awful people as they have gone on to kill repeatedly
:) - well I googled "incel" and I'm ready to argue on their behalf but I can't understand why all the feminists and racism-haters don't see this as another societal oppressor worth opposing?

If you're actually trying to learn something, please read this thread. https://twitter.com/redlightvoices/status/989804888740818945?s=19 … Incels are NOT just guys who are sad about not getting any.

thank you -- my googling of the word just defined it as involuntary celibacy so it may help to see multiple subsets in that group - entitlement is an issue in lots of contexts, but it's also frequently lobbed by racists claiming PoC are entitled whiners when they claim microaggro
-
Okay, cool. Well, feminists have been talking about this issue literally for years, so try going back through some blog archives and see what else you can learn.

"this issue" seems far more complicated then one word that grabs a lot innocent and oppressed people in it
-
Did you read the thread? Men who self-identify as "incels" are not innocent or oppressed in this context. They've chosen to adopt a worldview and align themselves with a movement they is explicitly misogynistic.
-
so are people who self-identify as "white", right?
-
Not a good analogy. Again, incel doesn't mean someone who just hasn't had sex for a while. It means someone who CHOOSES to participate in communities like r/incel. They invented the term and happily applied it to themselves. No one is out here describing random people as incels.
-
it seems perhaps we are debating the meaning of that word?
@Wiktionary doesn't seem to agree with you - but note significant history and protected page status earlier this month https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=incel&action=history … - 5 more replies

"I did a cursory google search and am surely now an expert" is such a bad and painfully common take
-
because in this example cursory google search makes it appear that the words being used are not the words you actually mean - or the words are in paradigm shift or being redefined or whatever - but at first blush it seems attacking groups that include other people than are meant

I see only one article https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/04/24/i-laugh-death-normies-how-incels-are-celebrating-toronto-mass-killing … and it refers to them as part of the "ecosystem" not the movement - are there more? but sure
#yesallmen - but why attack the whole rather than empower the weak? - 1 more reply
