Being lonely and being an incel are two very different things.
One is a symptom of the other (both at a societal level and an individual level)
Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.
Okay.
See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it's funny.
Yes. Fuck incels. They're pieces of misogynistic shit. I don't care if you're an incel or just some lonely guy, get a hobby.
I have plenty. And I'm not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like "get a hobby".
People love to hate.
Are you defending incels or lonely men?
Can you really not figure that out?
Sounds like a whiny incel to me.
You sound like an idiot to me. Let me guess, you think I'm an incel, too?
The only people who would defend incels are incels themselves or incel adjacent, so I don't really give a fuck about your opinion lol.
What if I told you the person you're talking about isn't defending incels at all and you just have terrible reading comprehension?
Lmao. What if I told you I never said they were defending incels? Who would have terrible reading comprehension then? What are you trying to accomplish with this conversation? We all agree being lonely sucks.
There is a distinction to be made here though. Strictly speaking, being involuntarily celibate is a shame, and not at all bad.
That being said, the term incel has addition context that isn't strictly it's definition, and that isn't good.
If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or "promiscuous". Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.
