@wisdom9091 WTF are you babbling about? Your comments keep showing up as gobbledygook word salad of non-sequiturs

@yetanotherjohn many of them are products of bullying and peer pressure that they got or are getting now in their formative teenage years so applying more of that mentality isn't going to work to remedy the situation

@TypOPositiv the internet has quite a lot to do with the problem as this is where many of them became radicalized on forums that just fed on self-loathing and victimhood

The demonizing of incels isn't helping either and just further fuels the self-loathing and victimization complex. These aren't entitled rich guys with power or influence. Many of them were or are being bullied and mocked in junior and high school by their peers causing some of them to go down dark paths aided by certain internet forums which pile on the aforementioned self-loathing and victimization. The incel issue is a multifaceted multi-layered problem that can't be solved simply by legalizing prostitution or putting them all under government surveillance. They are more a dark byproduct of a society that stigmatizes both sex work and paying for sex (even though rich guys hit up escorts and sugar babies all the time), a society that emphasizes personal success lies in shallow sexual conquest and having the perfect partner(s) which is based on materialism (materialism reinforced by advertising and marketing), a subculture of the internet that feeds on and spreads negativity, and wrapped around it all is undiagnosed mental illnesses due to low quality healthcare. Throw in declining education standards and manipulation by socio-political movements like the Alt-right which try to make feminism as part of some kooky communist plot to take over the world and you get incels: yet another modern primarily first world problem to distract us from our encroaching societal collapse and potential extinction from climate change.

particularly as our world population is at 7 billion and our consumption is fueling our demise. Another aspect is marketing - sex sells. Much of our modern world is fueled by preying on insecurities in order to sell people stuff they don't need. Success is sold as a guy with a great car, a great car gets the girls, getting the girls is the goal so get that great car and everything will be great, etc... It's superficial goals that have no real destination or offer any real satisfaction because the true goal is just trying to get people to buy something.

@sharlharmakhis280 there's also a fair bit of manipulation going on by grifters for money or political purposes. The Alt-right has been particularly effective in getting incels to be more conservative into seeing feminism as the evil product of Leftism in general. Meanwhile grifters have been manipulating them to give them money in selling them snake oil pick-up artist techniques

poverty and undiagnosed mental issues due to poor healthcare have more to do with it than angry (often middle class) frustrated males typing angrily on the internet

@oldflowers1342 it's a term they have taken but they didn't come up with it. They use it to further fuel the cycle of negativity and self-loathing amongst themselves especially on internet sites. On another note it doesn't help when the label incel gets thrown around at the drop of the hat to reinforce societal norms and silence debate. It's the same with people who label others racist at the drop of the hat to the point where the word loses its ability to stigmatize and shame and instead causes some people to double-down and actually go over to the other side. Everything gets muddy and the real incels and racists (ie the real problem) get overlooked.
