The “involuntarily celibate” part is more a reference to the fact that they think they’re supposed to get all of the (conventionally) extra attractive women, and when they of course don’t, they are “involuntarily” made “celibate”.

They want a fantasy girlfriend - feel entitled to it. If it was just about getting laid, these guys would just save up money and join the other sex tourists. 

I don’t know if this is progress or not, but the slightly more self-aware wing of this tribe seems to have spawned the “level-up/high-value man” branch of wayward masculinity. It insists that men recognize the “natural” divides of attraction/desirability and improve themselves (get fit, dress better, make more money,…

Because the celibacy thing is just a front for their real motivation, which is hatred of women.

As I understand it, the thing about incels is not that they believe they cannot get laid by anyone *period*, but rather that they can’t get laid by the right kind of women—i.e., exceptionally conventionally attractive women, which I think they refer to as “Stacys” (the female version of a “Chad”. I learned about all…

Imagine how much happier they would be if the incels just got together and started blowing each other...

This is how I felt in 8th grade when two of my best friends went to third base with cute boys and I was still waiting for my first kiss. The betrayal, the jealousy, the self-loathing. Beware, incels. It’s a short path from french kissing to giving blow jobs to randos.

I thought the whole meaning behind the word “incel” was that they are involuntarily celibate. That would seem to indicate that if they could get laid, they would. They aren’t proud to be celibate, it’s something that is supposedly forced on them. So why would they get mad when one of their wangless dork leaders is no…

Yes, I agree. Pretending you are just naturally super thin is the issue here, especially when everyone knows that you were not always so thin. Women, especially young women, see this and think there is something wrong with them because they don’t have that “natural” thinness. I don’t care if you want to starve…

My kid watched her old show as reruns on Netflix and…kids, the whole damn thing was changed up. She was definitely more “healthy” looking in that show - like she had the normal amount of fat on her arms and face. She was not fat, she just was not rail thin. Her eyebrows, her hair, her nose, her face, pretty much the…

It’s a mental health issue/addiction. Denialism comes with the territory. Plus much like substance abuse, eating disorders are treated like a moral failing. 

With a trial conviction rate of 83%, it’s fair to argue that federal prosecutors are too conservative in their decision making, but given they only get one bite at the apple, and wrongful prosecution is an issue in itself, I generally assume it’s at least a reasonable choice, barring specific information regarding the…

Yep. I call bullshit on this. While her overall point is sound, she’s is saying that when she was a bit bigger she was super unhealthy (drinking etc.) which means her current look is her version of healthy. Um. She’s emaciated. She looks thinner and more emaciated than I’ve ever seen her. And she’s looked at by…

I agree everyone is different, everyone’s story is different...and maybe she’s perfectly fine.......but there are times, when it comes to certain afflictions, that there is a common thread.

Coming from an old fart in her forties, this shit is tedious. Yes, they all starve themselves. The are generally attractive people who have plastic surgeons, stylists, estheticians, trainers, and chefs. And they also starve themselves. It’s not healthy, but they are going to keep doing it and claim that they aren’t. La…

Maybe I’m just an anonymous nobody gossiping, but this is Red Flag-y.

thank you! i was looking for a comment the justification that her “old” look was when she was “unhealthy” like its a justification for how she is now. 

I’m not invested in this at all, and agree that we should all mind our fucking business when it comes to other people’s health, but I do want to point out that what she said is EXACTLY what people with an ED say when someone voices concern about them.

Ugly girls don’t get top 40 pop music contracts. Her attractiveness is part of her brand and thus, open to criticism. Don’t want people to talk about how you look? Don’t market your physical appearance on social media.
