Toys, games, videos, books, etc. are cheaper, less effort and offer more variety than a real mate. Nobody should be forced to have a mate anyway. If it bothers you (but why would it?) then just remember that virgins' genes won't be passed on unless they are a sperm/egg donor, which I imagine is a low percentage.

I think the idea is that unless something is presented in the most hyperbolic, disaster ridden terms people worry that others won't pay attention.

Having been an incel before, I can safely say, its a disease of thought. Not exactly a mental illness (though it can contribute), but certainly an infectious and harmful thought process.

I don't care how so much, I just wish we can get over with "change society" as quick as possible.

I can argue being in similar shoes to the sexless, mostly single people.

It sure is comparable. The ideology, not virginity.

Though I dont see the value in virginity anyway.

And sacrifices to the volcano God.

Maybe we are going about this wrong, as many troubles as there are in the modern world what we need is more sacrifices to the volcano gods and goddesses. We should be encouraging this so we use these people to help appease the goddess.

Incel does not simply mean "one who is a virgin who would like to have sex", incel is a toxic worldview with specific dehumanizing beliefs about women. Most virgins aren't incels, and most virgins wouldn't call themselves that because they know what the word is associated with and don't want to be seen that way.

You are mostly correct in that that was how it was originally used, but often now it is used as an insult to those who do not necessarily subscribe to such a world view but who are virgins.

The whole "incel" thing perplexes me, mostly because it seems to come from a place of extreme entitlement. Let me be very clear. Sex is not a right and should not be viewed in that light. So in short, I don't recognize this "epidemic" as a problem, especially since life without sex is quite easily possible. I understand it's probably frustrating to want sex and not find a willing party. But even if I did recognize this as a problem, the right of an individual to control (as much as possible) what happens to their body is a far greater priority.

So frankly, my only answer to this "epidemic" of involuntary celibacy is "Get over it." Sorry if it sounds harsh, but no one owes you the use of their own body, so either you've gotta get consent, or move on with your life. *shrug*

I mean, it is a problem considering they're going out and murdering people over it.

And conflating the two as synonymous, which is the other problem.

The politicization of it also pisses me off. Some are using "incel" as an insult to people who subscribe to views that are seen as right-wing like Jordan Peterson, even if the views don't directly have any relevance to dating and men/women relations.

Well, doesn't really change my opinion anyway because I know that "incel" or a related insult is just used to blanket generalize anyone that even hints at more traditional gender views, even if those may have more merit than the opposing.

I mean. Humanity has survived much better attempts at murdering us all than incels. They're gonna need to really step up their game if they wanna top Stalinism's high score on that front.

Just because something worse has been done somewhere else doesn't invalidate a current problem.

If that was the case, then no one should be complaining about Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Rwanda, Native Americans, etc... because China killed 40-90 million people under Mao.
